Early Access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has started!

Early Access for the Anniversary Sale has opened and I've taken a quick look around and here are some of the standout items!  Don't forget, you must be a Nordstrom card holder to shop Early Access.  You will earn double points on all Anniversary merchandise between now and July 17th.  The public sale starts July 18th and everyone will be able to shop starting then!  Happy Shopping! :-)

Chloe Medium Marcie Leather Hobo

Chloe Medium Marcie Hobo
How much do I love this bag?!  I absolutely adore Chloe and I've been thinking really hard if I want to order this bag or if I want the satchel.  Both are beautiful and for anniversary, this one is 30% off.  That is a huge savings on a beautiful designer Chloe bag.  Decisions, decisions... :-) 

Vince Drape Neck Leather Jacket


Vince Drape Neck Leather Jacket
This looks like a super cute leather jacket. Vince is one of the most popular contemporary brands these days.  It seems like everyone is talking about them!  Leather jackets seem to be the big thing for this sale and I think this one is really beautiful.  I would bet this will go fast!


kate spade new York Manhattan Map Wool Scarf

How cute is this scarf?  I adore kate spade stuff, even after it went mainstream.  I think this just has the right amount of whimsy!  Love it.

Burberry London Double Breasted Trench Coat

Burberry London Double Breasted Trench Coat
The Anniversary sale has featured the slightly cheaper Burberry Brit trench coats in the past.  I don't recall that in recent years a Burberry London trench has been part of the sale, so this is a great opportunity to snag a timeless Burberry trench at a sale price! 

Chanel Dentelle Precieuse Illuminating Face Powder

Chanel Face Powder

I've heard that this is a Nordstrom exclusive item that is SURE to sell out.  It's not part of the sale, but it was brought in especially during this time.  Looks too beautiful to use!

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Wishlist

Less than a week to go and I'm putting together my shopping list for the 2014 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!  Early access begins July 10th and I cannot wait!

Here's what I'll be shopping for:

Attilio Giusti Leombruni (AGL) 'Oval' Wedge Pump

http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/attilio-giusti-leombruni-oval-wedge-pump-nordstrom-exclusive-women/3714048
Attilio Giusti Leombruni Oval Pump


I bought my first pair of AGL flats last year and I *love* them.  I wear them all the time with everything and everywhere.  I'd like to add something with a short heel as an option for days I want to look a little taller.  The shimmer suede looks really pretty in the catalog.

Aquatalia by Marvin K 'Obsession' Tall Boot

Aquatalia by Marvin K 'Obsession'
I've been looking for a tall black boot with a low heel to wear with leggings/skirts in the winter and I think this pair looks great.  It is made in Italy so I am expecting the boot to be well made as well.

Halogen Faux Fur Trim Twill Jacket


http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-faux-fur-trim-hooded-twill-jacket-regular-petite/3671712
Halogen Faux Fur Trim Twill Jacket

I've been looking for a casual jacket to wear in the winter.  I love that there is a hood and that it comes in petites!  I will definitely be checking this one out and have my fingers crossed that it will fit!

Zella Live In Capri Leggings



Zella Live In Triple Play Horizon Colorblock Capri Leggings
I've mentioned these leggings so many times before, but I can't say it enough.  I love them love them love them!  Quite honestly, I don't *need* any new ones since the ones I have purchased in the past are still looking great and aren't worn out at all.  But I don't know if I will be able to resist! :)

Bras & Undies



Wacoal Embrace Bra Honeydew Keyhole Hipster Panties Natori Feathers Bra
Nordstrom has the best selection of bras & undies particularly if you are in size that is not very common.  The Wacoal Embrace bra is available from 30D-38G and the Natori Feathers bra is available from 30D to 36DDD. 

Laura Mercier Flawless Expressions Set

Laura Mercier Flawless Expressions Set

I'm debating whether or not I need some new makeup.  I think I would use almost everything in this set, which is rare for me.  I love Laura Mercier makeup so perhaps I'll check it out in person and decide then.

See you at the sale!


That's it for my list. I will definitely be checking out TBD, BP and Point of View clothing as well but nothing really jumped out at me in the catalog.  I am sure I'll find some great things in person though!  What are you getting at the sale?  Any must haves that caught your eye already?

Premier Designer Handbags at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

I finally got information about the Premier Designer Handbags that will be going on sale for the 2014 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  The sale traditionally includes a very limited number of pieces from a few designers.  The information is closely held and the bags will go FAST!  They typically sell out on the first day of the sale!

Here's what I've found out will be included in the sale. 

Chloe - Marcie Medium and Large Leather Hobo

My understanding is that the Anniversary Sale will feature the Medium in Nut, Black, Cashmere Grey and Arecola. The Large will only be available in Nut. I really wish the satchel were going on sale this year but alas it isn't!
Chloe Marcie - Medium Leather Hobo Chloe Marcie - Large Leather Hobo

3.1 Phillip Lim - Pashli Mini & Large

My SA has told me that two blush Pashli will be on sale as well as a 2 toned colorblock version of the Pashli. I'm not crazy about the blush, since I'm sure I will get it dirty in no time. Perhaps my SA was wrong and it will be available in black too? :) ...wishful thinking!

Zella Picks at the 2014 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

The 2014 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a great time to stock up on Zella athletic wear!  Zella is Nordstrom's house brand, but it is top quality goods.  Many people even prefer it to the pricier Lululemon gear.

Here are a few picks from the upcoming sale!  Remember, the sale starts July 18th for the general public and July 10th for cardholders.

Zella Essential Jacket
Sale Price: $64.90 for color block and $58.90 for solid colors



Zella Live In Leggings 
Sale Price: $37.90 for cross-dye and $33.90 for solid colors

I think these are the #1 deal of the sale.  The price point is amazing for the quality.  I own several pairs and they all have held up great over countless washes.  Many people say these are really similar (and perhaps better than) Lululemon Wunder Unders.

Zella Run Vest
Sale Price: $78.90


Zella My Run Layer Half Zip Top
Sale Price: $44.90


Zella Live In - Perfect Run Print Capris
Sale Price: $44.90 -- not sure if this is the price for the print or solid leggings


Zella Easy Hooded Top
Sale Price: $37.90


Zella Live In - Triple Play Horizon Colorblock Capris
Sale Price: $33.90


Zella Pretty Hoodie
Sale Price: $49.90

Zella Double Time Print Sports Bra
Sale Price: $31.90
