It’s that time of year again! Get ready for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020. This is the biggest sale from Nordstrom all year where they have lots of new releases and exclusives just for the sale. They also have some of their classic pieces on sale. I went through their entire sale offerings and picked out the things I think are best based on price, quality and functionality. I broke these up into three categories depending on what you’re interested in.

The clothes options I selected are a mix of classic and new exclusives. The Zella Live in High Waisted Leggings are one of my favorite kinds of leggings for lounging. I’ve shared about them before many times and they always get discounted for the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. The other pieces I selected are good transitional pieces from summer to fall and higher quality items. I love the silk cami because it’s such a versatile piece. See a recent post styling a silk cami HERE. The tan sweater I chose is 100% cashmere and I have another sweater from this line and it is very thick and high quality!

I got most excited about the shoe section this year because they had a specific style I’ve been looking for, for a while! My favorite piece from this year’s offerings are the white booties. I’ve been looking for a pair just like this and they are well priced. The heel is not too high, so that is definitely something I will be ordering. I already own the Hunter quilted short boots in this exact style and love them which is why I am recommending them. The shorter version of hunter boots works best for me since I have very thin calves and the quilted adds a unique touch. White sneakers are a wardrobe staple for me and I love that this pair is simple and clean looking. Another one of my favorites from this selection are the riding boots. They come is so many different size variations, including, regular and wide calf and regular and wide width. Riding boots are great to wear to work in the winter because they aren’t as bulky yet still look professional.

I haven’t really purchased any home items from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale in the past but when I went through the selection I saw so many cut home and gift ideas. I recently discovered the Voluspa Candles and was pleasantly surprised to see them included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020. I already tried the Laguna scent from them but all the other scents they have are so good! The pink thing is a hair wrap to help dry your hair after the shower. This one is 100% cotton and it is great if you have long hair like me. So many people recommended the barefoot dreams blanket and I saw that this year they have this really pretty grey and white one. These blankets are super soft and with he fall and winter approaching, they are perfect for snuggling on the couch. I’m super picky about bed sheets and these fit all the criteria! They are 100% organic cotton and have a high thread count. It’s so much easier to buy your sheets in a set and it’s a really good price for the quality. Finally for my coffee lovers out there, these espresso beans sound delicious and are used in their cafes.

Tips for Shopping the Anniversary Sale

There’s a few tips to ensure you’re able to get what you want from the sale. Things are known to sell out quickly so it’s best to be prepared. Depending on your annual spend with Nordstrom, you will be able to start shopping earlier or later. To find out when your day is, sign into your account and then go to an anniversary sale item page and it will tell you the date. Secondly, look through the selection or if you’re interested in some items I mentioned here, add them to your wishlist so they will be saved and ready to shop when your day comes. Those are the main tips that have helped me over the years.

Even if your’e not shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020, It’s always fun to browse and get ideas for later. I hope this guide is helpful to you and your’e able to snag some goodies for yourself. Let me know what your favorites are from the selection in the comments below.

The Shopbop sale that happens annually is a great way to take advantage of getting some new pieces for spring at some amazing prices. They carry higher end brands that usually don’t go on sale often so I definitely use this opportunity to get the things I’ve had on my wish list for a while.

The sale is: 20% off orders under $500 or 25% off orders over $500

It ends on 4/12/2019

In the photo above I’ve tagged some of my favorite products that I already own as well as some that I ordered. Keep reading to see how I styled some of the pieces above.
