Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks

Hi friends! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? I hope you had a wonderful one. We hung out at the pool and got caught up on some stuff around the house. I also cranked through a lot of workout videos for a new project that’s on the way. Stay tuned for more details! I’m super excited about this one.

For today’s post, I wanted to share some faves from this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary sale. This is a sale I look forward to every year because you get brand-new fall items for sale prices before they bump back up to regular price. I was kind of hesitant about sharing the sale this year, because I know that 2020 is a dumpster fire and it’s hard times all around. Many people are struggling financially right now and I get that browsing the sale may be the last thing on the priority ladder.

I was kind of feeling blah about it myself, but when I started browsing the sale, I was surprised to see a lot of essentials and favorites. I also know that shopping is one of the small things bringing me joy right now and many of you have let me know that you feel the same way. So, I thought I’d share some of the good stuff below. Also, to add a bit more fun and joy into this post, I thought I could turn it into a giveaway. Leave a comment below with your favorite pick from the sale and I’ll surprise one lucky winner with their favorite pick and announce it in Friday Faves.

nordstrom 2020 early access sale picks

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks

Early Access is tiered based on cardholder status and opens to the public on the 19th. Is it worth it to get a Nordstrom card? I’d say it depends. It’s the only retail store card we have and I think it’s worth it for points since I buy a lot of our clothes from Nordstrom. It’s nice to shop the sale early because some things sell out, but I don’t think it’s a dealbreaker if you don’t have one. This year I made a wish list from some of the things I’m scoping out (just click the little heart under each item) and it made it easy to quickly order when I was able to shop.

Here are some of my faves!

** = things I own myself or purchased during early access this year

Women’s clothing:

**This gorgeous and super soft Barefoot Dreams cardigan.

**The famous Spanx faux leather leggings. These are SO flattering and I love them in the winter with a slouchy sweater.

**I have this dress in blue and it’s so classic and pretty.

This leopard dress would be really cute with booties.

Love the color and cut of this silk cami. Love these in the winter with a sweater or bomber jacket and statement earrings.

Classic black sheath dress.

This faux leather mini dress is amaaaaaazing.

**An off-shoulder casual sweater. I’ll probably order a couple of these!

**This is my FAVE cozy fleece pullover. I lived in this thing last winter.

Athletic wear:

**My favorite Zella leggings.

LOVE these printed leggings.

**Alo high waist moto leggings.

**Great price on Bombas ankle socks.

Shoes:

The classic low-heeled nude sandal.

**I need new mules, so now is the chance.

Love these low-top Tory Burch sneakers!

**These leopard Hunter boots are amazing.

Intimates and sleepwear:

**These super cute pajamas. Getting two sets since I live in these things.

**These are my favorite pajamas ever and I love the new colors.

**I’ve been needing a new strapless bra, so I’ll prob order this one.

**This is when I stock up on my favorite thongs.

**Best bra award goes to this one! I have so many colors and this is when I usually order a couple more. I hate underwire and it still gives you a nice shape and support.

This Ugg fleece robe would make an awesome holliday gift.

Handbags, beauty, and accessories:

Amazing price on this Tory Burch crossbody.

**TOTALLY want one of these LED light therapy wands!

Slip mega scrunchie set.

These pendants look expensive but aren’t. They make perfect gifts for those those hard-to-shop-for ones.

Classic Tory Burch tote.

So tell me friends: are you shopping the Anniversary sale this year? What’s something that’s on your wish list from the links above? I’ll pick a lucky winner from the comments section and announce this week in Friday Faves.

    Stocking up on zella leggings! They are my fav and have lasted me so long! Hopefully not everything is sold out though 🙁

    • Nicole Kump on August 10, 2020 at 1:14 pm

      Lots of cool finds, Gina! That light therapy device is definitely on my wish list! I’ll be getting the bras for sure. Love them!

  2. Amye on August 10, 2020 at 6:47 am

    I love the off the shoulder sweater, moonlight dream pajamas, and the black sheath dress! Such cute picks!

    • CHARLSIE N on August 10, 2020 at 9:48 am

      I love the fleece pullover! Can’t go wrong with something comfy and warm!

  3. Kristen on August 10, 2020 at 6:51 am

    I love the Tory crossbody! Love that it can be a shoulder bag or crossbody without extra bulky straps.

    • Candy on August 10, 2020 at 10:19 am

      The moonlight dream PJs look soooo comfy! I am due with a baby girl in a few weeks and these look perfect for recovery, skin to skin, and nursing my little miss!

