Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018: Tips and Tricks

Looking for tips to get the BEST deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018? This is a must read!

Ok, let’s talk Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  It’s almost here, and if you’re anything like me…..it’s one of your favorite times to stock up on staples that rarely go on sale and to snag some great fall items at a steal before you need them. 

Looking for tips to get the BEST deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018? This is a must read!

(all my favorite buys from LAST year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale)

Timing for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018:

Early Access: Thursday, July 12 – Thursday, July 19

Public Event: Friday, July 20 – Sunday, August 5

Remember, ONLY Nordstrom card holders get early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (and that’s the way to be sure you can snag the BEST items before they sell out).  If you don’t already have a Nordstrom card, you can sign up for one now….and be prepared to shop on day one of the sale.

< SIGN UP FOR A NORDSTROM CARD HERE >

I personally love having a Nordstrom card for multiple reasons.  Cardholders earn 2 points per dollar spent in stores and online at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, HauteLook and Trunk Club.  Those points convert to Nordstrom notes (which are just like gift cards).  You getet a $40 bonus Note when you make any purchase with us on your new card the day you’re approved.  AND if you love Trunk Club as much as I do (the at home styling service owned by Nordstrom)…..your styling fee is ALWAYS waved if you’re a Nordstrom card holder.

How I’ll Be Shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018:

Personally, I’ll be shopping the sale two ways.  I’m planning to shop online for the MOST popular items (or what I anticipate to be the MOST popular items) as soon as they’re available online.  That way, I can share with you guys as I’m ordering.  The first day of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale PRESALE? Since I’m a Nordstrom cardholder, I’ll also be visiting our local Nordstrom store.  I plan to hunt down my favorite sale items for a pear shape (last year this is when I discovered my FAVORITE jeans and they were a total steal….I’m still glad I bought them in three colors….they were the item I wore the most all Fall and Winter).  And those items? I’ll be sharing with you guys ASAP so that you can snag them too.

< Want to Shop Online? Be sure to bookmark this page, it will be the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale homepage when the items go live!>

Want to get ready for your OWN Nordstrom Anniversary Sale shopping? Well you’re in luck……I’m teaming up with a few friends to help one of you get ready to shop.

🪞Remember those magazine models we all wanted to look JUST LIKE? What if we looked at ourselves the way the teenage us looked at them? What if we curated our feeds here to celebrate women of all shapes and sizes?  What if…….we celebrated beauty in every roll, dimple and wrinkle? What if we reminded ourselves that……there isn’t one type of beauty? And celebrated it in ourselves and each other?⠀

HOSTED
I did it.⠀ ⠀ 🛏I spent Saturday night blissf I did it.⠀
⠀
🛏I spent Saturday night blissfully alone at a local hotel.  And now? I want to talk about it.  I was floored by the varied reactions when I mentioned doing this last week.  A lot of people seemed to love the idea, but a solid amount? Asked why.  Said it was a waste.  Said it was “too much”. So let’s unpack that.⠀
⠀
🛏First of all, of course different things are of value to different people.  This may not be of value to you and that is OK.  For me? After a year of staying at home here in California (and yes, it’s still going here with full time virtual school for Lydia)…..I felt like I needed an evening alone to decompress, to rest, and to be more present for my family.  I watched a million episodes of Scandal (how did I never watch this show??), got take out delivered, slept in, and it MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.⠀
⠀
🛏Does it make me a bad mother? A bad wife? Irresponsible with money or time? To spend an evening alone? That’s sort of what society tells us, right? And truth be told, I almost cancelled.  Was it too much? Was I being dramatic? Or ridiculous?  But the refreshed me today? Says it was just what I needed.⠀
⠀
🛏This is your daily dose of encouragement to take care of yourself and put your oxygen mask on first so you can truly be present for those you love.  I promise, it makes a difference. #troopselflove

❤️It’s Random Acts of Kindness Day…..and I have a question for you…….when was the last time you did an act of kindness for YOURSELF?⠀
⠀
💕I was talking on stories the other day about booking a hotel room to get away for a night this weekend.  ALONE.  The reaction was mixed.  Some said it was a great idea. Some said it was selfish or unnecessary. But, what if it’s simply to do something for myself?  What if it leaves me refreshed and more able to show up for those I love? That’s what kindness to yourself does.⠀
⠀
