Nordstrom Anniversary Sale And $1500 Giveaway

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is live!!! This really is the best time of the year to get new arrivals and styles on major discount. If you have a Nordstrom Card, you can shop the sale now – if you don’t, it opens to the public and I’ll be sharing more then as well, but below are some of my favorites that I think will sell out fast! All links and details will be listed below each picture.

distressed denim

nordstrom anniversary sale

With traveling so much I’m always on the hunt for new duffel bags and love all of the pockets on this one.

pink duffel bag

DETAILS: WHITE CAMISOLE (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE XS) | PINK CARDIGAN (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 4) | DISTRESSED BOYFRIEND JEANS (UNDER $70 – ALSO LOVE THIS PAIR UNDER $100) | WHITE SNEAKERS (UNDER $150 – WEARING SIZE 8) | DUFFEL BAG (UNDER $55) | PINK SUITCASE

Ok, I wanted to walk out the door and head straight to the airport in this look! Love every piece. My favorite buy from the Nordstrom sale last year was my lace cami that I got in every color – I’ve worn them with everything and it was probably my most asked about item during last year’s sale. It sold out in minutes when I posed it last year so buy it before it sells out again!! Feminine camis are a closet staple and this one is a major steal! You can wear them layered with a pretty bralette or under a comfy cardigan (love this one!) or blazer to make it office-appropriate. Also obsessed with the distressing on these jeans (under $70) and with these sneakers! I think they are my new favorite.

midi coat

DETAILS: MIDI COAT (UNDER $60 – WEARING SIZE XXS – ALSO COMES IN THE PRETTIEST BLUE!) | GREY BODYSUIT (WEARING SIZE S) | DISTRESSED DENIM (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 25) |  NAVY SLIDES (WEARING SIZE 8)

This is the best time of year to stock up on fall staples, especially outerwear which is usually at a higher price point than other categories. This midi coat was one of my favorite outerwear pieces from the sale! It’s a gorgeous neutral and it’s really lightweight so it’s a great transition piece between seasons. Also love this grey bodysuit – how pretty is the twist detail?

red jumpsuit

DETAILS: RED TIE JUMPSUIT (UNDER $60 – WEARING SIZE XXS – ALSO COMES IN BLACK) | TAN SANDALS (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 8)

I have been on a huge jumpsuit spree lately. They are one-and-done so it’s always an effortless outfit option and always so comfortable! Love the tie detail on this one to dress it up a little for date night or also a great alternative to a dress if you have any upcoming weddings you’re attending! You can pair it with sandals (these are under $100) to keep it somewhat casual or go with a pretty pump for something more polished.

waterfall cardi

heather grey jacket

hello fashion blog

DETAILS: GREY WATERFALL COAT (WEARING SIZE XS) | JEANS (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 25) | BODYSUIT (UNDER $40 – WEARING SIZE SMALL) | NUDE BOOTIES (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 8)

I’ve always loved the waterfall cardigans and love it even more in coat form! This one is lined but still really lightweight so you can layer is and transition it all season – and it’s the prettiest heather grey in person! Also dying over these nude boots!

pink phone case

vans

DETAILS: BLUSH PULLOVER SWEATSHIRT (UNDER $35 – WEARING SIZE 8 – COMES IN 3 COLORS) | DENIM (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 25) | PINK PHONE CASE | SNEAKERS (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 8)

All things pink! Honestly, I would probably buy any of these pieces at full price, so it makes it that much better that they are on sale! I live in sweatshirts (even year round – they are the comfiest layer.)  Also obsessed with this phone case. I have it in black already and it’s so convenient to have a strap when you need it and a little pocket for your cards/money. I can’t remember the last time I used a wallet – such a great phone case! And lastly, these Vans!! Dying over the color combo and love the tweed texture – so pretty!

navy flats

DETAILS:  OVERSIZED KNIT CARDIGAN (UNDER $50) | DENIM (UNDER $50) | NAVY BOW SLIDES (UNDER $100)

Topshop pieces always sell out so fast, and I think this cardigan is going to be one of the pieces that flies. It comes in 4 colors and has the prettiest cable knit texture! Also dying over how cute these bow slides are. 😍 They are under $100 and love all 3 colors!

