Hey, hey, hey fashion luvahs! Today is our day!! I'm sure I don't have to remind you that Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale starts today! It's the biggest sale of the year, and to put it in perspective for my hubby who's all, 'what's the big deal?' #really?? I explained it's like the Superbowl of fashion!
The Anniversary sale features all the new Fall arrivals ON MAJOR SALE until August 8th when they go up to full price. I always love seeing what's new for Fall, especially the boots and booties, faux fur vests, coats, sweaters, jeans, even workout clothes and bags/accessories and beauty. Heck, who am I kidding?! I love it all! And I really love getting a chance to buy before the prices go up.
If you're a Nordstrom cardholder #yesmaam! you can start shopping the sale NOW, and if not, get the card here. I always use my card to shop Nordstrom and you earn Nordstrom 'Notes' (cash to use toward future purchases). #winwin If you don't have/want the card, you can still take advantage of the sale starting next Friday, July 22.
Also, I'm excited to give back to you in the form of a $250 Nordstrom gift card! #loveyou! #grouphug! I wanted to make it easy to enter, so just leave a comment with what you'd choose if you win!

My Nordstrom catalog came a couple weeks ago and, at first, I wasn't too excited over what I saw. But, when I gave it a second look, so many more things jumped out at me. I tabbed and circled and made notes of what caught my eye and I'm sharing it with you today. I got to preview the sale yesterday - did you see on Snapchat (@honeywerehome)? and updated this post in blue italics after I got to see some things in person. But, a lot of it wasn't at my store, which was such a bummer! I tried on a bunch of Fall clothes too (which did seem kinda weird given it's still 100 degrees here!) and I just need to upload my pics to the blog and I'll share them with you tomorrow!
The first thing I noticed was the deep red hues; everything from lipstick to bags to boots. Such a sexy color for Fall!
MAC lipstick (lip & eye kit) now $39.50, $71.50 value
Louise Et Cie Shoulder Bag now $169.90, after sale $258 *this bag was at my store and also comes in black and a snakeskin that's really pretty. I liked how it stayed closed too, the crossbody bag I wore shopping kept flying open!
Halogen Noble boot now $109.90, after sale $189.95 gorgeous in person!
digging the laces on #1 & #4
1 | Vince Camuto Barsha Pump now $79.90, after sale $129.95
4 | Halogen Owen Flat now $59.90, after sale $89.95
These would certainly perk up your work day! They were all so pretty in person and looked very luxe. The pointy-toe tie flats come in three colors.
Leopard sunnies now $173.90, after sale $290 (definitely wanted to see these on but they weren't at my store)
Vince Camuto Crossbody bag now $149.90, after sale $228
Steve Madden Pistol bootie now $86.90, after sale $129.90
I'm loving these booties, but #2 (Rag & Bone) & #3 (Rag & Bone) look very similar to my Sole Society booties already in my closet from last year and they're still in good shape. Also, these higher end styles are still pricey even with the sale, but if you have to have them #Igetit! I'd buy them now before they go up!
1 | 2 | 3 | 4
I ended up trying on boots with a random female customer that was a hoot! We were comparing notes and offering our opinions on each other's shoe choices. She was trying on those Rag & Bone booties and they looked great on her and she said they were super comfy and she ended up buying them.
We both ended up buying these- in the same color, cognac!
Tory Burch stitched hobo bag now $349.90, after sale $525
Tory Burch tote now $349.90, after sale $525
So classic for any season, got to see these in person and the quality is superb.
The TB wallets are awesome too. $129.90 now, after sale $195
#2 Via Spiga Beckett Boot now $236.90, after sale $395
#3 Via Spiga Silvie bootie now $149.90, after sale $250 - really love this grey one and the heel on it, but couldn't find it at my store.
Do you like these shoes? Maybe I'm not cool enough for them! You can shop them here.
Agate necklace now $39.90, after sale $68
So different to see the stone on this kind of choker. Really makes a statement. Dang, this wasn't at my store either and I even asked the saleslady if she could find it but no luck. Online, it's also in green and onyx.
The #2 necklace didn't really catch my eye in the catalog, but I saw the gold version in the store and scooped it right up! It will go great over tops and also with an open collar top or button down.
Gorjana long strand now $59.90, after sale $100
Gorjana Thea Beaded Collar Necklace now $39.90, after sale $60
I really loved all the delicate Gorjana necklaces.
Elizabeth and James crossbody now $298.90, after sale $545
Looks like a great hobo bag, might be big in person, looks like it could overpower a petite frame.
Rebecca Minkoff vanity saddle bag now $254.90, after sale $425
RM can do no harm in my book. I'm seriously eyeing this bag! It comes in more colors, which I'd like to see, but you can't go wrong with a neutral. I really wanted to see this, but it wasn't at my store either!!
