The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the best times to invest in staples and items you’ve been lusting over but don’t want to pay full price. It’s exploded over the years to a point of overconsumption, but I still think it’s worth shopping. In years past, I have bought some of my most favorite items during the same. Like my Tory Burch riding boots (that I bought over ten years ago!) and my favorite everyday bras and underwear.
Now here’s the thing. I think it’s a risk to buy fall items in July! If it’s something you know you’re going to wear a lot, then go for it! But if it’s something you think is “cute” but otherwise not head over heels, wait. Generally speaking, I find it’s worth waiting until you “need” (lol, I use that term quite loosely!) something than to buy something ahead of time just in case just to save a few bucks. Things to avoid: expensive trendy items that you’ll find replicas at in other retailers come fall (you can get it for a better price anyway!), brands that do frequent sales anyway (looking at you J. Crew & Madewell), and impulse buys (this sale capitalizes on psychologically making you feel like you need something now or you’ll miss out forever but everything actually comes back in stock and in today’s retail market there’s a good chance it’ll go on sale again).
Here are what I would consider the ten “best buys” of the sale:
NATORI FEATHER BRA
This bra has a cult following for good reason. It’s a beautiful bra that provides just the right amount of coverage and works with all kinds of fabric. (If you want a more traditional bra, I also have/love this style.)
GAL MEETS GLAM LIZA DRESS
I have last year’s version of this dress and it’s one of my favorites GMG has ever done. I am totally loving this year’s colorway and it’ll be work for more than just the fall season. Whenever I wear it, I get tons of compliments, which never hurts.
BARBOUR COAT
You know I love a good Barbour coat. While this isn’t the “classic” Beadnell, it’s close. It’s a lightweight version (so it could be extra perfect for people who live in slightly warmer climates but want the look) and has a unique floral lining. I’d personally go for the archive olive, but I’m loving the merlot as well.
HUNTER TOUR PACKABLE BOOTS
I absolutely swear by Hunter’s packable boots. In my opinion, they’re not only the most practical (they can be squished/folded into a suitcase with ease) but they’re also the most comfortable because they’re more lightweight than the originals. I find that I can wear these ALL DAY without my feet feeling heavy at all. I even climbed Arthur’s Seat in them when I was in Scotland years ago.
CASHMERE CARDIGAN
I don’t have this particular brand but I do have a similar style cashmere cardigan that I love. Even though it’s expensive, I generally find investing in cashmere to be worth it– especially with proper love and care! I wear mine year-round, bringing it with me on trips for chilly airplanes, as an extra layer for evening al fresco dinners, or layered over something cute for extra warmth on a cooler day.
SLIP SILK PILLOWCASES
While this seems like a bizarre luxury, I love my Slip pillowcases. Highly recommend. As I’ve been working to correct my neck/back issues, I have been forcing myself to sleep with pillows (which I had never really done before) and I just love how this one feels. It’s also supposed to be better for your hair and skin– but the most noticeable thing to me is how much cooler it stays throughout the night! If you’re a “Christmas in July” kind of planner, consider getting a few of these to have on hand for gifts! They’re crowdpleasers.
LANCOME BI-FACIAL
This is the only makeup remover my mom uses (she buys it multiple bottles at a time!) and she passed on her love for it to my sister and me. This has two full-sized bottles and a travel-sized. If it’s something you know you love, it’s worth stocking up!
WORKOUT GEAR
The activewear section seems really great to me. One of my go-to sports bras is included and I love the look of this crop top-esque bra as well. Lots of Zella, Nike, & Sweaty Betty.
PENDLETON RAIN JACKET
This rain jacket is as classic as it gets. The yellow is a must-have in my opinion, but the black would be a great option too if you want a traditional style that doesn’t stand out too much. (But honestly if you’re going to do the black, I would do this one with the tartan lining– too cute.)
PATAGONIA NANO PUFF
Patagonia is a great to brand to buy when it goes on sale. If you need a lighter layer, I can’t recommend the Nano Puff more. This one is hooded and a great thing to have in your closet. I love traveling with mine because they don’t take up too much space and it’s almost like a magic layer that gives you just the right amount of warmth without bulk.
WHAT AM I BUYING?
I wasn’t planning on buying anything because I did a good job stocking up on my usual things last year. But I think I may upgrade my boots (and I like the name hehe) because I realized I wasn’t wearing my black boots since they are not the most comfortable and I may get these Anthropologie dishes for our open shelving!!
GIVEAWAY (CLOSED)

I’m thinking about finally trying the Zella leggings! They’re such a good price and the positive reviews make it easier to feel confident about purchasing them. I might also splurge on the Tory Burch boots but I’m less sure about that!
I’m hoping to pick up some more mix and match basics for work. I’m a teacher and I love nothing more than easy, comfortable and professional options for work!
Love the Gal Meets Glam dress!
Great picks! Love those Natori bras, too!
loving the Gal Meets Glam dresses included in the sale!
The patagonia items are my top choices because they rarely go on sale and last foreverrrrr!
I’m excited for the Barbour coat!
I love stocking up on breast products like neulash!
I love your posts. You’re so honest and not sensationalistic. I think I will buy all the shoes!!
All the cashmere sweaters, I’m a sucker for all cashmere sweaters so this is always a great time to grab some at a discount!
I have been looking at gray cashmere cardigans since you posted yours! I’m determined to get one that I can wear in the evenings while I’m still living on Martha’s Vineyard this summer.
Tory Burch Purse and Barbour Jacket!!
I’m looking to invest in some good bras!
Those silk pillowcases look like a dream!
I’m thinking of buying the Barbour coat and a couple pairs of shoes for my mom. She turns 75 later this year and I want to spoil her a bit!
Love these picks!
I think this might be the year I buy myself a Barbour jacket!
Love your feed! I’m definitely using the sale to stock up on bras and maybe a few pairs of jeans?
I spy with my little eyes the Cashmere cardigan and slip silk pillowcase 😉
I’m stocking up on a new fall coat, workout clothes and bras- all the essentials that will last year after year. And maybe a Gal Meets Glam dress too 🙂
I’m eyeing some booties. Don’t own a pair yet!
I’ve been waiting for the color block Madewell Ryder cardigan to hopefully be restocked!! Seems like the perfect fall cardi 🙂
Thinking of buying yet again another Barbour! I loved the merlot colour
I just bought my first home too! I’m a teacher and in two weeks will be moving in and starting the school year (yikes!). I’m eyeing the Barefoot Dreams throw blankets and Hanky Pankys.
I’m eyeing the blush Tory Burch coat. Such a bummer that the Natori feathers bra is not available in all sizes this year 🙁
The Barbour jacket looks like the perfect fall piece!!
I love all the Gal Meets Glam dresses on the sale this year! Also hoping to get a few basics myself!
The Barbour Shoreline Water Resistant Waxed Jacket!!

