The annual Nordstrom Anniversary sale is right around the corner! Nordstrom has announced the upcoming days where different tiers of customers can shop. As an ambassador, I enjoy going to the preview event and RSVP as an ambassador each year. It’s a special experience when the store opens early for its loyal customers and you can look at the new releases while the store is quiet with less traffic. As an ambassador, you also get Nordstrom snacks and based on the past few years, a reusable Nordstrom water bottle.

You can also book a styling appointment during the sale, if you would like suggestions from a Nordstrom advisor. If you do this…I would prepare to spend more though, as you will likely be styled in several outfits, which each would be made up of 4-5 pieces. To give you a frame of reference, in the past I tried this and one of the outfits was a Vince sweater paired with Mother Jeans. (That was a $500+ outfit.) It may be more financially sustainable to handpick your pieces and create your own outfit combos, especially if you are on a budget!
If you are interested in the beauty items during the sale, I would keep a watch on the Glam Up Days from July 18th-August 9th, as well as the Beauty Bash on July 25th, for free samples, makeup tutorials, and gifts with purchase. Often the beauty sets make amazing birthday and holiday gifts.
A few new twists this year…there is a game called…find the golden hanger in the store…to win a $25 or $125 promo card. From July 14th-17th, the first 250 customers at the store, get a scratch ticket for a surprise. I am anxiously awaiting to receive the anniversary catalogue in the mail. It is easy to browse the preview on the website, however as a Journalism major, I love something tangible in front of me that I can browse. I will be sharing more posts as the preview comes out, with my wishlist in mind, so stay tuned.
