It’s finally here! Next to Amazon Prime Day, Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is arguably one of the biggest sales of the summer. Guys, this is the time to grab massive savings on clothes, shoes, accessories, home goods and beauty products, including those from luxury brands. The offers are so good, in fact, they tend to sell out within minutes — meaning you may miss out if you’re not on top of your favorite items. To help you avoid this devastating scenario, I’m uncovering everything you need to know about the upcoming blowout with a preview of what’s to come. Who else is as excited as I am?!?!?!

What can I do to prepare for the sale?
- Mark your calendar for July 12th at 12:30 pm EST!
- Purge and Make a List The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a great time to buy basics like denim, booties & boots, tees, and sweaters, etc. Knowing what you have and what you need is a great way to prepare for the sale. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of merch Nordstrom will have available, so having a list of needs (or wants) is helpful.
- Peruse the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Catalog and highlight items you want to get your hands on. A lot of popular pieces will go quickly so making a list or priority items is key. I did this last year and it made the process much easier.
- Make sure to stop by All About a Style often for updates and tabs prepared with my personal sale favorites and purchases. I will be posting often!
- Follow me on the LiketoKnow.it app as I will be posting some app only content and it’s a super easy way to shop my sale outfits!
- If you don’t want another app on your phone, that’s okay! You can always find my outfits on my Instagram Outfits page here on the blog.
How and where do I shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale:
- You can shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale both in stores and online, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND shopping online for better stock and a more comfortable experience. OR if you have a store near you, you can select in-store pick up. That means you order online but can get your items same or next day! And some stores even offer curbside pickup – how easy is that?!
- You don’t need any kind of promo code to shop. If you have Early Access, you’ll log in to your account and automatically be able to shop the sale. If you’re not a cardholder, you’ll be able to see the items but won’t be able to purchase until the 19th.
- You can easily add items to your wishlist on Nordstrom.com so they will all be there when the time comes to check out on July 19th when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale officially begins! I will be posting sale content starting the 12th so feel free to add my favorites and purchases to your own personal list.
