Best of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: My Picks

What I'll be buying from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! The best items from beauty, makeup, shoes, clothes and more!

Every summer the internet goes crazy for the Nordstrom sale, but it can be huge and overwhelming! The sale is open this morning for card holders early access, the full sale opens on the 20th. Note a lot of the best items really will sell out in the presale, and even in the first day or two! If your favorite items sell out check back, sometimes they will come back in stock.

Each year I do spend quite a bit during this sale. I buy boots for the winter, usually a black pair that come up to the knees. I like Tory Burch, her boots last me 2 years despite a lot of abuse in the Michigan winter! I’ll probably be buying this year’s Marsden boots. I also buy AG Jeans and a few new tops for fall.

My Nordstrom Sale Beauty picks are a much longer list! I always, always, always buy the Bobbi Brown palette. I like to stock up on Revitalash (I currently layer it with R+F Lash Boost), and any of your favorite skincare or haircare products that will be included in the sale (I’ll be buying more Kate Somerville Exfolikate Cleanser).

    Will you do a review on the Bobbi Brown palette? I have one on my wish list but don’t have early access. If they are still available I will nab one as this would be great for travel.