Lucky Brand Rozina wedge sandal now $66.90, after sale $118.95
Loving the perforated wedge here. I tried it on and it didn't fit my foot very well, like the shoe wasn't fitting close enough to my foot if that makes sense.
BP Solar Wedge now $39.90, after sale $79.95
Really curious about this wedge, looks perfect for Fall with jeans and dresses or skirts. The peep toe and tie detail are cute! Such a great price, under $40! I saw this and it looked better in person, but I didn't try it on.
Overalls now $64.90, after sale $98
Can we pull off overalls without that much leg? We'll see . . . or not, they didn't have them at my store. I might order since it's free shipping and returns.
Topshop leather biker jacket now $249.90, after sale $360
This jacket is so chic! I have this fitted one from last year (runs small, size up), but this one is more rugged and probably warmer.
AG ankle legging jeans now $163.90, after sale $245
AG is a brand I know and love, such a good price on this ankle legging jeans. Ankle length is my preferred length lately, especially with booties, so you show a little skin.
I saw these jeans and thought they looked great, but the holes are right at both knees and I like my holes in different places if I'm doing ripped jeans.
#5 Sam Edelman fringe booties now $99.90, after sale $169.95 These looked really fun in person.
# 6 Vince Camuto Feina bootie now $99.90, after sale $159.95
#9 BP Tandem bootie now $79.90, after sale $119.95
I did end up buying two great pair of booties, just not pictured here. I got these and these.
1 | Fry Molly Tassel boot now $336.90, after sale $547.95
2 | Halogen Noble boot now $109.90, after sale $189.95
3 | Vince Camuto Melya Boot now $159.90, after sale $239.95
4 | Dolce Vita Silas boot now $199.90, after sale $299.95
Love all of these!! I always have to try on over the knee boots since I'm so short, but adore the look, especially with skinny jeans, leggings and boho dresses.
I fell in love with two pair of tall boots, so I didn't try on the over the knee boots. #cantybuyeverything! I bought these and these.
1 | Ava tall suede boot now $149.90, after sale $224.95 *I bought this one!
2 | Aira knit scuff slipper now $72.90, after sale $109.95
3 | Nash Shearling boot now 119.90, after sale $179.95
4 | Shaina knit boot $112.90, after sale $169.95
If all of these UGGS magically appeared in my closet, I wouldn't complain! UGGs are seriously so comfortable.
#1 is the one I bought. I also comes in black. It fits like a dream, but does have that classic UGG shearling inside, so it's going to be too hot for a warmish day, but perfect for winter/cold days.
Caslon overdyed skinny jeans now $48.90, after sale $79
Ah, forgot to look for these!
Halogen crewneck sweater now $49.90, after sale $78
I adore this sweater! I actually have one similar that y'all are always asking about, but mine is old, so unfortunately, it's no longer available. This one is a great duplicate! It also comes in more colors and petite.
I didn't see this sweater at my store, but I'd definitely recommend it!
Voluspa now $29.50, after sale $40
Antica Farmacista now $62.90, after sale $94
Nest candle due now $50, after sale $64
Candles make great gifts for a friend or for yourself!
MAC basic brushes now $52.50, $167 value
MAC advanced brush kit now $52.50, $165 value
Bobbi Brown cheek set now $50, $92 value
Bobbi Brown eye set now $65, $149 value
Zella jacket now $49.90, after sale $88
Y'all have heard me rave about Zella for years. Their workout clothes are so well made, I've been happy with everything Zella I've purchased.
I didn't have time to look at all the departments (had to get back home and feed Jordan), so I missed the athletic wear. I might have to order this. I'm crazy for that color!
Nike Free TR6 now $74.90, after sale $100
I saw this and it was as fierce in person. Felt super lightweight and bendy too.
Nike Air Max 1 now $85.90, after sale $115
Loved these sneaks too! The mint is cuuuuttte!
ASICS now $119.90, after sale $159.95
ASICS are my first love running shoes. The navy and hot pink on this one is
Last Fall, I was pregnant with Jordan, so my wardrobe consisted of things I could fit over that baby belly. Now that she's here, I'm looking forward to dressing the non-bump! I'll be back tomorrow with a big 'ole dressing room edition of ALL the things I tried on with a detailed fit/quality descriptions!
As a fun way to celebrate the sale together, and say 'thank you' for making HWH part of your day, I wanted to do a giveaway. I'm giving away a $250 Nordstrom gift card and will announce the winner on July 21, the day before the sale opens to the everyone. I'll overnight the gift card (US and Canada residents only please) so you can get your shop on right away!
