Your 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale One-Stop Shop

It's Almost Sale Time!

I made you a promise this year and intend to stick to it! That being not to overwhelm you with this year's Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. We're going to keep it pretty straightforward and simple this year, and I'm going to round up every little thing you need right here in this post. Consider it your one-stop shop!

What NOT to Buy from the Sale

Last year I created a post, "What NOT to Buy from the 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale". I wanted to leave this post as a resource for you, as it definitely still applies to this year! In summary, I covered 4 "pass" categories: the one thing you see everyone buying, more than a handful of Fall pieces, a major splurge item, and basics. See more on why I recommend skipping over these items in last year's post.

If You Want to Browse My Full Selection

Head over to NSALE HOME! There you'll find shop tabs for categories like boots and shoes, home, and mens (to name a few) where you can browse my curated selection. These shop tabs are updated daily as new items are released for the sale! Think of it as a carefully curated, condensed version of what you'll see on Nordstrom's website with the best of the best!

At the End of the Day...

It's just a sale. With the amount of coverage on social media and blogs, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, pressured to buy, and like it's all just too much. My goal is to give you a watered down version of the huge selection to help you more easily find some on-trend pieces for the new season, along with item's I personally already own and love.

Remember that I'm just a DM away! Shoot me a message on IG if you have any questions that I don't cover in this post!

Sale FAQ's

How do you shop early access to the sale?

Nordstrom cardholders are eligible to shop early access to the sale. Every cardholder is a part of a different tier, depending on annual spending. Icons, who are the highest level cardholders, gain access the earliest on August 4th, Ambassadors on August 7th, Influencers on August 10th, and Insiders on August 13th. The full sale opens to the general public on August 19th, and runs for both cardholders and general public until August 30th.

Many shoppers choose to open a Nordstrom card just for the sale, as pieces tend to sell out very quickly during early access. That being said, I only encourage you to open a Nordstrom card if it's something you're financially able and comfortable doing!

What are the best brands to look out for?

My first and most frequently searched brand is always Topshop. Madewell, Blank NYC, Levi's, Marc Fisher, Steve Madden, Barefoot Dreams & Leith are others I also keep a special eye out for!
