OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS.
TODAY IS THE DAY!
If you are not a Nordstrom cardholder, I'm imagining it felt like A SWEET FOREVER waiting for this sale to go live.
Well, NOW IS THE TIME LADIES!
THE SALE IS LIVE!
Try to regulate your breathing and remain as calm as possible.
And let's just all agree to not talk about the two ladies that saw me taking this picture and thought I was a total wack-a-doodle.
This is a super long post (like it's even long for me), but make sure you read to the very bottom of the post because I'm announcing a SUPER FUN contest that you are all going to want to know about!
The winner will get a $250 Nordstrom gift card....and you will get it in time to shop the sale.
You're welcome.
Today I'm going to try to make shopping as easy as possible for everybody who hasn't been able to shop until today. I will link to my previous posts, I will highlight some of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES from previous posts (just to make sure the post is as user friendly as possible),
AND I will of course highlight some new items too.
Some really awesome new items.
Today's post is supposed to serve as a reference guide.
If you don't like a picture, just skip over it and head to the next picture!
Like I said yesterday, think of me as your Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Tour Guide.
I can think of nobody better equipped for the job.
And rest assured, there is no need to be nervous, because you are members of the Inside Scoop Group after all. And we've got this.
Before we get started, I would like to share a quote that I saw on instagram yesterday.
I thought it was fitting.
NOTHING HAUNTS US LIKE THE THINGS WE DIDN'T BUY.
#truth
First up, the new items.
Y'all. THIS top.
It's leather.
I'm not sure how you launder leather, but I'm thinking I don't even care.
BECAUSE IT'S HAWT.
For size reference, I was wearing a small.
And listen, please pay no attention to how it is styled online. What in the world?
$98.90 / After Sale $168
It's expensive, because it's LEATHER.
Yummy.
Click HERE.
I LOVE and ADORE this top.
THIS tweed jacket.
THIS. TWEED. JACKET.
Because it's tweed.
And it's navy.
swoon
For size reference, I was wearing a small.
I caved and ended up showing this on facebook last night, so you might have already seen it there.
This jacket was sooooo cute with jeans and my NEW MUST HAVE SHIRT.
I also think this jacket would look great with just a simple grey or white tee.
And as great as it looks with jeans, it's also nice enough to be worn with a pencil skirt or suit pants. It would probably even be great over a little black dress.
It comes in both navy and black, but I preferred the navy!
And again, please pay no attention to how it's styled online. The navy is with a gingham shirt?
I just don't understand it.
$98.90 / After Sale $148
THIS JACKET IS AWESOME. BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD.
BUT IT'S TWEED.
AND NAVY.
Seriously loving the navy with the leopard belt and my abalone Kendra Scott earrings (c/o Jewelry nut Auctions, also available HERE at Nordstrom.
Click HERE for the tweed jacket.
And THIS jacket was definitely a favorite find that you are seeing for the first time today!
It is lightweight and not bulky at all.
This jacket would be soooo easy to throw on with jeans, with work-out gear, whatever!
AND LOOK AT THE LINING. HELLO!
For size reference, I was wearing a small.
Instructions online say you can just wash it at home on cold and just tumble dry on low. SCORE.
$109.90 / After Sale $168
Click HERE.
This is a great jacket. A REALLY great jacket. And at a fantastic price point for what it is!
THIS floral quilted front sweatshirt would be so comfy and cozy all fall and winter.
$58.90 / After Sale $88
For size reference, I was wearing a small.
I really liked the little contrasting cuff on the sleeve.
Click HERE.
Have you peeps heard about THIS bra before?
I just learned about it, but I'm all ready singing it's praises. BRA-LELLUJAH! See what I did there?
Now listen, even though I've just recently purchased it, I'm going to go head and call it life-changing.
Hands down...the most comfortable bra I have ever had the pleasure of wearing.
It has molded and lined cups (but no real padding) and underwire. Just the way I like it
$44.90 / After Sale $68
Click HERE.
Look at the back of it! Look how delightfully comfy it looks.
I have on a Celebrity Pink jacket on in the picture below, and it comes in several different colorways.
THESE jackets are soooooo cute and super reasonable.
For size reference, I was wearing a small in the picture...but it was way too small.
I tried on the large at Northpark, and it was way too big.
There wasn't a medium in stores, but I'm certain it would be just right.
I felt like Goldilocks.
$57.90 / After Sale $88
Click HERE.
I love a good plaid. And I love a toggle.
I've received several e-mails in the last couple of days asking if I could try on some REAL leather jackets. In store they didn't have many left, but I did find a couple!
