My Favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks
Cloud 6 Sneaker – On
I always have some sort of athletic shoe on my Nordstrom Sale list each year! Nordstrom always has such a great discount on athletic shoes that it’s really a no-brainer. I grabbed the On Cloud 6 sneaker last year at the sale and it’s become my top walking/workout shoe. On shoes are so comfortable, and it really does feel like you’re walking on a cloud. Love this light color!
Lela Perforated Mary Jane Flat – Steve Madden
You all know I LOVE a Mary Jane! I also love that the sale gives us great new Steve Madden shoes each year at a great price. I’ve had my eye on this style for awhile now, and I’m so excited they’re part of the sale. These shoes are perfect for the summer-to-fall transition since they’re closed toe but have some ventilation!
Define Block Heel Bootie – Steve Madden
Another cute Steve Madden find! Krista bought these last year at the sale, and I’ve been kicking myself ever since that I didn’t grab them too! Now’s my chance lol. The suede fabric is perfect for fall, and we love styling these with some wide-leg dark blue denim and a cute top. I’ve shown the cognac color here, but I think I might go for the chocolate brown!
Willa Earrings – Joiana Jewelry
I have been really wanting some new everyday earrings that AREN’T chunky hoops! These are a bit different and even give me a vintage vibe! Plus, they come at a great price and are neutral enough to wear with anything.
Eye Enhancer Eyeliner & Eyeshadow Palette Gift Set – Bobbi Brown
The sale is also really great for beauty finds! I am looking for a new eyeshadow palette, and this one has the perfect neutral colors. I purchased a Bobbi Brown palette at the sale a couple years ago and it’s been hands-down my favorite. Bobbi Brown never disappoints!
The Shopper Tote in Soft Grain Suede – Madewell
Madewell bags deserve more attention! We always have them in our outfit collages, and they do super well! This suede one is super pretty and may be my go-to winter bag this year! I also love that there’s no visible branding on it. It’s truly a timeless bag and the rich chocolate suede is gorgeous. I also love that you can leave the side out or tuck them in for two different looks.
Lana High Waist Wide Leg Jeans – Pistola
Ok, TBH, I already own these! I threw them in because they are my FAVORITE jeans ever! Love the wide leg, the wash, the hem at the bottom…everything about them! A must-have if you’re shopping for jeans during the sale. These jeans look great on every body, I swear!
Assorted 3-Pack Preppy Crew Socks – Polo Ralph Lauren
These are just cute…what can I say? The preppy look is on-trend for fall and I’m excited to pair these with a jeans and a pair of classic loafers. I’m visualizing a bit of sock peeking out and topping my outfit off with a cool barn coat. Nothing like the Nordstrom sale to get me excited for fall outfits!
Torres Turtleneck Sweater – Free People
In previous years we’ve been all about sweaters for the Nordstrom Sale. This year we’re loving more shoes and jackets, but this sweater is high on my list! Free People has some of the best oversized, comfy sweaters, and the sale is the perfect time to snag one! Love this mossy green color.
Patch Pocket Suede Jacket – NVLT
This jacket is so chic!! Love the length of it and the suede fabric, of course. I’ve been wanting a jacket like this for so long and I know it’s a style I’d wear a ton for fall/winter/spring! It would be so cute with jeans or dressed up!
Suede Bubble Jacket – Bernardo
Another cute jacket! This was actually sent to me, so I’ve already tried it on and I’m totally in love with it! This style with the high neck detail is the “it” jacket to have this fall! I would totally recommend it if you’re looking for a cute fall jacket at a great price during the Nordstrom Sale!
Cotton Denim Jacket – H&M
For my last jacket pick, I had to go with this cute and super affordable jacket from H&M! You know we love a leopard print, and it’s even better in the fall and winter! It will add so much style to a simple outfit or even look so cute with a dress or skirt!
I hope these picks help get you started on your Nordstrom Sale wishlist! Let us know which item is your favorite in the comments, and stay tuned as we continue covering all the best finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale over the next few weeks!
Xoxo,