So excited about the Barbour coats, and I think the Patagonia is perfect for travel!
I love that yellow rain jacket!
I’m thinking of getting the Patagonia Puff! Love the sale!
A new winter coat!
The gal meets glam dress!!!
I think I’m going to pick up that Gal Meets Glam dress for an upcoming wedding. Love it so much!
I love this! I picked up the Clinique Moisture Surge set, it’s the best value ever! I also grabbed some of my favorite jeans from KUT and some staple Topshop sweaters. I wasn’t loving the shoe or dress selection this year.
Love your picks Carly! You should totally go for the boots 😉 I’m eyeing a Tory Burch bag (the everly bag – perfect for a work bag!) and I like your idea of stocking up on bras and underwear.
I definitely want to stock up on some of the active wear (especially sports bras) before heading back to school!
I am moving into my dorm in DC in August so eying the slip pillow cases to stay cool (the ones in the link!!) and maybe a diptyque candle for study nights 🙂
All the cute cardigans!!
I’m planning to purchase some cashmere scarves, workout gear and a Barbour jacket for my husband!!
I’m eyeing all the cute fall booties!!!
loving the Frye boots!
I’m so excited to finally buy a pair of Hunters!
Have been looking at that yellow Pendleton raincoat!
I am loving the fall GMG dresses—they’re so classic for any time of year and some of the colors are so pretty! Just need to decide what color of the Kinsley to get!
Being a teacher (meaning I don’t get paid over the summer) and having just bought a house, I’m really trying to just focus on buying the staples this year (bras, underwear, etc.). But I also plan on buying a gift for a friend’s birthday as well!
Loving all the tweed jackets for fall!
I am eyeing some new statement earrings!
I’m eyeing all of the Patagonia stuff on sale, love their company and their clothing. I’ve been trying to get outdoors more and having more Patagonia clothing will definitely motivate me!
I’m so intrigued by the silk pillow cases – definitely want to try those!
Hoping to pick up some good basics, I haven’t looked at anything yet though.
I’ve added the SlipSilk pillow cases into my cart. I’ve been eyeing them forever and now seems like a good time! Thanks!
Great round up! And I really appreciate you mentioning that you don’t have to get something right now just because it’s on sale. All that said, I’d love to get my first Gal Meets Glam dress in the sale!
I might have to splurge on a Barbour coat! It’s been on my wish list for years but I’ve never pulled the trigger. Also love the Frye boots!
I love your picks! I’m looking at some good denim and a good jacket for cooler weather, like the Patagonia one you listed.
Christmas presents!
A new Tory Burch wallet. Love the pink shade!
There’s a fun printed Topshop dress that I think could be a solid addition to my work wardrobe.
I am eyeing some pajama sets. I love that you have coordinated pjs and you’re right- going to sleep like that makes me feel so cozy and oddly calm!
Hoping & (holding out for some good luck) to get that cute Pendleton rain coat! These Boston rain showers have convinced me to invest in something more sturdy 🙂
I’d like the raincoat. Such a good basic.
Thanks for the round up Carly and the much needed reminder that just because it’s on “sale” doesn’t mean it’s a need!! Haha I feel like sometimes it’s so overwhelming during this season because our brains react to the overload of sale posts with almost an emergency response. Thanks for the grounding reminder and for turning me onto the feather Bra last year! I’ve been wearing it ever since and I am never going back to any other kind because it’s amazing! Thanks!
I’m eyeing some fresh jeans – a little bored with skinnies!
I’m eying all of the cute outerwear this sale!!
Omg pick me! 😊
I want all of these!!! Love!
Omg amazing! I’m looking to get into Pilates and will have to check out the activewear sale. Great post as always!
I will be eyeing anything Balbour!
Definitely eyeing some great workout gear 🙂
I’m eyeing those Hunter boots!
Looking to buy a gal meets glam dress!
I’m all about the pajamas and loungewear!
Thanks so much for posting your favorites from the sale! It can be overwhelming navigating through things on my own—I’m definitely eyeing the workout gear!!
I’m looking at some basics! Really anything I can find that’s a good deal and my size. Most of my wardrobe staples don’t fit perfectly anymore or are too worn, so it’s time to replace them!
I bought a cute pair of black sorel boots! Love the sorel brand!
Need some good fall essentials! Might pick up a cardigan or two 🙂
Oh I would love to get my hands on that Gal Meets Glam dress! Fingers Crossed!
I would stock up on a few of the basics you recommended for myself, some of the blue and white Anthropologie items for my kitchen, and then a couple of things to spoil my mom with! I love to use sales like this to purchase great gifts for the people I love most in my life! Thanks for this helpful roundup of sale items, Carly!
Love shopping the Nordstrom sale for thoughtful purchases and not just to buy stuff on sale. I’ve been reading your blog for about 10 years now and love all the great content each day.
I’m eyeing all the activewear!
I’m starting a new job in August and need to upgrade my business wardrobe, so I’ve got my eye on a pair of Sole Society loafers!
Loving the Barbour jacket! But I have been eyeing a Patagonia Nano Puff for a while, so it may be time to go for it with the sale.
Loving the Liza dress and the cashmere cardigan!
Oooh, I do love the Hunter packable boots. They’re seriously a lifesaver! This year I ordered a Tory Burch crossbody, a Halogen pencil skirt, a pair of CZ studs, a faux leather moto jacket, some Zella leggings, and a pair of waterproof booties. I definitely went a bit overboard but it’s all stuff that’s been on my wish list for a while (and realistically I usually end up returning about half of what I order since it’s not as cute in person or doesn’t fit).
Hi Carly! So generous of you to do this giveaway. I am personally eyeing a couple of great blazers to add to my workwear collection as I move up to NYC and start a new job!
I’m thinking of getting the pillowcases. I have been eyeing them for awhile!
I’m eyeing a pretty coat! You can never have too many 😂
Would LOVE to snag a Gal Meets Glam dress during the sale! I haven’t bought one yet!
The Pendleton Raincoat!
Gal Meets Glam dresses!
I loving the Blondo boots that they have for sale! Waterproof booties that come in a variety of textures… leather, suede, etc. Perfect for fall and winter weather!
Honestly, I’ve been really needing some activewear for a few months. Now might be the time to finally invest in some high quality pieces from Zella or Nike!
I’m eyeing that Gal Meets Glam dress for upcoming family pictures 😍
I ordered the Barbour coat you mentioned – interested to see if it fits and I like it!
Definitely eyeing another Silk pillowcase! I got one a few months ago and absolutely love it. Now I need one for when one is in the wash!
I’ve been eyeing a new pair of boots and jacket! Love the Frye ones you posted! I agree that staples are the best things to buy from the sale.
I have been eyeing the Serrado Throw Blanket by Pendleton, a Barefoot Dreams cardigan, and a pair of Zella joggers. Pretty minimal damage this year!
Would have loved the Nanopuff but it is already sold out! The Barbour is also tempting 🙂
Love this! Moving to Oklahoma from Tampa, FL and need a good pair of boots! Will probably get the Hunter boots! Thank you!
Classic outerwear!
I have been thinking about the silk silk pillowcases for a while now, since I am a belly sleeper and I heard they help preventing wrinkles. Maybe will do the leap and get them finally. Nordy is the best!!!
I’ve had my sights set on the leopard Steve Madden mules! It seems like mules are here to stay for a while, and I love how leopard shoes pair with nearly any outfit. Gotta get em while in stock and on sale!
I’ve been wanting a Barbour jacket for quite some time but could never justify the price, so i think i would get one of those. Although, those silk pillow cases sound pretty good too!
Thanks Carly!
Katie
Definitely getting some workout clothes!
I have my eye on the Patagonia puff, and would also love to pick up some classic fall/winter pieces. I’ve only been in the working world for a year, and my professional wardrobe is a bit lacking!
Thanks for doing this!
I’ll be stocking up on a new Natori feathers bra, the 4 pack Donna Karen cashmere deodorant and soooo many clothes for my upcoming honeymoon!
Love your blog! And your name 🙂 ❤️
I’m eyeing the Attingham pitcher!
Some denim! I need new jeans!
Would love to get some classic basics for work. Love the cashmere sweater you suggested!
Eyeing some nike shorts for my summer workouts! 🙂
I’m looking at the light brown perforated bootie by Sofft. I already splurged on a Kendra Scott necklace!
Thank you for being so transparent about the sale. I am eyeing a barefoot dreams blanket, diptyque candles and perhaps a new pair of hunters!
I will be stocking up on Natori bras! I interned at Nordstrom a few years ago and have been hooked on these bras ever since.
I’m excited to stock up in basic sweaters for fall! I’m also needing more Patagonia items since I have trips planned for the fall and winter.
Loving your picks! I’ve had my eye on a Barbour coat for a while now…
There’s a tiger print sweater that I’m coveting! I need more winter clothes for my trip to NYC at Thanksgiving, and the tiger print is perfect for this LSU alumna
All great finds! I need to upgrade my Hunters, so I appreciated your comments on the packable pair!
Thanks for the “heads up” on the great deals!😉
I’m going to try a GMG dress . This twin mama wants to treat herself as all my clothes prior to a twin pregnancy don’t be fit right anymore
I’m getting several of my fav beauty essentials—especially Paula’s Choice and eyeing so cute shoes for work!
I’ve been looking at the Barbour jacket, but I also love the Gal Meets Glam dress!! So many fun things!!
Hoping to try the Natori feathers bar and maybe grab the Charlotte Tilbury pillowtalk lip set!
Love this post Carly! Just bought my first Barbour jacket when I was in Scotland. Can’t wait for it to get colder so I can wear it!
Thanks for your practical review!
Thanks for this post. I love the idea of stocking up on essentials you know you need as opposed to the buying frenzy! I’m interested in necessities like the Natori bras (seriously, love these) and some new workout gear!
I am eyeing one of the barefoot dreams cardigans! I appreciate you as a blogger for not going completely crazy for the sale!
Definitely eyeing the nano puff from Patagonia. Would be great to just put on quickly before taking my dog out for a walk in the morning when it gets chilly!
I’m also eyeing a new pair of boots (Sam Edelman) and some nice jeans!
I’m always waiting for the Zella leggings to go on sale! I was a little underwhelmed by the sale this year but there are still a lot of great basics.
I always love your suggestions and level-headed approach to the sale!
Definitely checking out that Gal Meets Glam dress!
lots of workout gear but you may have sold me on the nanopuff too!
I’ve been thinking out the Tory Burch boots for sometime now. May pull the trigger!
I desperately need a new Patagonia jacket for the DC winters!
Definitely keeping my eye out for a GMG dress!! They are so adorable and I would love to show it off in my small New England town!
Planning to finally make the investment in Tory boots.. I’ve been coveting them for years!
I’m with you – I feel like I’ve gotten staples in the past few years so there’s no “big ticket” item that I really “need.” I do like the workout section too – I think I might replace some of my sports bras with ones from the sale!
I’ve been eyeing some basics – including some Zella leggings and tops. I’m trying really hard not to go overboard this year!
I was also eyeing the packable hunter boots because I love mine but it’s honestly a workout sometimes wearing the regular ones haha. I was also thinking about the le pliage cuir leather tote by longchamp. But I love that yellow rain jacket you posted. Decisions Decisions haha
I love all of your sale picks! I’m eyeing the Tory Burch tote bag!
I’m eyeing the Barbour coat. Such a classic and the lighter weight seems like I’d get more use.
I’m mostly shopping fir my son. He’s starting preschool this fall, so we need some good outdoor gear and shoes for his nature-focused school.
Hi Carly! I would love to add a pair of jeans to my closet! And workout bras! And some booties I could wear to work everyday!
I am thinking about the Adidas Edge Lux 3 running shoes and may finally pull the trigger on the Spanx faux leather leggings!
I’ve been eyeing the new GMG dresses and some new fall boots! Loved this post Carly 🙂
A lot of the SomethingNavy collection is on sale and the hot pink joggers are calling my name.
Thank you for keeping your roundup short and simple! I’m eyeing a barefoot dreams cardigan, the silk pillowcases and some Charlotte Tilbury makeup.
I am eyeing that Gal meets Glam Liza dress. I haven’t bought one of her dresses yet, but that has been my favorite! Thanks for sharing about the sale, but not overdoing it, I love your picks!
Would love a Barbour coat 🥰
Love the Tory Burch boots. Awesome Picks, Carly!
Thanks for sharing all of these! I definitely think that the sale is overhyped, but there are still some great things to be found! I have my eye on some new workout gear and those silk pillowcases!!
I’m eyeing all the striped jumpsuits!
Ohh I can’t decide! I’ve always been a fan of Gal Meets Glam dresses, but I’ve also been wanting to try a silk pillowcase. I absolutely love Lancome’s makeup remover (it’s the only one that removes my mascara without any problem), and I can’t get over the price! And, of course, the rain jacket and Hunter boots. I thought I was doing okay with this sale until I saw your post! 🙂
I am loving all your Nordy sale suggestions! I am eyeing the beauty selection this year; specifically the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Peel Like a Pro Set ($130). My friend is an esthetician and highly recommends it.
Thanks for the recs!
I’ve heard about silk pillow cases being good for preventing wrinkles so I might have to give them a go!
I love the black raincoat with tartan lining, so cute!!!
Dishes, denim, hat, bags, …
I love the nike sports bra–great find! I’ve been looking for a new one since mine are starting to wear out. I also like the long cashmere cardigan because it looks like a nice upgrade to some of my cotton sweaters. Thanks for sharing some great options Carly!
I love the patagonia items! Thanks so much for the helpful blog posts!
I’m loving the Barbour coat – a classic that will be perfect for study abroad and the years to come! Also tempted to get the Gal Meets Glam Dress because I think it would be so fun to wear traipsing around Spain!
I’m looking at finally buying a Barbour coat! 😍
Great pics! I’m definitely eyeing that rain coat 😻
I have been following you since I was in middle school and you were in college! So needless to say I have been eyeing the Tory boots for sometime now.
Those Anthropologie dishes look gorgeous – would love to add them to my kitchen!
Thank you for this post! I am eyeing some outerwear—some staple pieces that will last a long time!! I think you’re spot on about the best investment pieces!
I think I NEED the Barbour jacket! The lining is so cute!
Such great recommendations! I appreciate that you focus on staples rather than super trendy. I’m eyeing a few classic cashmere sweaters and scarves that I know I’ll love for years to come!
Workout tank, baby clothes, and hitting the makeup deals! (dreaming of the Tory boots too…)
Thank you for mentioning the home items, besides barefoot dreams items I havent seen anyone else mention other home items and it completely fell off my radar.
I am looking at the Jeffery Campbell Snake Skin booties, usually out of my comfort zone but they look really fun.
I’m planning on getting the SPANX faux leather leggings. I was eyeing them last year but never bought, and yet it was something I wanted to reach for constantly over the winter months. I live in workout leggings and these are a much classier way to spruce up an outfit without losing that comfort!
I want to pick up a cashmere piece during the sale. I agree that it’s a good investment, and the nsale has a lot of good options. Thanks Carly! 🙂
Definitely eyeing all of the activewear and a new pair of booties because the Chicago winter destroyed mine last year!
I’m hoping for restocks or returns on the sold out Vince Camuto Gigietta Snakeskin Booties! And the Cozy Print Sweatshirt by Carlson. And the Cammando Faux Leather Leggings.. !!!
Looking at some Tory Burch Flats!!
I’m eyeing the Natori bras and a new pair of riding boots (getting excited for fall already!)
I’ve been eyeing the Barbour coat!
I am eyeing up the Barbour jacket! Classic plus a great splurge on sale.
I love stocking up on the voluspa candle sets to have on hand for last minute gifts!
Definitely eyeing some new booties for fall, and might stock up on some neutral sweaters as well!
Super into the silk pillow cases!! Thanks for keeping us in the know!!
I’m thinking of the Barbour coat! I LOVE coats, lol-a perfectly coordinated coat cheers me up during the looong Midwest winters! Maybe the packable Hunter boots too-No way Id pack my originals bc they’re so bulky, I never knew a packable version existed before today!? Thanks Carly!
Love your thoughts on the sale and your recs! I too want to stick with basics I know I’ll wear (especially in cold Chicago winters) like the zella leggings and cashmere wrap.
I really love the NSale! Thanks for sharing your picks!
My favorite Madewell cardio in every color, Sorel boots, LivingProof hair care,and some sassy faux snake skin booties!
I’m definitely hoping to pick up some active wear! I bought the Zella leggings last year and I love them!
I’ve definitely been eyeing that GMG dress😍
I love your take on the sale and the concept of focusing on the basics and things that don’t often go on sale. I’m eying the Marc Fisher pointed toe flats this year, but definitely taking a look at the activewear too, now that you mentioned it!
I’ve been eyeing the Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk lip kit! I haven’t used it so I am very curious!
Eyeing the workout gear myself! And also tempted by the Nano jacket 🙂
Love my Slip pillowcases too! Will probably buy some more during the sale!
Some new shoes not sure which ones!
I’m eyeing the Ugg Callen loafer!
I want to pick up some sweaters and jeans! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Loving those dishes! And possibly a cardigan. Still on the fence, but as you said, perfect for travel!
I plan on getting some new workout gear – sports bras and leggings. Your workout posts inspire me to get some cute new gear!
I’ve got my eye on the Nike Indy sports bra. I’m in desperate need of a good sports bra and your rec helps seal the deal!
New shoes! My feet grew half a size during pregnancy, so now I have to restock my closet. As dorky as it sounds, looking at some of the options from Naturalizers. I’m an elementary teacher and a new mom, so comfort is key right now.
I really want to get a new Patagonia puffer coat for the winter. Those are the best!
I would love to get the gal meets glam for my new job I’m starting! Thanks so much for your honest feedback on the sale and the staples you included!
I’m definitely eyeing a Barbour jacket-I’ve always wanted one!
You turned me on to the Natori bras last year, and I absolutely love them. I always buy one when they go on sale so I can build up my collections. This year I mostly just stocked up on things for my husband. This is the only time of year the Tommy John stuff goes on sale, and the Hugo Boss pants are a good buy as well. I was also on the hunt for a good cardigan that I can use when I travel for work.
I’ve been wanting to upgrade my bras so I think I’m going to get a few basic, boring Natori bras. Thanks for the recommendation!
Loving all the jackets! Either the Barbour or the Pendleton!!
Would love to get the slip silk pillowcase and some fall booties!
I very much appreciate your honest post about this (and others in general!) sale. It’s refreshing! I’m definitely eyeing up some of the bra selections — I desperately need an update ha! 😬 And I would love to purchase a GMG dress! 🙂
Zella is my favorite!
Thanks for putting this together! I already gave my list to my Mom (she shops the early access for Christmas gifts…) but I’m eyeing some bras/shapewear for myself.
I went ahead and bought some wardrobe staples from the sale- black calson sweater and black cami from 1.state. Both are great workwear basics!
I love buying the Zella reversible leggings every year! Athletic on one side, and casual on the other- easy fall staple.
I’ve had a Barbour coat and Hunter boots on my wishlist for over a year- not an impulse buy.
Hi Carly, if you’ve worked out in the Zella sports bra linked here, would you says it’s good for HIIT and cardio workouts. I’m struggling to feel supported in my workouts now that I do more jumping! Thank you!
I am hoping to get a Barbour coat! I waited too long on the one you recommended last year and am still kicking myself!
Love your new kitchen!
Def eyeing the Tory Burch riding boots and workout gear for BBG round 2!!
Gal Meets Glam dress for sure.
I have been dying to get the Slip Silk Pillowcases! Love that they’re cheaper now (I wouldn’t have seen this without your post). So off to Nordstrom’s I guess!
I’m eyeing the silk pillowcases and GMG dresses!!
I’m going tomorrow! Hoping to pick up some great sweaters for winter and maybe a pair of zella leggings!
I’m planning my first trip to New England in the fall (after years of wanting to go) and I definitely am eyeing the jackets and boots that you have in your sale picks . This post was so helpful!
Love from TX
Thinking about buying a barbour or a gal meets glam dress!
Honestly not that much except there is pair of aquatalia boots that could come in SO handy. They are SO expensive but they are marked down by ALOT so that is one investment piece I could have dor YEARS to come. Thanks for doing this opportunity!
I think I’m going to try the slip pillow cases, they’re too expensive to purchase at retail price!
I’m eyeing a new pair of black booties! Mine are a little too casual for certain occasions so hoping to get a pair with a higher heel to fancy them up a bit!
I’ve been eying a beautiful Shinola watch! Was surprised to see it included in the sale!
In need of a new pair of workout shoes (for all my Sweat workouts)!! I have been eyeing the Nike Free TR8’s for awhile and a cute black and floral pair is included in the sale!
I would love to try the Zella leggings that everyone has been raving about!
I’d love to try a silk pillowcase.
Hi Carly! I agree, staple picks are the most worth it when it comes to this sale. I limit myself to three pairs of shoes, one coat, three sweaters, one scarf, two workout outfits, three beauty items, and one home item. Every year I get very excited to spend and realize as soon as I begin looking at the item that I really do not need all the stuff. Clean and classic pieces that are an investment rather than a fashion statement are my go to. I love the Barbour jacket and it’s on the top of my list this year! Thanks for sharing.
Cashmere cardigans are always a must!!
Definitely the workout gear!! Always in need of that
I’ve been eyeing pajamas (can never have enough!) and work dresses. I’m moving to DC in a few weeks for grad school and I need some outfits that work for class and internships!
I’m eyeing all the cashmere and then Gorjana necklaces 🙂
I’ve got my eye on raincoats because I just moved to Seattle!
I am eyeing their Nordstrom lingerie pajamas. They are so soft I want another pair!!!
Natori feathers bras! Best time to stock up!
I’m stocking up on some home gifts for the holidays!
I am hoping to purchase a few (maybe a lot) of sweaters and cardigans!
There’s so much to chose from it’s overwhelming! But I’ve laid my eyes on a Patagonia jacket for a while now so that’s probably what I’ll be getting. Love your IG and blog! A.

