I hope you had the happiest of holidays. I have been enjoying the company of wonderful friends and family and have been off work this week.
Nordstrom has a really great post holiday Clearance Sale going on. It looks like they’ve abandoned the old format of “Half Yearly” sales and are doing 6 sales aligned with holidays now.
I perused the online selection and I noticed a few items of note:
Proenza Schouler Small PS Courier Crossbody bag
This cute bag is on sale for 60% off. Kind of trendy, but you don’t often see Proenza Schoulers on sale at all.
Nordstrom has all Giraffe at Home pillows and throws (and curiously, 1 robe) for 20% off. These are so unbelievably soft! I treated myself to one over the summer during the Anniversary Sale. The Anniversary Sale pricing was only marginally better at 25% off and didn’t include the pillows and some of the prints, so this is a great opportunity to pick up one of these classic throws.
Hope you’ve had an excellent Thanksgiving weekend! It is Cyber Monday and there are some awesome deals online! Here’s where I’m shopping today.
Nordstrom is doing extra bonus points for card holders. Double Points (aka 4 points per dollar) for Level 1 fashion rewards members and 10 points per dollar for Level 2-4! Woohoo! Ten points per dollar equates to 10% back as a Nordstrom Note! I bought some Corso Como boots, some Hue leggings and a Kiind of Parka.
Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids are both having Free Shipping days! Advent calendars are now 40% off so I picked up the Telluride Advent Calendar for our family! I’ve been waiting for this guy to go on sale for awhile now!
Anthropologie is doing Free Shipping today and 20% off sale items. I’m going to browse the sale rack this afternoon for dresses.
Hanna Anderson is doing Free Shipping today and 15% off everything. My friend told me about their amazing training underpants for toddlers so I am picking up some of those!
By now most of my Anniversary items have all arrived and I have had time to try them on and decide which ones are the keepers and which ones will go back.
I did my Anniversary shopping both in store and online, though mostly online since my daytime hours are rather busy trying to balance work and being a mom!
I loved the Pleione Mixed Media tunic. It is pretty generously sized but I love the relaxed look. It comes in a ton of colors and in both regular and petite sizing. I have it in this purple color as well as the pink and I think the pink is a little too bright. I am going to exchange it for a grey which I think will be more my style.
I love this Ted Baker London coat, but it is rather pricey so I’m debating with myself on whether or not I need another wool coat when I already have 2. Hmmm… This one is dressier than any my other coats. I love that it isn’t too heavy and is super soft. The coat runs a bit small. I typically wear a size 0 but I found the 0 to be quite snug and I had a little bit of trouble doing up the buttons at the waist.
I tried this top in store and it ran super duper small, but once I sized up I thought it was very cute. Be careful not to go too large though, as the lace cutouts on the side might be too revealing!
What did you get at the sale? Did you find a ton of great stuff like me, or was it a bust?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started this morning. It’s like Christmas in July for me. This is my favorite sale every year because a) I love Fall fashion and b) My size is available in everything! Woohoo! 🙂
Because I’m a Nordstrom card holder I already shopped on the first day of Early Access but I couldn’t resist picking up a few cute items for my daughter this morning.
I am a sucker for quilting and I think the hearts quilting is adorable. My little one loves wearing hoodies so I think this will be great for the fall.
I thought this color blocked dress was super cute with its peter pan collar and gold buttons. I try to get my little one 1-2 “nicer” occasion dresses per size and we don’t have anything in 24 months yet, so this is perfect. It is at a great price point too!
Any other Early Access shoppers shop again? Find anything else cute for toddler girls that I should be looking at? 🙂
Nordstrom card holders have already been able to shop the sale for over a week, but everyone else has had to wait. If you missed out on snagging that Chloe Marcie Hobo, 3.1 Philip Lim Pashli or anything else you were coveting, you will be able to try again tonight as Nordstrom typically reserves some stock for the first day of the public sale. Card holders also get double points on all purchases.
Here are the items that I have heard rave reviews about. Even though I already shopped the sale for myself, I’m kind of debating whether or not I want to get anything else!
The Zella Live In Leggings and Capris are some of the highest rated items on the Nordstrom website. The Leggings have over 1000+ reviews with 95% of people recommending them and the Capris have over 500+ reviews with 93% of people recommending them — including me! The leggings are also available in Plus sizes–something that some competitors (cough cough Lululemon) don’t offer.
I own several pairs of the capris and I *love* them. As their name implies, you can literally live in them all day long, anywhere and everywhere.
The Natori Feathers bra has gotten rave reviews from over 200+ people on the Nordstrom site and tons more from other Specialty Bra Fitting Websites. One of the reasons is because it comes in a wider range of sizes than normal (though admittedly, the extra range comes on the smaller band scale). This is one of the few bras that comes in a band size 30. I tried this on at the store and it was a great bra (though I ended up taking home a Chantelle instead). I am thinking I might order one of these since it did fit me well.
I own a few of these in the skinny strap camisole style. I wear them under all of my semi-sheer work blouses. I have basic black and nude and that seems to work great for me. These also have great reviews on the Nordstrom site, with around 90% of people recommending the tanks. A racer back style is also available, and all the styles are available in Plus sizes.
Another item that gets a ton of great reviews is this North Face jacket. 95% of the 62 people who have reviewed the jacket on Nordstrom.com say they would recommend it. It looks super warm and super light. As I’m getting older, I’m finding that both warmth and the weight of the jacket are super important. I don’t reach for my heavier jackets as often because they are a pain to carry!
This is one of the items that I’ve read about from fellow bloggers that is a MUST BUY! It is supposedly super comfortable and a snuggie that you can actually wear in public (even though the model is pictured in her underwear). Haha! It is currently sold out (one of those items that went SUPER FAST!) in my size.
This is another super popular and well reviewed item on the Nordstrom site. For Anniversary, Nordstrom is offering the expandable version. Looks like it is very versatile and from what I’ve heard, this one is made in France.
Will you be shopping tonight at midnight? I might take a quick peek and see if I can pickup that Barefoot dreams cardigan since it is currently sold out 🙂
