NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE 2019 SHOPPING GUIDE

TOP PURCHASES

Spanx liquid leggings
Normally they are $110 and don’t go on sale, but for this limited period they are $64. They are high quality, figure flattering / shaping, thick enough to wear in the winter and they are long- they are not cheap and short like most liquid leggings Ive tried. I bought one pair in the sale last year and bought this two year because I lived in them last year. Get these while you can!

Stuart Weitzman Darla Boots
I have these boots in black and camel, they are incredible quality with a great fit. Stuart Weitzman is my favorite for shoes but these boots are typically so expensive and the black rarely goes on sale but they are included in this one. They typically sell for $795 but are in the sale for less than $500. If you were ever thinking about investing in these, I would absolutely buy them now because you won’t find them lower.

ANIMAL PRINT

I love the leopard sweater and cardigan I found. This sweater is super comfy and the print is just as cute in person. The fabric is not itchy or scratchy at all. It is on the oversized size, so I would downsize. I bought an XS in the sweater and a Small in the cardigan where I typically buy mediums in other brands.

Another cardigan that is sure to sell out is this BP leopard print cardigan. This cardigan came out last year and sold out very quickly, so they’ve brought it back for the sale. 

Another early favorite is this leopard print lace cami from BP. Honestly all of the lace cami’s will go quickly as they’re an easy basic and cost around $25. This is an inexpensive way to get in on the animal print trend if you’re not looking to commit on a more expensive piece! I also love this lace cami if you’re looking for something solid colored.

BEST BASICS

Halogen long sleeves
Great price, great quality basic. I stock up on these to wear all fall + winter long, they are the basis of a lot of my outfits! I bought the long sleeves in black, white and grey and they usually have a great striped option. These tops were on sale for $25!

Alternately, I also love these long sleeves from Caslon, the white one is opaque / not sheer, great for fall outfits and under moto jackets etc and its only $15 in the sale. I have a couple in both solid and stripe. This is a basic at an amazing price that will work in anyone’s closet.

 Free People thermals
These are always a great basic for fall and winter and the price is the best now while it’s in the sale. They’re one of my go to staples that I always restock in my closet.

Barefoot Dreams
These cardigans are more expensive of the cardigans included in the sale, but these are truly the most comfortable and luxurious. I prefer these over even the cashmere options, and I love the way these look. They’re extremely cozy and comfy and you will want to live in them. I can never justify the price when they are not on sale, so I finally splurged with them in the sale.

Long sleeve cardigans
I live in these around the house and in the fall months. A couple of brands have great long sleeve options are Halogen, Barefoot Dreams, and Madewell.

Sweaters
This is always a good time to stock up on sweaters. Free People has some great options in this sale, I love the oversized sweaters and the fall tones. These were both very comfortable and fit super cute!

DENIM

This is my favorite time to splurge on a great pair of jeans that I’ve been holding out on! I’m 5’11, so I tend to go for jeans that fit longer. The majority of the brands offered aren’t long enough on me. I love both Joe’s and Paige in their extra tall jeans, since they’re actually long enough to fit my legs!

COATS / JACKETS

If you were looking to get a new fall / winter coat, now is a great time! I personally didn’t need a ton of new jackets as I’ve already got a great winter coat, but brands like Barbour and The North Face are on sale and those would be great staples to add if you need them. For fall coats, I love these trench coat and more edgy moto style jackets.

SHOES

Usually I walk away with multiple pairs of shoes from the sale. They always have great booties on sale, and one of the biggest items in my opinion included in the sale are the Stuart Weitzman Darla Boots! They also have Uggs on sale and the Ugg boot is great in snow / rain. I also love these pair of Ugg slippers. I lived in last year’s version, so these are all great items to add to your wardrobe in case you also live in a cold place.


ATHLEISURE

The active wear didn’t wow me this year. The one piece I live in that was included in the sale is this Alo pullover. Their moto leggings are a great staple and are also included in the sale. These Alo sweatpants I’ve been wanting to try and have been waiting to see if they would be included in the sale, and they are! I also love these joggers for days where I want to be super comfortable.

BEAUTY

One of the best parts about the sale is that you can get really discounted beauty products that are usually really expensive. I was able to pick up the Living Proof trio I use for my hair at almost 40% off, and some of my favorite lipsticks as well. The curling iron I love is now over $50 off!


BABIES

Kennedy in her Babyzen Yoyo stroller

Ok, so I actually saw two of my most used baby items included in the sale so if you’re a mama you need to check this out. My Nuna Baby Lite car seat is an absolute baby essential IMO because it’s SO much lighter than every other car seat on the market. It also has a zipper shade that pulls out to cover up your baby / keep it dark and cool. I’ve used this SO many times when Kennedy fell asleep to keep her sleeping while I take her in a store etc. and its been a GAME changer! The car seat retails for $500 but is $300 [check] in the sale! If you’re looking for a car seat, don’t hesitate on this one! It also attaches to uppababy strollers with an easy adaptor that can also be purchased through Nordstrom here [I use this combo daily!]

The Babyzen Yoyo stroller is also included in the sale and this is our go to travel stroller. Its insanely compact and easy to fold up while also being incredibly attractive and comfortable for Kennedy. We love this stroller!

A couple fun things I bought for Kennedy last year in the sale that are now available again are these sets from Patagonia and Adidas.
