NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE 2019! MY TOP PICKS & RECOMMENDATIONS!

Its here!!  The biggest shopping event of the year! The sale is overwhelming even to me - who is very familiar with how it all goes down as I've been shopping it / covering it for the last 3 years!  But my goal here between my YouTube video and this blog post is to break it down so it feels less overwhelming to you-and really zero in on the best sellers (that are bound to sell out) and my own personal picks for the Fall!  

WHEN CAN I SHOP?

Early Access begins on Friday, July 12 at 12:30pm EST and is open to all card holders.  This is one of the very few times that I highly recommend having a store card.  Its worth it since things often sell out during Early Access and aren't always restocked.  You can sign up for a Nordstrom Card and immediately be given access to shop early here.   The sale goes public next week on July 19th and prices go up on August 5.

IF YOU LOVE IT, BUY IT!

Nordstrom offers FREE SHIPPING AND FREE RETURNS.  And may I add that the returns are simple and painless.  In the rare case you would have to get in touch with Customer Service - they are a sheer delight to call into and always so friendly and helpful!

Because they offer free returns, during the sale - if you see it, and you like it BUY IT!  This isn't one of those times that you can wait on and come back to in the evening to checkout.  Chances are your cart won't be where you left it because things sell.out.so fast.  Restocks do happen, but its not a guarantee on every item.  Take it from someone who is still kicking herself that I missed a few things last year - the regret is REAL!!

LET'S GET STARTED, SHALL WE?!

I created photo boards of everything broken down into categories to make things simple!  Keep in mind there are a lot of categories I didn't cover like Denim (hello 9 months pregnant), Men, Baby, Baby Gear, etc.  TONS of other departments are included in the sale!

****************************************************************************

Barefoot Dreams are HOT ticket items...they alway sell out super fast and they don't always restock each one.  These make great gifts and this is the only time they are ever on sale!

 Dark Camo Throw | Silk Pillow Duo | Cream Throw | Hooded Bath Towel | Pom Pom Throw | Light Camo Throw | Leopard Cream Throw | Baby Blanket | Stone Throw | Candle Set | 

 Wool Fedora |  | Leopard Belt | 8.0ct CZ Studs | Clare V Crossbody | Blanket Scarf | Rose Gold Studs|  Python Belt | Nude Fedora | 

I ALWAYS stock up on my favorite shampoo and conditioner Set...such a Steal and will last a good amount of time!  The T3 Cura and Curling Irons are AMAZING...definite investments but items you will have that will WORK for years and years to come!

 Alterna Set | Neulash Set | Beauty Blender Set | Exfolikate | T3 Cura | Charlotte Tilbury Set | T3 Curling Iron

    Stars Dress | Camo Dress | Leopard Pullover | Pink Camo Pullover | Grey Joggers | Leggings | Leopard Shorts | Leopard Joggers | Pink Camo Joggers | Leopard Joggers | Grey Joggers | 

I always recommend treating yourself to a Rails flannel...there really isn't anything else quite like it.  I usually size up for a more oversized fit.  They are incredibly soft, wash really well and will carry you through all Fall & Winter and beyond!  I've had mine for a few years and they still look brand spanking new! You can wear them with a front tuck, tie them in a knot in the front, wear them open with a cami underneath or tie around your waist! 

Grey Henley | Charcoal Thermal | Black Scoopneck | Striped Tee | Leopard | Python | Baseball Tee | Leopard w/ Collar Tee | Bodysuit | Cream Flowy Top | Cream Cami | Leopard Cami | Ivory Satin Cami | Camo Pullover | Leopard Pullover | Red Plaid | Black Plaid | Black / White Plaid | Blue Plaid | Black/White Plaid | 

Sweaters are always a best-seller and I know that first one will surely sell out quick.  The colors are so perfect for Fall!  I love my sweaters oversized and slouchy so it will be hard to choose from all of these because there are so.many.great.options!

    Fall Stripe | Camel | Boatneck Pullover | Navy V-Neck | Olive V-Neck | Pink Turtleneck | Lavender | Pink Off-the-Shoulder | Camel Turtleneck | Grey Off-the-Shoulder | Cream Turtleneck | Popcorn | Black Cowl-Neck | Slouchy Grey | Oatmeal V-Neck | Navy | Pink V-Neck | Pink Wrap | Oatmeal Wrap | Cream | Camo | Leopard Knotted | 

Again with Barefoot Dreams!  Their Cardis are one of the most popular NSale items as they also make beautiful gifts.  I usually size up for an oversized cozy fit! I'm loving all the sweater coat options again this year and happy to see this trend still going strong!

Chambray Circle | Grey | Blush Pink | Charcoal | Leopard | Grey | Apricot | Button Down | Leopard | Camel | Cream Waterfall | Grey Waterfall | Grey Coat | Cream Coat | Grey Coat | Cream Sherpa | Red | Black |

I LOVE all of these open Waterfall jackets - they will easily step-up your entire look with little effort!  The long Pink and short Eggplant Teddys will be MINE!

    Denim | Camo Utility | Ivory Leather Waterfall | Olive Waterfall | Suede Moto | Nude Waterfall | Python | Blush Sweatshirt Coat | Pink Faux Fur | Eggplant Faux Fur | Cream Teddy | Wubby Fleece | Camel Teddy | 

Definitely don't hesitate on these leopard mules if you don't already own a pair.  Leopard Mules were SUPER popular last Fall - so much so that no retailer or brand could keep any style in stock.  I bought last year's version during the sale and they were one of my most worn shoe last Fall!  This year I will be trying out the Python trend - as I think its another easy neutral that will pair with just about anything!

    Nude Wedge | Studded Python | Suede Buckle Peep-Toe | Suede Mule | Leopard Mule | Calf Mule | Camel Peep-Toe | Python Mule | Suede Loafer | Suede Slingback | 

I'm thinking the first bootie here will be one of the most popular shoe in the Sale - love the color, point, the cutouts and the block heel! A lot of these styles come in multiple colors and I will definitely be grabbing a black pair as that is one shoe I really missed having in my Fall wardrobe last year!