I love all of your suggestions, but am considering the cashmere cardigan and black boots. I also love the way you have your items pictured and linked for easy shopping. Your sale coverage is the best…very helpful and well timed without going over the top. Thanks!
I’m in desperate need for new black riding boots. I have had a pair of Frye boots for ten years but after re-soling them three times, I think they finally need to be retired. Hoping I can find a cute and comfortable replacement!
I’m planning on investing in some cashmere while it’s at a great price!
Nest diffusers. Great for gifts!

There are so many cute shoes on sale too! I can’t wear them for a long time though because I broke my foot and have to wear a boot for two months 🙁

what you always need – natori, hanky panky, commando
I’m eyeing the faux-leather leggings from Spanx! They’ve been on my list for over a year! I also might stock up on some of those bras you suggested…
I’m eyeing the workout gear and the pillow cases for gifts for Christmas!
I snagged the Zella Live In Leggings (the BEST basic black leggings) and the Spanx faux leather ones!
I’m thinking about stocking up on NeuLash – I just started using it a few weeks ago, but have heard rave reviews, and given Nordstrom’s flexible return policy I could return the set if I find I’m not thrilled with my results after the first tube! And I need to snag some of the slip pillowcases, I got a “mulberry silk” pillowcase from Amazon awhile back that’s pretty good, so I can only assume the real deal one is better!
Definitely wanting those boots. Also bras. I’m a teacher, and so I also want to update some of my wardrobe basics.
I’m currently job searching so I’m eyeing the J. Crew Dover blazer! Would be a perfect upgrade for my interview outfit. The Natori feather bra is also gorgeous and the kind of staple I love to buy during the sale.

I would love a pair of Hunter boots!!
I’ve got my eye on another Gal Meets Glam dress. I love the one I got last year!

Love your classic style!
I’d love to refresh my athletic wear a bit 🙂

I’ve been looking at the Tori riding boots for a couple years and just need to pull the trigger!
There’s two sweaters I’m eyeing and the Patagonia nano puff! Thanks Carly!!
As silly as it sounds the one thing I’m eyeing are a pair of classic cubic zirconia stud earrings. I have owned diamond earrings for every and realize that since becoming a mom I always seem to loose one. I keep replacing them just to have one go missing. Thinking a classic cheaper option may be a better idea for this point in my life of everyday wear.
💎🤷🏼♀️❤️

I would love the Patagonia jacket, I really need a hooded jacket like that! And some sports gear!

I’m definitely stocking up on Lancome Bi-Facil. It is my favorite makeup remover and the only one I will use for the rest of my life. I’m also eyeing riding boots in desperate need of a new pair and would love to get a pair that will last for decades.
I am eyeing the Barbour jacket, its so cute!
I’m thinking of buying some basics for work! I’m a teacher and cute, affordable clothing is so hard to come by and I often feel like I spend more on my kiddos than myself. Also eyeing those silk pillowcases to help me get some better sleep and overall health. Thank you for always giving your practical input!
Hi Carly! Definitely loving that cashmere cardigan!

I love the adidas running shoes in the sale!
I have never actually shopped the sale before but something that I am eyeing is a Tory Burch bag! It would be such a nice everyday purse!
I live in black sweaters during the fall and winter. Every year I find myself buying a new one since mine get so much wear every year!
A Patagonia jacket for sure – I don’t have one with a hood and that would be helpful in bad weather!
Want to get a Patagonia!
I’ve been eying either the Barbour or Patagonia jackets!
I’m looking at a couple cardigans, loafers and pajama sets, but not sure if I’ll buy anything because like you said, I don’t know if I really need it or am just erring caught up in everyone’s posts about the sale 🤷🏻♀️
Need to get some new riding boots!
I tried to stay SUPER practical this year: 2 new Natori bras, another pack of Zella no show socks (yay pink!), shower curtain and bath mat for guest bathroom that has been waiting on just the right ones, and some Anthropologie dishes to replace/ add to our somewhat dwindling collection. If I was going to splurge (which I’m not this year ;)), then it would be on something like those TB riding boots, a Barbour coat, or some AG jeans 🙂
I’m thinking about buying some new black booties for fall, can’t go wrong with a staple!

