The highly anticipated Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here, and we are bursting with excitement over all of the incredible deals and savings within this year’s lineup. While Amazon’s Prime Day is a great opportunity to snag big ticket tech and kitchen appliances, Nordstrom’s annual event is fantastic for designer clothing, accessories, home goods, and beauty. Whether you’re shopping for trendy summer outfits, purchasing a new coat for the upcoming fall season, or getting ahead of holiday shopping, this is one of the best times to shop at Nordstrom, since thousands of rarely-on-sale brands will be heavily discounted for the next couple weeks.
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale opens to the public at 12:01 a.m. on July 17 through August 6, with ambassador cardmember early access beginning on July 12 and influencer cardmember early access starting July 13. However, you don’t need early access to preview all of the discounts and start planning your shopping cart. In fact, we highly recommend you bookmark the items you want so you can add them to cart as soon as possible—stuff sells out fast.
Is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale worth it?
The Nordstrom sale is definitely worth it. Not only can you find amazing discounts and exclusive deals on seasonal summer items such as Supergoop! sunscreen, trendy tennis dresses, and travel bags, but you can also utilize this sale to stock up on fall essentials like designer jeans, jackets, and boots at a fraction of the cost. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is also one of the best times to shop for home and kitchen items and get a head start on holiday gifts with so many amazing discounts on candles, candy (we love the Sugarfina Sweet & Sparkling 8-Piece Candy Bento Box), throw blankets, and more.
Since Nordstrom tends to carry higher-end items, this sale might not necessarily mean you’ll snag things for super cheap. However, you’ll definitely find some amazing discounts that you won’t see most other times throughout the year, including deals on Dyson cordless vacuums and hair styling tools. It’s also one of the best times to shop for fine jewelry, as Nordstrom carries several amazing brands and offers over $1,000 off some jewelry pieces.
We scoured the Nordstrom marketplace for the best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deals across several categories. Here are our top picks.
The best Nordstrom deals on shoes

Dr. Scholl’s, Time Slip-On Sneaker — $65.00
Was $100, now $65
It’s no secret that Dr. Scholl’s makes some of the best comfortable shoes around—but you don’t have to snag an orthopedic shoe that looks like an orthopedic shoe. For a supportive and stylish everyday sneaker, we love the Time Slip-On Sneaker, which is originally $100, but on sale for $65. This sneaker comes in three different colors and is designed to absorb impact for extra comfort and support. Whether you’re walking all day long at Disneyland, or taking ’em on a stroll with your pup, your feet will be so, so happy.

Vionic, Estilo Lug Bootie — $100.00

Looking for a comfortable pair of booties for the fall season? Consider the Vionic Estillo Lug Bootie, which comes in black, gray, and dark brown. These comfortable fall boots are also on major sale right now, with $70 off the original price tag. Boots have the tendency to prioritize style over function, but these lug boots do both: they provide wearers with arch support and cushion while looking fashionable as heck.

Zigi, Nikole Ankle Strap Platform Pump — $100.00
Was $200, now $100
The Zigi Nikole Ankle Strap Platform Pump features one of the most popular silhouettes of the year. We love it because it comes in a bunch of different colors—including classic black leather, crisp white, and nude—and has an adjustable ankle strap for extra support. Plus, it’s a whopping $100 off during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale event. While heels are normally painful, this platform option gives feet so much more support and comfort.
Sizes available: 6-11

The best Nordstrom deals on bags
Dagne Dover, Ace Water Resistant Belt Bag — $66.00
Was $95, now $66
Belt bags are the best fuss-free purses for summer—and we absolutely adore this style from Dagne Dover. The Ace Water Resistant Bel Bag is constructed from a neoprene-like fabric derived from recycled materials, is water resistant (as the name suggests), and has lots of pockets and compartments for essentials inside. Whether you take this to the water park or get stuck in the rain, all your stuff inside is staying safe and dry. It’s comfortable, lightweight, and excellent for casual, everyday wear.
Colors: 1
Longchamp, Extra Small Le Pliage Neo Nylon Top Handle Bag — $155.00
Was $215, now $155
As Bethenny Frankel might say, this gives “ritch b*tch” energy—without spending all cash. Longchamp is one of the most iconic bag brands around, known for its quality and timeless style (hello, quiet luxury). While this bag is on the small side, it’s great for the basics (keys, wallet, phone, passport, lip balm), and we love it for running errands or date night. If you want to get your hands on one for a discounted price, you can find the Extra Small Le Pilage Neo Nylon Top Handle Bag on sale for $155—a rare deal, indeed.
Colors: 1
Béis, The Weekend Duffle Bag — $81.00

This bag features plenty of space for your essentials and tons of pockets and organization details, including a separate bottle compartment for shoes, a padded laptop sleeve, and a trolly pouch for easy carrying. If you want to upgrade your travel, this weekend bag is the best place to start (and yes, it’s compact enough to stow under an airplane seat).

