The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Event: The Best Sale Picks

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! Each year, Nordstrom throws an awesome anniversary party in the form of a huge sale. You’ve likely seen something about this already on Instagram; it’s pretty popular. This annual sale has become quite the phenomenon over the last few years, with deals on a ton of great items throughout the store. Here, I’m sharing the details of when the sale starts, how to shop the sale, and top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale’s women’s style, beauty, and accessories deals:

Prices, availability, and my own picks change year to year, so if you’re shopping the sale right now, head over to my current ShopMy collection instead — I’m updating it throughout the sale with new finds as I spot them.

When Is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

The date when you can start shopping the sale is determined by your Nordstrom cardholder status. This is, in turn, based on the amount you purchase from the store annually (or whether you have a credit card with them). This year, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale officially kicks off July 9, with early access for Icon members. You can see what level you qualify for by clicking “The Nordy Club” in your Nordstrom account. If you’re not a cardholder or Icon level shopper, the sale is officially open to everyone starting July 15. It runs through August 4. 

Access dates based on Nordy Club level are as follows:

  • Icon Early Access: July 9-14
  • Ambassador Early Access: July 10-14
  • Influencer Early Access: July 11-14
  • Sale Opens to Everyone: July 15-August 4

Top Picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Style Picks

This year, my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale style picks range from athleisure to dressy, with the majority of my favorite finds in the elevated casual category.

There are plenty of great staples to stock up on this year, like these comfy tees or Hanky Panky’s ever-popular thongs. Similarly, if you are looking to turn over your shoe collection, there are a number of great styles available in the sale, like these Birkenstock classics.

Style Finds Under $100

Beauty

As far as beauty goes, there are a bunch of great makeup sets coming available in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year. There are lots of great beauty finds to choose from, including this handy facial massage device.

Beyond these great sets, though, I am drawn to some more practical skincare options, like this L’Occitane hand cream bundle.

Shoes, Purses, & Accessories

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale selection for accessories range the seasons, with lots of boots and athletic shoes coming available once the sale kicks off. As a Floridian, I am most drawn to the sandals and shorter heels this year, including these cute Birkenstock sandals and these block heel sandals.

As far as purses go, there is a good mix of practical options, like this classic Longchamp option or this Coach bag, and fun styles, like this pretty clutch.

Lastly, there were a handful of jewelry finds that caught my eye, but none more so than these gorgeous pave hoops.
