The 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is LIVE… First Look Favs

Whoever said bloggers don’t work was seriously disturbed… name that movie–haha!! Anyways, back to the issue at hand… it’s LIVE online friends and it’s bigger and better than I’ve ever seen. I’ve been up since 3AM, working to  finalize my first online order and finish this post, and I might have already consumed 3 cups of coffee, but who’s counting right?!?! It’s like Christmas in July over here [or the best early birthday gift ever] so here is my play-by-play of this year’s first look favorites [and what I have already ordered online]:

1 Lash Split Shaft Booties $99.90 [after sale $159] I grabbed the Camel color, but love the Brandy, too

2 High-Low VNeck Sweater $37.90 [after sale $58] Give me ALL the stripes! This classic and a bit oversized sweater will be on repeat all fall… three colors and under $40–this is sure to sell out friends!

3 Spanx Faux Leather Moto Leggings $72.90 [after sale $110] | no explanation needed… you HAVE to have these

4 Barefoot Dreams Cozy Cardigan $88.90 [after sale $134] I kicked myself for not grabbing this last year, so it was the first item I added to my cart this morning

5 Venture Out Plaid Shirt $32.90 [after sale $49] hello lumberjack chic! Never enough plaid button-ups for fall and this pattern won be over

6 Wubby Fleece Pullover $51.90 [after sale $78] everyone went CRAZY over these last year, including myself, so grab it NOW on sale before it’s gone

7 Nike Air Max Thea Sneakers $78.90 [after sale $105] I was on the hunt for some new tennis shoes, and I was thrilled when I found these when searching the shoe sale this morning–lightweight, gray and on sale–WOO HOO!

8 Lace Trim Satin Camisole $22.90 [after sale $35] scored a few of these during last year and they are perfect essential tanks that can dress up any ensemble

9 Madewell Cali Demi Boot Jeans $84 [after sale $128] If you’re on the hunt for the perfect modern flare with a crop silhouette, these are AMAZING… I have a previous season style and was thrilled when I saw these were on sale… FYI, I size down in their jeans for a more fitted wear

10 Sam Edelman Caprice Knee High Boots $149.90 [after sale $224] YES… major score this morning and they are going crazy quick already!!! I grabbed the Caramel Suede colorway=neutral all the way so it goes with EVERYTHING.

11 Air Heart Cat Eye Sunglasses $58.90 [after sale $89] You guys know I have this “thing” for sunglasses, and these have been on my list for awhile… once I saw they were included in the sale, these tortoise shades instantly fell in my shopping bag–love the oversized style of these!

12 Baublebar Kew Crystal Collar Necklace $44.90 [after sale $68] It comes in three colors, but the Opal is hands down my favorite for adding some bling to your neck… it’s STUNNING in person!

13 Raw Edge VNeck Tee $11.90 [after sale $17] Don’t ask how many colors I bought in this shirt… it’s a staple and he fit is great for an everyday essential! 

14 T3 Grey and Rose Gold Cura Hair Dryer $134 [after sale $200] YESSSSSSSS… world’s best hair dryer and it RARELY goes on sale so hurry hurry friends–this works wonders on my thick hair and cuts drying time in half

15 Double Breasted Corduroy Blazer $65.90 [after sale $99] I wasn’t planning on buying a blazer this time, but this Rust Ginger Color popped up and I fell in love with the vintage style… it’ll be a great lightweight jacket for fall and goes with so many jeans, leggings and over dresses

16 Artis the Elite Brush Set $98 [after sale $144] I have used Artis brushes for years now and LOVE them–and the fact that this comes with the cleanser is a huge savings!! An investment for beauty, but one you’ll have for a long time.

And don’t worry, this is just the first initial round of everything Anniversary Sale… more to come I promise, but fan favorites always seem to sell out super quickly so be sure to grab your size/color/etc because restocks aren’t always guaranteed during this sale!

Now this gal is going to get dressed, drop my babies off at dance camp, and head over to Nordstrom to run like crazy to make sure I scoop up all my in -store pickup and a few other necessities we need!!