The best Nordstrom beauty deals
Supergoop!, Play Sunscreen Set — $68.00
Was $102, now $68
Supergoop! Play Sunscreen is a staple in our skin-care routine. We love the large 18-ounce bottle, which helps ensure we apply enough sunscreen every time we leave the house and comes in handy during pool and beach days, too. Incredible for all skin types, this sunscreen is so luxurious-feeling, it’ll make you feel excited about re-applying every two hours. Valued at over $100, you can get the large pump bottle and a full-size 5.5-ounce squeeze tube for just $68.
Dermaflash Ultrasonic Pore Extractor & Serum Infuser — $66.00
Was $99, now $66
The Dermaflash Ultrasonic Pore Extractor & Serum Infuser is an ultrasonic device designed to unclog pores and promote better absorption of skin-care products. And trust us, it is soooo satisfying to use. As you run the vibrating blade against blackheads, you can literally see the gunk getting extracted from your pores. While it will usually set you back around $100, the beauty device is on sale for only $66 during the Nordstrom sale.
Nécessaire, The Body Wash Duo Set — $35.00
Was $50, now $35
For those who love a luxe body wash, we are obsessed with the Nécessaire Body Wash, which is a gel-oil cleanser that removes dirt and debris while nourishing the body skin. Ingredients like glycerin infuse skin with hydration, while niacinamide nourishes the barrier—so while it does help scrub away dirt and oil, it doesn’t completely strip the skin. The end result? Clean, but soft, supple skin all over. During the anniversary sale, you can score two bottles in a set for just $35.
NuFACE, Trinity+ Smart Advanced Facial Toning Device System — $265.00
Was $395, now $265
If you’ve had your eyes on a NuFACE device, the Nordstrom sale event is an excellent time to purchase one. This device sculpts and tones your face and jawline in minutes, and gives incredible, celeb-backed results over time. The NuFACE Trinity starter set typically costs around $350, so definitely an investment, but you can get one along with the brand’s Hydrating Aqua Gel Activator, Firming + Brightening Silk Creme Activator, and an applicator brush for just $265.
Vacation, Leisure-Enhancing Sunscreen Summer Sunscreen Duo — $28.00
Was $41, now $28
The internet’s favorite vintage-inspired sunscreen brand is also participating in the Nordstrom sale this year and offering shoppers a pretty sweet summer duo. This set from Vacation features the brand’s classic sunscreen along with its Chardonnay Oil for a sun-safe glow that costs less than $30. You’ll be happy you got both—while the classic sunscreen is an easy-to-blend-in lotion (that smells like childhood), the Chardonnay Oil is a luxe formula that leaves your skin glistening and dewy. We’ve worn both formulas on vacation and can attest they’re worth every penny.
Sunday Riley, Jumbo Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Exfoliating Face Treatment — $185.00
Was $284, now $185
The Sunday Riley Good Genes serum is one of our all-time favorite anti-aging formulas. The formulation is meant to give you an overnight treatment with truly transformative, next-morning results. Basically, it’s an in-office derm treatment in a bottle. And, while this product is definitely an investment, the price is well worth the results. During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, you can purchase an exclusive jumbo 3.38-ounce bottle, which is valued at $284 and on sale for $185.
Too Faced, Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara Duo — $39.00
Was $56, now $39
One of the best things about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the makeup sets created exclusively for the event. This year, you can get the Too Faced Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara in a duo set for under $40, which is over $15 in savings. If you’ve never tried Better Than Sex, run, don’t walk. This stuff gives you dramatic, Bambi lashes that look fake they’re so long and thick.
Dr. Dennis Gross, Collagen Boosting Essentials Set — $455.00
Was $641, now $455
Treat yourself to a state-of-the-art at-home facial with this Collagen Boosting Essentials Set from Dr. Dennis Gross.

Was $225, now $154

This one from Riki Loves Riki features magnifying capabilities and LED lights for getting your glam on, plus it can easily be used to take videos and selfies. Usually, this device costs $225, but you can find it for $154 during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
The best Nordstrom deals on haircare and styling tools
Dyson, Airwrap™ Multi-Styler Complete Long — $599.00
Was $660, now $599
The Dyson Airwrap is one of the best hair styling tools around (I seriously don’t know what I would do without mine). It’s beloved (and has reached cult-like status at this point) for its multiple, easy-to-use styling tools, but it’s the heat tech that really makes it stand out from the pack: Dyson is known for creating the best-in-class hair tools that quickly dry and style hair with minimal damage—the Airwrap included. If you’ve been eyeing the luxury hair tool, it’s a great time to buy it as the Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Long is on sale for $599 at Nordstrom.
Slip, Pure Silk 10-Pack Skinny Scrunchies — $44.00
Was $65, now $44
We love silk scrunchies—they don’t cause breakage and rarely leave a crease. However, the best ones can run a high price tag. To save on silk scrunchies, consider adding the Slip Pure Silk Skinny Scrunchies to your Nordstrom shopping cart. These come in a pack of 10 for $44, which is around $20 in savings.
Olaplex, No. 4 Bond Maintenance™ Shampoo — $77.00
Was $96, now $77
If you swear by Olaplex shampoo, you don’t want to miss out on this deal. The No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo comes in a large 33-ounce bottle valued at $96, and it’s on sale for just $77 at Nordstrom this month. Folks love the formula because it strengthens and nourishes even the most damaged of strands. You can also stock up on the larger-sized No. 5 Bond Maintenance™ Conditioner for the same price.
R+Co, The Summer Hair Set — $68.00
Was $102, now $68
Summer hair, don’t care! Give your shower a summer refresh with the help of this Summer Hair Set from R + Co. Even if you plan on going to the pool every single day, the chlorine and bleach is no match for this hair revitalizing set. The set features full-size bottles of the brand’s coveted Television Perfect Hair Shampoo, Television Perfect Hair Conditioner, and versatile Cool Wind pH Perfect Air Dry Créme. Valued at $102, this set is now just $68.
