It’s here you guys! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2017 is live to cardholders!!!!! I’ve been working on this Ultimate Shopping Guide for over a week now, so I really hope that you will be able to use it as a one stop shop for all things Nordstrom Sale! It’s a very very long post and very very detailed, so I hope that you’ll grab a cup of coffee and and read through for all of the best deals, my top picks and lots of fit details! Here’s how I broke my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale shopping guide down:
*Each Category has a Top Picks mood board with all of the best of the best items on it and all are shoppable just by clicking on the item!
*Under that are video try ons, showing you how the product looks, feels and wears…along with styling tips!
*From there, you can scroll down and get one more look at each outfit as well as links to shop each piece!
*Also, down at the bottom, I’m calling out my absolute TOP PICKS from categories that I won’t deep dive in to today…mens, kids, home and beauty! Stay tuned for more in depth posts on those categories because the items *typically* don’t sell out on the first day, so we have some time to talk through them.
Note that there are a few of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks that aren’t online yet…I will add them in as they become available!
If you didn’t see yesterday’s post, make sure to read it as well for some helpful tips when ordering online!

Ahhhh what did you love? What did you buy from this awesome Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? Stay tuned for lots more coverage as we really just skimmed the surface, but it was definitely a good start to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2017! If you are on Instagram, make sure to tune in to my Instastories this morning as my mom and I will be doing a live try-on session!!!
Thanks so much for trusting me to help you shop, it’s one of my greatest joys! I would love for you to share this with your friends and family!!!! xoxox
water was clear, crys
#cutetex
Great job! You look cute in everything!
Thanks so much, Kathy! You are always so sweet!
Girl! This is amazing!!! LOOOOOOVE the videos! You’re adorable!! This was so helpful – thanks!
Kailey! Yay! So glad that you liked it! xo
So….maybe I am challenged. Or sleep deprived. Or both. But I cannot find the open lines v-neck tunic sweater. And it doesn’t look like it’s linked here. Where can I find it? It looks adorable on you!
Girl- so sorry! This went up on Nordstrom’s site so late. It’s there now
Mallory, thank you so much for putting all of this together, it’s a lot of work I know. You look beautiful in everything.
Thank you so much Jackie! It’s my favorite post of the year! xo
Thanks so much- sent you an email with a question. Thanks for the videos! Already bought TOO much before 8:00am!
I cannot tell you how much you made our day today, Melissa! LOVED meeting you!!!! xoxo
This is great – everything you picked that I love is already sold out tho! Hopefully they restock items throughout the sale?
Also, how tall are you? I’d love some over the knee boots. It I’m 5’9″ so worried they will be a bit shorter on me
Taylor- I think we discussed on Instagram? If not, I’m 5’9 too so everything I’m wearing will definitely work on your lengthwise! xo
Thanks for this awesome review! I love your picks. Jeans and sweaters are on my list but you’ve got me thinking about that suede jacket!
Jeans and sweaters are so smart! But this suede jacket is definitely a trend piece to consider
Really, really grateful for this amazing resource!! There’s so much I’ve been wanting to write for a while (all positive) but pushing pause on that–From the Athlesiure section I cannot for the life of me find the Zella running jacket you featured and the zella cropped pants?? And the links aren’t there. Please help!!!
Hey Jessica- All of the links should be updated! So sorry, some things didn’t show up online until last night! They are both such good picks!! xoxo
Thank you! I just re-checked you blog to see if you happened to respond. I did end up finding the Zella running jacket but I haven’t ever been able to find the Zella cropped pants??
A couple of side notes…1. This was soooo helpful! I’m a health care provider w/ 2 littles and I’ve shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary sale for about 15 years but I don’t have time any more to do what you did for us–so I basically just took your recommendations and called that my shopping. Really great idea. You mentioned in one of your posts some time ago that you would have Anniversary resources so I specifically looked for them
2. I’ve been following your Instgram feed for a few months and it is super helpful! So happy to have found someone to follow who isn’t from TEXAS, has great style, and is a Momma too! I live in NC also so I’m optimistic that the clothes you choose will be more weather appropriate for our climate.
3. Hats off to you for having a baby and posting your real-bod/journey. That’s not easy. My heart goes out to us women who have all of this pressure to look perfect, have babies, have careers. Hard stuff.
I hardly can ever make the time to do things like this but felt like I owed you a thanks as you’ve helped my find things like your recommendation for the cognac purse from Nordstrom (drawing a blank on the brandname), old navy ‘workout’ clothes (some of my favorite to romp around in), and more. The price-point of things you recommend is so nice too!
I really love my job as a healthcare provider but I think I wouldn’t mind your either!
Cheers!
Jessica- this was SO kind of you to sit down and write! You absolutely made my day!!!! I’m so grateful for genuine and kind mamas like you who follow along with my little blog. Truly, this is what brings me so much joy! xoxo
So helpful! Can you link the black ruffle sleeve dress?
Great, now I want those boots! Caring for suede makes me nervous though!
You look stunning in everything. Thank you for such a great shopping guide!
Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to say you look great! I’ve been reading your blog for awhile and wanted to say thank you for rocking cute looks and setting an example for the rest of us taller ladies who feel self conscious about not being a size 0 or 2 or skinny minis. #herestosomecurves Have a great weekend
Thanks for your tips! I’m in Charlotte too and this sale has me craving fall!! Found some good items here that I will be purchasing!
