The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts tomorrow if you are an Icon cardholder and then it’s open to the public 7/18, this Saturday! I went through I don’t know how many SKUs and found all of my favorite pieces from the sale. I will say this year the sale seems a bit cooler, a bit more curated than I’ve noticed in the past few years. They have some new brands to the sale like Varely, Vuori, Reformation, Staud, etc. So that’s exciting. And they’ve brought in a lot of popular denim styles, like the Paige Anessa. So if you are looking for denim this fall, there are some really good finds.
I’ve broken down my favorites into two sections in each categories: The Essentials and the Non Essentials. The Essentials being the building blocks of your closet and the Non Essentials are the more fun pieces, if you are wanting to add some fun into your wardrobe! (Or if you follow my substack the non essentials would be considered the Unicorns and the Essentials would be considered the Usuals!)
I embedded a little guide into Canva so you can flip through below and you can click on each image to go directly to the product! Or if you run into trouble, I’ll have the text links below as well.
Here is the sale here! My guide is below! If you hover over the bottom of the graphic, the menu to go to the next page will appear! There are 14 pages for you to look through.

Denim
If I had to pick one pair of denim, it would probably be the Paige Anessa High Waist Wide Leg Jeans. But I have a good feeling that these will sell out this week, so in case they do I’d go with this Reformation Wide Leg.

Non Essentials | PAIGE ANESSA HIGH WAIST WIDE LEG | LEVI’S RIBCAGE HIGH WAIST STRAIGHT LEG |COS PATCH-POCKET STRAIGHT-LEG JEANS | MADEWELL AIRY DRAWSTRING WIDE LEG
Tops & Sweaters
If I had to pick one top to buy, I’d either go with this Nordstrom Made Short Sleeve Cashmere Sweater or this Cos Merino Wool T-Shirt. Same vibes, different prices.

Dresses
Picking one dress is tough! But if I had to go with just one, I think I’d pick this flared denim mini dress. It’s an easy silhouette, it’s a new look and it can go from spring to fall with the change of shoes.

Outerwear
If I had to pick one piece of outerwear, I actually think I’d go for this Favorite Daughter Denim Jacket or this Bernardo Checked Trench Coat! In other words, don’t make me pick 😉

Shoes
If I had to pick one pair (which is totally unfair), I’d go with this leather mule. I love a simple shoe for fall and love this price point!

Trying to pick one accessory is hard for me. So I’m just going to leave this list here, although I love a Jenny Bird piece so maybe these pair of earrings!
The Essentials | COACH ELLIOT MESH STRAP WATCH, 28MM | JENNY BIRD MINI ICON HOOP EARRINGS | MADEWELL SET OF 2 COIN PENDANT NECKLACES | JENNY BIRD MINI PAIGE PUFF EARRINGS | ANA LUISA DOME RING

Lounge & Pajamas
I have to say, this Cuup bra is my absolute favorite! I have it and it’s an underwire but not a push up and it’s comfortable all day long.
The Essentials | NORDSTROM PAJAMA SET | BAREFOOT DREAMS SCALLOPED ROBE | WACOAL FEELING FLEXIBLE BRIEFS | OPEN EDIT COMFY JERSEY PAJAMAS | CUUP BRALETTE
Non Essentials | BLISSY MULBERRY SILK ROBE | NORDSTROM CASHMERE LOUNGE SET | BOMBAS ANKLE SOCKS | BAREFOOT DREAMS RIBBED PULLOVER SET

If I had to buy one thing, it would probably be this set of two silk pillowcases! Both for under $100 is a steal!
The Essentials | PURA FRAGRANCE DIFFUSER SET | NORDSTROM SET OF 2 SILK PILLOWCASES | PARACHUTE QUILTED ORGANIC COTTON COMFORTER | OUR PLACE LARGE WONDER OVEN PRO | OUR PLACE 4 PIECE COOKWARE SET
