I Found the 19 Best Deals to Shop at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

For those of us who identify as shopping-obsessed, it’s officially the most wonderful time of the year—aka sale season. This month, tons of brands and retailers are offering major mid-summer discounts, but few sales events are as exciting as the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. For the uninitiated, the Anniversary Sale is Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year with thousands of deals across all of your favorite high-end fashion and beauty brands. Think: Augustinus Bader, Birkenstock, YSL, and more. Now through August 4, take advantage of markdowns on everything from your everyday skincare faves to splurge-worthy designer accessories.

Since sorting through 5000-plus sale items is not for the faint of heart, I’ve decided to take the stress out of your shopping experience by curating the best fashion and beauty deals to shop during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Keep scrolling for my discounted picks, including $118 off a Kate Spade leather tote bag, under-$100 Levi’s jeans, and a skin-clearing facial device.

It doesn’t get much better than $118 off a Kate Spade leather tote bag. Suitable for work, travel, or even just running errands on the weekend, the Large Carlyle Leather Tote is the carry-all bag your closet is missing. Sales are also a prime opportunity to treat yourself to pricier skincare devices, like this Solawave face-lifting red light therapy wand, and high-end makeup, such as this stunning YSL lipstick duo on sale for 30% off.

In terms of everyday essentials, you can snag these Spanx booty-sculpting leggings at a major discount. Made from sweat-wicking compression fabric, they’re as comfortable as they are flattering. Sunscreen is another necessity, and this Supergoop! set featuring a jumbo Unseen Sunscreen and full-sized Unseen Sunscreen Stick is the definition of bang for your buck.

Not one to turn down discounted denim, I’m definitely adding the Levi’s Ripped Baggy Dad Jeans to my cart while they cost less (like, way less) than $100. Nordstrom has tons of incredible discounts on accessories, too. For example, you can score $79 off this chic AllSaints crossbody bag with an adjustable strap, or add a pair of celeb-loved Le Specs sunglasses to your collection for less than $50.

Plus, it’s not too late to indulge in some breezy dresses to get you through the rest of the summer. This Madewell tank midi dress, also available in plus sizes, will take you from work to dinner with your besties—and everything in between. If you’re more into prints, this $60 pink floral maxi dress has the prettiest ruffle-sleeve detail.
