One of my favorite days of the entire year has arrived! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now live for all cardholders! If you’re not a cardholder, it’s not to late to become one (learn more here). Otherwise, the sale opens to the public next Friday, July 20th! The sale can be a bit overwhelming (so many great items!), so I’m sharing what I think are the best finds along with what will likely sell out quickly.

I’m breaking down my 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks by category below. The categories currently include Women’s Clothing, Women’s Shoes, Women’s Accessories, Beauty & Fragrance, and Home Decor. I’ll be back over the next few weeks with other top picks. I’ve also included a few hot items below that I either currently own and love or that I think will sell out right away! It’s not uncommon for some items to sell out before the sale opens to the public. Following are a few hot picks:

  • Caslon Hooded Cardigan – This was a top seller last year, and is back again in even more colors! I plan to grab the Heathered Gray version!
  • Caslon Tie Knot Sweatshirt– I bought this last year and it was one of my favorite tops to wear all year! Not only that, at $29.90, I plan to buy another color or two for this year!
  • BP Cardigans – Regardless of the style, these tend to sell out every single year before pre-sale even ends! That’s likely because they are so comfy, fit well, and are very affordable for long cardigans! The cocoon version and hooded version are always top picks.
  • Booties – Such a great way to get nice booties (and all other shoes) at 40% off prior to the season starting. So many cute pairs this year! I think this pair may be my favorite find so far!
  • Denim -Sizes and styles sell out quickly so order multiple sizes if you aren’t sure of your exact one! Remember there’s always free shipping and returns! This brand is my current favorite – they fit like a dream and are very affordable!
  • Barefoot Dreams products – Last year, this hooded cardigan (obsessed with the navy version that has a gray stripe on it) and circle cardigan were top sellers, and they’re back again this year! I wasn’t sure if the hype was worth it, but I got one recently and I’m obsessed! They’ve also added tons of other products including some home decor pieces (seen here)!
  • This throw will likely sell out in a hurry! It looks like the versions that sell on Etsy for hundreds of dollars!
  • This moto jacket that comes in at under $65 will likely sell out as well before public access. Such a cute one!
  • These poufs look exactly like the ones we have in our craft room that you all love so much! And there are two colors available!

Here are a few more of my favorites before we dig into all the categories more thoroughly!

My 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks. Includes top items in women's fashion, beauty, shoes, boots, and home decor!

Ruffle Sweater | Hooded Tunic | Tie Knot Sweatshirt | Skinny Jeans | Vase | Striped Rug | Capri Blue Volcano Candle | Jo Malone Scent Set | Vince Flats | Tory Burch Ballet Flats | Wedge Booties | Chunky Knit Throw | Barefoot Dreams Striped Throw | Jersey Rope Throw | Faux Agave Plant (smaller version here) | Wood & Marble Serving Board | Le Creuset Soup Pot

My love for this sale began in junior high, when I could use my hard-earned babysitting dollars to get new school clothes for the upcoming school year. The sale is unique in that it’s upcoming season clothes, marked 40% off for a limited time. It’s really one of the only things that ever gets me even semi-excited for fall to arrive 😉 Following are my top picks by category for this year’s sale.

2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks – Women’s Clothing

For whatever reason, I find my clothing color palette totally changes in the fall and I can’t get enough of warm camel, burgundy and brown tones! So out of the norm for my usual cool beachy palette! Following are my top picks for women’s clothing from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Simply click on any of the images below to learn more about each item.

Loving the pretty scallop details.
I own this is burgundy and plan to get another color or two this year! A favorite purchase of last year!
Love the button detail down the arms on this cashmere sweater! And all six colors are so pretty!
A pretty top that can be worn now and later in the colder months!
I love that this long cardigan has a hoodie!
I love the unique sleeve details.
This cardigan usually sells out every year, even before the sale goes live to the public!
Love the scallop details on this!
I’ve always been happy with jeans I’ve ordered from this affordable brand. And I love the cut of these!
Back again this year – love the fun details on an otherwise basic cardi.
Love that this is two shirts in one and can be worn without the sleeves!
Always a top seller – so cozy and I rarely hear they aren’t worth the price!
This brand makes dream jeans – and they’re affordable!

2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks – Women’s Shoes

Booties still seem to be a hot commodity this year and there are so many cute options available! I also try and buy taller boots during this sale, rather than end of season, so I can get the ones I really have my heart set on. Following are my top picks for women’s clothing from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Simply click on any of the images below to learn more about each item.

One of the few shoe items that can also be worn in the summer months!
Perforated booties are hot this year, and these are a favorite.
These are top on my list to buy this year!
So in love with this on-trend look!
I’m guessing these will go quickly! Madewell boots are always a fave!
Love that these are waterproof!
Such a great price on classic Hunter rain boots!
Love all the color offerings in these classic pumps!

2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks – Women’s Accessories

Following are my top picks for women’s accessories from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Simply click on any of the images below to learn more about each item.

A great price point if you’re in the market for a Michele watch.
I own these in white and love that they are back in even more colors! Super lightweight too!
Loving this gorgeous pebbled leather!

2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks – Beauty and Fragrance

The beauty and fragrance area is one I tend to neglect during this sale, but it happens to be where you can find some of the best deals. Especially since so many of my favorite brands are on sale this year! Following are my top picks for beauty and fragrance from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Simply click on any of the images below to learn more about each item.

2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks – Home Decor

There are a lot of cute finds for home decor this year (far cuter than any other year), and I’ve rounded up a few of my favorites. Following are my top picks for home decor from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Simply click on any of the images below to learn more about each item.

Everyone’s favorite cardi material, now in blanket form! So cozy!
If you love Pine Cone Hill, you know it rarely goes on sale! I’m loving this throw that comes in five colors!
Barefoot Dreams in pillow format? Yes please!
Loving the wood and marble combo on this serving board!
My favorite scent of all time – at the lowest price I’ve ever seen!
Amazing prices on Dash & Albert rugs – like this one in our dining room!
I’ve been wanting a chunky knit throw for ages. Now may be the time!

Once my order arrives, I’ll be sure to check back and let you know what I plan to keep, what I plan to return, and what I’ve ordered since this post as I’ve had more time to search the sale! So, what do you have your eye on this year?
