This will be my 16th year working the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and it’s just as exciting as the first! So as a true insider in the know, I’m sharing why this sale is so special and how to approach this fashion event of the year like a pro.
*Continue to read till the end to see my TOP 10 #NSALE PICKS, oops 13 favorites because it was so hard to narrow down (included the runner ups too:)
WHY THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY IS A BIG DEAL…
First of all, the #Nsale is unlike any other sale and this is why … the merchandise is brand-new fall and ready-to-wear now merchandise straight from the vendor. After the sale, the prices go back up to full retail! This is a great time to try new brands and trends while prices are much lower, about 30-40% off retail. The Beauty Exclusives offer the best bundled sets and are an extra value.
I’ve been busy behind the scenes trying on my favorites, curating head-to-toe outfits and making beautiful #Nsale boards to shop from. You can view all my #Nsale content in one place here on the ShopLTK/Rosehayes app. If you are already following me on the LTK app, turn on your notifications because I’m updating and adding new boards as fast as I can. You can view all my latest boards here.
Many of you have asked how you can shop online and make sure I get credit, and I really appreciate this so thank you in advance! Tap on this Nordstrom link or any of the inks in this post, then continue to shop and check out as normal.

Isn’t this tweed jacket so cute?! I love it and the rhinestone tee under it! Tap here to shop or on the image above.
THE KEY IS IN THE CARD
This isn’t a gimmick to get more people to sign up for a Nordstrom card (although that’s not a bad idea and you really should have one if only to get access to the #Nsale) but rather it’s a reward for the top tier spenders. Icons will get to shop first before the most popular items sell out. So it really does pay to be a cardholder.
Here’s when you can shop:
ICONS: July 9
AMBASSADORS: JULY 10
INFLUENCERS: JULY 11
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: JULY 15
WHEN SHOULD YOU SHOP?
Now that you know what day you can shop the sale, next step is to have your wish list ready to go, add to cart and check out asap! That would be at midnight (eastern time). Make sure to make it a personal point day to get the maximum notes back. Then you can use those when you go back for a second round to stock up on the basics.
And don’t forget to shop for gifts during this epic sale. You’ll be happy later when you’ve crossed off some of those upcoming birthday, shower and holiday gifts.
HOT #NSALE TIP: If possible, choose expedited shipping because the web pickers have a deadline to find those items first BEFORE they fill the other regular, non-expedited orders.
Shop 2 piece dress and plaid blazer with matching pants here.
WHAT ARE THE BEST DEALS?
The best deals are on items that you will love and wear on the reg! You can always return later, so if you’re shopping online, consider 2 sizes when unsure how a brand fits. The best deals and biggest discounts are always on the more pricey items like fine jewelry, home items, and designer coats. For example, you can save over $250 on this Tumi luggage, over $500 on this luxe Max Mara coat, and almost $2000 saved on this Bony Levy Ruby bracelet!
Denim is a category that everyone wears practically everyday. So it is definitely a good idea to update your denim now! Here are a few of my faves that I either personally own, have tried on or seen on.Of course you know your girl is gonna get those barrel leg jeans if they are still available in my size on the 15th and I love the big cuff hem trend too!

MY SECRET STRATEGY
The brands that will sell out the fastest are almost always in the women’s contemporary category. That means first shop the popular brands such as Veronica Beard, Lagence, Cinq a Sept, Rag & Bone, Vince, Reiss, Mother, Frame, Allsaints, Paige, and Theory. This sweatshirt by Isabel Marant will 100% sell out super fast! Don’t panic if your favorites are sold out, because items come back so be patient and keep checking!
1 DESIGNER ON THE #NSALE
Anything designer is also a fabulous opportunity to get a special piece that might otherwise be beyond reach. Designer Coats like this one from Max Mara are beautiful classic pieces that will be in your closet for years to come!
Shop Max Mara Coats here.
This is the best time to buy a new coat and the COAT selection on the #Nsale this year is really good! There are 7 coats by Reiss on the #Nsale this year and all look chic and expensive.
One of my favorite things to buy is Designer Sunglasses during the #Nsale – the selection and prices are insanely good! I have my eye on these Celine sunnies here.
SHOP MY FAV SUNNIES & MORE HERE.
2 SNEAKERS ARE STILL SUPER POPULAR TO WEAR WITH LITERALLY EVERYTHING!
Here are a few of my favorites! The P448 is top on my list, they are super comfortable, chic, neutral and a great deal! The New Balance here WILL SELL OUT!
3 SEEING RED
Wearing the REISS Blazer & Pant, one of my favorite items on the #Nsale this year!
We’ve embraced the RED trend in a huge way! I love how the color red makes a statement on women of all shades and hair colors from black to platnium! From this cute Red Cinq a Sept long sleeve dress to red shoes and sneakers here, there’s something for everyone to stay on trend and feel just a little spicy 🙂
4 FALL ESSENTIALS
The top selling Rag and Bone Blazer is now available in a vest version here. Wear this layered or on its own as a top. Love it!
