Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Shoes, Booties, Boots, Oh My!

By: Emma Faulkner

Emma here! Saving myself from the miserable heat by dangerously online shopping with all these crazy summer deals! If there is one thing I love to make an outfit pop – it’s shoes – and Nordstrom’s got me covered!

I find myself daydreaming about my sweaters and flannels waiting for fall. My favorite fall accessory is booties, I love me a classic bootie for literally every occasion. These Nina Waterproof Suede Booties come in four different colors and are so cute! I can just see them with a cute cuffed jean and a comfy sweater! I also love these Nestel Knee High Boots and Uchee Knee High Boots because tall boots and leggings are the perfect comfy combo for a cold day.

There are so many fun colors and patterns to spice up any outfit! But being a California girl in the Midwest I have learned the importance of waterproof shoes – I highly recommend stocking up now! I have a version of these Sperry Saltwater Rain boots and they are my everything when the rain and snow come.

I love a good supportive heel but I have very flat feet which makes flats my best friend. These Toby Flats can be dressed up for work or dressed down for any day wear. I also love a good deal on VANS they are my favorite sneaker and I love them for game days and concerts. These Old Skool Suede Low Top Sneaker are super cute for…you guessed it the fall!

Emma’s Faves:

Buy Me First.

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings will be $65 during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Buy these first. These rarely go on sale and will sell out quickly.

I’m ordering the Spanx bandeau too–my strapless bra is so so uncomfortable and I feel like the one-shoulder/strapless trend isn’t going anywhere soon, so hoping this will be much more comfy than the torture chamber of a strapless bra I’ve been wearing this summer!

Cardholder Early Access is Here!

Let’s do this, girls. Here’s our strategy:

Women’s Sale Items always go first. Shop for yourself before you shop Kids or Menswear.

Tops

Sweaters–so much animal print in sweaters, shoes and boots this year!

Skirts & Dresses

Coat & Jackets

All the Best for Baby in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Annie here…Baby + Anniversary Sale is a dangerous time for me. Especially this year with all kinds of darling fall clothes and accessories for Margot! Lucky for us, there are some great deals and steals!

There’s nothing I love more than outfit sets for Margot and there are some very hip sets for end of summer and fall. Some of my faves are the Nike Slub Jersey Tunic and Leggings Set and the Tucker + Tate Pretty Plaid Dress Set. The Nordstrom Baby Organic Cotten Hooded Sweater and Oso North Face Hoodie will be fall staples. Is there anything cuter than Moto Leggings and Headband Bows on a one year old!?

Boy stuff is making me hope for a little boy one day…for now our favorite little men – Teddy, Patrick, and William are going to rock some of these looks. Again with the sets – makes for easy and adorable outfits. I’m especially loving the Hooded Chambray Jacket and Corduroy Pants Set and Nike Colorblock Track Suit. Every little boy needs this Quilted Patagonia Jacket and this Varsity Hooded Cardigan for football games in the fall!

The North Face ALWAYS comes through for the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! Nicole & Emily stock up for the big kids’ winter coats every year and they always have great new color combos in time for the sale. This coat would be so cute for Margot to match the big kids and I love that they’re all reversible!

The final must haves for baby are the Noodle & Boo Nursery Essentials. Smells SO GOOD. And if you’re looking for a stroller the Nuna 2019 MIXX is a steal during this sale.

Remember early access for Nordstrom cardholders starts tomorrow – 7/12! Run don’t walk to stock up on baby gear!! Happy Shopping!

We’ll have more shopping guides back here soon & don’t forget to check out our earlier posts covering the #NSale here:

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks from our Readers!

You asked. We answered! We loved hearing from YOU!! Thanks for helping us make some fun Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Wish Lists!

Petunia Picklebottom–not part of the Anniversary Sale this year:(( but we’re putting together a big Baby post to share soon! I did see this really cute Freshly Picked baby bag, though! I love that it’s a backpack too and its a great olive color that dads wouldn’t mind carrying either.

Frye–yes! This was a great suggestion! I only wish there was going to be MORE! These are ALL the Frye options in the #Nsale this year. Really cute. These will all be offered in 2-3 colors and the boots will be in extended calf sizes too. I think I’m going to try on the Carly boot. Hope they fit, so I can head into fall with cute new tall boots, rather than scrambling around after Christmas for boots on sale after all the sizes and good colors have been picked over!

Ugg–the best deal all year on our favorite Scuffette Slipper!! I also like the long hooded cardigan–a nice change from the annual Barefoot Dreams cardigan options for something cozy. And this year, it looks like your best Ugg bargains are going to be for your kids or your home!

Hunter–These will all be included in tons of colors! And the kids options are so cute too!!

Burberry Sunglasses–3 great choices included in the sale! I think my favorite are the 57mm Vintage Check! These will never go out of style.

You guys were hoping to see all the Vineyard Vines in the #NSale this year, and guess what?! There isn’t anything included for Women or Girls in the sale! Bummer. But, I linked up all the VV for Men & Boys below:

Vineyard Vines–for boys:

Stay tuned for more!! XOXO, Emily, Nicole, Annie & Emma

Things I’m Loving This Week

By: Emily Heaston

Old Navy Active Wear

Dear Fast and Free Tight,

I’m seeing someone else.

Love,

Emily

…But seriously, I spent $20 on these bottoms vs. $128 for what I typically wear to the gym & the matching bra is every bit as cute too — and you know I like the matchy bra & scrunchies! Not from Old Navy, but I also got so many compliments on my tank when I wore it to work out and afterwards when I was running a bunch of errands!

EllandEmm

Have you checked out EllandEmm yet? They have such fun designs combined with your favorite cotton tees & sweatshirts — a perfect blend of cute & comfortable. I also love the 90’s nostalgia! I shared my Troop Beverly Hills tee on our Instagram in May & was so excited that my Vogue lightweight sweatshirt arrived this week. I’ll take a picture in it to post soon, but it’s 110 degrees here and I. JUST. CAN’T. The Vogue striped sweatshirt was sold out when I found it, but I signed up for an email alert & purchased when it was restocked. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have to wait too long for it to be restocked or for shipping. If you find something you love, you can use code TAKE104U for 10% off your order.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is Coming!

Cardholders Shop First! I’m truly not one to encourage friends to open up credit card accounts. I mean we’re not freshman in college & no one is giving us free tshirts for new accounts anymore amirite? BUT…this is one exception because you really can stock up on so many great items during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale’s Cardholder Early Access. This year, Nordstrom cardmembers shop Early Access seven days early, July 12—18! Some items will sell out during the Early Access portion of the sale, so non-cardholders risk having to wait for Black Friday to catch these sale prices again. Cardholders can also choose their own double-points day, so if you plan on shopping the Anniversary Sale, it pays to get organized ahead of time and really take advantage of those Nordy rewards.

I’ve had a Nordstrom card for several years to take advantage of Cardholder Early Access during this sale and I don’t think it’s any accident that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale takes place over my birthday! The Nordstrom Sale preview came in the mail the other day, and I put together some links to my favorite items. If you click the hearts near the items you like, you’ll have an easier time finding them when the sale begins! Most of my favorites come in lots of color options, but it’s only allowing me to show you certain images/colors while the sale is in preview mode–I’ll continue to update this post as the sale gets closer, so check back!! The links below might also look like an item is Sold Out, but that means Nordstrom hasn’t made it available for sale on their site just yet. There is so much more to come, but let’s start here:

Lakebound Looks

My personal wish list before we head to Clear Lake!

Final Fave For Now!