Fitting Room Fashion

Anniversary Sale

DETAILS: LONG SLEEVE KNIT (UNDER $30 – WEARING SIZE XS) | DENIM (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 25) | BOOTIES (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 7.5)

Even if you aren’t planning on stocking up on much during the sale, there are so many great closet staples and basics that you will wear forever. Love this cozy knit (under $30) and booties (under $100 – also love them in white and black!) that you can wear with anything.

leather and suede

DETAILS: LEATHER JACKET WITH HOOD (UNDER $70) | GREY SKIRT (UNDER $70 – WEARING SIZE 25) | BLACK OVER-THE-KNEE BOOTS (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 8)

Over-the-knee boots were another one of my favorite buys last season. This pair looks really high-end (could the pointed toe be anymore perfect?) but they are under $100. Definitely a must-have this season. Also, I couldn’t believe this jacket was under $70! I love the hood for more of an urban vibe.

Nsale

wrap top

DETAILS: LONG SLEEVE WRAP TOP (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE XS) | JEANS (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 25) | NUDE FLATS (WEARING SIZE 8)

Another great staples, this wrap sweater is such a classic silhouette and looks a lot more expensive than it is (under $50 and comes in 5 colors!) And you can never have enough denim. Love the hem and wash on this one!

navy blazer

White + block heels = could this combo get any better!?

jumpsuit and blazer

 DETAILS: PLAID BLAZER (WEARING SIZE 2) | NAVY JUMPSUIT (UNDER $60) | WHITE BLOCK HEELS (UNDER $50! – WEARING SIZE 8)

The jumpsuit of my dreams! It’s a really simple silhouette but it’s super flattering and feels really high-end so I couldn’t believe it was under $60! This is another great date night look or an outfit for an upcoming event calling for dressier attire. Another great thing about jumpsuits is they are so simple you can usually go all out when accessorizing. This plaid layered blazer is something I never would have thought to wear otherwise, but I love it over this jumpsuit for an unexpected combo.

nude flats

striped sweater

perforated purse

DETAILS: STRIPED CASHMERE SWEATER (WEARING SIZE XS) | JEANS (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 25) | NUDE FLATS (UNDER $200 – WEARING SIZE 8) | CROSSBODY TOTE

I’m a sucker for anything nude – it matches with everything and is also a really elegant look when you wear it head to toe. Love this striped cashmere sweater with these nude flats.

fall fashion

DETAILS: GREY COAT (UNDER $200) | STRIPED CASHMERE SWEATER (WEARING SIZE XS) | JEANS (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 25) | NUDE FLATS (UNDER $200 – WEARING SIZE 8) | CROSSBODY TOTE

Another outerwear staple at a great price point! We all have our budgets and price ranges where we feel comfortable, so this sale is a great opportunity to add some pieces that might be out of your range normally to your closet. Have a couple higher-end items (whether that item is $100 or $1000 – whatever higher-end is to you!) will completely transform your wardrobe. Outerwear is always a great category to invest in since you’ll likely wear it more frequently that other pieces.

Black and Grey

DETAILS: BLACK TEE (UNDER $15 – WEARING SIZE XS) | GREY CARDIGAN (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE 4) | DENIM (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 24) | BLACK OVER-THE-KNEE BOOTS (UNDER $100 – WEARING SIZE 8)

You can never have enough tees and cardigans – trust me, it will give you endless outfit options!  This is the third color of this one I shared earlier – I don’t think I can narrow it down! haha

grey cardi

pink pants

white cami

DETAILS: WHITE CAMISOLE (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE XS) | BLUSH SILK JOGGERS (WEARING SIZE XS) | GREY CASHMERE CARDIGAN | WHITE SNEAKERS (UNDER $150 – WEARING SIZE 8)

These pants!! You guys know how much I wear my joggers and that I can never say no to pink, so you can only imagine how much I love these pink silk joggers! If I had to choose one outfit to transition from day to night, this would be it. Swap your sneakers for pumps and trade in your cardigan for a colorful lip, and you are ready for a night out!

plaid and white

plaid trench coat

DETAILS: PLAID TRENCH COATWHITE CAMISOLE (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE XS | BLACK JEANS (UNDER $40 – WEARING SIZE 24) | WHITE BLOCK HEELS (UNDER $50! – WEARING SIZE 8)

Plaid is even bigger this season than it was last year! Coats are a great way to tip your toe into the trend if you aren’t ready to jump in feet first, and I love the silhouette of this one and the pattern mixing on this one.

