NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE PURCHASE REVIEW + GIVEAWAY WINNERS!
BP.Plaid Shirt: So, this was a major hit during Early Access. There’s only a couple sizes left. I linked a couple similar plaid’s in the widget above. I like mine a little big, so I’m in a Medium here. Quality is alright, not amazing but for the price I can deal …. I think I like the colors the most, though.
These are the shorts I’m wearing, but here is an identical pair for way less! Neither are included in the sale, but definitely good for the summer months. Will last you a couple years. Gotta remember … denim is an investment.
Lip Color: ‘Biscayne park’ from NARSLip Pencil Set. Sold individually here.
Wildfox ‘If At First You Don’t Succeed’ Sweatshirt: I love Wildfox sweatshirts so I had to take advantage of getting one at a discounted price, because they’re not cheap. They’re so comfy, and I always love how sarcastic and funny they are. I got an XXS. Make sure you size down.
Sultra ‘The Bombshell’ 1-inch Curling Wand: Truth be told right here …. this is the holy grail of curling wands. It’s what I’ve been using for a little over a year and I could not be more impressed. It gets hot quick and makes either tight, beauty queen curls or loose, beach waves easy to achieve in less than 10 minutes!
Lip Color: ‘Stourhead’ from NARSLip Pencil Set. Not sold individually.
NARSLip Pencil Set: I’m always looking for new lip colors. I have been in a ‘nude’ lip color mood lately, but the light pink / lavender color in this lip pencil set has me swooning and, thus, changing my ways.
Frye‘Heidi Fringe Hobo Bag: THIS. BAG. Y’ALL. Might be one of my favorite purchases from the sale. I honestly wasn’t a fan of the Tory Burch bags that were included in the #NSale [no offense if you got one; just my personal opinion], so after perusing the other options, I was instantly drawn to this one. Frye is a company that screams quality. They don’t put out anything that won’t last you a few years. Their pieces are investments, but worth every penny. At around 33% off, you are getting such a good deal on an amazing bag for Fall. Get it, girls! xo.
Kendra ScottRayne Necklace in Gunmetal / Turquoise: I fell in love with this hardware / stone combination when I saw it in the #Nsale catalog. It was circled. I had to have it. Since I wear a lot of darker tones and colors [bordeaux, olive, grey, burgundy, black, etc] in the Fall / Winter, this necklace would be a pretty compliment to those darker tones. Pops of bright color is always fun, no matter what month it is 🙂
Sonya ReneeDrusy Stud Earrings: I used to have the Kendra Scott Macy Earrings that were super similar to these but somehow misplaced them, and have been looking for a pair that could compare. When I saw these on Nordstrom’s website, I got really excited! They look so similar and are precious in person. My only critique is that they’re a little smaller than I would ideally prefer, but they’ll do for now 🙂
True story: I’m wearing this exact outfit right now as I put this post together. The plaid scarf is lightweight but still really, really warm. Can’t believe it’s only $15.90!
BP.Trott Bootie in Chocolate Leather: So, I tried on multiple booties in the store that are included in the sale and, honestly, am surprised to say I felt like these were the most comfortable. Not to mention, the style is “THE” style most gals want for booties. So, you get everything you want with these. The taupe sold out pretty fast, but this chocolate color is super cute. It doesn’t really look like chocolate but I like it. I am on the hunt for a purse that matches.
Lip Color: ‘Stourhead’ from NARSLip Pencil Set. Not sold individually.
MAC ‘Look In A Box’ Basic Brush Kit: I love the quality of all the brushes included, but hate how small they are. Just being real. Haven’t decided if I’m going to keep. BaublebarStatement Necklace & Ear Jacket Gift Set: So, I’ve been obsessed with this necklace since the holidays, but I’m gonna be honest … I’m not a HUGE fan of the earrings [I wore them in some of the photos in this post]. They’re a lot of work just to keep them straight and normal looking, and I don’t know … just not really sure if I’m ‘sold’ on them. Email me if you’re interested in buying the earrings because I really want to keep the necklace. AG‘The Stilt’ Cigarette Leg Jeans: I love these jeans. They’re super soft and comfortable, run true to size. Highly recommend them!
This plaid poncho sold out fast but there are quite a few others that are super cute and still in stock! [see above]
Lip Color: ‘Stourhead’ from NARSLip Pencil Set. Not sold individually.
Lush ‘Karly’ Shift Dress: I. LOVE. THIS DRESS. It’s one of my favorite colors to wear in the Fall and it’s the perfect shape and size. Runs true to size. Comes in multiple colors. Only $31.90!
TopshopUtility Drawstring Dress: Sometimes I’m drawn to military inspired garments, this being one of them. I really like the way it fits and the style, but I just don’t know if I’m completely sold on the color. Runs true to size.
Lip Color: ‘Sex Machine’ from NARSLip Pencil Set. Sold individually here.
LushHigh Neck Swing Dress: How cute is this dress? I know I’ve been talking about Fall a lot but the #NSale is lovin’ on us summer lover’s, too! Hurry! This dress is selling out and only $29.90!
AG‘The Stilt’ Cigarette Leg Jeans: I love these jeans. They’re super soft and comfortable, run true to size. Highly recommend them!
Louise et CieLeopard Print Ankle Strap Flats: I stopped by my local Nordstrom the other day and snagged these beauties. They remind me a lot of my old Steve Madden leopard flats that I was OB.SESSED with for so long. Leopard is the best way to add an interesting, sometimes unexpected, twist to an outfit. These are very comfortable and I think the ankle strap is an adorable touch to this edgy flat. [But, if the ankle strap isn’t your thing, here is a great option for you.]
Lush‘Perfect’ Roll Tab Sleeve Tunic: Tunics are a must for me in the Fall. Cold weather, honestly, makes me super lazy in the ‘getting ready’ department, and an easy tunic / legging / boot combo is always my go-to. This is a Fall staple that you need to stock up on now while the prices are so good!
BP.Washed Chambray Shirt: This is the softest chambray shirt I own. I can’t stand button-up’s that are stiff and thin. This one is neither. I needed a white one and felt like a $32 price tag was the perfect reason to pull the trigger.
Street Level Vegan Leather Pocket Tote: Okay, y’all. Confession. I already have the reversible one of these, but when I saw that an ALL cognac version was included in the #Nsale … I impulsively bought it … and the black one. *covers eyes* These totes amaze me, though!!! They’re not real leather but it’s a pretty legit faux, and they fit a lot of stuff and go with everything … and less than $32! Triple win.

I bought that chambray shirt today when I was there, so soft! Also tried on those jeans and think I might need to go back and get them :/ love these picks!
I love all of these picks! Especially that eggplant lush dress! Can't wait to get my hands on more than a few things in this post. Lucky me I think I won one of the gift cards too! Xoxoxo thanks Haley!
Love the chambray shirt! I have it in the traditional blue and it truly is the softest and greatest shirt. Question for you, how sheer is it in white? It's so hard to find a good white button up that isn't totally sheer!
So many things that I want in this post! I've been avoiding the Nordstrom sale posts and I should have avoided this one too! Now I can't stop thinking about so much of it!
Hi! I just wanted to stop by and say that this blog post was SO helpful! I’m similar in sizing as you and ab to get the BP plaid shirt right now & didn’t know if I wanted a small or medium. Medium it is since it fits you exactly how I’m looking for & was on the fence between two sizes. so THANK YOU!!! Happy Friday! PS – Stourhead is GORGEOUS on you x Shannon • www.essellesse.com
I totally purchased several of these items through your links! Love it all!
I love the plaid scarf and the purple dress!
