If you’ve been following StacyKnows for a while, you know this is one of my favorite shopping events of the year.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale isn’t your typical clearance sale. You’re shopping brand-new fall arrivals before the season even starts—and at prices that won’t last. Once the sale ends, everything goes back to full price.
I wait for this sale every year because it’s the perfect excuse to replace wardrobe staples, grab gifts ahead of the holidays (yes, I’m already thinking about them!), and splurge on those beauty products I’ve been eyeing all year.
When Can You Shop?
- July 14: Icon Cardholders
- July 15: Ambassadors
- July 16: Influencers
- July 18: Everyone
Pro Tip: Fill your Nordstrom Wish List before your shopping window opens. The best items disappear FAST.
⭐ Stacy’s 10 Can’t-Miss Picks
These are the categories I shop every single year:
1. Cashmere Sweaters
Nothing says fall like a cozy cashmere sweater. Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is one of the only times you’ll find premium cashmere at incredible prices.
2. On Sneakers
You already know I’m always on my feet—whether I’m covering an event, discovering a new restaurant, or walking around New York. On sneakers are stylish, ridiculously comfortable, and worth grabbing while they’re on sale.
3. HOKA Walking Shoes
If comfort is your priority, HOKAs never disappoint. They’re perfect for travel days, long walks, and busy weekends.
4. Barbour Jackets
A Barbour jacket is one of those forever pieces. Classic, timeless, and something you’ll wear year after year.
5. Lauren Ralph Lauren Coat
Planning a winter getaway or just want a gorgeous coat you’ll own for years? This is the time to buy one.
6. Natori Bras
If you’ve never tried a Natori bra, trust me—there’s a reason women swear by them. They’re comfortable, flattering, and rarely discounted.
7. True & Co. Bralettes
Perfect for travel days, working from home, or anytime comfort wins.
8. Luxury Beauty
I always check the beauty exclusives first. This year’s luxury skincare sets make great gifts—and even better treats for yourself.
9. Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
I’ve heard amazing things about this cult favorite. The Anniversary Sale is one of the few opportunities to save on this luxury skincare splurge.
10. Holiday Gifts
It feels early, but hear me out. Cashmere scarves, cozy socks, beauty gift sets, and accessories are all discounted now. Future you will thank you in December.
My Shopping Strategy
After covering this sale for years, here’s what I’ve learned:
✔️ Save your favorites before your shopping date.
✔️ Shop early in the morning when your access opens.
✔️ If you love it, buy it. Don’t “think about it.” Popular sizes and colors disappear quickly.
✔️ Check back often. Nordstrom restocks many popular items throughout the sale.
One Last Thing…
I love finding amazing deals almost as much as I love finding amazing restaurants. I’ll be updating this post throughout the sale with my favorite finds, hidden gems, and the pieces I actually buy.
Happy shopping—and if you score something fabulous, send me a message or tag me on Instagram @stacyknows. I’d love to see what you found!
