10 Must-Buy Items Before the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Ends
I’ve been in and out of Nordstrom lately more times than I can count. Between covering the NSale, endless alterations, and picking up some things for our trip to Mallorca, let’s just say I have a pretty good grasp on what’s in store! It’s also kind of fun for me because it feels like a little like a social hour, since I spent basically my whole life there 😊 On any given visit, I run into an Instagram follower or two, plus former co-workers who give me the inside scoop. This year in particular, the Anniversary Sale was amazing — one friend said it’s the best sale in over 20 years. Now that’s saying something!
Today’s post is about the must-buy items worth grabbing before the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends. We’re down to the final week, and there are some specific things worth considering, like Nordstrom cashmere, coats and jackets, and anything from the beauty department. It’s also worth noting that new collections have just arrived, so it’s a great time to start thinking ahead to fall. I recently shared my top last-chance picks with Who What Wear (you can read the article here), and today I’m sharing even more must-buy items. Grab them while they’re still on sale!
P.S. What to do when things sell out? I always suggest putting a wrong size of the item you want in your shopping cart. Then, continue checking your shopping cart regularly (every day is not a bad idea). Since inventory is always changing, there’s a good chance your size will pop up! If you have the Nordstrom app, you can turn on notifications if your size comes back.
First, What’s New

Nylon jackets are a thing, especially red ones — and this one sold out at Nordstrom but I found it in stock here
Loving quilted jackets, and look how good this one is
Basically everything on this board is on my wish list. Love the red bag, the Gucci bag and this basket (for flowers)
#1 Nordstrom Cashmere
Lafayette 148 jacket | Paige jeans | Sandals | Madewell tote
Nordstrom cashmere is always a top recommendation, so pick up a style or two. You’ll find great essentials like an oversized cardigan, a basic crew, and even a travel wrap. The prices are really good, and the quality is amazing.
#2 Suede & Leather Jackets
Susie: AllSaints suede jacket | Mother Bookie Twist jean | Sandals | Emily: Green AllSaints jacket | Mother Bookie
Suede or leather jackets work any time of year, and I’d suggest finding a stand collar style. Super chic and perfect with your favorite jeans!
#3 Denim
Susie: Rag & Bone knit blazer | Emily: Rails jacket
If you only buy one thing from the NSale, it should be a new pair of jeans! You’ll find all the best brands and styles that will take you into the new season and beyond. My favorites are Mother, Paige, and Pistola.
#4 Beauty Buys
Bobbi Brown eyeshadow pallet | Armani liquid blushes | Flawless Filter setting spray | Setting powder & brush | Trish McEvoy set | Westman Atelier blush stick | Charolette Tilbury moisturizer | Bobbi Brown eyeshadow sticks
There are so many beauty sets available — everything from skincare to fragrance to makeup. Sets are a great value, and it’s a good excuse to try something new or stock up on your favorites (or load up on gifts). Click here to see my recent NSale beauty post.
#5 Super Stylish Boots
Brown suede | Black suede pointy toe | Paige knee boots | Light brown suede | Favorite Daughter boot | Chelsea waterproof boot
I always recommend getting boots early in the season, because you’ll have a longer wearing time. This year, consider a knee boot which is super stylish with a midi dress. I’d also recommend a basic everyday boot, something you’ll wear daily once the weather changes. Click here to see my recent NSale shoe post.
Top 5 Favorites
#1 – Vince low heel – perfect for everyday, and still in stock in all three colors
#2 – Veronica beard pointy toe & block heel – love these so much, they’re one of my top recommendations
#3 – La Canadienne waterproof boot – ideal for those cold rainy days when you just want to be comfortable
#4 – Aquatalia waterproof knee boot – also great for cold weather days, with slim jeans or dresses
#5 Margaux knee boot – love this brand, and this low heel is super stylish and perfect for long dresses
#6 Luggage
Trench coat | Rag & Bone Miramar sweatpant | Weekender bag
I was so surprised at how many luggage sets are on sale this year! I always recommend looking for a non-black suitcase so you’ll spot it immediately in baggage claim
#7 Coats: the Best Investment
Trench coat, similar | Jeans
The single best investment you can make in your wardrobe is a classic coat. It can be anything from a relaxed trench to a belted style — any coat that catches your eye. There are some great styles to choose from this year! Check out this post with my coat roundup and some new styles I just found.
#8 Don’t Forget the Guys
Sweater | Zip-up jacket | Jeans | Jacket | Sunglasses | Sneakers | Luggage & duffle bag | Cologne set | Polo sweater | Watch | Loafers
