The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is back! The three-week sales event starts on July 17 and ends on August 6. Nordstrom credit card holders will get early access to the sale but with a tiered access starting on July 11. Check your account, make sure your Nordstrom card is in your account, for some reason my card seems to disappear every year and I have to reupload it. You’ll also earn Rewards points while you shop, every 2,000 points gets you a $20 Nordstrom Note to use online or in-stores. Cardholders get free alterations to clothes bought at Nordstrom. You can start adding items to your wishlist now so you can quickly add them to your cart when the sale is live because things do sell out fast! They have amazing deals as it's mostly brand new items on sale before they go to regular price. I shop this sale every year because I always find some great deals. This is also a good time to stock up on beauty items that you'll use throughout the whole year. I've combed through the sale to find the best pieces so you don't have to!
Fragrance
Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle is one of my favorite summer perfumes and I describe the scent notes in my summer perfumes post. This set comes with a full sized bottle, a travel sized bottle, a mini bottle and Peony in the mini size with a cosmetic bag. The full sized bottle normally costs $145 and that's how much this whole set costs.
NEST Grapefruit & Bamboo diffuser set. I've had the bamboo one before and it smelled nice and fresh!
Archipelago has five scents available in their diffusers. Big Sur I've had before and the notes are California Cedar, Amber and Musk but it smells like mens' cologne. Let me tell you this lasted a year! I had it by my front door so it was always a nice smell when I got home. I've never had this kind of performance from a diffuser before. I'm going to try Malibu this time which has notes of sea grass, fig and lily. No clue what that smells like but I imagine something beachy. lol
You can also purchase the candle version instead.
Full size 4-piece Diptyque candles. I've had Baies and Figuier but haven't tried the other two/.
Jewelry
I bought these studs a few years ago and they're still my favorite everyday earrings. The earrings come in different sizes but all the pictures look the same, take it from me I had to buy a few and return until I got the perfect size at 3ct.
They have some beautiful Lele Sadoughi Crystal Lily earrings in blue and pink. Considering how pricey these are, it's a steal that they're on a sale! They look stunning on your ears! I own a pair in purple that I bought a few years ago.
Hats and Belts
If you read my hat post, then you know that Brixton is one of my favorite hat brands. Here they have both a wool hat and a straw hat. I saw the straw hat in person, it's really stiff and the fabric is beautiful but it has a low crown. I think it's great quality!
Rag & Bone has this beautiful chocolate wool hat.
Luggage
I've been wanting to get a Dagne Dover bag to travel with, but this isn't the right color for me. I posted my favorite color in my The Best Travel Essentials for Your Next Trip post.
The Beis Carry On Roller with four 360-degree swiveling wheels in a pretty slate blue color and the Weekend Duffle Bag that has a trolly pouch that you can slip over your luggage and has a separate bottom pocket you can put your shoes in. Having a non-black bag makes your bag stick out on the airport baggage carousel. My pink suitcase does not get dirty but I do wipe it down with a lysol wipe after every trip. I think a colored suitcase is so much more stylish than boring black that everyone else has.
Sunglasses
My favorite brand for sunglasses are Quay and they have two that are really pretty. rose gold aviator and polarized. I love both of these, I can't decide!
Aren't these designer Celine chunky tortoise sunglasses so chic!
Sneakers
Leather sneakers with a silver metallic accent in the back.
AllSaints Metallic Sneaker with a leather lining and branded rubber cupsole. I love a metallic sneaker moment! Metallics are a neutral color and go with everything.
70s-throwback running shoe reissued as a mold-breaking street sneaker .Suede overlays and N-emblazoned nylon canvas.
These 327 New Balance have an updated angular aerodynamic wedge sole and modern street appeal. I think I'm going for these! It gives a sporty yet put-together work fit. New Balance are very on trend this year and I've never had a pair before. They sold out really fast!
And most importantly a sneaker cleaning kit for those white shoes!
Beauty
Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment Liquid lipstick Duo for $38, a $60 value. You get the colors Slow Ride and American Woman. Slow ride is a burnt orangy brown and was on my wishlist as I've tried it on at Sephora. I already own this product in Starwoman which it's a beautiful matte red so I love this formula.
I have been using this product for years. I've done a lot of research on it and experts say its one of the best Vitamin C serums on the market. This is a waterless formula, so its a little heavy and sticky, and can't be worn under makeup. But it has a high level of true ascorbic acid in the active form and prevents the breakdown of the product when it's sitting on your counter. When looking at the price note that this is 3.4 fl oz which is a lot more product when most other Vitamin C serums which are only 1oz. This bottle will last you a year for $87.
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder and brush for $74, if you bought them separately it would be $114. All the beauty experts say this is one of the best setting powders since it's so finely milled and won't set into your under eyes. I've been waiting for a sale to buy this since it's so expensive. And I've also wanted the brush since it's so fluffy.
Only one of the best setting sprays.
L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil Duo
Two 10oz SPF 50 body gels that goes on clear and is infused with Kopari's sweet coconut milk scent. It gives your skin a glow from the macadamia oil, hibiscus oil, vitamin E, avocado and coconut oils, and the gold shimmer mica adds a subtle glow. I have this in the rose gold color and it makes my tan skin look so pretty. It is an oil by the way, and you should not put it on the underside of your arms because you will then see it on any wooden table you put your arms on. Sunscreen does expire in one year and I've hardly made a dent in my bottle so I would recommend gifting the second bottle in this duo to a friend.
Shower
It's formulated with humectants such as aloe vera, peptides and castor oil to help skin maintain its moisture. The ingredients do list sulfates so it has a low lather and smells amazing! You're getting a 33.8 oz. refill for $37.50 which is a steal! You can pour it into any container.
L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil Duo
This is more of a splurge for $49 for 33.8oz combined but it smelled heavenly! It's super moisturizing!
Home
This is not part of the sale but I had to share. Four weighted pods with machine washable microbeads. Contours to your face for total-light blocking comfort. Lay freely over your eyes or secure with their pull-through slit. One side cooling jersey cotton, other side warm microfiber. Can be put in the freezer for a cooling affect and stays soft and flexible afterwards. I don't like to wear sleep masks because I find them too tight around my head and slightly claustrophobic. Even though I have blinds and curtains, the morning sun beams right into my bedroom and wakes me up earlier than I want to get up. So I keep the nodpod in my bed and when the sun starts to wake me up I put this over my head, its weighted blanket feel puts me back to sleep.
