Moody Picks: #NSale Early Access Must-Haves

OMG…you guys! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – Early Access opened up today to all cardholders and believe me when I tell you that you won’t be disappointed.  The best items and sizes will sell out quickly, so if you are a cardholder be sure to order your favorites as soon as possible.

If you’re not a cardholder and you want to get in on the fun and get some amazing deals early, then register for a Nordstrom card HERE.  You will have the option of choosing between opening up a Nordstrom credit card or debit card.  Once you have the card, then you’re ready to starting shopping.

If you don’t plan to become a cardholder and you want to wait until the sale opens up to the public on July 22^nd, then just bookmark some of your favorites for later. And remember here’s a few Nordstrom perks for future shopping trips:

• Nordstorm ships everything for free.  Returns are also painless – you can return your online purchases either in the store or mailing the return back for free.
• If something isn’t available in your size in the store or online, they will do their best to track it down and ship it to you for free! This store has the best customer service I’ve ever seen – I’ve never had a bad experience. 
• With Nordstrom Rewards, you earn 1 point for every $1 spent and once you earn 2000 points you get a $20 Nordstrom Note to use on future purchases. 

Anyways – here is my first round of must-haves from the Anniversary Sale.  Do you have any favorites so far?  Let me know in the comments.

In The Mood: Guide To Shopping The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

We are only a few days away from one of my favorite sales of the year - the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. 

WHAT’S THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE?

I have to admit, two years ago I didn’t really understand all of the fuss over the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but now I’m completely hooked. 

The Anniversary sale is Nordstrom’s biggest sale that they offer only once a year.  They add brand new fall styles to their inventory and mark it down for a limited time.  So you can shop for next season’s on-trend fashion picks right now for seriously discounted prices.  

The prices at the Anniversary Sale are typically the lowest we will see on select items from brands like Rebecca Minkoff, Rag & Bone, Joie, Treasure & Bond, Zella, Nike and so many more.  And once these items sell out, they are generally gone because Nordstrom will only stock a limited quantities for the sale.

WHEN CAN I SHOP?

The Anniversary Sale officially starts July 22nd and it ends on August 7th.  However, if you are a Nordstrom cardholder, you can shop the sale early from  July 14th through July 21st.

Not a Nordstrom cardholder? If you don’t want to miss out on some good deals, then I highly suggest you register for one now. You have the option of choosing between opening up a Nordstrom credit card or opening up a Nordstrom debit card. I personally chose to open a Nordstrom debit card because I don’t have to worry about paying off another bill and I can still earn points. You can click HERE to get your own. 

HERE’S A FULL LIST OF IMPORTANT DATES:

July 14th | Early Access for Nordstrom Cardholders Only

July 22nd | Anniversary Sale Open to the Public

August 7th | Last Day to Shop

August 8th | Prices Go Back to Full Price

WHAT’S ON SALE?

As I mentioned before, there are select items on sale from brands like Rebecca Minkoff, Rag & Bone, Joie, Treasure & Bond, Zella, Nike and so many more.  If you want more details, then check out some of the items that are going to be on sale in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2016 Catalog HERE. Keep in mind, the catalog only shows at least half of the items that will actually be on sale! 

I love this sale because it’s the best time to start thinking about my fall wardrobe.  Here are five things I’m hoping to add to my closet this fall: a lightweight jacket or sweater coat, a pair of over-the-knee boots, a classic pair of skinny jeans, a neutral handbag and a timeless piece of jewelry.  Can't wait to start shopping!

Moody Monday – Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale

Hi sweet friends! I hope that you guys had an absolutely wonderful Christmas with your families and that you all travel safely back home.  I went to my mom’s house for the Christmas break and had a nice quiet holiday with my loved ones. Spending time with my family is always a lovely time.  We ate traditional Jamaican dishes, watched a few basketball and football games on TV, took tons of pictures and of course spent some time doing a little shopping.  Most of the shopping we did was during the after-Christmas sales. We woke up bright and early to hit up Target and Kohl's to restock my Christmas wrapping supplies and some Christmas decorations for next year. 

And since I received a few gift cards and some money for Christmas, I immediately made plans to spend them on a few gifts for myself. If any of you have gift cards or extra cash burning a hole in your wallet like I did, then the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale is the sale for you. The Half-Yearly Sale started on Dec. 26, 2015 and will end on Jan. 3, 2016 and it’s the best time to save big on those items you’ve had your eye on all year.  For instance, I’ve wanted red Hunter boots for the longest time, so I was able to snag a pair the day after Christmas. For those of you wanting to try any hot new trend, now’s the time to get a great deal.  Well, here are some of my favorite pieces from the sale.  Let me know what are some of your favorites and let me know what you bought, if anything.

Moody Picks – Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Top 12 Favorites

I previously wrote about my excitement for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale HERE, but I wanted to add a quick follow up post. I finally had the opportunity to shop in the store on Sunday and boy was I in for a real treat.  I had no idea that early access sale items were going to be sectioned off within the store. It was helpful to see all of the sale pieces in a designated space. And all of the sales associates were super friendly and accommodating. I found so many other great finds and I tried on a bunch of clothes. I didn’t get everything I tried on the other day because my bank account wouldn’t have liked that. So I wanted to share with all of you a mixture of some of the goodies that I bought and some that I sadly left behind.  I created a list for both summer and fall – so check them out below!

Don’t forget that the Early Access Sale runs until July 16^th for cardholders and the sale will be available to everyone else from July 17^th thru August 2^nd. If you don’t have a Nordstrom credit or debit card, I encourage you to sign up for one here.  Or start adding your favorites to your wish list and get ready to shop in 3 days when the sale officially starts. What are some of your favorites?
