TOP 20 Favorites from The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (Still In Stock)

The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

Today is the LAST DAY to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

My goal is to save you time and make shopping this HUGE sale simpler! For my favorites in 25+ categories, check out the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post here OR click on the tab in the main menu above! I also shared more of my favorite, completely styled outfits here and here.

Please note: This is a highly shopped sale and while there are some restocks, many products sell out quickly. Also, sizing may be limited! Our team works hard to update posts with the most recent, relevant information. At the time of updating this post, the following 20 items are still in stock.

Size reference: I’m 5’4″ and wear a size 2-4, Small & 26 jeans. Denise is 5’5″ and wears a size 6. Everything featured runs true to size unless specifically stated.

black free people cropped sweater Free People Cable Knit Sweater | The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

#1) Free People Cable Knit Sweater

We’re shocked that this Free People sweater hasn’t sold out yet! It’s such a good basic for fall. It’s the perfect cropped length for wearing with high-rise jeans, has pretty cable knit detailing, and comes in a few color options. I’m wearing the black but I also bought it in Silver Feather and Chocolate.

The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

#2) AllSaints Raw Hem Sweater

This is probably my favorite sweater from the sale! I’m wearing a grey AllSaints sweater that has an edgy, cool raw hem that makes it one of those basics-with-a-twist I’m always talking about. I like the casual look of the roomier fit and it looks great half-tucked or untucked. It’s also very soft! The online description says it’s 100% polyester but the tag on the sweater says it’s 95% cashmere and we think it feels even better than last year’s version of the sweater.

Good American Coated Jeans | The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

#3) Good American Coated Jeans

I bought last year’s version of these black coated Good American jeans and this year’s version is very similar. They have a 26.5” inseam (perfect for shorter women), are bootcut, and have a subtle coated look. Our YouTube co-producer bought last year’s version and wore them so much that she repurchased this year’s version too!

Sizing note: They run very small, order TWO sizes up.

 

Frame Puff Sleeve A-Line Dress

#4) Frame Puff Sleeve A-Line Dress

Every woman needs a versatile LBD in her closet and this one by Frame is great. It’s SO chic and perfect for events, luncheons, work, etc. It has an A-line skirt with strategically placed pleats that make for a very flattering shape. The voluminous puff sleeves are so fun, and we love that it has buttons on the top.

Open Edit Cardigan | The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

#5) Open Edit Cardigan

This longline cardigan by Open Edit is such a good basic for fall/winter. The beige color is selling out fast so if you don’t see it in your size, we recommend grabbing the dark grey or pretty blue. I like the ribbed fabric and the weight of the sweater. It’s one of those pieces you can wear casually with leggings around the house or with jeans for a casual dinner.

Frame Cropped Navy Blazer

#6) Frame Cropped Navy Blazer

If you’re looking for a blazer you can wear with everything from workwear to jeans to dress, this cropped blazer by Frame is perfect! If you work in an office, you can wear it with the matching navy trousers or style it with jeans for an elevated casual look. It’s a great length, the navy blue is really pretty, and I love the structured shoulder.

HOFF Sneakers | The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

#7) HOFF Sneakers

I was very pleasantly surprised by these HOFF sneakers. This brand is new to me, but I loved the retro look and different tones on these sneakers so much. I have on the color ‘San Diego’ but they come in a few other colors too. They’re super comfortable (have a memory foam insole), lightweight, and unique. They only come in whole sizes so if you’re in between sizes, order one size up.

Dolce Vita Platform Heels | The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

#8) Dolce Vita Platform Heels

How cute are these Dolce Vita platform sandals?! Platforms are very on-trend right now and I don’t see them going anywhere anytime soon. I love the look of the twisted straps and that it’s a chunkier block heel, which makes them easier to walk in. They have a 4” heel and a 1” platform so it’s more like walking in 3” heels…which is very manageable. They also come in beige, ivory, and pink.

Nordstrom Water-Resistant Moto Boots

#9) Nordstrom Water-Resistant Moto Boots

If you’re looking to add some edge to your look, these black Nordstrom moto boots are a must-try! They have cool buckle details and they’re water-resistant. They have a chunky sole with great tread and a very small 1.5” heel and 1” platform. You can wear these with jeans, dresses, or skirts to add a little extra edge to any look.

27 Edit Naturalizer Booties

#10) 27 Edit Naturalizer Booties

There are SO many booties in the sale and I wanted to find a pair that’s a little dressier but still very versatile. These black 27 Edit Naturalizer booties are a little extra special and unique because they’re leather and suede! The 2.75” kitten heel is very manageable, easy to walk in, and they’re very comfortable. The pointed toe really elongates the leg…especially paired with dark wash or black jeans!