It’s very refreshing to see that your suggestions are investment pieces or pieces that you could wear everyday and not include impulse buys. I caught myself before checking out and limited myself to some Zella workout pants I needed to replace.
Might have to look investing in a new coat though after your suggestions.
I am definitely eyeing the Patagonia nano puffer! Love Patagonia!
So… I wasn’t planning on shopping, but now I’m definitely eyeing the two jackets (Barbour and rain coat), as well as that fabulous long cashmere cardigan. Thanks for the recs, and opportunity to shop!
The Diptyque candle set – something I’ve always wanted to order!!

Love this! I would purchase a GMG dress if I were to win!
Barbour coat would be the dream buy! But since I’m not willing to spend that much money at this point in my life I’m probably sticking to leggings. I love the Zella leggings and my old pair that I got from the sale a couple years ago broke so time to restock.
The Pendleton rain jacket for sure, always need a pop of color on rainy days!!! ☂
Also buying the Frye Boots !
I was definitely not planning on buying anything, but you have managed to draw attention to the few items I WOULD buy. My top pick would have to be that Pendleton rain coat. I’ve been hunting for a new one and it’s quite perfect. The plaid lining in the black / navy colorways is a DELIGHT!
I love seeing your post for the N-Sale! There are soooo many people posting about ‘must haves’ for Fall, but I appreciate that your picks are truly MUST haves. I’m eyeing that Anthro pitcher now and would love to splurge on a cashmere cardi 😍
There are so many good deals on shoes! I am in need of some staples to add to my work wardrobe and fun shoes for my weekend attire! BUT I would be really tempted to buy new bedding. There are some pretty quilts on sale.
I’ve heard so many great things about Slip silk pillowcases and think this may be the time to snag them!
Hi-
LOVE your sale picks. I’m definitely trying to round out my cold weather wardrobe with a new cozy sweater or two!
I’m planning to get makeup brushes, workout leggings and maybe some boots!
Loving the Gal Meets Glam dresses!
Eyeing the Natori bras and Paula’s Choice!
The Patagonia nano jacket 😍
Just ordered a pair of Blondo boots and looking at a leather jacket!
Definitely eyeing some Hunter boots and GMG dress!
I’m loving the Hunter boots. Classics that I always keep.
That Pendleton rain jacket!!!! 😍😍😍
I would finally jump and buy a gal meets glam dress. The collections are always so beautiful
Looking at the Sam Edelman heeled black boots! Need to stock up before winter comes.
I’m starting a new job in a few weeks so I’m looking to buy some classic professional pieces + shoes. But that slip pillowcase might be the perfect fit for my new apartment!
Those same Anthropologie dishes and the Patagonia zip up!
Eyeing the small hunters (love my normal ones but like the non-tall ones) and as lame as this sounds, the bath towels!
I love Zella leggings! Great quality and price.
I’m definitely looking to stock up on Supergoop sunscreen. The spray bottle set is amazing and I love to give a bottle to each member of my family to make sure they’re protected especially the summer sun .
I need anything cashmere! I’m moving to an even colder climate than I’m used to so I need to be able to warm up!
I’m so excited for the sweaters and will probably finally cave and get a cashmere sweater!!
I bought a teddy bear Caslon long faux fur jacket. And I would probably love the faux leather spanx along with 100 other items for myself and my girls 😍
Ahhh so many choices from the Nordstrom sale! I’ve been thinking about investing in some Hunter boots, hmmmm
Thanks for sharing your favorites, Carly! I still love my Hunter rainboots from a few sales ago. I was eying up a few sweaters, but sadly they were already sold out. I’m thinking of doing the cute pink checkered pajama set from Madewell and maybe other favorites that are restocked!
I have a Nordstrom card, so I already scooped up a cashmere tunic, new bras, and my favorite set of pajamas in the short version!
Eyeing some cardigans and gift sets!
🤞on winning the gift card. Been curbing my spending on clothes etc to save for travels later this year, but this would allow me to snag a treat or two
Hey Carly!
Thanks for your honestly about the sale – it’s true everyone goes crazy and can be sucked into buying things they don’t need! I’ve been looking to get another pair of my Zella leggings and maybe the Patagonia jacket you mentioned! -Laura
The Patagonia coat! I have been eyeing it for a while and so excited it’s on sale!
I am thinking about getting the Barbour coat. I live in the Southeast, so it would be good to have the l
I have my eye on ALL the workout gear — I just moved to a new part of the country where it is HOT so I’m all about the shorts and longline sports bras these days!
I’m lusting over the pillowcases and Patagonia coat! Thanks for sharing your favs! xo
Just picked up the Patagonia “Chacabuco 15-Inch Laptop 30-Liter Backpack” in black for an upcoming trip – glad I checked the men’s accessories section otherwise I would have missed out!
Anything barefoot dreams! Their cardigans are all so soft!
Tory Burch tote and a cozy blanket!
Thanks for not overindulging in the N-Sale craziness! I’m definitely eyeing a new bra or two (so fun lol, but now’s the time to stock up!)
I’m always eyeing a new handbag & I’d love a grey one for this autumn!
Thanks for the roundup! I think I’m going to grab some new Nike trainers!!
Definitely that Anthropologie jug! It’s perfect!! I just bought my first house too and need to decorate badly haha. I’ve loved following your journey with your house and getting design ideas.
I like the Barbour violet coat! Thanks for the recommendations.
Much like you I use the Nordstrom sale as an opportunity to refresh my basics that I use daily,at a great price.
I’ve been eyeing that Pendleton rain coat- I think now it finally the time to get it!
Looking into replenishing my staples. But eyeing that patagonia nanopuff jacket!

I’d love a brand new pair of Nike leggings and sports bra 🙂
So many things to chose from but I have my eye on a Gal Meets Glam dress!
I’m looking for a new pair of brown booties but would love to splurge on a GMG dress!
I immediately purchased another pair of Zella leggings and have my eye on a few jackets/vests that have already gone out of stock. Fingers crossed someone returns my size and I’m able to scoop them up!
We just relocated from Austin to Las Vegas and I have absolutely nothing to wear in the desert! Desperately needing to completely overhaul my wardrobe!
Really want to try the Zella leggings!
Love the natori bras!
I am totally going to get the Natori bra and a lot of home goods !

I am eyeing the new Nike swift sneakers! Love a good Nike sneaker to walk to work in!
Would love a GMG dress 😍
I am eyeing the little girls clothes since I have a 5 month old. A North Face puffer has already made it to my cart, but trying to stay practical for her. Miniature items of my favorites are so hard to pass up though!
Definitely thinking about grabbing those silk pillow cases while they’re on sale! But totally agree with you about the over consumption – although tempting, personally I won’t be picking up any trendy fall items. Once the season rolls around I think I make better judgement calls about what I really need and I’d rather pay a little more investing in quality pieces while feeling confident about the purchase than just mass buying everything I find potentially interesting.
Love stocking up on beauty items that I need regardless of season! The Philosophy Grace lotion is wonderful.
I’d love to pick up a Gal Meets Glam dress and a comfy pair of cute sneakers from the sale!
I’ve loved your style and have been following since 2010! I look forward to these posts every year . I’m eyeing up some booties and undergarments! Thanks for always putting out great content.
I look forward to these posts every year . I’m eyeing up some booties and undergarments! Thanks for always putting out great content.
Love the gal meets glam dresses and natori bras!
I’m hoping to stock up on some travel essentials and basic, long-lasting wardrobe pieces for my trip to Spain next spring! So excited!
Inclement weather stuff – cardigans, boots, etc. 🙂
I am so excited to finally add a barefoot cardigan to my teacher wardrobe and gift one to my mom, who is also a teacher! I got a bathrobe for my mom (and one for me) for Christmas last year, and she is so in love with it! I know that she’ll love the cardigan just as much too! The only problem will be keeping it a surprise for that long!
Thank you for sharing your classic style with us and not making this sale in a “do or die” type thing. I love your posts! And your new house is beautiful! (I have the Anthro Attingham tea pot and it’s amazing, lovely pattern!)
Those bras look so comfortable! I also love the Pendleton Rain Coat-classic and cute!
Caitlin
I’m eyeing all of the cute sweaters!!! This gift card would help a college girl out on her fall wardrobe 🙂 Thanks so much Carly!!

Deff eyeing up those hunter boots. Also been wanting to switch to silk pillow cases. Thanks for the suggestions!
I’m eyeing the Hanky Panky retro high waist things! Usually they are $10 off or so during this sale but right now they are the cheapest I’ve ever seen – 4 for $59! 😲😲😲😲
Totally agree it has gotten almost to the state of overconsumption, but think the sale is great for staples or things you’ve been eyeing for a while! Also really appreciate that you dont over share about this sale and waited until after public access!

I’m looking for a new pair of work flats and loving that dress!
I am loving the Barbour jacket, will save up for it or one like it next year. I am loving the raincoat you picked in your top 10. Also, I am stocking up on basics.

Loving small home upgrades recently!
I’ve been dreaming of (ha!) one of those Barefooted Dreams blankets for at least a year now but haven’t been able to bite the bullet. Now that it’s on sale, it’s so tempting but every time I decide I’m going to go ahead and take the plunge, it’s sold out! Fingers crossed it comes back in stock before the sale is over!
I’m eyeing everything! In particular though the Patagonia Nano Puff is a great price right now. Would love to see how the Anthro plates look if you end up bringing them home!!
Great picks!

