I swear Nordstrom’s anniversary sale gets more complicated every year with different tiers of access (I don’t think I’ll be able to shop the sale for another two weeks because I don’t have a credit card there), but it is still a great opportunity to purchase items I would normally buy at full-price. I thought I’d share today in case you are able to shop the sale before me (it starts today for “Icon” status cardholders), or revisit when it’s open to the public…
MY CURRENT FAVORITE RUNNING SHOES (WROTE ABOUT THEM IN DETAIL HERE)
THE ONLY BRA I WEAR (I ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THIS SALE TO BUY NEW ONES)
BOBBI BROWN EXTRA LIP TINT DUO — BASICALLY TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE; I LOVE THIS SO MUCH FOR EVERYDAY WEAR, AND USUALLY ROTATE BETWEEN THIS FORMULA AND DIOR’S SIMILAR LIP ADDICT
A CASUAL WINTER COAT FOR MINI — I USUALLY GO WITH PATAGONIA, BUT I LIKE THIS REVERSIBLE STYLE IN THE PRETTIEST SHADE OF PINK
Finally, I am intrigued by the idea of trying a new denim silhouette this fall and am contemplating using the sale as an excuse to splurge on a new pair of designer sunglasses. These tortoise Pradas are calling my name. I typically buy less expensive pairs of shades because I find I drop them, crush them, scratch them, break them, etc at an alarming rate (I love Le Spec’s $69 Airheart style and this $15 Celine-esque pair), but…wheeeee. Almost $100 off those Prada beauties…
And if you are having a baby this year — we absolutely LOVED the Nuna Pipa carseat, easily the lightest-weight infant carseat on the market. So nice to have a little price break on this investment! Both of my children also have and adore these ultra-soft Little Giraffe blankets — mini sleeps with hers nightly and it is already threadbare from love. Great baby gift, too — as is this coverall!
P.S. My latest Amazon finds and words I hate.
I like that your roundup was not all clothes, I little bit of everything. My running list includes the bra and frame denim jeans. It’s worth it to have a Nordstrom CC !
Hi Carleen! Yes, a little of everything! I’m especially excited about the Bobbi Brown lip balm and the Natori bra – they never go on sale and I will happily pay full price for both. (Well, not happily. I will happily pay a sale price for both but you get my drift :)…Haha!)

Oooh, I’m intrigued by the Ouai leave-in conditioner! I love their air-dry foam (mousse) and wave spray SO MUCH. Might have to try that out!
I don’t shop at Nordstrom nearly enough to have access until much later in August — and have never been a store-credit-card girl — but will keep this in mind when the sale opens to the public! I like your strategy of going for oft-used and -loved essentials.

Yes! I love the conditioner in the winter especially when my hair is super-dry! Also, all Ouai products smell like HEAVEN.
