    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 Picks

    The 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open for early access TODAY! I’m so excited to share my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 picks with you. I look forward to this sale all year. Every year, Nordstrom releases brand new fall merchandise at a discounted price. This means you get to stock up on trends and basics for fall early, and the prices go back up after the sale is over. It’s one of the only times of year that I buy now to wear later. This year the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale dates are July 28th through August 8th. However, if you are a Nordstrom card holder you may be able to start shopping today based on your status. Below is a breakdown of the dates.

    Now onto the good stuff. I’ve broken down my picks by clothing category as well as shoes, accessories, beauty, and home items. Starting off with sweaters, this year’s trends are all about chunky, interesting knits. We’re also still seeing cute feminine details like little collars and puff sleeves.

    Sweater Picks

    Dress Picks

    When it comes to dress for fall 2021 think long and lean styles, feminine prints, and matching sets. All of these can be worn with a boot or a booty and a leather jacket or cardigan.

    Shoe Picks

    The shoes we want this fall are a sleek, pointed toe boot or bootie and anything with a lug sole. Love the loafers as an easy shoe to throw on with everything. Everyone needs an updated white sneaker so this is a great time to grab a pair if you don’t already have one. And a few slip on styles to make a casual outfit look put together.

    Tops Picks

    Cardigan trends this fall consist of cropped with buttons, or a longer “coatigan” style. There’s no in between! I love the length on the cozy style here – you’re guaranteed to wear this style all fall, winter, and spring. Large collars on blouses and dresses are still trending and this off the shoulder top would look great with jeans for a night out.

    Bottoms Picks

    This fall we are wearing anything but skinny jeans! I will allow the faux leather legging but that’s where I draw the line. This midi skirt is also really cute and can be dressed up or down!

    Coats & Jackets Picks

    A tweed blazer or moto jacket can be thrown over almost anything and make the look put together. Coat trends for fall are sophisticated wool styles and longer styles with interesting quilting patterns. I love the hooded plaid coat ( a Maje knockoff). Still seeing a little bit of faux fur. Also LOVING anything tweed!

    Lounge & Intimates Picks

    The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the perfect time to stock up on basics like tees and undies – I linked my favorites from past years. I love the Nordstrom take on the nap dress (pockets!) and the Barefoot Dreams matching set!

    Accessories Picks

    I kicked myself last year for not getting that Clare V bag when I had the chance. Loving all of the jewelry in the sale – especially the natural pearl earrings! And I might need to get myself a pair of Barefoot Dreams socks for some pampering.

    Beauty Picks

    I got some intel from the beauty guru at my local Nordstrom that Neulash is what you want for longer, thicker lashes so I’m going to try it. I already use and love the gloPro and Nuface. The Clarins Double Serum and Chantecaille Bio Lifting mask are new to me so I’m excited to try. The beauty deals are always one of my favorite parts of the sale!

    Home Picks

    The biggest item in the home section is of course the Barefoot Dreams blanket. They sell out every year! I’m excited to try the Nordstrom towels, I’ve heard they’re the best! I also had a chance to smell all of the candles in the sale and they’re all amazing!

    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Guide 2020

    Happy Monday and Happy Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Day! The biggest sale of the entire year is here and I’ve narrowed down what you should pick up! Since I have a feeling we will be continuing to stay home a lot through the fall and winter I’ve focused on cozy pieces to keep you cute and comfy all winter long.

    Cardigans

    Starting off with cardigans, including the infamous Barefoot Dreams cardigan. This year they’ve added a cute leopard print!

    Tops

    I focused on cozy tops that could be worn with leggings for around the house or could easily be dressed up with jeans for when we do get to go out!

    Lounge and Intimates

    Lots of cute pajamas to keep you cozy! I also had to include my favorite intimates to stock up on. The Chantelle undies are the best for working out and won’t show lines through your leggings. And I usually pick up a new Natori bra during the sale. I also had to include a cozy Ugg robe. I got one last year and it’s my favorite purchase ever!

    Coats and Jackets

    I’m loving all of the cozy plush jackets as well as some longer styles and a cute blush rain jacket!

    Boots and Booties

    These Vince Camuto booties sold out last year and I wore them a ton. I also have the Marc Fischer booties that great to dress up or down. And it’s a great time to get a pair of Hunter rain boots at a discount!

    Shoes

    Lots of cute sneakers, flats, and heels to get you through the winter!

    Accessories

    I love a felt hat for fall. I also included the straw hat I’ve been wearing and the most adorable Coach bag!

    Beauty

    There are lots of great beauty options and its the perfect time to stock up on your faves! I tend to go for the devices and bundles that are at such a great price!

    That’s it! Card holders with Icon status can start shopping today. Tell me what you have your eye on in the comments!

    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Kids and Baby Picks

    To be honest, there wasn’t a huge amount of options this year for baby and kids. However, I found a few really great deals. There’s a few North Face and Patagonia options that are good deals as well, and this is a great time to buy these items on sale as they rarely get marked down until after/later during the cold season.

    Gear

    I have heard great things about these convertible car seats – how easy they are to install and adjust and that they don’t take up a ton of room in your car. Also this stroller and infant car seat have great reviews. I love that the stroller ahas a large basket for storage and has so many seat configurations. I always love an infant seat that goes with the stroller to make it a travel system and this seat is also lightweight which is a must!

    Items for Baby

    Some super cute baby items in the sale – like the Little Giraffe Blanket! Margot had one and still loves to cuddle and nap with it. Buntings always come in handy during our Wisconsin winter. I love this bath set from Noodle & Boo – it has everything you need! And although I don’t need a ton of stuff for baby number 2, I think she should have a new outfit and a new towel set!

    Items for Big Sister

    This sale is a great time to start looking for fall clothes for the littles. Margot will need a new puffer jacket for winter and I love this pink plaid one! She actually asks to wear jeans sometimes to match mom so maybe we’ll try these. Also loving a few cute sweaters. We love Converse shoes for her, but have also had a pair of See Kai Run shoes and they are awesome! I love these little high tops!

    The Natori bras are my absolute favorite and I usually get a new one during this sale. I also stock up on thongs and undies for the year. The Natori Girl Briefs are the comfiest, stretchiest briefs ever and the Hanky Panky lace thongs are the comfiest thongs I’ve ever worn. Love that both are great for pregnancy because they don’t get stretched out! I’m also very interested in trying these True & Co wireless bras!

    Tons of great activewear in this sale! I love the Alo brand and this matching bra and leggings is so pretty. Love the Patgonia Better Sweaters and I’ve been eyeing this full zip style. Also gotta have a pair of Spanx leggings! The faux leather leggings are a fall staple and I am loving the camo pair this year!

    Skirts and Dresses

    Midi skirts are a huge trend this fall! The leopard pleated number was already limited in sizes in my store so get that one right away if it is on your list! Also loving the satin slip skirt from Something Navy. I love the henley midi dress and this pleated dress is the prettiest dress in the sale!

    Coats and Jackets

    This is a great time to get your fall jackets and winter coats at a discounted price! The camo jacket came home with me! Love a packable puffer – probably my most worn coat in the winter. Lots of great plaid blazers, too. I narrowed it down to just a few choices.

    Accessories

    I love wearing felt hats in the winter and this one came home with me! SO many cute sunnies at great prices. There are tons of cute scarves and ponchos in great plaids for fall. I love this Tory Burch bag shape. And this faux leather weekender bag is the perfect size!
