How to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale like a pro!
If I told you this is the 29th Nordstrom Anniversary Sale since I first started working there, you might wonder how old I am 😂 Needless to say, after all these years, I kinda know what I’m doing (wink). Consider me your trusted source for how to navigate the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and get the best of the fall season — highly edited, on trend, and super stylish — before it’s all gone! (Pro tips below.)
Right now everyone (in my world anyway) is talking about the sale: clients, friends, my Nordstrom6 girl gang, and countless other bloggers and stylists. It’s an exciting time, but there a few things I’ve learned over the years, including this all-important tip: make careful and thoughtful purchases! In other words, don’t buy things just because they’re on sale. Because this is an extra busy time at Nordstrom, there are brand new, regular priced items and collections that arrive, and believe it or not, the good pieces fly out the door! Keep reading to see more tips you’ll find useful for navigating the sale.
But first … why is this sale such a big deal? Because it’s brand new fall merchandise, offered at a discount before the season even starts, and it gets marked back up in August. This is the best of fall, and I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to show you my favorites and give you the best recommendations possible. Check it out!

Susie’s wish list
Every year, try and stock up on a few things like fitness basics, beauty exclusives and loungewear items. Then look for a couple of special pieces you know will work with all the essentials you already own. Check out this new style board I made to show you my personal picks!

Here are my best tips on shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Tip 1: Buy online! So much more efficient this way — avoid the crowds and get it fast. Plus, items may not be available in store.
Tip 2: Focus on the hot items that are going to sell out quickly! In my next post on Monday, I’ll reveal the most popular brands and the items that sell out the fastest.
Tip 3: Consider paying $12 extra for two-day shipping. This bumps your order up in the queue and increases your chances of getting what you want!
Tip 4: Stock up on basics! Get your denim, leather jackets, shoes and booties, and makeup now.
Tip 5: Schedule a Personal Double Points Day. Earn 2x the points towards Nordstrom notes –- you’ll be glad you did!