Marc Fisher Knee-High Boots | The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

#11) Marc Fisher Knee-High Boots

These knee-high Marc Fisher boots are such a gorgeous beige color I had to try them on. They’re such a good basic if you don’t already have knee-high boots and they come in black leather and black suede if you don’t like the beige. They have a manageable and easy-to-walk-in 3” heel and are super comfortable (for heels).

Dolce Vita Loafers | The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

#12) Dolce Vita Loafers

If you’re looking for a pair of closed-toe flats but don’t want to go with traditional ballet flats…consider trying loafers! I’m wearing a pair of Dolce Vita loafers that are super lightweight, cool, and VERY comfortable. They would also make a great pair of work shoes. They run a little big so I would order a half size down from your normal size so your heel doesn’t slip out of the back when you walk.

Rag & Bone Hat

#13) Rag & Bone Hat

I own a few different Rag & Bone hats and they last for YEARS and they never go out of style! This one is such a good neutral for fall/winter. It’s an investment but when you think of cost per wear, it’s worth it! The quality is just that good. But this one is similar and more affordable.

Schutz Booties

#14) Schutz Booties

I love these Schutz booties so much that I bought them in white AND black! Schutz makes beautiful shoes at affordable prices, which means they’re even more affordable when they’re on sale ($120)! This pair of booties is comfortable (for heels), have a 4” heel, and a dressier feel…perfect for wearing with dresses this fall/winter or dressing up a pair of jeans.

The Best 20 Items in the Nordstrom Sale

monica vinader cocktail earrings monica vinader chain bracelet

#15) All My Monica Vinader Jewelry!

ALL of my favorite Monica Vinader jewelry is still in stock…YAY! I love Monica Vinader so much because the pieces stand the test of time. They’re pricier but I’ve been wearing the same pieces for about 3 years and don’t see any tarnishing or wear. I linked the four pieces I’m wearing below. They all make an impact and add some oomph to a look without overpowering it or being “too much”.

More Monica Vinader jewelry here.

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

#16) Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

These Spanx leggings are in the sale every single year and are easily one of the most popular items. If you scroll through Instagram during the NSale, you’ll see these leggings styled in SO many ways by so many creators. I prefer wearing them casually with a sweater and booties, but many women also like to dress them up.

Zella Tank

#17) Zella Tank

I featured this Zella crop tank/sports bra in this post where I shared some of my favorite NSale activewear pieces. If you’re looking for a classic black long-line sports bra or cropped tank, this is a wonderful option. Zella is an in-house brand for Nordstrom, and they always have great activewear during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This tank has a built-in shelf bra, supportive straps, and a flattering V-neckline. I would wear this tank for Pilates, Tracy Anderson, or yoga but it’s not quite supportive enough for HIIT or cardio. It also comes in a pretty pink and dark purple.

Quay Sunglasses

#18) Quay Sunglasses

Quay makes high-quality, on-trend sunglasses at a super affordable price point so I love to pick up a few pairs during the sale each year. This pair is a really great, classic (but still a little trendy) option to add to your sunglasses rotation!

AllSaints Handbag

#19) AllSaints Handbag

This AllSaints handbag is a a fun, edgy option to add to your wardrobe. The croc-embossed material feels very luxe and the size is perfect for holding all of the essentials (and then some).

Brow Serum

#20) Brow Serum

If you’re still dealing with the over-tweezed brows from the 90s…you need this brow serum. I’ve been using this consistently and LOVE the results…thicker, fuller, healthier-looking brows!

    1. I’m 5’4″ so they would be two inches longer on you. Cropped pants in general cut off the legs, but if you wear them with dark booties… you will keep your legs looking long. Black pumps will elongate your body too. Erin xo

  1. I love all your picks. I have already purchased (based on your recommendations) the sorel boots, the v neck sweater and the rag and bone straight leg jeans that you recommended earlier. they are all wonderful purchases. Now i am looking at the halogen faux leather pants and wondering about the sizing. The reviews say they run a little small, but the description says tts. Would you recommend sizing up? Thanks!!

  2. Hi Erin,

    I Never comment But wAnted to let you know that you are my favorite blogger. Your style advice is on point and i have learned so much froM you. I ordered the louise et cie booties and can’t wait to get them!

      1. Hi erin, how did the louise et cie booties fit you? Do you wear socks with them? Trying to dEtermine whether i should size up or if they willstretch?

    1. What I love most about this is that we have some Erin favs with 2 different body types! Erin, this would be a great idea for your future you tube and blogs. It helps those of us medium/lg sized and above would look with your same outfit! Loved this!

  3. Hi Erin

    You wore a Robert Lee Morris sculptural loop necklace in a recent how to wear a camo video I cannot locate this item (I tried your link ) do you know wedge I might find it
    Thank you also did you prefer the frame faux fur or the less expensive burgundy one from Nordstrom

    1. Looks like the necklace sold out. I bought it from Bloomingdales. I checked and it’s not there. Dillard’s also carries Robert Lee Morris, but not there either. I prefer the Frame jacket because of the color. It’s more of a cool red tone. The Sanctuary one has a lot more orange… more of a spicy or warm red.

