Hey beauties! The absolute best fashion and beauty event of the entire year is officially here the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! You all know how much I love finding the best deals, but over the years, I’ve learned that the secret to shopping this event successfully is having a clear strategy.
Instead of just buying things randomly, I break my shopping cart down into precise categories, my high-end wishlist items that rarely go on sale, the daily essentials I need to restock, and the classic wardrobe staples that will carry me through the upcoming season.
Grab your favorite drink, open up your Nordstrom app to build your wishlist, and let’s dive into exactly what made the cut for this year’s top picks!
1. Daily Beauty Restock & Top Wishlist Picks
The beauty exclusives section is always the first place I look because the jumbo sizes and bundled sets offer crazy savings on items I use every single day.
Oribe & Olaplex
If you want to know the secret to keeping your hair looking flawless and healthy, it’s these two. They are permanent fixtures in my daily routine. Because they are luxury lines, they rarely go on sale outside of this event, so I am absolutely adding their exclusive anniversary sets to my beauty picks.
The Rare-Sale Wishlist
I’m also using this time to snag those high-end skincare products that I stare at all year waiting for a discount. When the sale drops them, they go straight into my bag as my ultimate wishlist picks.
2. Lingerie & Loungewear | My Top Refresh Picks
If you aren’t shopping the intimate apparel and leisure wear section during the sale, you are missing out on the absolute best deals. Once a year, I like to do a complete audit of my top drawer and workout clothes drawer, purging the old and refreshing with fresh, high-quality picks.
Hanky Panky Underwear
These are hands-down my absolute favorite underwear, and the sale prices are unmatched. I’m restocking their fabulous thong lace panties, the original style. Ladies, if you haven’t tried them yet, now is the absolute best time to snag a few pairs! Before I converted to wearing thong panties, I could not find a pair that I could get used to, so when I owned SheShe Boutique in Montrose, Colorado, I discovered the Hanky Panky brand. The rest is history. Don’t give up……. if you stay with them, then you will adapt.
IF you absolutely cannot or will not wear thong panties, then try this one. I like having style options when choosing the right undergarments for my outfits. Chantelle also makes the most incredible regular, seamless nude panties. They are an absolute dream because they lie perfectly flat and won’t show a panty line under even the slimmest skirts or pants, making them excellent foundational picks.
SheShe’s Pro-Tip ~ To make your Hanky Pankys last forever. Wash in a mesh bag like this one and never throw them in the dryer! I always lay mine completely flat to dry. It keeps the lace perfectly intact and prevents any accidental heat damage.
Chantelle & Natori Bras
Every single year during this sale, I throw away my old, stretched-out bras and refresh with brand-new ones from Chantelle and Natori. The fit and support make them essential picks every time.
Cozy Loungewear & Activewear
It’s also a fantastic time of year to refresh your casual wardrobe. I always, always select new picks from Zella for my workout wear. They have a great fit, hold up beautifully, and are totally true to size. I’m also eyeing a few pieces from Varley, their loungewear is so elevated and chic.
3. Wardrobe Staples | Heavy-Hitting Style Picks
The beauty of the Anniversary Sale is that it marks down brand-new arrivals for the upcoming season before the prices go back up. I always focus on timeless, classic picks.
Premium Denim
Good denim is the backbone of my style. I am adding a couple of new pairs to my collection while the markdown is live.
The Ultimate Leather Jacket
If you’ve been wanting a high-quality leather jacket and leather coat, buy it now. It instantly adds a bit of edge to a dress or elevates a simple T-shirt and jeans look, making it one of my favorite fashion picks of the season.
4. Footwear & Accessories | Fresh Trend Picks
Boots & Booties
My shoe closet is getting a bit of a facelift. I’m skipping the basic styles this year and focusing on introducing a couple of pairs of boots and booties with new shapes, trends, and heel styles to keep my outfits looking modern. These are definitely the standout footwear picks to watch!
Everyday Jewelry
To wrap it all up, let’s talk a little sparkle. I already have a few beautiful stud earrings, but it is always nice to get more! A classic pair of studs goes with literally everything, making it the perfect little luxury to add to your accessory picks before checkout. No one will know if these studs are real diamonds or CZ’s. I dare them to ask you.
5. Home | Cozy & Chic Lifestyle Picks
This is a perfect time to elevate your living space into a cozy sanctuary, and my top home picks are all about bringing that five-star resort feeling into your daily routine. First, this ultra-plush, textured marbled grey faux fur throw blanket adds the ultimate layer of warmth and sophisticated style to any sofa or bed. Next, I’m restocking on these beautiful pink silk pillowcases, which are an absolute beauty routine essential for preventing hair breakage and keeping your skin hydrated overnight. Finally, I’m upgrading my bathroom with this plush, ultra-absorbent neutral cream towel set featuring an elegant herringbone border for that clean, spa-like aesthetic.
Final Thoughts | Shop Smart and Enjoy the Savings!
At the end of the day, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is all about making your budget work harder for the things you already love and use. By focusing on high-quality wardrobe staples, restocking your daily beauty holy grails, and treating your top drawer to a much-needed annual refresh, you can completely elevate your routine without paying full price later.
These items sell out incredibly fast every year, so make sure to add your favorites to your Nordstrom wishlist right away so you can check out the second your shopping window opens!
