Happy Nordstrom Anniversary Early Access!! It’s that time of the year again. One of my favorite stores having one of my favorite sales. If you’re not familiar the #NSale is not your typical sale. It’s a reverse sale so instead of getting spring/summer on sale, these are the upcoming fall fashions on sale. We put together our top five lists, most of which have already been purchased, to help you narrow down the 4k+ finds included in the sale.

My Top Five Picks

I admit, it’s hard to think about fall while I’m sweating just thinking about going outside and then there is the whole seven months pregnant thing – so my shopping bag has more accessories than clothing items this go around. Of course, I’ve already found tons of great pieces for clients. I’m just going to have to live vicariously through their purchases this go-round.  ;-)

  1. I’m on a mission to add interesting studs to my jewelry box. Don’t worry, I’m never given up my statement earrings but for the splash pad, coffee mtg, and play date scene, it’s nice to have an interesting but perhaps a little smaller option. These Kate Spade earrings are $20 and are the perfect size (they are much smaller on than they look online and here!)
  2. I love everything about this dress except that I can’t wear it right now. The colors, the very on trend overlay, the fit. It’s perfect for so many events and is less than $100!
  3. One of my go-to purchases every #Nsale is the MAC Look in Box kits. This year is no exception. You are going to see *tons* of berry tones this coming fall and this lip shade is the perfect compliment.
  4. Another one of my go-tos, the Voluspa and Diptyque candle sets. They are a great deal and perfect for those thinking-of-you and hostess gifts you need throughout the year.
  5. I am OBSESSED with these boots. I bought an over-the-knee black suede boot last year that I wore the heck out of and when I saw this burgundy pair FOR JUST OVER $100, well. You can see I had no choice. They look amazing on and the heel is just block enough to be on trend without being the version you’ll pitch in a few seasons. It’s also more of a mid-heel rather than a sky-high height you usually see with knee-high boots. One note, I’m not convinced the calf circumference online is correct. I was able to fit in them comfortably and I assure you my calf is bigger than 14″!

Rachel’s (The Intern!) Top Five Picks

  1. This T3: Featherweight Luxe 2i Hairdryer is seriously one of the best hairdryers on the market. At $139,It speeds drying time, and leaves hair soft and shiny from its internal ceramic unit. It is also really quiet. Having $61 knocked off, makes buying this hair dryer a no-brainer.
  2. I always try to buy a pair of jeans during the anniversary sale, because they always on trend, and always well-priced. These Seven for All Mankind jeans have a rich dark wash for fall, as well as a flattering shape and cut. They’re under a $100 too, which makes them quite a steal.
  3. Not only is this a great price for a silk dress, but it is a really great price for a Rebecca Taylor dress. It is multi-seasonal, with the deeper colors and lightweight floral printed fabric. This dress has a nice flared cut and fitted waist, which is flattering on most body types.
  4. If you already have the beloved Clarisonic cleansing brush, then these replacements are a must-have. Nothing compares to these Clarisonic brush heads. They have several options to suit every skin type. Because they usually retail at $27 a piece, it’s easy to see why these are such a great deal at $74.
  5. Sam Edelman makes the most comfortable flats that wear really well. These flats come in suede, which is incredibly trendy right now. Since they are less than $70, they make they perfect trendy buy. The color choices are really great, too.

 

Kate’s (The Tiny Intern!) Top Picks

Let’s face it, baby girl is opinionated. Of course she wants to be included in the shopping round-up!

  1. Sequins and Tulle? Need I say more? This brand runs a hint big so consider that when buying!
  2. Layers on tiny people is one of the cutest things ever. Kate *loves* wearing vests and this super soft adorable hoodie option is great for our Houston “winters.”
  3. Kate has literally used these Aden + Anais blankets her entire life. They swaddle well, are perfect for warmer weather, and hold up through a jillion washes. Plus I challenge you to find a baby shower registry that doesn’t include these!
  4. “Oh, bright! Glasses?” Accessories make an outfit. Even for little people. ;-)
  5. Kate gets compliments on these sweet shoes by Melissa every time she wear them. They are adorable and fit her not-so-narrow feet well. Added bonus – they smell great!
