The 411 on Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021

Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is THE biggest sale of the year and it’s quickly approaching! First off, lets get those important dates:

- I need to quickly touch base that Early Access Dates July 12th -27th to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is for Nordstrom Debit/Credit Card members ONLY. This gives Card Members the opportunity to shop the sale before the General Public. Opening a card isn't hard. You can do it online, over the phone or in-store. There's also other amazing perks with a Nordstrom Card. If you're considering a new card I highly recommend - its the ONLY Credit Card I use.

So here’s the 411, Previous Nordstrom Anniversary Sales have been a jaw dropper. From Tory Burch tote bags, T3 Micro blow dryers, Vince Camuto knee high leather boots, BeautyBio GloPro kits and many Elite High-End brands (Burberry, Chloe, Michele Watches, and more). Then of course many well known + the in-house Nordstrom brands like BP., Leith, Moonlight, TopShop, Madewell, Barefoot Dreams, etc.

The sale is popular for featuring all the new Autumn/Winter merchandise at amazing discounted prices for a short period of time. AKA: you'll get to purchase the new trends before it hits the shelves.

Visit the website to get the full calendar, sneak peek on what to expect on the racks, and special “Virtual & In-Store Event" dates that the stores are hosting during this amazing sale!

FAQ SECTION:

FAQ: If you're not a card member but visit the store, find something you love, will they hold the item till Public Access?

NO. The items are first come. If you see something that's at an amazing price the sales associate will mention you can open a Nordstrom Card and if accepted on the spot (and it’s the tier status for you to shop) - you'll be able to purchase.  

FAQ: Do they do restock?

No one is for sure. Last year as items were being returned, they were quickly restocked. The sizes in items they predict will be popular typically have larger quantities available and some items it will be a very limited size run. 

FAQ: Am I able to return these items to store?

Yes, In store purchases can be returned In-Store or at an NordstromRack. 

Online purchases & App purchases can be returned for FREE online OR In-store at a Nordstrom or NordstromRack location. 

Keep the receipt so you can get a full refund.

FAQ: I have a card, can I redeem my Nordstrom Notes towards the purchase I make?

YES! This is one of the best parts about the sale! You can use your Nordstrom Notes toward your purchases. You can also use your Double Points Day when purchasing during the sale (so collect extra points for faster Notes!) I'm a few points away from another Nordstrom Note and Level upgrade so I'm definitely taking part in this opportunity too.

FAQ: Will you be attending any of the Special CardMember Events in store?

At the moment, no. The part of Florida I live at there’s no local Nordstrom location; I can only purchase online. The nearest store for me is 6 hours away. I will be shopping Influencer Early Access and I will have my 'top picks' post asap! For 2021 they’ll be hosting some Virtual Events which I hope to sign up for and participate in. 

I WILL be visiting The Streets at Southpoint Nordstrom on July 6 to see if there’s any in-store previews. 

FAQ: What type of Sales Coverage will you be doing during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

Since I’ll be unable to attend and shop via In-Store I’ll be creating content like this pictured below for the Anniversary Sale. I’ll also link the items to my LTK page. From time to time - I’ll repost the content to my social media platforms (IG, LTK, Facebook, Twitter, and here on my Blog) with affiliate links you can click and directly shop the entire Nordstrom website! 

Of course with LTK I’ll make a small commission at NO additional cost to you - this will be my way of scouting out the most trending and popular Autumn/Winter fashions the Anniversary Sale has to offer and I’ll do this for Restocks, My Picks, Daily Deals and more! 

* Shopping the Nordstrom App will NOT work with my LTK links. I’ll only make commission on my affiliate links via shopping the LTK app, or through desktop via the linktree located in my IG Bio OR on my Blog!*

FAQ: Where's the catalog to view some of the items?

Here. You can see some of the brands and trends. But remember the catalog is just a sample! 

FAQ: Where can I apply for the credit/debit card?

Here. You can apply here and be approved on the spot!

FAQ: How often will you be checking the Nordstrom Sale? And how is the best way to have up-to-date information on the sale?

Below is examples from LAST YEAR of what I’ll publish during the Anniversary Sale here on my Blog, LTK, and IG page. Of course, you can shop via the links on my LTK page and affiliate links I’ll provide here on my Blog too during the Anniversary sale! 

More Tips:

1. Create a Wish List. I normally create mine in the Notes section of my phone and laptop so when I’m looking at the Nordstrom Sale Preview I can highlight what brands and items I like. This also helps me budget for the event. Below is an example of what my Wish List is for this year. 

Wish List:

- Jewelry (statement earrings or Necklace).

- Lucky Brand shoes (My Lucky Brand boots are my most favorite).

- Autumn Floral Dresses.

- High Waisted Pants (Leith or Madewell).

- Longchamp or Tory Burch handbag.

- Beauty brands: Charlotte Tilbury, Mario Badescu, BeautyBio, La Mer, Paula’s Choice, and St Tropez.

