Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018: Sneak Peek

Early Access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is just two days away! You know how most sales happen at the end of a season, so while you can score some great deals you can generally only wear the items for a short time before the weather changes? The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale features brand new items for fall that are marked down for a limited time before the season even starts!

I’ve included some of my favorite items from the sale in the collage above. I’ve also included links to all of the items, but as a reminder, the items won’t be available to shop until the sale goes live. If you click on the links, the items will show that they’re sold out but they will be updated on Thursday.

Tips & Tricks

• Make a list of items you’re hoping to purchase during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It’s such a big sale that it can be a little overwhelming if you don’t plan ahead! It also helps me stick to my budget so I don’t pick up items that I don’t really need. I generally like to stock up on lots of fall basics like denim, sweaters & cardigans, and boots/booties. I’ll be stocking up on fall clothing and shoes for Scottie this year as well! You can get a preview of some of the items that will be on sale in the catalog.
• The most popular items tend to sell out extremely fast (like within the first 24 hours), so I’d recommend purchasing your favorite items on the first day. Nordstrom does re-stock a lot of the items but they sell out even more quickly during the re-stock because so many people are waiting for the item at that point. I’ll be sure to post the items that I think will sell out quickly in my post on Thursday.
• Nordstrom offers in-store pick, so you can buy items online and pick them up that same day instead of having to wait for them to be delivered. I totally take advantage of this now that my hands are full with a toddler and I often don’t have time to go in store to try things on.
• Take advantage of Nordstrom’s free shipping and returns by shopping online in the comfort of your own home.