THIS grey hinge leather jacket (also comes in brown saddle) was so pretty.
For size reference, I was wearing a small in this picture, but a medium would have been better on me.
It's lined and has a hood. And the leather was so soft.
$218.90 / After Sale $328
Click HERE.
THIS jacket from Treasure and Bond totally caught my eye too.
For size reference, I was wearing a small.
I thought it was maybe too big for me when it was unzipped....but when I zipped it up, I realized I could not have gone any smaller.
The color is gorgeous, and I love all the zipper detailing.
$218. 90 / After Sale $328
Click HERE.
When I was leaving Northpark on Tuesday, I decided to swing by the bags one more time.
And I found THIS black one with the chain straps from Michael Kors.
OH MY. It was....It IS..BEAUTIFUL.
The chain detail makes it fun and edgy, and the leather is oh so soft.
$265.90 / After Sale $398
*I also was really excited about THIS Michael Kors tote! *
This tote is TIMELESS and soooo functional. And it comes in 5 colors.
And the $151 price tag right now is amazing! If you've been looking for a GO WITH EVERYTHING bag that is classic AND reasonable. I think this might be your bag.
$151.90 / After Sale $228
I saw THESE tall boots across the shoe department and immediately went for them because they have a wedge heel. (If you remember, my boots from last year had a wedge heel and I was am obsessed with them.)
They were the only wedge heel in a tall boot that I saw in store.
$159.90 / After Sale $239.95
Click HERE.
But when I was looking for the above link, I found THESE online.
GIRLS!
THESE ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
and then LOVE some more.
If you are looking for a wedge boot, these are well-priced and look fabulous!
$126.90 / After Sale $189.95

If you were hoping to score a pair of great designer jeans during the sale, check THESE out.
They are from Rag and Bone. For size reference, I was wearing a 28.
$159.90 / After Sale $253
Click HERE for the jeans.
And if you are interested in the striped oversized sweater, click HERE.
The sweater was so soft and felt luxurious. For a sweater anyway. Ha!
THIS NEXT ITEM SURPRISED ME.
I tried this on ONLY BECAUSE I had received requests from you ladies to feature some dresses in the sale. And sometimes I do what I'm told.
#rarely,butsometimes
Well, I'm glad I listened to you ladies, because THIS DRESS ROCKS.
Plain and simple. It rocks.
$99.90 / After Sale $150
For size reference, I was wearing a 6.
Click HERE for this Michael Kors colorblock herringbone dress.
Could this be the perfect dress?
Find this lace trimmed pencil skirt HERE.
Again, I only tried it on at your request. I don't believe I've ever owned a pencil skirt, but if I worked a regular office job, I think I would own several. They are so flattering and a little sexy!
$49.90 / After Sale 78
For size reference, I was wearing a small.
Click HERE.
And listen, if you DO wear pencil skirts, click HERE to see all of the pencil skirts
included in the sale.
THIS was a cool little find and comes in 4 colors.
It's super soft and totally easy going, but it looks totally put together!
The reviews provide good information, so read them if you are thinking about adding this to your closet. I felt it was very flattering when not zipped up, but when it was zipped up, it kind of hugged curves and highlighted my jeans waistband.
Still, it was super soft and if you just want to wear it open, you will LOVE it.
$44.90 / After Sale $68
Click HERE.
People were going crazy over THIS at the sale.
I didn't really get what all the hype was about, but soo many ladies loved it I thought I would include it today.
$129.90 / After Sale $198
Click HERE.
Some other things we haven't talk about yet, but that readers have e-mailed me about that you too might be interested in.
Zella work-out gear for women HERE
Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bags HERE (including the backpack!)
Northface on sale HERE for the whole family!
LaCoste for men and boys found HERE
And now, a review of some of my favorites that I've previously posted.
I'm posting them again on this post in hopes that this post will be as user friendly for you as possible.
First and foremost, you need to HAVE TO get the new MUST HAVE shirt.
And you need to get it in black.
And that's an order.
I know it might look like nothing special, but it will probably become one of the 3 most worn items in your closet, and you will LOVE it with every fiber of your being.
Click HERE for the updated MUST HAVE shirt.
$37.90 / After Sale $58
It's a bit more fitted (which I LOVE!) than last year's MUST HAVE shirt, and it has some cute gathering detail up by the shoulders.
It runs big, so size down.
I'm wearing an x-small. Fyi, I also wore an x-small in last year's shirt for comparison.
I am only getting black (and not any other colors) because I think all of the other colors will show too many wrinkles.
Click HERE for this shirt that I will be wearing ALL FALL AND WINTER LONG!
