Shop the look: dress, pumps

The best sale of the year starts tomorrow! The best sale of the year – The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 

The reason it stands out amongst the plethora of sales is because FALL pieces go on sale. Yup, next season! That is unheard of. It is a sale of the reverse order -you don’t have to wait for Fall to be over to get your hands on a much coveted pair of booties. Also, some really good summer pieces will also be on SALE.

 Here are a few things to know, so can shop strategically!

Early Access

In order to gain early access on July 14th, you must be a Nordstrom Card Holder. I never sign up for store-credit cards, but made an exception last year for the Nordstrom card. There are so many perks that it’s really worth having one. Aside from the fact that you can collect points from shopping, there is also a benefit of getting free alterations done. That is a huge perk! Besides that, the other prime benefit is that you get early access to the sale.

 Most Coveted Pieces

Come Fall and over-the-knee boots will once again become quite the rage. It will also be a good time to stock up on sweaters.

Here are the categories that I will be mainly checking out

Over the knee boots

Cashmere Sweaters

Scarves & Wraps

A good pair of Denim

Trench Coats

Active Wear

 Dates to Remember

Here are the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dates so you can plan well

July 14th: Early Access Begins

July 22nd: Public Access Begins

August 7th: Final Day of Sale

Free Shipping & Free Returns

Free Shipping and Free Returns are the best things that happened to Online Shopping. If I am unsure of a size or a color, I order the same item in a couple of size/color options.

 This is also a good time to start thinking of Christmas gifts ( I know – too early!! ) But you can truly score some heart-winning items in the NSale. If you don’t want to think of the holidays yet, think birthdays, anniversaries, house-warmings …. – and you are sure to score some sweet deals.

I will be doing a round-up of my picks in a post early next week, be sure to check back. Let’s compare notes to make sure we covered all ground =))  xo – Neha
