Nordstrom Anniversary Sale TOP rated items + open to public!

There have been a LOT of good sales lately, but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is hands down one of the best of the entire year, and it goes PUBLIC today!! If you didn't already know, the Anniversary Sale is my go-to sale for getting brand new items from the very best brands at prices you'll only see once a year. Today I'm breaking down the TOP-RATED pieces of the sale that you'll want to grab first before they sell out!

Nordstrom Restock 411

Because of COVID19, the Anniversary Sale has been completely different than previous years, so it's very hard to know what to expect when it comes to restocks. I saw in our Mint Arrow Besties Group over the weekend that a lot of you are frustrated about all the out of stock items. I'm frustrated too.

In the past, items in the catalog were restocked once the sale opened to the public. We're crossing ALL our fingers that that happens TODAY, but since we're totally BFFs we're here to help! We will be updating you on restocks throughout the Anniversary sale HERE. Pin it, bookmark it and keep an eye on it, because we've got all your restocks covered in one place!

A Perfect Tee

This is my favorite t-shirt of the Anniversary Sale and it's earning top marks. At just $15.90 (after sale: $25) it's an insanely good deal for a totally timeless wardrobe essential! I love how buttery soft this super soft cotton tee is and think the fit very flattering. It is such great layering piece because it's lightweight and has a great relaxed fit. Pieces that can easily be dressed up or down and layered as the weather changes are the BEST kind of pieces to stock up on at the Anniversary Sale. This tee checks all the boxes!

5 Star Leggings

Over 6000+ near perfect reviews can't be wrong! These high-waisted Zella Live In Leggings are a loooooong time favorite of mine. They have been a wardrobe go-to for me for YEARS that I can't ever stop wearing! With graphic tees and tunic tops-they are just the BEST! Zella leggings are super duper comfortable and for $38.90 during the sale, they're also a steal (after sale: $59)!

The basic black is my very favorite because they are not see-through even a little bit and they're great for wearing everywhere and with everything. Major wardrobe staple goodness.

THE Coziest Cardi

The Barefoot Dreams cardigan is always a hot Anniversary Sale item! They sell out almost every year. This cardigan regularly earns THOUSANDS of top-rated, flawless reviews from Nordstrom shoppers so I'll be shocked if this cardigan stays in stock much longer! It's the magical unicorn of sweaters because it feels like you're wearing a blanket or the very coziest robe, but you still look like a totally normal (cute) person!

I can wear this thing literally ANYWHERE! This is a cardigan I absolutely LIVE in year round because it's lightweight but still provides warmth. They're totally amazing and they last forever. During the sale this sweater is $68.90 and $116 if you wait!

Stay At Home Slippers

As far as I'm concerned Ugg slippers are a loungewear essential. There is just nothing in this world quite like a brand new pair of Ugg slippers. So soft and cozy and comfy and yummy that first wear. Ugg slippers are just a total classic dream and they last FOREVER. These are $59.90 (after sale: $90) during the Anniversary Sale, which is an INSANE price for Ugg slippers. These would make the perfect Christmas gift for just about anybody-including yourself!

Obsession Worthy Pajamas

OBSESSED is a total understatement when talking about these Nordstrom Moonlight Pajamas–I talk about them ALL the time! They're included in my Nordstrom Anniversary coverage EVERY year, they are featured on all my gift guides, and they are even included in my BEST baby registry list. They are next level good. Buttery soft, lightweight and oh so comfortable for sleeping!

This year they came in a BRAND NEW short sleeve style and they're even cheaper than past years. As promised my Buy First guide, the new cropped style sold out in a blink (we're keeping an eye on those restocks), but you can still snag the classics for just $39.90 (after sale: $65). This is the very best time of year to add these to your cart (and your bedtime routine). They are the BEST pajamas you'll ever buy. Promise.

Slip-On Sneakers

The Ilse Jacobsen Tulip Slip-On has over 500 hundred flawless reviews on the Nordstrom website. It's also one of the TOP-RATED shoes in the Anniversary Sale. I haven't had a chance to try them myself yet, but these are known for being the ULTIMATE comfy slip-on or off shoe. You don't even have to tie them! They're said to be very comfortable and no break-in time is required. Plus they are machine washable.

Happy Nordstrom Shopping!!