My other shirt will be so happy to have a break! :)
(Sidenote: my shirt arrived all balled up and super wrinkled. I immediately threw it in the dryer and 98% of the wrinkles came right out.)
This is me before walking out the door on Tuesday to head to Northpark.
My first packaged arrived on Monday with my new MUST HAVE shirt.
And I was wearing it Tuesday.
Cuz I love it.
If you want other outfit details, here they are:
jeans-sold out, similar leopard belt HERE (and it's on sale!) nude patent flats HERE,
kendra scott drusy necklace c/o Kendra Scott HERE , pave bar necklace c/o Gorjana HERE,
rebel pendent HERE
I'M NOT SURE IF THESE GOT RE-STOCKED OR NOT, BUT I WANTED THIS IN THE POST WHEN IT WENT LIVE
(If not restocked, I will take this off the post when I wake up!)
I received lots and lots of blog comments, e-mails, and facebook messages yesterday about items in the sale, but BY FAR the most e-mails and blog comments I received were about the blardigan.
One reader (Hi Darcy!) left a comment on last night's post saying she bought 6 as Christmas gifts!
GO DARCY!
Others have e-mailed me after receiving theirs saying things like "Heaven sent" and "why in the world did I wait so long?" and "I'm never EVER taking it off."
I know. I get it.
That is the cocoa/midnight on the left and the cocoa/white on the right.
I really liked both colors!
Click HERE.
$59.90 / After Sale $90
Buy them for every single lady in your family for Christmas. TRUST.
I PROMISE YOU you will never find a softer piece of clothing.
You will wear it at home, and you will wear it out. You will be so happy to have it.
And if these babies didn't restock, I am SO SORRY.
But listen, just save up and pay full price for the color of your choice HERE.
I promise you that you will never regret having spent the money.
OKAY Y'ALL!
I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!!!!
I BOUGHT FRYE BOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've wanted them for 3 years, and LOVED the idea of them, but every time I went to try them on I didn't love them enough to buy them. Something was always off.
But this year THESE BABIES became mine.
I cannot even tell you how comfy they are, AND OH MY GOODNESS they are just what I was looking for. Such a great boot! I am so excited!!!
I found them to be true to size.
They are definitely a splurge....but I just threw caution to the wind and am sooo happy I did!
$259.90 / After Sale $387.95
I'm for sure going to be glad when I see them full price in the fall!
Click HERE for my Frye boots.
These are the same Frye boots....but I just wanted you to be able to see the detail!
LOVE. THESE. BOOTIES.
In fact, I think these may be my favorite find UNDER $100!!!!!!!!!
These are great little booties and I have NO DOUBT that I will be wearing them all the time.
With everything.
I tried on tons of booties (all were WAY more expensive than these), and I ended up liking
these the best!
True to size and super comfy!
I got the chocolate/chocolate.
$79.90 / After Sale $119.95
Click HERE for the booties.
I've received TONS of e-mails about these too, and every single person that has e-mailed me LOVES them! I just love hearing from everybody!
Look at how fun THESE Steve Madden boots are!I mean HELLO. The back is QUILTED!
And the color totally spoke to me. It's yummy.
If I didn't finally get my beloved Frye boots (shown later in the post), I probably would have purchased these!
However, they were a bit hard to get my jeans into. Not because they were too tight, but because they don't unzip all the way. They will be GREAT and easy to wear with leggings and tights, but depending on how tight your skinny jeans are, it might take a little bit of work to get them tucked in properly so they don't scrunch.
But I'm thinking they might be worth the extra effort, because DARLING.
$133.90 / After Sale $199.95
Click HERE.
Click HERE for the short sleeve version of the MUST HAVE shirt!
Lots of different color combos to choose from!
For size reference, I was wearing an x-small, so order a size down.
$29.90 / After Sale $48
Click HERE for this Herringbone print v-neck pullover.
For size reference, I was wearing a small.
It has lace detailing down the sleeve and was just so pretty!
HOW CUTE IS THIS SHIRT?
$44.90 / After Sale $68
Click HERE.
Click HERE for the spike hinge bracelet and the knotted hinge bracelets.
I feel like these are the perfect bracelets to add to your stack in the fall!
$17.90 / After Sale $28
Click HERE for the gold MK watch.
$166.90 / After Sale $250
Y'all. I LOVE THIS NEXT FIND. LOVE it.
LOVE.
Fingers crossed it was re-stocked.
Click HERE for this Bebe Knit and Faux Leather Hooded Moto Jacket.
I loved it when I was trying it on, but I didn't pay attention to how much it was.
(To be honest, the dressing room was SUPER hot and I was about to pass out when trying on these jackets. I think I would have freaked had I looked at the price tag.)
