I started this Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post before I left London and spent every day this week trying to finish it to no avail. As much as I love traveling, it really throws me off my game so I’m happy to be home so I can get back on track. But because I’ve posted so late, it means that the everyone will be able to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale on Monday, July 17 when it opens to the public. But Nordstrom credit card holders can shop now.

I feel like the sale which is on brand new merchandise, much of it for fall, is much better than it has been in recent years. It’s especially good for men since so many of the items are classic pieces perfect for men who need a wardrobe refresh or perhaps recent graduates going off to college soon. It’s a great time to get a fall coat at a good price or stock up on your favorite beauty buys. The best part is that there is something for everyone.

Who couldn’t use a camel Double Breasted Wool Coat for fall? It’s also available in grey and black.

I don’t love puffer coats but I’ll make an exception for this chic navy Quilted Coat. It also comes in black.

This Wool and Alpaca Blend Jacket would be a great transitional jacket for fall and also comes in a pretty neutral color.

This olive green Barbour Quilted Nylon Jacket would be a great update to any man’s wardrobe also comes in navy.

Send a student off to college with this Polo Ralph Lauren Assorted Five Pack Woven Cotton Boxers or gift them to the man in your life.

Someone asked me a good shoe to pack for wet weather and I always say leather sneakers. The top Cole Haan GrandPro Tennis Sneakers are a chic option and women in London even wear white sneakers with long midi dresses. The bottom Cole Haan GrandPro Low Top Sneakers for men would be a great update to dad sneakers.

Not everything is for fall and you could wear these Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Slide Sandals right now.

When I was in London, I wished I had brought a black flat to wear with dresses when there was a chance of rain or a little sprinkle. I may have to buy these Square Toe Ballet Flats. They also come in a neutral suede and ivory leather.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a good time to replace things or upgrade them. I love these women’s Prada Cat Eye Sunglasses and men’s Carrera Polarized Rectangular Sunglasses.

These Beis bags sold out just as I was writing this post, so I suggest checking back to see if they come back into stock. Someone might return them too. As an alternative, these is a hot pink Vacay 20-Inch Spinner Suitcase and matching Future 30-Inch Spinner Suitcase if you want to jump on the Barbiecore bandwagon. You can find other brands and colors of suitcases on sale here.

These Longchamp Le Pliage Neo 18-Inch Nylon Travel Bags are great to pack in your suitcase to use to bring back souvenirs when you travel.

I’ve owned this 10X Lighted Mirror for years and regret that I didn’t pack it for London since I forgot that London hotels don’t have outlets in the bathroom. That means you have to dry your hair in the room and the mirror isn’t always conveniently located. I will definitely be packing it for every trip in the future.

The price of the Dyson hairdryer is a bit steep so if you are looking for something more reasonably priced, this T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer is part of the Anniversary Sale.

Now that I’m back from traveling, I can’t wait to get back to my skincare device routine which includes the NuFace Trinity+ Smart Advanced Facial Toning Device System. It and the NuFace MINI+ Starter Kit is also part of the sale.

I always stock up on Kiehl’s Creme de Corp jumbo bottle during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It’s my favorite body moisturizer.

The jumbo bottle of my favorite self-tanner, St. Tropez Self Tan Express Mousse, is also on sale for a great price during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

I just ran out of my travel size Augustinus Bader Rich Cream so it’s the perfect time to get this Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream Duo.

This Westman Atelier The Getaway Edition Set would be perfect for travel this summer. I’d also add on the Petite Lit Up Highlight Stick Duo since it’s hard to find the petite sizes for traveling.

This Bobbi Brown Luster and Glow Eyeshadow Palette and Mascara Set is a great deal for this many shadows.

This Le Labo set already sold out and I am honestly too tired to redo my collage so instead, I recommend the Diptyque Eau de Parfum 3-Piece Travel Discovery Set instead. It’s also a good time to remind you not to dawdle or waver on ordering something you want because things do sell out quickly.

Happy Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Shopping!

XOXO,