      • Sarah Jane on August 10, 2020 at 11:12 am

        I got two pairs of moonlight pjs (one long sleeve/pants, one shorts/short sleeve) when I was pregnant with baby #3 and have LOVED them after she was born. She is now 10 months old and I have worn them every single night since she was born (and for about a month prior to when she was born, they are super stretchy). They are amazing!

  4. Susan on August 10, 2020 at 6:54 am

    I really appreciate how you always acknowledge that many people are struggling financially (and otherwise), not only in this post, but in others you have made the past several months. Also, it’s very sweet of you to do the giveaway!

    I badly need to overhaul my worn-out sleepwear, and I love the “All American Shortie Pajamas”. They look cute and comfy!

    • Justine on August 10, 2020 at 10:30 am

      I’ve always wanted to try one of those LED light therapy wands! So many cute picks!

  5. Angela K on August 10, 2020 at 7:05 am

    Love sales! That black sheath dress would be perfect for work but there are so many fun picks!

  6. Wendy on August 10, 2020 at 7:10 am

    I’ve been eyeballing that light therapy wand for a while…
    Great if you to do a giveaway.

  7. Janelle on August 10, 2020 at 7:20 am

    My daughter’s name is Hunter so the leopard boots are a MUST! Would love to get my hands on those. Thanks for sharing xo

  8. Natalie Gibbs on August 10, 2020 at 7:28 am

    I am really looking foward to hopefully getting a cream barefoot dreams cardigan and maybe the zella print leggings- how do they really look on? Hoping some things restock before my date (13). Good list ♡

  9. Wendy on August 10, 2020 at 7:45 am

    I have always wanted one of the barefoot dreams cardigans but haven’t let myself purchase one yet!

  10. Lauren on August 10, 2020 at 7:47 am

    Moonlight dream pjs are the best! Great for nursing moms too!

  11. Stefanie on August 10, 2020 at 8:03 am

    Super excited to try the Barefoot Dreams Lite Long Cardigan! Am really just waiting for fall to arrive and it sounds great to be cuddled up right now 🙂

  12. Heather on August 10, 2020 at 8:03 am

    Love love love the moonlight pjs!

  13. Sally Blaser on August 10, 2020 at 8:09 am

    Oh, the leopard Hunters!! Be still my heart.

  14. Monica on August 10, 2020 at 8:14 am

    I will be stocking up on athletic wear, especially Zella leggings!

  15. Maggie C on August 10, 2020 at 8:19 am

    I love the hunter boots or zella leggings! As a newly postpartum mama new workout clothes always sparks that motivation to workout once I’m cleared

  16. Keaghan on August 10, 2020 at 8:44 am

    Leopard Hunter boots are an absolute essential. But those moonlight pj’s are making me want to crawl back into bed!

  17. Leah H. on August 10, 2020 at 8:45 am

    I am loving the beauty buys! Especially the extra large bottle of DryBar Dry Shampoo and the Living Proof shampoo/conditioner sets!

  18. Pamela Talley on August 10, 2020 at 8:51 am

    I’m curious about your fave bra, honestly, or those Zella leggings you rave about! It’s been tough to be unemployed since “the world turned upside down” in March, and one of the things I miss most is just being able to buy myself things I want without weighing that money against things I need. Thanks for doing a giveaway!!!

  19. Amy on August 10, 2020 at 8:52 am

    I’ve been eyeing the Moonlight Dream PJ’s for over a year now. I’m due with my first baby in September and it hasn’t been the easiest pregnancy with everything going on this year! I would love to feel comfortable and a little put together in the hospital with these pj’s.

  20. Alicia L. on August 10, 2020 at 9:12 am

    The BB Dakota dress in Canary is so cute!

  21. Jessie on August 10, 2020 at 9:32 am

    That led light looks amazing as well as that Tory Burch crossbody! Have a great week!

  22. Elizabeth Flanagan on August 10, 2020 at 9:33 am

    I would love the Tory Burch Carson Convertible Leather Crossbody Bag! I only have diaper bags and backpacks so having a nice bag for date nights would be an upgrade for me lol

  23. Maeghan on August 10, 2020 at 9:50 am

    Love the Moonlight Dreams short pajamas. I’ve been eyeing these for awhile but could never justify the $50 price tag.

  24. Natalie on August 10, 2020 at 10:27 am

    My favorite is the zella
    Leggings!

  25. Tiffany on August 10, 2020 at 10:40 am

    Hunter boots or the off shoulder sweater!