I think I’m pulling the trigger on new Tory wedges.
Thanks for the blog post Carly! I’m looking at a pair of riding boots and a new pair of sandals.
Eyeing the silk pillowcases after seeing them in your post! I’ve heard cotton pillowcases can cause wrinkles, so this sounds amazing!
The Nordstrom Sale is literally my favorite time of year! There are so many cute things on sale right now!
The Barbour coats!! They are such a classic and such a good price!
I didn’t know Hunter made a “lightweight” boot. I may get a pair as a gift for my niece!
I always grab new Hanky Panky underwear and a couple new bras! Beyond that, I’ve mostly got my eye on blazers, skirts, and dresses for work.
I would love to get either the hunter boots or the leggings.
Eyeing all of the beauty stuff, but especially the GHD straightener! Anybody love theirs!?
I would love to get a Tory Burch bag from the sale but I am struggling with it being a want versus a need. I live in the South where it will be warm until late October, so I can’t even start thinking about fall clothes yet! Love your picks!
Patagonia pullover
I’m looking into the Longline Open Cardigan and the Drape Collar Knit Blazer. I’m a college student and with the chilly Boston weather, I definitely need some more layers for the fall!
I’ve been eyeing a Barbour jacket, they’re such a good investment but so pricey regular prices. I just moved to New England a couple months ago and one would be perfect for the fall!
Yes, to the silk pillowcases. Also, a new suede moto jacket for fall!
You’re the second blogger who has recommended a cashmere cardigan! Definitely what I have my eyes on 😍
I’ve been eyeing the Halogen cashmere long cardigan! Hard to think about sweaters when it’s 95 degrees 🙂 but I know it will be fall before we know it!
I’m eyeing the Zella leggings, I’ve heard so many great things! A new pair of simple loafers are far more necessary though.
Ahh great read! I have been one the fence about the silk pillow cases, but have only heard great things about them. I have my eye on the Aneita rug by Jaipur! So stunning 🤩🤩
Love that sports bra! I got one 2 n sales ago and it still holds up! Bought some replacement Zella leggings too!!
I am loving the Barbour Violet coat, and the spanx faux leather leggings!! Thank you so much for a concise and honest post about the N Sale 😂
Eyeing that Barbour coat, a cute felt fedora hat, and a pair of boots!
Loving the Nordstrom cz studs
That Lancôme makeup remover is seriously the best! Always worth stocking up knowing it’s gonna get purchased anyways!
There are lots of things in the sale that I’m eyeing. The Patagonia nano puff and cashmere cardigan are high on the list. I’d also like to have the Barbour packable boots. I have a pair of their originals, but I travel a lot and the packable version would be really helpful.
I’m eyeing that cashmere sweater!
That Barbour jacket is so gorgeous
Hi Carly! First off congrats on being a home owner! There are so many choices but one I would definitely go with are 2 pairs of hunter boots (one for me, one for my mom). We live in Boston and although it’s 90 degrees right now and I’m in denial it’ll ever snow again, I know we’ll be grateful for these.
I would love to get some new workout gear and maybe some staple shoes for the fall
Totally eyeing that Barbour jacket and a solid pair of denim!
Finally hope to snag a GMG dress!
It may finally be time for a pair of packable Hunter boots!
Maybe Stuart weitzman boots! 🤗
My favorite purchase of this year is actually not for myself – it was a pair of sneakers for my 4 year old boy! He rarely asks for anything specific but he had his eyes on those from the first time he saw them 2 weeks ago. He got them today and is all the heart eyes for them. Hasn’t taken them off yet!
I think I might treat myself to the cute Victorian-style long-sleeved top. I’ve been on the hunt for a more delicate top that I can wear out to dinner.
I am loving the GMG dress!
My mom is your biggest fan and she always keeps me in the loop with your stuff.
Keep rocking it!
I’m eying some new PJs and grabbing a couple pairs of ballet flats!
Zella leggings for sure… and maybe those silk pillow cases too!
I am actually looking at one of those Pendleton rain coats. Too cute!
Eyeing the whole GMG collection because LOVE! Hard choices.
I’m hoping to snag the Spanx leggings and Barbour coat! 🤞🏻

I snagged a cashmere v-neck since I needed a replacement- have my eye on some beauty items, too!
For sure eyeing the Patagonia for some upcoming winter travel!
Hi Carly! Great read and this will be my first time hit the sale so I’m really excited. The Hunter boots sound great and I’m looking forward to checking out those bras since I’ve lost a lot weight recently. Thanks for posting and I look forward to reading more! Have fun at the sale!
I’m going to finally try the Slip Silk pillowcases! Staying cool in the dog days of summer is a challenge 🥵 Also love the GMG Liza dress!

The Nike sports bra image immediately caught my eye and then I found myself scrolling through all of the workout gear on sale. Thinking of purchasing the bra as well as some Zella pocket leggings for a new yoga outfit 🙂
Looking for some booties!!
I really want a Rails top or two but having a hard time with the $100 (sale!) price tag for a casual button down…so cute and versatile though!
I’m eyeing ALL of the Barbour coats for my BIG move to New York City to start my first “big girl” job in the fashion industry!!! I just graduated from UGA (which is in the super high temps/humidity filled south of Georgia.. even during October), so I don’t have many down or quilted jackets for autumn in the city! Thanks for the thoughtful opportunity Carly. xoxo
I’m eyeing some workout gear and pajamas! Also love the feathers bra.
Keeping an eye on the Zella maternity leggings and hoping they come back in stock!
Super interested in trying that bra! I think I remember seeing you talk about those before- maybe this is the year I give one a go!
I am looking at buying the silk pillow cases! As someone with curly hair, I’ve heard that sleeping on a silk case reduces frizz for better looking hair even a few days after washing. Seems promising!
I’m hoping to grab some high quality, versatile pieces that I can wear season-to-season for my semester abroad in Bologna, Italy, which I leave for next month!
Well now I’m eyeing that cashmere cardigan! Looks amazing! Thanks Carly.

I am dieing for the all leather Longchamp Le Pliage cuir In blush!
A Barbour!!
Been eyeing the Zella leggings so I may get a pair or two! And I didn’t realize the packable Hunter boots were part of the sale too! I’ve been thinking of getting another pair. I’ve got one in navy and it is the best rain boots. So chic yet still very comfortable! For the handful of times I’ve been to Ireland, they were my go-to shoes.
Thanks for all the great suggestions for the sale!
Patagonia nano puffer!!
I was looking for some basic brown/tan booties for the fall since mine have seen better days. I’m always super excited about the sale but then I get so overwhelmed not knowing where to start or what I’m looking for.
I could use a fall upgrade. I think I will try the Lancôme Bi-facial.
I got my eyes on the Hunter tour packable boots, I have loved them since I start observing how you and Julia style them with differnet outfits, and they seem so practical for travelling, I can’t wait to own a pair.
I have been eyeballing the Gal Meets Glam dresses! I’ve been dying to get one and now might be the push I need. Also those Frye boots are amazing.
The Pendleton rain jacket is 😍 !
Thinking about a new coat!
Carly, I was looking last night to see if you had posted anything about the NSale, and came across your post from last year! I saw the cute Tory Burch shift dress and wanted to see if they had anything like it this year. While scrolling I saw the Gal Meets Glam dress that you posted in this blog post and said to myself “Carly would pick something like this.” Now seeing it in this post I just lol.
Thanks Carly for your suggestions! I think I want to get that cashmere cardigan! Looks amazing!

I’ve been wanting a Barbour jacket but I’m also loving the yellow rain coat!
Oohhhhh those Hunter boots sound like a great option when it’s rainy!
I always try to grab workout clothes so that’s what I’m focusing on this year. They’re all great quality items/brands that are much more manageable at the sale price!
My list would be so long but I’m looking towards getting the Gibson Cozy Twist Pullover! I could wear it to work, or on the weekends!
Thank you for always being so realistic about this sale! It’s so fun to look at but easy to get caught up in thinking you need so many things!

A new rain coat and I love Natori bras so I want to stock up on those!
I’m looking for a new pair of riding boots this year !

I have been wanting a pair of Hunter Chelsea Rain Boots!!!

I’ve been eyeing the Sweaty Betty 7/8 leggings for months… I think this is finally the time to buy. 🙂
I misplaced my yellow rain jacket a few months ago and I’ve been googling yellow rain jackets to replace it! The Pendleton rain jacket looks perfect!
I’m hoping to look at some of the home goods as I’m moving into a new place next month!
Considering the barefoot dreams blanket. Looks so snuggly
BARBOUR JACKET & Gal Meets Glam dress! I have wanted the jacket for years. And I am looking at some more professional clothes since I will be graduating college this December. 🙌👩🎓

Just a few “must-have” pieces like the Zella vest jacket, a new T3 curling iron, and hoping the plaid Veronica Beard jacket comes back in stock 🙂
Thank you for this, Carly!
I’m eyeing the Gal Meets Glam dress😍🤗
So cute!
I got so much in this sale- including shoes, a ton of jewelry, etc, but I am most excited about my Sam Edelman leather jacket. I have wanted one for years and decided to take the plunge.

Love the Patagonia Nano Puff- it sounds amazing for colder days and hiking.
Short rain boots in leopard and fun staple work dresses to refresh my closet!
Hey Carly!! Love your post so much! It’s great to see you insights. I’m hoping to snag some Hunter boots!
I am loving all things gal meets glam and so happy they have a few dresses included in the sale this year:-) You may or may not have persuaded me to buy that bra because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good one. Please keep these posts coming I always look forward to them!!
Great picks! I just finished my breastfeeding journey 😢and think it’s time I treat myself to some beautiful Natori bras.

I’m going to pick up a leather le pliage bag

Loving so many things, but I’m definitely eyeing some new comfy heels for back to school. You can’t be a teacher without comfortable shoes, but who can afford them on a teacher budget?!
Eyeing the Vince slides and Slip pillowcases!
I stocked up on my favorite Natori Bras and Spanx! Always a great time to buy the essentials!

I am eyeing a new pair of hunter boots! My original pair from 8th grade are just not cutting it anymore.
Would love some Tory Burch riding boots!
I’ve been eyeing the slip silk pillowcases!! I have the eye mask and love it, but haven’t brought myself to splurge on the pillowcases.
It’s super impractical, and definitely something I *need* (despite your good advice lol) but there’s a Halogen leopard print fur jacket that I absolutely LOVE! It’s a bit pricey for something that’s not necessarily a staple, but I’m obsessed!!! Besides, isn’t people’s considered a neutral??😝
Really excited about the Nordstrom sale! From hunter, to gal meets glam, to work put clothes, oh my! So many fun things 🙂
I had my eye on Marc Fisher pointy toe loafers in snake skin and comfy booties for this coming fall and I found one – Steve Madden’s Jillian bootie in Taupe… I really want to thank you for your stories on Nordstrom sale picks. It really helped to filter out my options from the humongous choices available. Thanks… xoxo
Love the post. I did purchase a Rails Plaid shirt from the sale, but I have been eyeing the Barbour Lightweight Waxed Jacket. I would love to add it to my closet. It is perfect for the fall.
spanx leggings and Tory Burch boots!!
I love the Patagonia Nano Puff! Looks like it’s sold out right now, but I’m hoping they restock!
So many good deals! The Charlotte Tilbury products are staples in my makeup bag, definitely have my eye on those.
Eyeing a new longchamp!!
Need to get a dress for TWO weddings I have in September, only 6 days apart. Hoping to get one nice dress that I can dry clean in between and the sale has some amazing choices!!!
I really want to la mer set!
I’m excited to stock up for some classic pieces for law school! I’m starting this fall.
New work wardrobe please! New shoes 🙏🏾 Love the blog over the years btw. One of the few that’s still more than just buy this.
I’m eyeing the classics like boots and coats for fall!
I think you just sold me on the packable Hunter boots! I have the regular boots and find them really heavy… might have to sell those and switch to the packable ones!
Thanks for the chance to win such a great gift! I am definitely looking to add a cashmere sweater (or two!) to my closet or perhaps a new handbag for fall/winter- it’s been years since I’ve purchased one!
Love both rain coats!!
Those Tory Burch boots are gorgeous!!
I always stock up on cashmere and barefoot dreams during the sale so I’m going for the cashmere wrap/scarf I saw and the barefoot dreams cardigan 😍😍
I’d love a new pair of suede booties!
I’ve really been looking for a really cute cashmere sweater!
I’d love to pick up a couple of the silk slip pillowcases……. and I love the look of the Veronica Beard Beacon Check Dickey Jacket- a splurge, but if I win the gift card, it’s a steal!!
Ooo maybe some Jo Malone fragrance!
I want to get the Hunter boots and silk pillowcases!
Thank you for this round-up! I’d love to try the Natori bra and to have some new work out gear! And sweaters and jeans and shoes 😅 I just had my third baby, so it would be so nice to have some new fall things after being pregnant and breastfeeding for the past four years straight!
Can’t wait to shop the sale! I’ve been eyeing the Hunter boots!
I really like your picks! I’ve been wanting the slip silk pillowcases and this is the perfect time to snag them!
I love your blog and account! My activewear and sunglasses need some updates (currently wearing $2 shades from Primark that don’t help my eyes at all against the sun), and based on your posts (and kellyinthecity’s) this sale is great for that!!
Totally hoping to restock my workout gear this summer. Love the cropped sportsbra linked above!
Oh I LOVE those Frye boots! I always stock up on Zella leggings during the sale and I’m pregnant this year so the maternity version is calling my name! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Love the Gal Meets Glam dress! Her pieces are so classy and you two have such a sweet friendship!

