The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale lived up to our expectations once again this year. The moment the sale went live for us on August 10th as “Influencers,” we were ready to “add to cart” all of those items we had on our wish list. Of course, a few of them were already out of stock and went out of stock before we could press that “place order” button, but the fun is in the chase, right? And we definitely had to chase a few items.
Today, the sale opened up to EVERYONE– cardholders and non-cardholders!! So, we wanted to review the items we’ve been shipped so far and will add in the others as they arrive.
*All items are officially uploaded and reviewed as of 8/29!
1. BP Sleepy Lounge Tee / 2. BP All Day Tee
BP tees are amazing because they’re great quality for a low price. Ash is rocking the BP Sleepy Lounge Tee, one of her favorites for a while now, so she has it in every color (TTS–oversized and slouchy).
Er is rocking the All Day Tee and she has fallen in love with its form fitting style. While she also loves the BP Sleepy Lounge Tee, she was in desperate need of a few nicer t-shirts and this one got the job done. She also loves the look of this tee with a scalloped edge bralette.
So what are the major differences between the two? While both are made of the same material the Sleepy Lounge Tee is more relaxed fit with a V- neck line making it perfect for off the shoulder. The All-Day Tee is more formfitting around the arms and has a rounded neck. Erin purchased this All-Day in medium but also got a large for the same neckline but slouchy feel.
These jeans were Ash’s favorite steal from the sale! They are not only comfortable, but really flattering. Kut From Kloth is a great jeans brand and we’re so surprised they still have some of these left in stock! Grab them while you still can!
We know. We’re not fans of the Kardashian family, but we have to say we are fans of these jeans. (Good American by Khloe Kardashian). We both snagged a pair of these for under $80 as part of a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! They are nice & stretchy and ultimately, fit like a glove. They’re the kind you have to jump to get into and still perfect even if you have a bigger bottom half. If you are size 0-10, they suggest going up 1 size. For all sizes above 10, they are true to size. We both sized up 1 size and they ended up being perfect!
Ash’s cardigan is Barefoot Dreams (in taupe) and the softest ever. We’d like to have 100 of their cardigans a piece because they’re like cuddling up in a soft blanket. Underneath the cardigan is the All in Favor V-Neck T-Shirt ($15.90).
Same sweater styled two ways. When I first saw this sweater I loved the uniqueness of the style but I wasn’t quite sold. Then an idea popped into my mind: what if I sized up and rocked it oversized. Ah ha! I am so happy that I made that call. It looks great with these Good American Jeans and my Zella leggings, both Nordstrom purchases. Shoes are Steve Madden and also part of this sale! I talk more about those below!
Funny story about this one. Read the reviews and posts raving about the comfiest dog bed ever so I added it to my wish list just in case I decided to splurge on Charlie girl. When I added my entire wish list to cart, it came along with it. When it arrived, I felt how soft it was and asked her what she thought of it. She cuddled up into it and completely LOVED it. A little later, she TOOK THE TAGS OFF and laid it on the floor in front of me. So, we have a new dog bed…
This sweatshirt– Amazing. It’s got a slight crop to it and it’s so soft and oversized. Our husbands are probably sick of us rocking the same lounge outfit several evenings a week. We were able to obtain it in 3 of the 4 offered colors!
We love to pair this sweatshirt with our Lulus or our classic Zella High-Rise Live In Leggings. They’re amazing quality leggings, nice and thick, and they hold up well! $38 during this sale is always a steal! We each have several pairs! We also bought grey in addition to classic black.
Love that the Nordstrom Sale has Nike for so cheap! These shorts went fast, but there are still a few left. If they don’t have your size, keep checking back for returns. I love this pair for softball on Monday nights! I’m wearing the BP Sleepy Lounge Tee on top (#1).
11. BP Leopard Dress
Love this little leopard dress. The gathered waist and ruffled sleeves and shoulders give it a unique look, perfect for work or a dinner date.
This sweatshirt screams cozy and we are so glad we grabbed it. Its super soft on the inside and is heavy enough that you will want to sit outside around a fire in the middle of fall. It pairs perfectly with leggings! We have a feeling that we will pretty much live in this sweatshirt constantly, too. Ashley got hers in pink!
These high top sneakers are my favorite purchases from this sale, I am so happy I snagged these! Buyers tip: size up. At first I was a bit worried they would be too big but after wearing them I feel really happy with my choice. I also have just enough room for a low sock for those cool fall and winter days.
I used this for the first time and I. am. amazed. A few of my friends go for Derma-planing at their local med-spa or esthetician. When I saw there was a device that enabled you to get the same results at home with amazing reviews, I had to go for it. It’s regularly $199, but because of the Nordy Sale, I was able to snag it for $99! It removes soft vellus hairs that all women have and can’t really see and also removes dead skin cells. The result is smooth, glowy skin– amd make-up goes on flawlessly! It is to be used once per week! So glad I made this purchase. Impressed!
15. BP Lounge Separates (Cozy Top & Joggers) / 15. Barefoot Dreams In the Wild Throw
This was one of the items I had on my wish list from the start. I was so excited when it finally arrived! I loved the tie dye print; however, it was available in 7 different prints from the start. Though they are not all currently in stock, there are still a few left. Others are re-appearing with returns too!
We are cuddled up with our new favorite blanket from Barefoot Dreams. I was super lucky to get one added to my cart in the color I wanted!! It’s really the SOFTEST blanket ever and I legit look forward to snuggling up with it on my couch every evening after work. All of the raving reviews are true. Best blanket on earth: confirmed.
This is one of those sold out items that I had to work to find. I am so glad I was able to get a tan one; I absolutely love the color and style. This sweatshirt is also stocked and available in other colors here— some on sale and some not.
Free People always sells out before everything during the Nordstrom Sale, but I finally got one in the color I wanted– Pearl Mauve– thanks to someone’s return!! This is one you just have to keep an eye on because returns pop up and those restocks are a beautiful thing!
This cardigan material is EXACTLY like the blankets!! It’s so plush-feeling and warm, so I love to wear it with leggings on these cool summer nights we’ve had lately. It’s going to be the perfect fall staple, especially because I can’t walk around in public with my Barefoot Dreams blanket… lol. I had to keep checking back to get this one, but it did show up. If you’re still looking for one, don’t give up. Returns make dreams come true! :p
My Ugg Fluffette Slippers are still in stock in all colors and sizes and are SUCH an amazing deal ($30 off)! I love how easy they are to slip on. I hate wearing socks, so these are a good compromise!
