It’s my favorite time of the year again! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has officially begun. I am listing my tips for shopping the sale below along with my top picks from the sale. Be sure to follow me in the LTK app and on Instagram for updates, styled outfits and in-stock alerts.

Tips for shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale:

-You must go into the sale with a plan. The more prepared you are, the more likely you will be to grab your favorites.

-Make sure your card information is up to date and check your cardmember status to see which day you can begin to shop. Icons shop today, Ambassadors shop tomorrow and the sale opens to the public on the 15th.

– Do a closet inventory of what you need for this year and make a list of items you plan to shop for. This is also a great time to grab some Christmas gifts and winter items for your kids.

– I tend to stick to buying basics for this sale – think boots, jeans, coats, etc. These brands are great quality and last for years. I love to stock up on sneakers and athleisure as well.

– Add things to your wish list on the Nordstrom website under your account so that you can check out quickly.

I’ve rounded up some new releases that will be perfect to throw in your beach bag or grab for a pool day! Let’s kick off the season with some new books to read this summer!

My Amazon posts and stories have quickly become a favorite around here, so I figure, why not give you more of what you want? I am going to continue doing a little round up each month of Amazon fashion finds and will also be sharing some of them in stories later today! While I cannot always try everything that I share, I do try as many as I can in order to give you my honest opinion on quality, so stay tuned to my Instagram later today for that! In the meantime, thank you for always being so supportive of my blog which helps support my family! We appreciate each and every one of you and the fact that you shop our links!
