What to Buy From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Though Mother jeans are trending, we've been wearing the brand since our college days and can confirm they’re worth the price. These are high-rise with a wide leg and a cuffed hem that makes them perfect for wearing with boots. The wash makes them look like you found them in your favorite vintage store. (Originally $288, Now $189.99)

We can’t resist a good basic. The length on this long-sleeve tee is just right — not too cropped and not too long. It’s a whole outfit when you pair it with really good jeans and a belt, but it’s also great for layering under jackets. (Originally $65, Now $39.99)

Imagine adding this to your current stack. It’s just dainty enough to wear every day, and the abstract heart isn’t overly cutesy. Pearls are perfect for all your summer outfits, and when fall hits, you still won’t be tired of it. (Originally $180, Now $119.99)

Once we started wearing Beyond Yoga bike shorts, no others could compare. The fabric is so soft, it feels like wearing nothing. They’re great for the Princess Diana outfit combo — sweatshirt, bike shorts, sunglasses (you know the one) — but you can also work out in them. (Originally $68, Now $44.99)

Who among us can resist a plaid blazer? The muted lavender and brown colorway comes off more neutral than you would think. The double-breasted style gives it a menswear look that’d be chic with jeans. Or make things more interesting and pair it with the matching skirt. (Originally $139, Now $99.99)

We’re obsessed with these chocolate suede booties. While the heel is substantially high, we’ve owned Paige shoes in the past and have found them to be incredibly comfortable. The best part? The suede is water-resistant. (Originally $428, Now $299.99)

From the collarless silhouette to the gold buttons, this leather jacket stands out from the crowd. It’s made of supple leather in a rich hue that’s described as burgundy, but looks more chocolate to us. It’ll make any outfit instantly cool. PSA: Reiss makes some of the best men’s clothing, too. (Originally $540, Now $359.99)

Once we started using these Hourglass makeup brushes, applying with our fingers just wouldn’t cut it. We’ve found that the concealer brush prevents creasing, while the foundation brush makes your base look airbrushed. The double-head brush is great for bronzer and blush. (Originally $197, Now $136)

It’s important to diversify your denim collection with a slim-straight pair. Not exactly a skinny leg, but a far cry from wide leg, these are great for pairing with heels or even tucking into riding boots. The dark wash is faded to perfection. (Originally $215, Now $143.99)

Light jacket goals. It’s made of soft, already broken-in goatskin suede and comes in a color that embodies fall. It’s a splurge, but one you’ll never get tired of wearing. (Originally $519, Now $349.99)

We recently saw someone using this as a purse, and it made us want to bring back the tiny bag trend. It’s made of faux leather that wipes off easily and has a water-resistant lining. For a more practical use, you can store your lip products in here and stash it in your bigger bag. (Originally $115, Now $85.99)

Pair this with the jacket above when it’s a little crisp in the morning and warms up by midday. It’s more sophisticated than a cotton tank and wears well on its own once you shed your jacket. A high neck is always chic. (Originally $59.50, Now $38.99)

This delicate 14-karat ring with little flowers will add a touch of playfulness to your current ring stack. It would also make a great gift. One editor has been wearing diamond huggies from this brand for years, and they still look like new. (Originally $235, Now $176.25)

If you’ve always wanted to try La Mer products but couldn’t get yourself to splurge, this set is your chance. It has mini versions of The Treatment Lotion, The Moisturizing Soft Cream, The Rejuvenating Night Cream, and The Renewal Face Oil (this is supposed to be like liquid gold for your skin). Plus, it comes with a nice pouch to keep them in. (Originally $174, Now $98)

This Hydro Flask has a wide mouth, so you can fill it with ice easily, and a chrome finish that makes it sweat-free. The double insulation keeps water cool for hours, and it’s dishwasher-safe. These limited edition colors are quite cute. (Originally $44.95, Now $29.99)

We can’t get over this fruit bag charm. It comes in orange and peach versions and would look great hanging on the brand’s weekender bag. You can store an AirTag, your AirPods, or even change in it. If loving bag charms is wrong, we don’t want to be right. (Originally $75, Now $59.99)

You’ll get a volumizing mascara, a lash serum, and a lip balm that adjusts to the color of your lips (the real star of the show). Bella Hadid uses this lip balm, so we’re using it. You’ll also get a Dior cosmetics pouch. (Originally $94, Now $73)

Time and time again, this Natori bra comes out on top as the best T-shirt bra. It has a plunging shape with mesh on top and lace trim. It’s hard to imagine a bra this pretty could actually be comfortable, but it is. (Originally $68, Now $44.99)

Big sunglasses are back, baby. We’re excited to ditch the tiny frames and bring back the aughts-inspired oversized ones. This standout Gucci pair features an understated logo that really lets the large square shape shine. The sunglasses deals are always good but sell out quickly, so don’t wait. (Originally $375, Now $250.99)
