The 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here! What exactly is the anniversary sale? The 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the retailer’s biggest, best, and most popular sales event of the year. It lasts 12 whole days! However, the good stuff is usually gone within hours on the first day. People are vicious when it comes to saving money lol.
Nordstrom will always be my favorite retailer (despite how they closed their brick & mortars in Norfolk & Richmond 😭). You simply cannot beat their gracious return policy and wonderful customer service.
Where to Spend
Haircare
Let’s get into it. My big ticket items this year are skin and haircare. I put a good amount of money into coloring my hair, so I use high quality products to extend that color. I use the Moroccan Oil Treatment, Olaplex Shampoo, and the Bumble & Bumble UV Protectant every single day. Another daily item for me is the Dona Karan deodorant. I know, it is bougie, but now is not the time to experiment with natural deodorant. DK is the best smelling and longest lasting stuff on the market. I started using it in Baltimore and *clinically tested* it by running trays all over the city and standing in lead for 16 hours a day. 🙃
Skincare
As far as skin is concerned, I use the Anastasia Brow Liner, BHA toner, and La Mer Moisturizing Cream. Eeek, I know it is expensive. It is truly the very best on the market, and I’m a big believer in investing in your skin.
Shoes!
Anniversary Sale is always the best time to get new running shoes. I love these white and pink Asics, pink slide sandal, and these minty green cloudflow running shoes.
Where to Skip
The sale always marks down Fall & Winter items like booties, sweaters, leather leggings, etc. I’m going to be honest with you….I cannot bring myself to shop F/W right now. This heat wave is insanity. So, I say skip clothes. Truly, you may buy something and forget that you have it by the time Fall rolls around.
2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dates: When to Shop
You can start shopping at 3AM EST on the day you are eligible. And believe me, there are women out there setting alarms. Make sure all the items you like are added to your Wish List, so you can swing them over to your cart easily when it is your time.
Because I know you are curious, here is the breakdown for the different statuses:
Icon Status: Spend an annual minimum of $15,000 in Net Purchases at Nordstrom Locations using a Nordstrom Credit Card.
Ambassador Status: Spend $5,000 n Net Purchases at Nordstrom Locations using a Nordstrom Credit Card
Influencer Status: Spend $2,000 n Net Purchases at Nordstrom Locations using a Nordstrom Credit Card
Keep in mind that a lot of the beauty sales are products in a multi-pack. For things I use everyday, I LOVE that. For things I use on occasion…not so much. Don’t get fooled into buying more than you need. I made that mistake with tanning lotion in 2019 and I am still using it lol.
What are you buying this year? Let me know over on Instagram! If you want more Nordstrom content, read my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Dupes Edition. That pink scarf is one of my most complimented items ever!
Have a blessed day!
