nordstrom anniversary sale :: lauren’s picks

July 11, 2014

It’s time! For the best sale of the year!
Seriously, my favorite sale of the entire year just began! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

It’s like CHRISTMAS in JULY!

If you aren’t familiar with this sale, I like to refer to it as a “reverse” sale. By that I mean that this sale means that brand new Fall items are marked down significantly for a few weeks, before returning to regular retail prices. Every kind of fall item is on sale…ranging from clothes to shoes to handbags to accessories and home decor…for women, men and children!

If you are a Nordstrom card holder, you can shop the Early Access Sale from July 10th to the 17th. On July 18th, the sale opens to the public. {Sale goes through August 4th. Prices go back to normal on August 5th.}

There are SO many incredible deals on this sale, that it is really difficult to just pick a few. Nonetheless, here are my top picks ::

Zella Live In Leggings :: Year in and year out, these are a go-to comfort favorite of mine. The are the perfect long workout legging, and can double as a casual layering legging under tunics and long sweaters during Fall and Winter months. I have had the same pair for three years and they are still going strong.

KUT from the Kloth makes awesome jeans for a very affordable price point, and these mid-rise skinny jeans have proven to be a favorite of Edit clients {of all shapes and sizes} year after year. I especially love the deep-blue wash this season.

Those of you who are Edit clients and/or who follow this blog, know that a Boyfriend Blazer is at the top of my “must-have” wardrobe staples list. I LOVE this super soft and comfy blazer by Caslon…it’s less that $40, and a staple you can start wearing early-fall through late-spring! It will go with everything. If you don’t have a blazer like it, I recommend first getting black. If you already have black, I recommend the olive, camel or burgandy. {I recommend ordering one size down in this since it is stretchy and you want a slim fit.}

If you are looking for an all-around versatile pair of riding boots for Fall, this pair is per-fect! {Comes in four different colors.}

You faithful followers also know that I have ~~small~~ huge obsession with fur vests during Fall and Winter. A client tried on {and purchased!} this one while we were shopping today and it is truly an obsession-worthy piece. I love how it’s asymmetrical front to back!

I mean…these are just FAB! And wearable starting now, right through the Fall…

I LOVE Zella workout jackets, and this one is perfect for year-round wear, and super flattering, too! It comes in several great colors.

This Marc by Marc Jacobs Hobo purse is timeless and classic, and, in my opinion, this color {called cement} is a perfect shade for year-round wear. If you are looking for a purse to carry daily, with everything, look no further!

These are some of the very best, simple, classic riding boots I have seen in years. You just can’t go wrong with getting Frye boots on a super-sale, either!

Sometimes there is nothing better than a simple, soft sweater in cool weather. This one by Trouve is a must-have layering staple, perfect for wear alone or layered under a vest or jacket, paired with skinny jeans or leggings.

Kendra Scott earrings on sale? Yes, please! Available six new-for-Fall colors.

I think every woman should own a pair of leopard-print pumps, and love this pair. A great not-too-high heel {wearable for the office, for daytime and with jeans}, and an awesome price point!

I am a huge fan of Paige Denim, especially the “Skyline” style, and this is a great-fitting straight leg pair, that looks good both cuffed or worn straight.

This wedge bootie is as stylish as it is comfortable. {Also comes in black.} I love that this bootie will look equally fantastic with skirts, dresses, pants and jeans…truly versital!
