Welcome to your one stop shop to learn everything about the 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! We're talking early access, public access, how to get in when the sale drops, what items will be included, what we can expect from the sale and a MAJOR sneak peek that is exclusive to Covering the Bases!!!
When is the Nordstrom Anniversary sale?
The 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale -- early access -- starts Thursday July 12th at 3am ET!
What is early access?
Early access is for Nordstrom card members (debit or credit) to shop the sale a week before the general public. It's kind of like a week long VIP shopping event for those who have a Nordstrom card.
How do I get early access?
You just need a Nordstrom card or even know someone with the card and shop with them! If you don't have it, you can still browse online but you won't be able to buy anything until the 20th!
Is the Nordstrom Anniversary sale worth it?
I think so! The Nordstrom Sale is always a great time to stock up on some new goodies, classic pieces and snag anything you need for the upcoming year. It's like back to school shopping x100.
When is public access?
Public access will start July 20th at 3am ET and last until August 5th!
Will items still be left when public access comes around?
Maybe... Two years ago almost everything was restocked when public access came around a week later. But last year almost nothing was restocked and most of the very best deals and items were gone within the first day of the sale. Things move FAST when it opens -- I usually buy everything I want, try stuff on at home and return what I don't want to keep/whatever doesn't work.
What will be included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
There looks to be a really good amount of things this year in the sale! I was able to get an online preview of just about everything and here are a few things that stood out to me:
---My FAVORITE sports bra (that I actually snagged last year in the sale!) is back!!! And will be on sale for $45
---A TON of rag & bone jeans will be apart of the sale. There were close to 20 pairs so you're sure to find something you'll love.
---One of the things I'm hoping for is a camo jacket and it looks like this one from Rails will be included!
--For all my business women out there, this tweed Rebecca Taylor jacket will be on sale -- it will just have the white piping instead of the black!
---There are 5!!! pairs of AG jeans in the sale -- the two most notable are the Farrah and the Prima style. The farrah are what I l-i-v-e in during the winter (the most comfortable jeans I own) and the Prima I actually don't currently own but I have friends who rave about them!
---If you're in a gym rutt like myself, get ready because a ton of Zella leggings are part of the sale. I snagged a pair last year and have since spent too much on these leggings but they really are the very very best ones I own!! (I have my eye on THIS pair)
---My tried a true Patagonia pullover will be on sale in grey! This one I can see going SO quickly in the sale. These are almost never marked down!
---This pullover will be THE big seller during the sale I cannot even tell you. Snag it first while you can because this is easily the best pullover on the market.
---The perfect work bag/graduation gift/birthday present will be this Longchamp bag. I lived out of this in college and miss it dearly!
---For the fancy few, this self portrait dress will be on major sale!
---I already have these and love them but really excited to see my airbrush leggings will be in the sale!
---My favorite part of the sale every year is the selection of Eliza J dresses that are super marked down. These are my GO TO when it comes to work dresses and getting them at 40%+ off is a HUGE deal. I can't wait to see what they put out!
---And last but for sure not least, my absolute favorite makeup brand: Charlotte Tilbury will be on sale. They always add in specialty sets and I'm vvvvv excited to see what this years will be!
So that is everything that caught my eye from the sneak peek Nordstrom Anniversary sale preview I got! I also know for sure these items below will be apart of the sale since they were linked in the catalog!
