Nordstrom Anniversary Shopping Recommendations
I cannot resist sharing my Nordstrom Anniversary shopping recommendations with you. Since I already perused the catalog, I had a good idea of the items I wanted to see up close.
Visit my prior post on Shop Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. So, today I headed to Nordstrom in Burlington, Massachusetts to meet up with a friend for a day of shopping.
Nordstrom Anniversary Shopping
As I shopped several departments in the store, I found some areas didn’t have anything of interest to me. When I first entered the store, I headed to hosiery, accessories, and handbags. I didn’t find anything of interest to me.
Next, I headed to the Women’s shoe department. For me, my favorite was the Stuart Weitzman bootie below. This bootie is in a beautiful amaretto and is very comfortable. Hint, hint to my hubby.
Nordstrom Anniversary Shopping for Women
From the shoe department, Rose and I headed upstairs to shop the various departments. We tried on many different items. First, one of my favorite that both Rose and I bought is the velvet T-shirt below. At the store, they only had the blue and gray color available. When I returned home, I ordered this style on-line in a pretty pink mauve color. At $22.90, this is a great item to wear now and throughout the fall and winter months.
In the same fashion, I found many more offerings and color choices on-line than I did in the store. The James Perse 3/4 sleeve faux wrap dress below is the perfect style for date night. Also, this is available in three colorways.
Although, both Rose and I found many different items to try on, we both ended up purchasing only a few items in the store.
Athleisure for Women
Since so many Women work from home and lead busy lifestyles, the athleisure trend is now a wardrobe staple. No matter what your hair color is, you will feel comfortable in the brunette or blonde heart jogger and sweatshirt below.
Nordstrom Anniversary Shopping – Lingerie
First and foremost, I always stock up on bra’s and lingerie during the Anniversary Sale. One of the most comfortable bra’s I own is by Spanx.
In addition, I bought the new Spanx style below that is available this year,
Also, I purchased the bra below. I loved this underwire style and it is designed to provide a smooth look under your T-shirts.
One of my favorite thong’s is by Hanky Panky. I’m happy to see this item year-after-year at the anniversary sale. It is available in several colors. Stock up!
Nordstrom Anniversary Shopping for Men
Of course, we cannot forget the Men in our lives. Or, perhaps you’re one of my Male followers. Because I spent a good amount of time in the Men’s department, the following styles were some of my favorites. Burberry’s signature plaid is a great addition for the stylish man.
In addition, the styles below are some other great options. The Fidelity relaxed jeans in a true black wash are a great option to wear casually or after 5.
Conclusion
Because the best items sell out quickly, I recommend shopping early. Also, something else to keep in mind is Nordstrom has a great return policy. With this in mind, you can start your holiday shopping early.
As always, I welcome your comments on your favorite finds at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Shop Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale beginning today, today’s post is about the best items to shop for. In the same fashion, I will let you know how to navigate this sale.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dates
For many of you, you may have received an Early Access date. With the Early Access date, you can shop before the sale is open to the public. In addition, you can shop in the stores or on-line.
The Anniversary Early Access date is July 13th and will last until July 20th. The sale opens to the public on July 21st and will last until August 8th.
How to Shop Early
So, if you want to shop early, you need to have a Nordstrom credit card. In the same fashion, the great thing about having a Nordstrom Visa is you get points that earn Nordstrom Notes.
Since there are many special events throughout the calendar year, you can earn double and triple points. By using your Nordstorm Visa card in the store, on-line, Hautelook and Trunk Club, you earn 2 points per dollar spent.
If you don’t have a Nordstrom credit card or want one, you will have to wait until the sale opens to the public. Or you can try to shop with someone who has a Nordstrom credit card.
Navigating the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
If you’re like me, you have already started planning what items you are going to buy. At the same time, I have already folded back pages in my catalog that I’m on the hunt for.
So, every year, my friend, Rose and I make a day of this. Because we have already perused the catalog, we have an idea of items we’re on the hunt for. In addition, many items don’t make it into the catalog and can be found only on-line. Also, there are many other items in the store that aren’t in the catalog.
Since, I cannot resist a great sale, I’m excited to start shopping.
Conclusion
To sum up, I’m off to meet Rose for a day of shopping and lunch. I will let you know my favorite items later. At the same time, be on the lookout for my follow-up post that will have the best items for you to shop. Because many items sell out quickly, I recommend shopping early.
Will you be shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary sale? What are you looking to buy? As always, I welcome your comments.

Summer Slides Biggest Fashion Trend
Summer slides are one of the biggest fashion trends of the season. Of course, there are plenty of shoe options to have fun with this season.
Last year, we saw slides rule. In the same fashion, this season’s Summer slides have been upgraded with pearls, fringe, and other embellishments.
Summer Slides
With no buckles, ties or straps needed, these slides are easy to wear. What is better than slipping your foot into something comfortable that requires no-fuss? If you’re a shoe lover, you will love these hot new shoes.
Although many of you think of ugly shower slides or the Birkenstocks, today’s slide is cool. With this in mind, any fashion style can look chic.
How to Wear Summer Slides
Slides have gotten an update from the rubber soles you may remember. For me, I like the new styles. Also, many designers have put a fresh spin on this style. They have added a heel, embellishments, novelty patterns, pom-poms and fringe.
So, you can now pair your slides with any fashion look. If you’re going to the beach or hanging by the pool, you can still find updated rubber sole slides. However, if you’re looking for something to wear out, there are many choices available. Look for something with a fresh twist, such as a metallic or in a pop of color.
Shop Summer Slides
Since everyone knows I’m the Queen of footwear, today’s post will walk you through the best summer slides. Of course, I’m obsessing about the slides from Jeffrey Campbell. This slide is sleek with its oversized pearl heel, available in black or multi-color suede. Moreover, these fabulous slides take a fashion look into after 5 giving it an edgy versatile look.
Also, the suede slides below are a must for the season. When wearing this simple slide, you can wear this casually or dress it up. Additionally, this style is made for comfort. Of course, these are on my shopping list. Furthermore, this style is available in four colors. Let me know what color you choose.
If you’re looking for a versatile slide, the style below in global hues are the perfect pattern for your feet. Indeed, this style will be your go-to footwear selection for the Summer season.
For the perfect shower slide, below is a great style clearly not just for the shower. These slides have a sporty look, while still looking super cute by Rihanna’s Fenty Puma.
Conclusion
To sum up, the summer slides are a favorite, look for the season. As always, I look forward to your comments.