3 Ways To Prepare for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

I always do the biggest chunk of my fall shopping during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I get 40-50% of my fall wardrobe during the sale! And I’m still wearing tons of the pieces I picked up at last year’s sale. Unlike most sales, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has all of this season’s pieces at crazy discounts and it’s across all categories – beauty, clothes, accessories, shoes, and stuff for the whole family. It’s hands down the best time to shop this year, so I wanted to share 3 things you need to know now before the sale starts!

Become a Nordstrom Member ASAP!

The Anniversary Sale opens to Nordstrom Cardholders on July 12th, and it doesn’t open to the rest of the public until July 20th. A lot of pieces sell out during that time, so it really pays off to sign up as a member. If you are on the fence, chances are you will end up signing up at some point so better to get first dibs when the sale starts on the 12th. Even if you don’t use it very often, you’ll be glad you have it to access the sale.  If you haven’t yet, you can apply here.

When in doubt, pull the trigger.

No matter when you start shopping, pieces are always moving quickly so when in doubt, always check out! Nordstrom is the easiest store ever for returns, so if you get a piece and it doesn’t work out it’s beyond easy to return it. I’m guilty of always adding pieces to my cart and then getting distracted by something else, and when I come back to check out half of the pieces are sold out (and it’s always my favorite picks!)

It’s not over til it’s over.

Nordstrom will randomly add new pieces or restock during the sale, so don’t forget to keep checking until it ends on August 5th! I’ll be sharing some of my favorites when the sale launches on Thursday (I got a sneak peek last week – can’t wait to share some of my favorite outfits!) and I’ll be sharing my favorites continuously throughout the sale, from new additions to restocks, and more.

Below are a few pieces I already have my eye on! You can also look at the catalog here.

nordstrom anniversary sale watches

ALL THINGS DESIGNER

If you’ve been saving up for an investment piece, this is definitely the time to buy. I wear my Michele watches all the time and this one is gorgeous, and is 33% of which adds up. Lagos is another great option for high-end jewelry and they have a few great pieces included in the sale as well.

STEVE MADDEN BRINKLEY BOOTS

Over-the-knee boots are one of the biggest styles every season, and I love the fresh update to this pair with a pointed toe and block heel. It looks really high-end and is over 35% off and under $100. This is one of those pieces that will go really quickly.

VINCE ALORA MULE

I have a nude pair of Vince mules that I have been wearing for years and they are close to the end. I have been looking everywhere so something similar and SOOO excited to see these! They are super versatile and you can (and will) wear them with anything.

TOPSHOP OPEN FRONT CARDIGAN

Topshop is always a hit during the Anniversary sale and this cardigan is one of those pieces that I think will fly. Love the knit structure and the longline hem which we are seeing tons of this season.

Hey guys! Summer has always been one of my favorite seasons to shop for so I’m always adding summery pieces to my cart – especially ones that I can transition into fall. We are total beach people and always make it a point to go to a beach at least once every few months, so I’m buying swimwear year-round. I think swimwear is my biggest weakness! I’m always drawn towards pastels and neutrals, and how cute is this light pink one piece? Love the crochet detail. I’m also a major sucker for stripes so I this bikini set and this oversized button up that you can wear as a swimsuit coverup or with cut-offs of jeans. Sandals are another piece that I end up wearing most of the year and I just found this updated version of the sandals I’ve been living in this season! I wear the white non-stop but also love the bright yellow!  I’ve also been realizing I need to freshen up my bag game and fell in love when I came across this one – it’s an investment but it’s one of those bags you’ll own and wear forever. Also love this one that’s at a really accessible price point and will go with everything.

If there’s one print that never gets old, it’s stripes. No matter how many striped pieces I have in my closet, I can always make room for one more. You’ve heard me say the same thing about neutrals, so it’s no surprise that one of my favorite combos is anything combing the two.  There’s something about soft neutral stripes that makes any outfit read high-end. We just added this top to Shop Hello Fashion and it’s the perfect top to transition from the office to drinks afterwards.  It’s really lightweight and I love the double ruffle sleeve detail!

Below are a few more new Shop Hello Fashion pieces we’ve added to the collection:
