Editor-Loved Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Items to Shop Now

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale just started, and I’m already adding my must-haves to my cart so I can grab them before they sell out. Some of my picks include my all-time favorite perfume, a work-ready Coach bag, and delicious-smelling dry shampoo. While the sale lasts through August 3, popular items are bound to disappear in a flash, so you should definitely head to Nordstrom now to shop marked-down jeans, sneakers, beauty products, and more. Check out more of my selections below to get some inspiration for what to buy. 

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Writer Picks

Coach North Pebbled Leather Tote

I think there’s no such thing as having too many tote bags, and this sleek Coach style is perfect for carrying to the office. Made of pebbled leather, the purse has a magnetic snap closure and an interior zippered pocket. It measures 13 by 14 by 4 inches, making it spacious enough to carry a 13-inch laptop. 

Chloé Signature Eau de Parfum Set

This is my favorite perfume, and I’ve been wearing it for over 10 years, so I won’t miss a chance to buy it on sale. The floral fragrance has notes of pink peony, freesia, lychee, magnolia flower, lily of the valley, rose, cedarwood, amber, and honey. It’s light enough to wear in the summer, but I wear it year-round, too. The set also includes lotion, so you can layer it with the perfume for a lasting scent. 

Spanx AirEssentials Wide-Leg Pants

If you’ve never felt Spanx’s AirEssentials fabric, you’re seriously missing out. It’s possibly the softest material I’ve ever worn. These pants are comfortable enough to lounge around the house in, yet they look polished enough to wear outside. The roomy wide-leg pants have an elastic drawstring waist for extra comfort, too. 

New Balance 530 Sneaker

I’ve been wanting a new pair of exercise sneakers, and I might pull the trigger on these. They have a foam insole that provides cushioning and absorbs impact as you run, walk, or jump. Plus, they look cute enough to wear out and about, too. “These have to be the best shoes I have ever bought,” raved one reviewer. “They are super comfortable to walk in, [and] I had no [foot] pain after walking around the city all day.”

French Connection Whisper Sleeveless Blazer Dress

This chic dress is exactly what I need to wear to work on hot summer days. The blazer-style dress has a V neckline, double-breasted buttons down the front, and pockets. It comes in three neutral colors (black, navy, and terracotta) that can be paired with heels, boots, sneakers, and more. 

Vince Camuto Casbella Loafer

Similar to easy-to-walk-in sneakers, I usually prefer flat shoes that won’t hurt my feet when walking around the city. These loafers perfectly fit the bill. You can wear the classic shoes with straight-leg jeans, trousers, and even maxi dresses. 

Frame The Icon High-Waist Flare Jeans

I love a good pair of flared jeans. These jeans are a beautiful dark wash that are easy to dress up with heels and a blouse, or you can throw on sneakers and a tee for a casual outfit. They’re made of stretchy denim (a blend of cotton, elasterell-p, and elastane) that will keep you comfy all day long.

Slip 10-Pack Assorted Skinny Silk Scrunchies

Silk scrunchies are great if you have curly hair like me, as they don’t readily get tangled in your strands like some other materials do. Instead, they slip out effortlessly with minimal breakage. One shopper said, “[These are the] best hair ties. I put my hair on top of my head all night and never have a crease.”

Converse Run Star Trainer Sneaker

Since I do so much walking on a daily basis, I typically reach for sneakers before anything else. And I like stylish pairs like these from Converse, as I can dress them up or down. The shoes feature a nylon upper with suede accents, a rubber gum sole, and memory foam cushioning. I especially like the silver colorway, but the sneakers also come in a white and navy option if you want something more neutral. 

Drybar Detox Original Scent Dry Shampoo

I use dry shampoo a couple times a week to prevent my hair from drying out from too much washing. The formula uses microfine rice powder to absorb oil without leaving a powdery residue and golden root extract to moisturize your hair. And it doesn’t just leave your hair feeling cleaner; it also makes it smell fresh with notes of jasmine, sandalwood, and Madagascar vanilla.