- Hair styling Blow Dryer.

- Home decor (new bedding, unique kitchen gadgets).

2. Scope out the Nordstrom store and see what sizing you are in the brands. I typically try on a few brands in pants, dresses, workout gear and the shoes (Vince Camuto, Steve Madden, Sam Edelman, Adidas, Nike, and Tory Burch). I jot all the sizes down in my phone or notebook so I’ll know what to grab up when shopping the event! I personally feel Nordstroms sizing chart is spot on but I have experienced some shoes in different brands fit bigger or smaller. Also, I'm NO WHERE near a Nordstrom store. I do all my purchases online so typically, I'm shopping brands I'm accustomed to. 

3. Don’t forget to set up and stick to a budget on how much you wish to spend. The biggest takeaway is this is just “stuff” and no one should be maxing out credit cards for trendy fashion pieces. I simply cover the Anniversary sale because I love amazing deals, beautiful fashion, and I simply enjoy doing what I do. 

4. Many take this opportunity to stock up on Holiday gifts. It’s such a perfect time to grab up gifts if you’re already shopping for the holiday or have a budget in mind on gifting. For me, I always grab up extra beauty items and simple stocking stuffer type items to stock pile for last minute gifts. 

My question to everyone: Are you shopping the sale? Anything in particular you hope to find? How many boxes do you plan to hide from your husband?

Abercrombie & Fitch Haul

As many know, I love Abercrombie. Not because I spent a decade working for the brand; but I truly enjoy the quality, style, and diversity this brand has. Spending so much of my live involved with the company I saw some amazing growth and changes that I feel shows the brand can handle changing target markets in a mature and respectful manner.
Recently the store was doing 50% off on pratically their entire summer collection well - except 5 pieces I REALLY REALLY wanted. But today I will show you the items I did purchase and give a honest review on. * There actually is some items I didn't like!*

Continue reading to hear about my Abercrombie Purchases!

Strappy Slide Sandals $38

These shoes are super trendy for summer. They come in 4 colors (I want the white so so badly!). These are a defintele must but to warn everyone to try them on before purchase (or online order your regular size and the next size up) I noticed the bands are really tight on my feet; I'm a 7.5 but the size 8/9 fit me more comfortably. 

Pleated Denim Shorts $58

These shorts I have a love hate relationship with. I purchased them LOVING THEM. But after wearing them 2x I noticed the pleated front detailing makes my stomach area look big (which isn't good for someone who is already uncomfotable with their belly area.) These are highwaisted too which I wasn't expecting. I would return if I didnt remove the tags. Do I recommend? Eh, I would try them on and really think about the style before purchasing. *Had to go up 1 whole size too!!!!*

Low Rise Shorts $58

I ended up returning these online exculsive shorts because the sizing was off, I needed a size larger. *The shorts are sized odd this year*. I plan to reorder these because the look is really nice overal. 

White Drapy Top $18

I really really love this top. I plan to purcahse more and all the colors. The fabric is super soft and the draping detail is perfect to wear with jeans or tucked into highwaisted bottoms! 

Low Rise Clearance Jeans $19

These might be the softest jeans I own. Even after washing these jeans are still super soft. I love the ankle detail and these fit true to size! Definitely recommend shopping their jean collection the next time you want a good soft pair of denim!

Drapey Trench Jacket Clearance $90

This jacket I purchased last year in a mint green color and I wear it all the time time. Perfect for spring and summer looks at nighttime. This blush pink would be darling with a white dress or even white denim!

Tote $40

I'm amazed at how light, easy, and trendy this tote is. It holds so much items and doesnt loose its shape! Defintely a must for your summer collection (and perfect for poolside!)

This was my recent Abercrombie & Fitch Haul! I hope you enjoyed this post. If you're interested in getting some outfits on a promotion similar to mine sign up for Abercrombies emails! Also check the Abercrombie APP or go online to see what online exculsive sales they're hosting.

LUSH HAUL - Using my Own Tips!!!

Good Morning everyone!
The other day I took a trip to LUSH Cosmetics and used my own tips to grab up a few items. Below you'll see all I purchased! (FYI - I purchased all of this for only $100!)
In total, I got 12 bath and bubble bars, 2 samples, and an 8oz bottle of shower gel (not pictured because my Husband is already using it!) all for under $100!

The gift set "Orbital" was a great deal! It was actually cheaper buying this gift set instead of purchasing each one separately. I did get a few bath bombs I've never tried before and so far I love them! (this was one of my tips).
I also got 2 samples! (one of my tips again!) The soap bar is a good size that I can use multiple times. And the small black jar has a shower scrub that will be at least 2 uses!
I also purchased some holiday items which were limited edition and there was a buy one get one free promo! (another great tip!).

As you can see some of these tips really did pay off! I had an amazing experience shopping the store!