I am eyeing the Barbour jackets! Especially the violet one! But after reading this blog post I’m in love with the yellow Pendleton jacket! I have been on the hunt for the perfect yellow rain coat for years!
I’ve been eying some Hunter Boots! I’ve lost weight so they can finally fit my calves!
I’m planning on getting a Barbour coat!
Dying for a Barbour coat!!!
I already shopped the Nordstrom Sale once, but am considering returning these weekend. Love your suggestions!
I’ve got my eye on a pair of black suede Mark Fisher booties! They come up slightly higher than a regular ankle bootie so I think they’ll be perfect for dressier outfits in the fall/winter!
I have been eyeing the exact same Pendleton rain jacket! Love it. Also, a plaid shirt by Rails, Wit & Wisdom jeans, Barefoot Dreams socks and an adorable Chelsea28 dress!! 😊
I’d get a Barbour!
I’ve been eyeing the entire show department, I need all new closed toed shoes. My dog (who is such a good boy, usually) recently went through a phase where he ate all my work appropriate closed toed shoes! He never touched my husbands shoes. Toms, Sperrys, Converse, loafers, brown leather flats. He would go and find them while we were out of the house and go to town. I’ve been wearing sandals to work the passed few weeks and it just doesn’t feel right.
I really need a new winter coat and have been avoiding it, so that’s what I’m sure I’ll end up with!
I am DYING to get some new decor for my new house!!
Thank you so much for not overhyping the sale and just focusing on classic, staple items! The Anthro dishes are darling!
I have my eye on some Zella activewear & a puffy vest for fall!
I would LOVE to add one of the Gal Meets Glam dresses to my closet!
I’ve been eyeing the Farrah high waisted denim and revitalash for a while
Great recommendations!
Eyeing the Nuna convertible car seat
Stocked up on natori! My favorite!
As usual, I’m looking at shoes: boots and flats specifically, because while I love pretty heels I can’t run around the city in them, and sometimes sneakers just won’t do. And of course underwear, because that always needs a refresh after summer (is that TMI?).
I appreciate your more laid-back approach to the sale than some other bloggers! I have my eye on a cute leopard print sweater, and will check out those anthropologie dishes!
Hi I just wanted to say I love your blog! What I’m eyeing is a cashmere sweater
The packable Hunter boots look so cute and practical!
Definitely the yellow rain jacket!!! I’ve been wanting one for years 😍
Love all these recommendations! I’ve been eyeing some gorgeous Ted Baker flats!
I’m eyeing the Patagonia items I need some new cold weather gear before I go back to uva for school. They hardly ever goes on sale so these prices are definitely easier for a student budget!
Thanks for sharing! I am definitely eyeing some new riding boots & considering getting my first Barbour jacket! 🙂
Love the simplicity of your picks! I’m loving the outerwear in the sale- a girl can never have too many jackets, right??

Definitely eyeing a Barbour coat!
I’ve been really into learning about clean skincare lately and while there isn’t much makeup included in the sale, there are a few moisturizers and cleansers that I have my eye on! Trying to slowly transition into mostly-clean skin products.
I’ve been jealous of your Hunter tour boots forever (seriously, since at least your trip to Ireland!), and I think now may finally be time for me to pull the trigger!!
Love your take on the fake pressure around having to buy things right now. Really keeps things in perspective compared to a lot of what is being promoted on Instagram!
Sam Edelman Hiltin Knee High boots in black. They’re classic!
Got some jeans and a pair of mules to try and some anthropologie candles! Kept it simple this year!

I’ve been wanting to get in on the Natori bra following! I’m always a big fan of sweaters and cardigans and the Nordstrom sale always has the best selection. A good everyday Barbour jacket for fall and winter is also on the list and an updates pair of fall riding boots… thinking either Tory Burch or Sam Edelman. So many good picks to choose from this year!
Not terribly exciting, but I’ll be stocking up on all things “business casual” to reorient my cozy college wardrobe to one that is appropriate for my first job post-grad! Fingers crossed the Jcrew Cameron pants are restocked!
I am eyeing that Pendleton rain jacket!! I love classic jackets and have always struggled to find a rain jacket that fits the bill. This one seems to be the one! Plus the yellow will brighten up any rainy day 🌂🌧
I’ve been eyeing that Barbour coat for ages and think I’m finally gonna buy it this year. Thanks for the color suggestions I tend to get a bit indecisive when it comes to this stuff lol.
Excited to finally invest in the Barbour coat now that I can get it on sale!! Love all your picks!!
I’ve got my eye on the cashmere cardigan – thanks for the suggestions!
Finally invest in some real Spanx and a new fall dress to wear over it!!
Hi Carly! I love your picks. There’s so many things I’m eyeing but I would love the oaui set because their scalp scrub is everything. I also can’t resist those argento vivo gold hoops!
So glad I read this post! Love the raincoat with the tartan lining in it that you linked!
The one thing I’m always keeping an eye on during big sales is cashmere. I love the feeling of putting them on during colder days ❤️

Hoping to find some Patagonia and fall boots!
Great picks! I’m eyeing a particular tassel blanket and boots in the sale!
It’s funny you mention the slip pillowcases! They’re what I’ve been eying for this sale. I’ve been trying the “curly girl method” to see if I can tame my frizzy waves into something manageable and a silk pillowcase is a must according to all my research.
I would love to get a new Barbour jacket!!
yoga/athletic gear! i don’t really need anything in particular but love stocking up just in case lol
I’ve been shopping the sale all week for basics. I’ve had my eye on the Tory Burch riding boots and Barbour rain coat.

Def eyeing those hunter boots, but also a moto jacket from Top Shop.
I have always wanted a Barbour coat!
I’m eyeing all the athletic wear! Such good deals. My dad and I have a tradition of going to the sale every year. (I think he loves the sale even more than me.) We always look forward to it! Still wear a jacket I bought with him years ago to this day.

I’m looking to grab some barefoot dreams stuff!
Need new Hunter boots! I am a preschool teacher and we go out one hour a day! Living in mid-west need the boots most days in the fall and spring!
Totally eyeing that rain jacket and a pair of sneaks!! 👀
Anything Tory Burch! 😍
I just ordered the Naturalizer Dalton boots and am thinking of getting the brown croc-effect Nordstrom brand handbag.
Those silk pillowcases for me and my best girlfriends. Gotta keep our skin wrinkle free and silk pillowcases are a great start!
Love that you aren’t going overboard on this sale like a lot of other bloggers! I really appreciate your practicality in all that you do. 🙂 I’m eyeing a pair of Tory Burch sandals!
Marc Jacobs The Box Bag + Mother Jeans are a must buy
I need a super basic but durable cardigan. No cotton ones because they stretch out too much, no synthetic materials because they pill like crazy. I like the one you linked but need to look further. Thanks for sharing, Carly.
I love the cashmere cardigan!!! Definitely has my eye!
Currently working on building my capsule wardrobe, but I’m also loving the activewear options!
I love all your picks! Definitely will be looking into the pillow cases!

This year I’m eyeing the quilted Barbour coat! I also love the natori bras. I got one last year and was an instant convert!
I’d love to have some of the silk pillowcases go keep cool during this heat wave!
You do such a great job with your posts. I’m thinking the packable hunter boots are a great idea and one if the sports bras is a must. All are in my basket, waiting for me to decide. For my daughters – major Carly fans – I think the anthropologie pitcher is adorable. The older two are into blue and white. Also maybe the GMG dress for my eldest.
I’m dying to buy that Pendleton rain jacket in yellow! Me and my mini me could match while we splash through puddles.
Zella maternity leggings cause I heard they were a dream! Spanx feaux leather leggings for post partum and honestly too many boots- I could use a pair like the Carly boot you linked to last me a while! I’ve never had a good staple boot, and I’m thinking now is the time! Love this list! Thank you!!
So exciting! I’m definitely eyeing a new pair of Hunter boots!
As a girl with frizzy, curly hair, I’m eyeing those silk pillowcases!

Excited to get some workout clothes!
Just snagged some Zella leggings and toddler hunter boots! Great suggs here too, thanks!
Love this post! I’m definitely eyeing the Hunter Boots! I went to go shop the Nsale at the store last week during early access and ended up buying a GMG dress that was NOT part of the sale lol. Of course! But I couldn’t help myself!
Your Nordstrom sake posts are the only ones that haven’t made me roll eyes. Thank you for figuring out how to share AND make it interesting for your readers! I had breast surgery earlier this year and have had the hardest time finding a good bra that fits well and doesn’t feel/look like it’s for a tween! 😫 I’ve seen so many rave reviews about the Natori bra and can’t wait to try it. Fingers crossed!
I’m eyeing the bras and underwear. I never invest in those and am far overdue!
Thanks for sharing your favorites and hosting this giveaway. I am eyeing a Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir Leather Tote for a perfect work bag!
I’ve been eyeing some super cozy topshop loungewear and that silk pillowcase! And of course all GMG. Thank you for sharing items that are a great deal and a good time to stock up! Love following you!