  26. GeeAnn on August 10, 2020 at 10:41 am

    Moonlight Dream pjs! I have the long sleeve/pants version and they are seriously the best

  27. Erika on August 10, 2020 at 10:57 am

    I’ve been wanting to try the Zella Live In High Waist Leggings and need to make it happen this time!!

    Our pools are only open for two more weeks so we’ll be there as much as we can be too.

  28. sarah on August 10, 2020 at 11:06 am

    Great picks! The moto leggings or the spanx

  29. Sarah Jane on August 10, 2020 at 11:18 am

    So many great picks, hard to choose! I am about 10 months out from delivering baby #3, who is our last baby, so I am looking forward to updating my wardrobe now that I know I won’t have a pregnant/postpartum body cycle anymore. I have the Ivory/Leopard wubby fleece pullover on my wishlist for the MN winters and I have been eyeing the Spanx faux leather leggings for over a year and might get them this year. I will also be getting a new pair of moonlight pjs as I have worn them every night since baby girl #3 was born, they are amazing!

  30. Shayna on August 10, 2020 at 11:50 am

    Love your picks! I love the fleece pullovers and lived in them the first few months of quarantine, so that would be my top pick. But I have also been eyeing the Alo moto leggings. Athleisure is all I wear anymore.

  31. Jill on August 10, 2020 at 11:51 am

    The fleece pullover looks so cozy!!

  32. Angela on August 10, 2020 at 11:59 am

    Such a nice giveaway!! I’m torn between the best ever pajamas, the zella leggings and the sleep sheath black dress!!

  33. Beth Kluger on August 10, 2020 at 12:04 pm

    I think I need to add those Moonlight short pajamas to my life! Thx for the tip!

  34. Shannon on August 10, 2020 at 12:26 pm

    Zella leggings and the barefoot dreams cardi for sure! They are great staples and I know with everything going on, I will be living in those this fall and winter. 🙂

  35. Jody on August 10, 2020 at 12:26 pm

    That cardigan looks amazing. I may just need to order it. As it looks like I may be working from home for the rest of the year I’m planning on upgrading my fall outfits to less sweatpants and sweatshirts during the day to more cardigans and leggings. If we do end up back in the office, if I throw on boots and a scarf or necklace and I’m all set.

  36. VCK on August 10, 2020 at 12:26 pm

    I really like the Alo and Zella leggings. Both are things I wouldn’t think to purchase for myself, but like a lot of people, I’m not wearing a lot of “real clothes” these days.

  37. Alaina on August 10, 2020 at 12:28 pm

    I’d live for a pair of the high waist Zella leggings in grey, size XS!

  38. Dina on August 10, 2020 at 12:30 pm

    The barefoot dream cardigan looks comfy.

  39. Renae on August 10, 2020 at 12:35 pm

    I’ve been covering the barefoot dream cardigan for a couple years now and think this year is the year to get one! (So long as it’s in stock!!)

  40. Crystal on August 10, 2020 at 1:04 pm

    Omg I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about the barefoot dreams cardigan! Maybe I’ll finally get one haha. Always love your Nordstrom anniversary posts Gina!

  41. HDrever on August 10, 2020 at 1:06 pm

    I would pick up a Tory Burch tote in the sale!

  42. Beth C on August 10, 2020 at 1:10 pm

    The moonlight dream pajamas in navy!

  43. Sarah B on August 10, 2020 at 1:49 pm

    Love the color and style of those Alo moto leggings!!

  44. Lindsey on August 10, 2020 at 1:53 pm

    I love this sale and look forward to it all year! I’m most looking forward to the Zella joggers in multiple colors and the Barefoot Dreams leopard cardigan to match my favorite blanket

  45. Melissa T on August 10, 2020 at 2:07 pm

    I love love love the classic black sheath dress. My husband and I are finalizing our adoption for our two kiddos from foster care next month and I’ve been looking for something to wear for the court date. It’s perfect and classic and elegant.

  46. Meghan Alexander on August 10, 2020 at 2:08 pm

    Love this sell! Already have a few items on my wishlist…That
    Tory Burch Crossbody Bag is one of them!

  47. Jill on August 10, 2020 at 2:16 pm

    I’ve got my wishlist going for the sale! I would love a pendant necklance, with F for my son’s name. Such a fun giveaway!

  48. Anne on August 10, 2020 at 2:17 pm

    The leopard boots would be on my wish list. I like that they would either go with black or brown which is a huge plus!

  49. Becky on August 10, 2020 at 2:19 pm

    I want the gray leopard barefoot dreams cardigan. It’s currently sold out

  50. Stephanie on August 10, 2020 at 2:26 pm