And then when I was writing this post, I went to look for the link.
AND OOOOOOOOOOOOEMMMMMMMMMMMGEEEEEEEEEE.
I can hardly believe the price.
$79.90 / After Sale $129
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? $79.90?
Click HERE.
For size reference, I was wearing a small, but I ended up ordering a medium just to try (because they ran out of smalls). Hope it works!
Isn't the jacket greatness?
I mean, for $79.90 I think it would be almost ridiculous for me NOT to get it.
Just think of all the money I'd be saving!!!!! :)
Click HERE for a Michael Kors version of the above jacket that is real leather if you prefer that.
Click HERE for what might be the biggest surprise of the sale for me.
This top comes in several different color combos, and you can get 2 for $60 (regularly $48 each).
They don't look like they are in the Anniversary Sale when you look online, but they were in the anniversary sale tents in the store, so I'm guessing the prices will go up after the sale.
I loved them with my jeans below, but they would also look great with shorts and sandals, or dressed up with suit pants and heels!
They are very flattering and hide a multitude of sins! ALWAYS a good thing.
For size reference, I was wearing an x-small, so I suggest you size down unless you are looking for a very generous fit.
Click HERE.
Mine already arrived in the mail, and they were in a soft package and rolled up in little balls.
AND LISTEN. I opened them up and they looked PERFECT. Not a wrinkle in site.
I AM A FAN.

Now listen. If there is something I talked about previously that you didn't see in this post, go back and review the posts since last Thursday.
Just click HERE and just scroll back through the posts
To jog your memory, the previous posts include Kate Spade bags, Kendra Scott jewelry, a pair of jeans great for skinny boots, skinny cargo pants, coat choices, cheetah Nikes, Dooney and Bourke bags, a leather dress, a cute v-neck sweater with elbow patches, leopard heels, a military jacket with a fur hood, fringe scarves, etc.
COMPLETE YOUR ORDER NOW (if the computers are slow because they are jammed with people, just give them a minute and it will sort itself out), AND THEN COME BACK TO READ THE REST OF THE POST!
Okay, now it's time to talk about the contest.
If you've been a long time reader, maybe you remember last year when we did the Score Report!
Well, it was hugely popular, so we're bringing it back!
Click HERE to see how much fun we had last year with it!
Basically, I ask all of you to send in pictures of yourselves in your favorite Anniversary Sale finds.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU SCORED!
In the e-mail, please include the item # too so I can link to it in case other readers are interested.
I plan on making collages of like items, and then putting all of it on the blog!
The winner will be randomly chosen by the Random Number Generator.
What will the winner get?
Well, that's easy! A Nordstrom Gift Card Of Course!
A $250 Nordstrom Card!!!!
How does it work?
You send in a picture just like the one from Sarah below (Sarah is a sweet reader that has been following along since the beginning!) and you are entered into the contest!
You can have as many entries as you'd like!
Now listen, I don't want dressing room pictures. I want pictures of people in items that they already purchased, it's only fair that way.
Click HERE for the Caslon blazer on Sarah.
She says it was her favorite purchase from the sale!
$38.90 / After Sale $59
Click HERE.
You can have 1 entry...or you can have 17 entries...because you can get a separate entry for every single thing you bought at the sale!
Send the pictures to: pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com
Please put "Score Report" in the subject line.
You can start sending them to me immediately (in fact, please do! I hope to start getting some very soon from cardholders that have already received merchandise),
but the deadline is July 29th at 10:00 p.m.
I hope to include ALL pictures on the blog in collages on August 1st.
However, let's be honest, it depends on how many pictures are sent in.
If it gets to be too much, not all picture will make it to the post, but ALL pictures sent in will definitely be counted as entries!
Ooooh! I have another idea!
Why don't we all use the hashtag #ptmtnsale to highlight our items on instagram!
Make sure you tag @pinteresttoldmeto also so I don't miss any of them!
SO, what are you waiting for ladies?
SHOP! SHOP! SHOP!
And then send me your pictures via e-mail!
AND insta your pics for fun! #ptmtnsale
xoxo,
Sheaffer :)
p.s.
Monday's post is going to be lots of fun too!
You all saw this pic on instagram, so you know I've already started receiving some of my awesome picks! This weekend I'm going to play around with styling some of my new stuff, and I'll share the pics with you on Monday!
p.p.s.
If you have already shopped and received your items,
leave comments saying what your favorite items are!
Even if you've already e-mailed me about your love for an item, please leave a comment here too!
It really helps other readers to see what the masses are liking instead of just relying on my opinion!