I’m looking to invest in my first ever piece of quality cashmere!! I want something that will stand the rest of time!
I always love your roundup, but this one is especially good! I’ve been in need of most of these items such as the delicate bra, nano puff jacket, Barbour jacket, and silk pillowcase! I will be deciding which items to prioritize now and which can ones can wait another 6-12 months. Any recommendations on riding boots for the fall?
All the fall boots and coats!
I’ve always wanted to try the nano puff!
Will pick up that rain jacket and I have been eyeing on those silk pillow cases.
I’ve been eying a barefoot dreams cardigan and those silk pillowcases!
I’ve always wanted a Tory Burch purse! It’s not in the finances now, but I’m always hoping one day! Definitely eyeing the Everly leather tote!

Diana C
Looking for a few investment pieces!!
Gosh, between you and Kelly Larkin, the Anthropologie dishes are calling my name!!
I’m eyeing those Hunter boots! I don’t have a pair of rain boots yet so those would be a great investment. Have a nice day!
I’m eyeing those Hunter boots!
Love these picks! Your guides are always so honest and helpful. I’ve been on the hunt for a nice pair of tennis shoes and casual staples for my first year at college. 🙂
I’m eying that cashmere cardigan and a camel scarf!
Oof. So many things! The beachwaver (as though I need another curling iron), pajamas (always), the le labo discovery set, Zella leggings… I need to practice MAJOR self control.
I’ve been eyeing a cute pair of longchamp sunglasses that are on sale. Plus maybe treat myself to a new wallet 😍
Our first baby is due at the end of August so I have my eye on lots of baby items and nursing friendly tops!
I’m thinking of getting the Longchamp expandable bag! We now have two kids so extra space in a diaper bag is always helpful! I also want to try the Zella leggings and maybe the T3 curling iron 🙈 love your blog – been following since your were a college prepster! 💗
There is a Tori Burch shoulder bag I would love to get my hands on!
Such cute picks! I’m definitely eyeing the cashmere cardigan, Zella leggings, GMG dress, and Patagonia jacket!
I agree with the staples method to the madness! Patagonia coats are basically a staple in my wardrobe. I’m hoping to pick up a nano-puff, and more cashmere!
Those Carly boots are perfect!
Love the Nordstrom sale! I’m eyeing a gorgeous black leather jacket that will work well with jeans and dresses!
I would love to finally get some riding boots! Any pair that will fit 😂
Eyeing down the Barbour coat!

Looking at a leather jacket from Topshop & an UGG blanket!
I think I’m going to get that beautiful black tartan raincoat! So cute!
This year I’ve definitely gone for more expensive items, but better quality ones that I know will last. I am now looking at those Frye boots you mentioned…I want to get a new pair of brown boots.
I’ve always wanted a yellow raincoat, so I finally have an excuse to get one 😉 I’m now definitely considering the Pendleton Rain Jacket. I was also so excited to see these Karl Lagerfeld slip-on shoes. Since many of the items are perfect for fall, I’m hoping to get a sweater and/or cardigan for the upcoming season!
Tried the Zelle leggings + a Natori bra last year and have been waiting for the sale to add more of both items to my rotation!
Patagonia Nano Puff!
I’ll be searching for a good pair of black boots that will be work appropriate for this winter. Also considering the Patagonia jacket. Thanks for the tip!
Waiting to stock up on Purity by Philosophy, my go-to face wash!
And I would consider buying the barefoot dreams robe or cardigan if I won.
Thanks for sharing, I’ve been loving all the home content lately!!
I’m looking to buy a Tori Burch bag and some mules!
I love the Liza dress and always get the Natori bra! Love the Kiehl’s 2.5 oz hand salve and put in my go bag for plane travel. It smells so good!
I love the natori bras! I’m stocking up for sure! Also love their strapless, it’s the only one that works for.
Definitely eyeing the silk pillowcases! I’ve been sleeping on making this decision a while now…..pun intended. (;
The Gal Meets Glam dress was so beautiful in store!! I definitely stocked up on some beautiful new sweaters from the sale and found the most gorgeous 40s style dress from Madewell. I’ve loved shopping the sale the last few years but you’re so right- I feel like I now have a solid selection of staple pieces so so I don’t feel like I need to buy much more every year. It’s a great time to restock any of my favorites that may have worn out though!
Looking at the Nike blazer low sneaker in pink! 🙂
Oh my word, that cashmere cardigan is JUST what I needed! I’m a teacher and I’m always in need of layers so I can warm up or cool off when needed. It’s so beautiful 😭
Hi Carly,
Wonderful post! Love seeing your pics. I’m eyeing the Barbour jacket!!
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Have a great weekend.
Gia
The Hunter rain boots would be fabulous!!
The cashmere cardigan would be fabulous!!
Ugg slippers and Neulash!
Hi Carly, my sister recommended me to you as she put it “you are the american reincarnation of me” I am not so sure about that but I have been following you for a few years and I do really enjoy your insights, product reviews and always love your dress picks. I feel our closets would definitely do well together 🙂 and I also got the tory burch riding boots last year and its definitely a clear timeless winner on your recommendation and eyeing the silk pillows this year. So I just wanted to say thank you and that I appreciate the effort and work you put into your work.
I have my eye on the GMG dresses! Love all the dresses Julia comes out with and can’t deny a sale;)
I am definitely looking at some pajamas and active wear – really drawn to the Nike sports bra you included above, so I might have to purchase that!
I L-O-V-E a good striped shirt and those beautiful and classic Commes de Garçon long sleeves are exactly what I’ve been saving up for. I’ll also be doing some traveling in Europe (for the first time!) and I want a versatile jacket.
I always appreciate how thoughtful your posts are. Thanks for always being so honest with us readers! I honestly would mostly buy some more workout clothes, because I run a lot and hate doing laundry; anything to help put it off another day ha. I’m also eyeing some of the Gal Meets Glam dresses 🙂
That Pendleton coat is super cute. I wonder if it would be too hot for summer showers in TPA.
Great roll up! I wanted the spanx leather leggings… but they sold out 🙁

I am loving the short Frye booties and the Diptyque candle travel set!
I’ve been eyeing the traditional Barbour jacket for months, so I think I’ll make the leap and invest in a good jacket😊
I have my eye on some outwear, mainly Patagonia and North Face. I also am trying to find a comfortable pair of cute flats. Thanks for this post! I love that you don’t feel the need to shop at every major sale. I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate you creating authentic and realistic content!!

Cannot wait to purchase slip pillowcases and new rain boots! 💗
Wow! There are so many different things in your list that I’ve considered getting for along time now (but have always hesitated on because of the price tag). Packable Hunter rain boots (I may be taking a trip to Iceland in the beginning of 2020, and I think they seem perfect to include in my suitcase), the feather bra looks lovely, I’ve also followed Julia Engel’s blog for years and her dresses are beautiful, the slip pillowcases have the most wonderful reviews online, and just like you said the Pendleton is a classic! There are so many wonderful things to consider, but it’s great to know that you recommend so many of the items I’ve thought about buying for so long now! Thank you for the article! 🙂
I’m looking at the silk pillowcases!
Omg! I never knew those Hunter boots existed!!! Definitely will need a pair of those! I also am eyeing a Barefoot Dreams Blanket and some new sports bras… also the mini set of diptyque candles 😬
Every year I tell myself that I will snag the Barbour coat, while I haven’t in the past- I think this year is the year.
Looking for some good quality denim and some good fall booties!
The Natori bras! It’s so hard to find a good classic bra with a size 30 band. I’m obsessed!
I’ve wanted one of those silk pillowcases for a while! And I wouldn’t mind another pair of Hunters…especially the packable ones!
I’m thinking about the GMG Liza dress. I love the colors and pattern!
I’ve been eyeing anything cashmere with this sale, particularly a cardigan or pashmina! Which like you said, can be used year round with traveling.

Too many things between Prime day and Anniversary sale! I got a pink chevron rolling carry on (Nordstrom brand), some new brown boots and some cat-eye aviator sunnies!!

Looove the gal meets glam dress and definitely stocking up on the Lancôme makeup remover!

Thinking of getting the Packable Hunters! Wish the packables came in shorter lengths though
Skincare skincare skincare!!
Also would love to splurge on some basics like a good pair of ankle boots and nice underwear 🙂

I am headed to Nordstrom in the morning to see what’s left to snag! Thanks for the recommendations, I’m eyeing the yellow rain jacket for fall! 😊
Oh, I love that pitcher from Anthropologie! Definitely adding it to my purchase list. I’m also eyeing some new workout clothes as I prepare for a half marathon in November…all of my current clothes are looking ragged!

Absolutely eying the Patagonia nano puff. I’ve been looking at them for the past few years but so far the right moment just hasn’t come yet.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale can be overwhelming. Thank you for posting your top picks.

I’d replace my beloved hunter boots, and buy the perfect rehearsal dinner outfit for my upcoming wedding! ❤️ you, Carly!
The longer North Face parka for winters on Nantucket! My new place of employment year round as of last week! Teacher saving money on staple items. 🙂
I love your honesty & candor regarding the sale. There were many items cancelled from my order and the FOMO was real. I’m obsessed with Julia’s dress & one piece navy jumper as well! Thank you for all you do.
The hunter boots are a staple in my wardrobe too!
Some new activewear!

I love hearing your picks for workout clothes!
Thinking about the cashmere cardigan!
I’m thinking that this may be the year to get the Patagonia Nano Puff! I know it will be perfect on my walks to and from class during the fall/spring. And I may upgrade my silk pillowcase (which I also LOVE) because I’ve had it for a few years.
I like the Barbour rain coat and I’m hoping it comes back in my size!!!
Looking at those Barbour jackets!!
Those Hunter packable boots! I have been eyeing them for years and I now have a lengthy walk into work from where I park and they would be perfect for rainy days.

