It’s officially Christmas in July – the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is back and better than ever this year! There are so many great closet staples included from some of my favorite brands. From July 12 through August 3, you can get up to 50% off coveted items from top brands like MOTHER, Tory Burch, Ralph Lauren, Hoka, and more. I am especially excited about the ON Cloudnovas marked nearly half off and beautiful Barbour jackets discounted.

Why Shop the Nordstrom Sale?

Why shop the Anniversary Sale?

1. Brand new styles are discounted – unlike typical sales that clear out old stock, this event lets you shop the upcoming season’s hottest arrivals at a discount .
2. High-end brands on sale – from designer fragrances and premium denim to chic handbags and classic outerwear—all discounted up to 50 %.
3. Nordy Club perks – free two-day shipping, alteration services, bonus points (including double or triple point days during the sale), and exclusive events make this a no-brainer.

Tips for Shopping the Sale:

1. Join Nordy Club + get the card.
Signing up is free, but having a Nordstrom credit card unlocks Early Access starting July 8-11th—the first days of the sale before it opens to everyone.

2. Build your wishlist.
The NSALE preview is live and you can begin searching for the items you need to add to your closet – include your size, color, and item specifics and add them to your wishlist. This way, when your access begins, you can checkout quickly ensuring you get the items you want the most. Things sell out before my eyes every year when I’m trying to checkout. Moving quickly is key.

3. Shop essentials.
Start with higher end investment pieces—shoes, handbags, designer denim, outerwear—and only then browse seasonal trends under $100. Shoes (especially sneakers and uggs) often sell out first, so be ready.

4. Check out quickly & choose fast delivery.
Place your initial orders quickly—especially within the first hour of Early Access—and upgrade to two‑day shipping or same‑day pick‑up to reduce cancellation risks if it is available to you.

6. Stay alert to restocks.
This is where I come in! I’ll be sharing restock alerts throughout the sale, so make sure you are following along with me on the LTK app and Instagram! Popular items sometimes come in and out of stock as customers make returns. Keep wishlist notifications turned on and check back often.

7. Use bonus‑points days.
Activate your Double/Triple Points Day for your first Early Access order to maximize rewards, which convert into Nordstrom Notes. You can do this easily by chatting with someone on the Nordstrom website here and they will set it for you.

8. Stick to Your Budget.
Treat the sale as a chance to replace, upgrade, or complete your wardrobe. Don’t get swept up in impulse buys. This sale gets a lot of attention and hype (for good reason) but do not feel the need to overspend. At the end of the day, it is just stuff.

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.

Weekly Recap:

This week, we kicked off my favorite month of the year with a bang! October is finally here, but it definitely does not feel like it here. It apparently got up to 101 degrees the other day according to our weatherman. It definitely felt like it. I am excited to see it cooling off a tiny bit next week. Maybe it will finally feel more like fall. We went to the pumpkin patch for Sophie’s field trip yesterday and had the best time! I shared a few more photos on Instagram. We played in a corn pit, pet a donkey, played in the bouncy houses, and picked a pumpkin (of course)!

My little man turned 6 months old last Sunday. I shared a little update on him here! I also shared a few bible verses for stressed out moms here. On Wednesday, I shared a small Amazon haul in my insta stories! I will share more Amazon finds on the blog soon, but for now, check it out in my stories highlights here or in the LTK app! Everything I post (and other exclusive app-only content) will be found in the app.under my name (logan_can).

I love putting together reading lists for y’all and this one is one of my favorites every year! Summer reading is my favorite. There is nothing like being on a beach somewhere and diving into a good story…or if you are like me this year, you are more likely on your couch reading and feeding the baby. haha Either way, it is so nice to get lost in a good book during the sweet summertime. I am about halfway through my second book so far and have ordered a couple of these on my list to read next! A few of these were suggestions by this community and I have come to really appreciate when you give me suggestions because you guys are way more in the know that I am on things and I always love reading and trying things y’all suggest to me! With that being said, Where the Crawdads Sing was the #1 suggested book by you guys, so I think it is safe to say that you should definitely read that one! I ordered it and can’t wait to read it next.
