Did you know? I used to work at Nordstrom, including during the Anniversary Sale. Here are my insider tips: First — The NSale isn’t a clearance event. The Anniversary Sale features brand new fall pieces, released early and discounted just once a year. Second — Early Access starts July 8 if you’re a Nordstrom cardholder. Everyone else can shop July 12. You can preview the sale now online and build your wishlist, which I highly recommend. It's the best way to track the status of items you want, and purchase quickly once you have access. Third — Things will sell out. Especially boots, popular brand sneakers, coats, high-end beauty deals/tools, and denim. The big-ticket items go fast, but, and here's the key - they often restock after a few days (those early shoppers? They return a lot). So, keep track of the items you couldn't get. I almost guarantee you'll see them again. ✨ My best advice? Go in with a plan. Even if you don’t score the buzzy items, there are amazing deals on beauty, basics, and travel-friendly staples — and that’s what I’ve rounded up for you. You can find all my picks (especially the travel-friendly ones) over on my LTK — linked in bio or search @pintspoundsandpate 💻🧳 NordstromAnniversarySale NordstromInsiderTips nsale FallFashionFinds TravelStyle LTKtravel EuropePackingTips SaleShoppingStrategy LTKcurated BloggerTips WhatToBuy LTKSaleAlert
