It’s that time of year again! The big Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is kicking off next month, so today I’m sharing my annual NSale Guide to get us all ready for the big sale. In this post you’ll find exactly what the sale is, how you can shop it, where & how you can find all of my personal sale picks this year, and of course a huge giveaway at the end of this post so that one of you lucky readers can get a little extra $$$ towards your fall wardrobe. Let’s get into it.
What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is arguably one of the biggest of the year, save for Cyber Weekend/Black Friday obviously. The cool thing about it is that it isn’t a sale full of markdowns on last season’s product (like spring and summer) that you’ve already picked through. It’s actually a sale on thousands of (mostly new) fall products at a big discount. These are products that haven’t even hit stores yet, which makes it more exciting. They also have deals on classic pieces that you may already have on your wishlist, exclusive beauty deals & sets of holy grail products, and even deals on home decor!
When does the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale start?
So this is the “tricky” part. Nordstrom allows early access to its cardholders (people who have a Nordstrom credit card), and this year they’re letting people shop the sale based on their card status before opening the sale up to everyone else (non-cardholders) on July 28th. Nordstrom is also opening a preview to the sale for everyone on July 6th, so that you can browse some of the deals and start getting your wishlist ready. The official dates/shopping windows for cardholders and non-cardholders this year are below:
Now I’ll quickly touch on the cardholder statuses for those who aren’t familiar. Basically, you reach different status levels the more you shop with your Nordstrom credit card. The first level is Influencer status, and when you spend a bit more you can reach Ambassador status, and finally the highest status is Icon. Each status also comes with its own benefits such as free tailoring, extra Double Points Days, access to invite-only events…you get it. So if you have a Nordstrom card, I’d recommend popping over to nordstrom.com now and seeing what status you are so that you know when you’re able to shop the sale. If you aren’t a cardholder, don’t sweat it! You’ll get access to the sale on July 28th, so stay tuned!
I also feel obligated to say that I am by no means, saying that you should open up a credit card to shop early. Admittedly, I did that a couple years ago, but I decided it was important for my blog and chalked it up to a business decision more than an emotional one. If you’re in a financial place where a credit card will benefit you and won’t burden you, I say go for it. But if you aren’t, please do not put yourself in debt or in a bad spot financially over this sale. It’s truly just a sale, and while I know there is a lot of hype around it, we have to keep things in perspective at the end of the day. Be smart and do what’s best for you!
How will I personally be covering the sale?
I’ll be sharing my NSale Picks in a variety of places, just like I did last year, so that I can reach the most amount of people wherever they prefer shopping. The NSale is notorious for being kind of crazy and things do sell out INCREDIBLY FAST, so you definitely want to snag stuff that you like/that I’m sharing while it’s still in stock. Nordstrom’s return policy is also second to none so if you find that you don’t like something, have buyer’s remorse, or just want to exchange it, you can always do that. Here’s all the ways you can shop with me this year:
On the blog: You’ll be able to shop all my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks in a dedicated shop right here on the blog, just like last year! I’ll share my curated picks from all categories: clothes, shoes, beauty, and home, plus my exact purchases once I am able to shop on July 16, so don’t forget to come back here for that!
On LIKEtoKNOW.it: You will also be able to find my picks in the LIKEtoKNOW.it app, just search “theprettylittlehustler” and follow me there! Pro-tip: make sure you are following me on both Instagram and LIKEtoKNOW.it so you don’t miss any posts!
On my Youtube channel: ICYMI I launched my Youtube channel last fall and am excited to share a (hopefully more!) NSALE haul video on my channel! I’ll be sharing everything that I personally bought, how it fits and looks in person, and more, so definitely head over there and subscribe so you don’t miss a video!
I’ll also make sure to share some of my picks over on Instagram, though I personally don’t find it to be a big shopping channel for my audience and I don’t want to bombard people with that content if they aren’t interested. I’ll probably share most of my NSale Picks on stories, but the above three channels (blog, LTK.it, and Youtube) will be your main places to shop with me!*
*By shopping my links, I do earn a small commission on your purchase at no cost to you. It is a way for me to monetize my blog and keep everything running as it has been for the past four years. I truly appreciate your support and am always happy to answer any questions you may have.