I love the Gal Meets Glam dress! Beautiful!
Totally agree about that bra! Own it and love it. I’m a sucker for all the shoes personally!
Your post peaked my interest in the packable
Hunter boots. I like the idea of them being more lightweight than the original. I restocked on my oribe hair products. Currently eyeing a barefoot dreams throw. Thanks for the recs!
I REALLY want a Barefoot Dreams cardigan… or two 🙂 We have some Barefoot Dreams things for my daughter and they are SO SOFT. Mama wants to treat herself now haha
Thank you so much for keeping it real and not posting a million “must have” ridiculous items. I don’t even bother reading those posts on other blogs. Like you, I just bought a new house so I am looking for cozy throws and other home essentials.
Your post peaked my interest in the packable
Hunter boots. I like the idea of them being more lightweight than the original. I restocked on my oribe hair products. Currently eyeing a barefoot dreams throw.
I’ve got my eye on the cashmere cardigan you featured!
I’ve been dying to get a Gal Meets Glam dress, and would most certainly use the gift card on one or two of them 🙂
Thanks so much for putting together this list!! Super helpful! After this super rainy spring I’m definitely looking to upgrade my rain boots + jacket. Thanks for including both of those in this list !! The black Pendleton with the tartan lining is so cute!
I’m looking at the Patagonia Nanopuff and some fall basics!
I am looking at the Gal Meets Glam dress as it is so cute and would be worn now and in the fall with a bit of tweaking for the seasons. I am also looking at the Natori bras because I keep seeing great comments about them!
Thanks, Carly! I am hoping to snag some Nike workout gear.
I’m with you and sticking with basics! x
I’m eyeing the GMG dress you recommend for a early fall wedding as well as sports and regular bras! I need to stock up for back school (teacher here!).
I’ve been eyeing those Carly boots for a while now!! I also love that Gal Meets Glam dresses are included, such a fantastic brand that I would love to have more of!
Thanks for sharing! It’s so nice to see bloggers promoting basic and classic items rather than trendy things!
Love the round up (and the reminder to not get caught up in the thrill of the sale)! I’m eyeing the slip pillow cases !
Investing in a good pair of denim!
I’ll be absolutely scooping up my favorite Nordstrom brand pajamas which feel like a cloud, nude Cole Haan kicks, majorly stocking up on hanky panky, and take advantage of the Slip pillowcase deal for sweet cozy dreams. Still debating about another pair of Blondo boots- they are just that amazing
Love this post💕 I wanted to get the barefoot dreams leopard blanket, but they were sold out the first day of the sale! (Sad) So I settled for a dainty Kate spade initial necklace and a diffuser 😂 I’ll try again next year! Lol!
I will definitely be shopping the classic Pendleton Rain Jacket and the Hunter Tour Packable Boots! I am a huge fan of rain gear (not so much the actual rain lol) and would love to add both of these pieces to my wardrobe. They are just too cute to pass up! Going to school in a rainy city definitely makes these items a necessity!
I’m eyeing the madewell tote leather bag in navy and some leopard flats. Haven’t decided on which brand yet.
I’m all about that Barbour Jacket. It’s basically three season appropriate where I live, so it would get a lot of wear!
There is a beautiful, gray Ted Baker coat that I would love as a more polished work/event option!
Love these items especially the Barbour jacket! I have my eye on cute workout clothes so I am motivated to go to the gym. Or to just look cute not going to the gym 🙂
Looking to replace my Natori bras and would love to get some goodies for my husband!
The pendleton rainjacket is so cute!
Buying the Bobbi Brown lip set since it’s reasonable and her makeup is pricey but high quality.
My eye is on those hunter boots !! My current ones are kicking the bucket after using them for 7 years now. (Crazy I know)
I have my eye on all the pink sweaters and way too many pairs of shoes!!
I definitely need more work basics and I also love that Natori bra!
I’m eyeing up some Eliza J dresses! Going into my second year of law school and looking to expand my “professional” wardrobe!
Thanks for your tips! I love Patagonia and it’s a great opportunity to get those pieces on sale. I’m also looking at the Kriston waterproof bootie from UGG for the winter.
I loved the Natori bras, great time to stock up! Very interested in the silk pillowcases and some fragrances.
I’m eyeing some leopard loafers – love the classic look with a fun twist!
I’m hoping to stock up in Zella leggings and interested in the Barbour lightweight jacket for where I go to school in NC!
Excited for some new Zella leggings!
I first discovered the Nsale from your blog a while back so only fitting I read your picks yearly now! I’m hoping to snag some booties and the gray cashmere drape
I’m eyeing some Sam Edelman booties! I’ve had mine for 5 years and I’ve completely worn out the inside
A beautifulTory Burch bag!
I want to invest in some nice boots or raincoat. Thanks for sharing Carly 😊
Well now that you mentioned that Barbour coat I’m going to have to pick that up! Also cashmere sweater…
I am going to splurge on a new pair of sneakers! I just started working as a scribe and I’m on my feet all day so I need a super comfy pair!
I’ve already bought so much in this sale! Favorite piece so far has been a pair of halo CZ earrings that look like the real thing! Considering going back for designer denim.
All the Gal Meets Glam dresses
Still don’t own a Barbour coat and this may be my chance!
Definitely could stock up on some more workout gear!
Hi Carly! I’ve been following you since your Georgetown days!! I love all of your content!! I’m eyeing quite a few pieces from the sale. I’m an elementary school teacher and wish I could afford to buy many of the sweaters and dresses for my school wardrobe. Unfortunately, because I’m a teacher in NC, and because I’ve spent an insane amount already on my classroom this summer, I don’t have the wiggle room in my budget to purchase anything from the sale. The $500 gift card would be a huge help!
Love your picks, Carly! They’re very curated and great classic pieces. Loving the Pendleton rain jacket! Will be great for an upcoming trip to Ireland!
Would love to get a Barbour coat before fall!
Carly, this is a great list! I’ve been wanting to try a Patagonia jacket for a lighter winter coat, but was afraid I wouldn’t be warm enough! Definitely think I’m gonna try it out though! Also the hunter boots are my favorite and I need a pair I can travel with!! Thanks for the ideas!!
I am going to get the Lancôme Bi-Facil! I was just looking for a new makeup remover that’s not too oily and haven’t been able to find a good one after Estée Lauder expired my favorite one. This is a sign to try this one, thanks!
I’m thinking about getting the raincoat but I can’t find anywhere that tells me if its water PROOF or water RESISTANT. I have to stand outside for a lot of my job and a water resistant jacket doesnt do me any good if Im outside for hours in the rain.
Love your take on the sale. I always stock up on bras and underwear during the sale, and am in the market for a new pair of boots, too!
I’m eyeing a new Elomi bra and some VERY cute baby clothes
Always eying a Gal Meeta Glam dress! But also looking for dresses that will be perfect for my upcoming honeymoon in Africa!
Slip silk pillowcases!
I have been eyeing those silk pillowcases but wasn’t sure if they were worth it. Might be adding to my cart ASAP.
Great list Carly! I’m definitely gonna snag some Zella live in high waist leggings! My fav!! I also will be picking up some new towels from Nordstrom’s home collection. This sale is a great time to stock up on some new items!!
I’m eyeing a couple of leather jackets and fall booties!
Love these picks!! The Nsale has gotten so insane over the last few years and then all the sudden everyone owns the same three tops or cardigans that were all over insta lol. I so appreciate you focusing yours on fewer and more classic/investment pieces! My mom has been raving about those same pillowcases so I think I’m going to go for a set of those and then choose between that beautiful raincoat or a Barbour jacket! Thanks Carly, love you!!
After successfully dropping a ton of weight (thank you yoga!) I am needing to stock up on essentials like that beautiful bra! I live in DC and am needing to be more rain prepared as well and that yellow rain jacket is ADORABLE! Thanks for sharing, Carly!
Thanks for the recommendations, especially the tip about the packable Hunter boots – I am checking those out now! I’m also eyeing a wool hat, some cozy sweaters, and some Nike running shorts!
A new coat and I also love the Natori bras – would definitely want to get a couple!

The Barbour coat!
I’m eyeing ALL the activewear lol. Working out is something I love but goodness gracious good gear can be so expensive.
Such a good list! I didn’t realize the hunter boots were on sale!
Love it all! Thanks for the recommendations !
Barbour coat! Pick me!! (:
I’ve been eyeing a classic Barbour jacket for years!! Love these pics all classic and can last for years!

I just bought my first home and (like you) am also trying to correct my neck and back issues (working in a hospital is HARD on your back) so I’m absolutely splurging on those slip silk pillowcases to go with my new mattress and I think it’ll be a match made in heaven!
I’m starting my first full-time job in the fall so I want to get a lot of cute but also professional clothes! Love the Tory Burch flats and trying to find a suitcase for work trips!
I love that Pendleton rain jacket! The yellow color especially is so cute and perfect for a dull rainy day.
Hey Carly! I’ve got my eye on all things outerwear–particularly the Patagonia jackets! I’m moving to Minnesota for a new job (from Maryland) so I’m going to need a few more coats. Thanks for putting this together!

I’m eyeing that Barbour coat for sure! I love Barbour and my old coat tore and I was so sad! I’d love to replace it with a new one. They’re so durable and warm especially for an equestrian like me.
I love stocking up on AG jeans for the year, but I love your idea of buying Hunter boots during the sale! I had never thought to get them there before!
I love that raincoat! The color really pops.
Gal meets glam!

But trying to save my pennies for my trip to Australia in October :). Thanks for the constant inspiration in both fashion and mental wellness. Congrats on the new home!
Great picks! I’m definitely eyeing a new pair of rain boots!
I’m obsessed with the Pendleton rain jacket in yellow. I was just about to buy a new one from jcrew, but this one takes the cake!
I’m eyeing the Steve Madden OTK boots for sure, after you flagged them, might also get another Nano Puff and that adorable Pendleton rain jacket! (I’m going to the U.K. for a year, so those may be good investments haha)
Hi Carly!! I’m definitely eyeing the hunter boots! I’ve always wanted a pair! Xoxo

I’d love to buy some Quality pieces that will last me some good years. I’ve also had my eye on those hunter boots.
I’m thinking about investing in the Patagonia coat….bring on Midwest winters
I’m contemplating the Spanx faux leather leggings. I like leggings and I like black leggings but the faux leather both intrigues me and also makes me hesitate because it might be too “edgy” for my casual style? Fortunately they’re still in stock so I have a little time to decide.
I will be shopping for cashmere sweaters
I used to work at Nordstrom and always find myself over indulging during the Anniversary Sale. It’s my favorite time of the year to do Christmas shopping. Thanks for all the tips, Carly, especially the silk pillowcases!
Love all of these picks! Such great classic pieces!
Taylor
Recently moved to the Midwest from the South so I’m excited for all the coats on sale this year. Gotta stock up for the long winters ahead!
[email protected]
I am also very tempted by the Carly boots! They even spelt it correctly hehe!
I wasn’t looking for this until I read your post but reading your post reminded me that while in Asheville last fall for a mother daughters trip most girls and some moms had the Patagonia puffer coat and raved about them. I think perfect weight for Tampa. Also thought the over the knee black Steve Madden boots for my daughter.
I would love to buy the Natori feather bra!
The Barbour coat is a classic. I will love to have.
I must be a true shopaholic, because I love everything I see on this page.
I have Zella leggings & the Patagonia Nano Puff from sales past. I wound up with the barefoot dreams blanket (currently typing from underneath it – ha!), more Natori bras, and a bunch of the Kiehl’s big bottles!
Oh, it also should be noted that your reco – maybe two years ago? – for a yellow Pendleton coat encouraged me to buy a yellow Pendleton. I love wearing it around the city on rainy days because it’s so bright. Makes me happy.
I’m interested in the patagonia nano puff and the gal meets glam dress!
I would like a pair of those packable Hunter rain boots, they’re such an easy color to wear for and easy to pack for my move to Boston!

Great call on the Barbour coat – gorgeousss! I rarely get to splurge but I think it’s time to give these lightweight Hunters a try. I know they’re a staple that will do me well for a long time. I’ve also been eyeing the Grayson Hero Cozy Gotten Shirt… And about 4,000 other things haha
The Gal meets Glam dress & the Pendleton coat!
