It’s almost the weekend, the sun is shining, and the Nordstrom Anniversary Pre-Sale is LIVE…it’s like Christmas morning and my birthday all rolled in to one!! I’ve been stalking the catalog for two weeks, drooling over all the Fall goodies, and counting down the days until some of them could be mine.
I know it’s a little crazy to think about Fall clothes in the middle of a piping-hot Summer, but here’s the deal…this isn’t an end-of-season sale, it’s all the cute, new stuff coming out next season, and it’s temporarily marked-down. It’s the stuff you’re going to lust after a few months from now, except then, it will all be full-priced! See? Like Christmas morning!
I’ll be checking it out online today, but here’s what’s caught my eye already…
I’ve been buying ponchos and wraps for years, but always the inexpensive ones…considering how often I reach for one during the cooler months, I’m thinking it might be time to invest in something that feels as good as it looks! Who said clothes can’t feel like pajamas?!
Jeans are a great staple to check out during the sale…especially designer brands. I’ve been wanting these jeans for awhile, but could never bring myself to pay the premium price for them…so I’m all over them now! They come in black, too.
This was the first shirt I added to my cart this morning (yes, I placed an order before publishing this post…I learned that the hard way!)…so many color and pattern options, amazing price, and perfect for work or weekend! I also know this brand to run really big, so I ordered down a size. (The favorite long-sleeve version, perfect for leggings, also in the sale!)
This is my favorite brand of leggings, and I’m excited to try the denim-looking ones. I know these to be really comfy and thick, and also included in the sale.
I’ve drooled over these pajamas in-store many times…they’re insanely soft, but so pricey! With the sale price though, I think they’re going on my Santa (in July) list!
Zella is hands-down my favorite brand of lounging exercise wear, and I always add a new piece or two every year during the sale. My favorite pants and jacket are also included in the sale.
Lean Tank ~ everything Zella brand will sell out fast!
Who says loungewear isn’t even cuter paired with jeans?!
This one is for my mom…she’s a longtime Clinique fan. Considering how amazing she looks, maybe I should consider switching, too! Either way…here you go, Mom!
I’m most excited about the boots and shoes available in this year’s sale…I always take advantage of the amazing prices now, then pat myself on the back in the Fall when the prices are back up. Over-the-knee boots have been big for several seasons, and look to be still holding strong. I’m really excited about these, too.
These peep-toe booties have been on my wishlist for years…I can’t believe they’re actually included in the sale! I’m fairly obsessed with this pair, as well.
I resisted rain boots for years thinking I’d hardly ever wear them. Now I can’t imagine not owning rainboots….they are my most-worn boot since they come in perfect for Spring showers and Winter snow and ice.
And lastly, I also use this sale to stock up gifts for the upcoming school year and Christmas. This candle trio is one of my favorites…I gift it as a set, or break them up as three individual smaller gifts.
This is just a drop in the big ol’ Christmas in July bucket….there are tons more sale items available online for cardholders here. And for the non-cardholders, the sale goes live to the public later next week.
In the meantime, I’ve updated the Sugarplum Picks page to include my top sale finds, along with my current season favorites that make frequent appearances in my daily outfits. I’ll update it frequently, and you can find it anytime in my sidebar. So who’s shopping the pre-sale with me? What’d you get? I’d love to hear what you’re finding and loving! Happy shopping, lovebugs!
Love seeing the fall stuff. But, it's back to school time for 5 kids, so this girl isn't getting anything new for awhile!!
The leggings got me! I signed up for the debit card and ordered 2 pairs!

Always such an exciting sale! I ordered a few things!!
OMG….soo many great things…my shopping finger is itching now…cant wait until my lunch break! LOL! Those Vince Camuto booties…I DIE!!
I ordered those in khaki. But I almost got the gray, too!!!
I'm totally with you on the designer denim! That first poncho would make a great Christmas gift!
I love the striped sweater but the link doesn't work. By chance do you know the supplier?
