how excited are you guys that the nordstrom anniversary sale is finally HERE?! i just pulled an all-nighter (seriously!) to bring you the very BEST of the nordstrom anniversary sale: early access. the early access is for card-holders only, but if you don’t have a nordstrom credit or debit card yet, i highly suggest you get one! you can do that TODAY which is awesome because if you spend $100 the day you open your card, you will get a $20 nordstrom note in the mail. and nordstrom card holders who shop the sale during early access (july 10-17) will get double points!! i love having a nordstrom debit card because it means NOT having a credit card i have to worry about paying off, but i can still earn points.
my picks from the nordstrom anniversary sale early access are based upon two criteria: either i’m obsessed/freakingout/inlove with the item, or i’m predicting a HIGH sell out risk. and things do sell out during early access of the nordstrom anniversary sale, especially the baby stuff. so, let’s get started.
