Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Oh. My. Goodness. I’m literally marking my calendar so I can go early this year to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And boy am I excited. Last year I scored the most amazing pair of Spanx patterned tights for about half off (I’ve royally kicked myself since then for not having bought two pairs as, of course, with any pair of tights  they eventually got a snag.). Seriously, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has some of the best deals of the year. Yah, it may be too hot out to wear some tights but come fall, you’ll be glad you saved so much money and already have them in your wardrobe.

This year, I’ve already scoped out some of the finds. Though the sale doesn’t officially start until this Friday, July 17th, you can actually pop into Nordstrom at Scottsdale Fashion Square or Chandler Fashion Center and peruse some of the items that will be available and pre-purchase them. You’ll notice big gray curtains containing all the goodies in the shoe section, purse section, clothing sections, etc.

Yesterday I popped into Nordstrom at Chandler Fashion Center and already have my eyes set on a pair of BCBGeneration knee-high boots. I know I won’t be able to use them for at least another three months and am torn between the gray suede,black leather or brown leather pair, but at $50 off the regulary price, I’ll probably be snatching them up this week.

Other fabulous finds you can score at the sale? A few different styles of the aforementioned Spanx patterned tights, on sale for $28, regularly $42.

Also spotted, some super cute Marc by Marc Jacobs bags, Burberry bags and B. Makowski bags too. I fell in love with a few Marc by Marc Jacobs, in fact, it’s pretty safe to say I wanted them all. There’s an adorable orange one in the catalog listed for $299, priced at $458 after the sale.

There’s some amazing Attilio Giusti Leombruni leather riding boots for $389, priced at $595 after the sale. And these MAC Look-in-a-Box kits that I’m totally obsessed with. The sets come with a mini Zoom Lash mascara, mini buffer brush, two eye shadows, bronzing powder and a lip gloss. They’re just $60 and contain $100 worth of products.

I couldn’t actually get any images to post but for an online view of the catalogue, click here.

The Nordstrom Anniversary sale starts this Friday, July 17th for men, women and kids. Prices go up on August 3rd.