  4. I prefer matte shadows- my eyes are a mess due to years of rubbing them because of allergies, so i really can’t wear shimmery shades. Do you know if charlotte tilbury, or anybody, makes palettes that are just matte? Also, i’m curious. When you purchase a new piece such as moto jacket, do you pass the older ones on to charity or friends, etc or do you just keep them all as a collection?

  5. What are the cat eye tortoise shell sunglasses you have picture with the Halogen Plaid Coat and the Camel Blazer? I did not see a link for those.

  6. For what its worth, the L’ageance BLazer in your post is the sAme one (in a different color) that Meghan Markle wore at Wimbledon this last weekend.

      1. Hi erin! I recenTly discovered you! ive been watching Your helpful youtube videos and have already fOund some great Basics at consignment shops locally. My first bigger purchase will probably be a moto jacket. I just cant decide on what color…do you have any tips oN that decision? I’m tall, thin, have silver long hair, in my late 40’s. I dont want to look like a biker chick. Honey brown is what im drawn to but that pHOTo oF you above in the black moto jacket with the scarf is just stunniNg! Cant decide. BUt i know i want real leAther. Thank you, heidi.

  7. I cannot locate the coral coloured North Face rain/hiking jacket any where on you blog or the Nordstrom website. Any tips?

  8. Hi there! You truly inspired me to get my Nordstrom order IN! I ordered that pink soft ruffle jacket (cuuuuute!), multirow choker and initial necklace. I can’t wait to get them! You and I have similar style in my opinion. I own some items so similar to the ones on your shipping list. BTW, I loved the way you styled your 10 outfits. AND love your channel! Look forward to seeing more from you!

  9. Hi Erin! I can’t locate the basics checklist. Could you resend, please. Love your videos & blogs! You do an amazing job. Thanks.

    1. The red jumpsuit? Not yet. I ordered a 6P, but who knows how long or short it runs. I’ll keep you posted. Erin xo

  10. Hi Erin, Every time I click on confirm card to try and place item in my shopping cart, I get and error message. I have tried multiple times through your website and entering the site on my own:(

  11. Yeah, Erin! Great choices! Hopefully I placed all of this order through your link. Seemed a little confusing when I left your picks and tried to get to just the full sale site. The embedded link didn’t work like I expected it to. But… I’ve never placed this big an order before and am trying to calm myself down knowing that Nordstrom is so good about returns. I order multiple choices of black “rain” coats in multiple sizes in order to get it right. When with North Face choices, black t’s and sweaters, the Nike sneakers, zella hoodie. Hoping to do a black and red travel scheme.

    1. Morning, Kathy! If you clicked on my link (any of them) I should still get credit.
      Sounds like you picked some good ones…
      Is there anything you think I need to add to my picks??
      Thanks so much!
      Erin xo

    2. What a mess! I managed to get the Stuart Weitzman booties I wanted at 3am but unfortunately was too tired to continue. Around 9am est I put a bunch of other items in my cart including the Alice & Olivia velvet jacket but due to the site being down it’s now sold out in my size. Very disappointed people on their Instagram account. First time doing their sale online and I can’t believe how horribly they handled this sale. Last year I stumbled onto the sale at the mall and got the Tory Burch boots you choose among other items so was eager to try online. Now I don’t even want the items not sold out.

      1. You are SO right. It was a freakin mess. I was very disappointed too. I was so focused on ‘my picks’ for the site, that I didn’t order (or try to order until late morning) and literally it wouldn’t go through for hours. And, I’m still not sure it did cause I’m waiting on confirmation order. That said, I’m still excited! I can’t help it…
        I hope they learn from this snafu and improve on it next year (and certainly for public access day on the 21st). TFS. Sorry you had such a hard time. Erin xo

        1. Thanks Erin,

          I’m really happy I was able to get the Stuart Weitzman boots so I can’t really complain. I did go back and get a few more items including two more boots, the Franco Sarto Paivley in the burgundy and Steve Madden grand bootie although I’m thinking these might be too young. We shall see. Bloomingdale’s has been my go to store for 30 years and they’ve been having their own sale this week. No similar Alice & Olivia velvet jacket on their site but they have a beautiful Satin Blazer and a Cropped Bow Collar jacket at 25% off. They have a gorgeous Lupita Embroidered Halter Maxi dress that would look lovely on you.

          Hope you get your order and look forward to your haul videos.

          1. Thanks Lorrie! I love Bloomingdales, but I don’t like the shipping. I don’t order from there much anymore because I don’t want to print a return label. Ha. How silly is that?? But, I will definitely check out the sale. Thank you for the heads up! I got those SW boots too!
