My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks

This is the practical path through the project, including the choices that stayed. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now open to all cardholders (it opens to non-cardholders on 7/28/21)! I dove into all of the sale options and have put together my 2021 picks including (1) my tried and true favorites that I already own and are part of the sale and (2) the preferred new finds I'm eyeing. Due to the popularity of this sale, some things go out of stock quickly but but if there's something that you really want, keep checking back! With free shipping and free returns, Nordstrom gets a LOT of returns during this sale so things will start trickling back into inventory – I had success snagging every out-of-stock item I wanted last year by quickly checking a once or twice a day until I found the item restocked. And with that, let's get to it… (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure available {here})

My Tried and True Kept picks

Marble and Wood Serving Board $49.90 ($59 after sale)

I was excited to see {this marble & wood serving board} back for the Nordstrom sale (it keeps going in and out of stock so definitely check back if you can't snag it right away!) – it's available in both white and ebony. I bought mine a few years ago and the past two years they've brought it back for a short time for the anniversary sale and then it disappeared for another year. I LOVE and use it all the time – you can sit it up against your kitchen backsplash as kitchen decor, use it as a pretty spot to corral a few things on your kitchen island, or go the more obvious route and use it as a finished cutting and serving board:

Natori Bras $47.90 ($72 after sale)

While bras are definitely not a typical topic of conversation on this house journal I always use the Anniversary sale as a time to buy a few new ones because there are deep discounts on the preferred brand, Natori. My go-to is the Rose Dream Underwire Bra available {here} in black, hazelnut, dark iris, and quicksilver (a finished blue/gray):

You can also look at other styles of on-sale Natori bras {HERE}. Also look at {this bra} if you need a new strapless bra – I haven't tried it but it has great reviews!

Bliss Plush Throw $24.90 (after sale $39.50) - Only Certain Colors

I have two of these Bliss Plush throws that you can find {here} and they're just as soft and settled as they look!

They come in a ton of colors and machine wash beautifully. Whether it's for your own home, a Christmas gift, a dorm room, or even your pet, it's the best time of year to pick up a few on the cheap! Note that this year the sale isn't for every single color so check the price as you click through the color options.

Pavé Stud Earrings $49.90 ($98 after sale)

Two years ago I bought these Pavé stud earrings in “Platinum” found {here} and they have become one of my go-to pair of earrings. They can easily be dressed up or down for everyday wear. They would also make a nice gift:

Barefoot Dreams Cardigans and Throws

You've heard me rave about everything Barefoot Dreams for years – they make THE COZIEST sweaters, robes, and throws – The household has been buying them for over 15 years and can't say enough good things about them! Even on sale they aren't cheap but I wear the heck out of them so they're worth it to me. Some of my Anniversary Sale favorites are {this Barefoot Dreams throw}($97.90 now, $147 after sale), {this “in the wild” throw}, and this super settled Barefoot Dreams circle cardigan {HERE}($69.90 now, $116 after sale) – it's available in four colors:

Cozy Pajamas $42.90 (after sale $65)

Nordstrom's Moonlight Pajama Sets that you can find {here} are are of my favorites! They almost always go on big sale for their Anniversary Sale and every year they have new color and pattern options. There are five style options this year including this simple gray heather style:

Fringed Lumbar Pillow $19.90 (after sale $29.99)

This cute fringed lumbar pillow that comes in three color options is well suited to a living room chair that you want to pretty up while also provide some added back support while your sitting in it. It would look cute as a bed pillow too!

It does come with the fringe really matted up – once you take some time to comb and straighten it out, it's super cute! You can find this fringe throw pillow {here}.

My Kept Leggings $38.90 (after sale $59)

The preferred leggings (Zella Live in High Waist Leggings found {here}) are also on sale in four colors. They are unbelievably comfortable and are a thicker, more stretchy legging that suck you in just a bit without feeling at all suffocating. They are the first thing I grab when The household has just done all of the laundry and they're part of my typical “travel outfit” (sure miss that little face staring at me in this pic:():

There are several other styles of Zella leggings that are also on sale {HERE} including {these leggings with pockets}! And a lot of people swear by {these Spanx leggings} that are part of the sale too so they're worth checking out.
