Strap on your shopping panties ladies, we’ve got a sale to shop. With July quickly approaching, we know that this means one thing — the 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is quickly approaching as well. I’ve made it NO secret that I am a huge fan of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Is it my favorite time to shop all year? Does Ryan Gosling look good with his shirt off? Exactly, the answer is yes. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is probably THEE most anticipated shopping event if you like shopping, online shopping, shopping for yourself, shopping for others, or shopping for brand spankin’ new items that immediately go on sale! Basically, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. To make things simple for you, I thought I’d breakdown the need to know about items for this years sale, but first:
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the HOTTEST sale of the year! BRAND NEW, never seen before items and classic staple pieces that rarely go on sale are discounted up to 40% off across all categories: Women’s clothing and accessories, Beauty, Mens, Kids, Home and MORE! It is the best time to stock up on brand new merchandise for fall and winter!
Nordstrom recently released their Anniversary Sale catalog to give you a little tease of the 1000s of items that will be available. From what I’ve seen in previous years, the catalog is just the teeniest, tiniest glimpse of everything that will actually be included in the sale. If you’re not seeing anything that strikes your fancy, have no fear. The sale itself is sure to be FULL of amazing goodness. Past year favorite finds include the ever so popular Zella High Waist Leggings, Born Riding Boots, Vince Camuto Booties, Premium Denim at amazing prices, Barefoot Dreams Cardigans and more!
DATES OF THE 2019 NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE
EARLY ACCESS: This year’s sale starts with Early Access on Friday, July 12that 12:30 pm EST / 9:30 am PST for Nordstrom Rewards cardholders. This is the FIRST that the sale has started during the middle of the day rather than midnight so be sure to note that change on your calendar [or subscribe to our newsletter and we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as it’s live with top picks!] If you don’t have a card yet, have no fear, there is still time to get the magic key [but act quickly – the longer you wait until July 12th the trickier it could get with having your card in time to shop]! When you have a Nordstrom credit card, you can shop the steals and deals before everyone else, 7 days to be exact. It’s pretty common for things to sell out FAST, so if you want to make sure you get exactly what you want, it’s definitely recommended to have access to shop early! Apply here to get your card! BONUS: By signing up for a Nordstrom card, you’ll get a FREE $60 Note to spend during the sale- it’s normally only $20 so this is triple the fun! Just make sure you make your purchase on the same day you’re approved for your card in order to get that $60 Note!
PUBLIC ACCESS: This year’s public access begins on Friday, July 19th at 12:30 pm EST / 9:30 am PST. If you don’t have a Nordstrom credit card, you can still see everything that is available during early access, you just won’t be able to check out. You’ll be able to add items to your wish list so that as soon as you are able to shop on July 19th, you can check out quickly and easily! Public access continues through August 6th [don’t worry, I won’t let you forget]. After that, everything will go back up to full price. And nobody likes full price, am I right?
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM LIVING IN YELLOW DURING THE SALE?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is when LIY comes ALIVE This year I will be going in-store on July 9th [if you are ICON status, you are able to shop in store three days early!] which means that I will have LOTS of outfit pictures with fit tips and hot items to share immediately when the sale starts! Not only will I share the items I was able to pick up in store, but will bring you a blog post immediately of the top 100 picks from the entire sale!
The most coveted Nordstrom Anniversary Sale blog post is always the Hits & Misses blog post where I cover every item I purchased and whether I’d recommend it or not! Expect to see this blog post the day BEFORE public access starts so you’re fully prepared on what to hit checkout on!
We have a lot of fun pieces of content up our sleeve and I can promise you that LIY will be the BEST resource to shop this year!

Founder and creator of LIY, Erin turned her dream of a hobby blog into a full-time career which she now runs alongside the LIY team! When not in front of her computer screen [with a La Croix or wine in hand] or in front of a mirror taking mirror selfies, you can find Erin spending time on the water, cuddled up with her two pups and husband most likely watching the latest Shark Tank episode, or getting lost in an easy beach read.
This might be a silly question but can you Jane items in your cart before the sale starts so once it starts you can just click buy? Or do you have to wait until say or? I swear I had items in my cart last year but they were all cleared out when I logged on but have seen a few places where people are mentioning adding to cart now. Help!
Have you heard if Nordstrom is doing a credit card promotion for this year? Last year, card holders got 0% interest for 8 months on anything bought during the sale. I definitely got more awesome stuff that way!!
Here we are, a solid three days into March, and you should see the amount of Amazon packages that have already been delivered… eek! Wrapping up Winter and getting ready to dive into Spring has us getting our face routines in order, finishing up home reno and organization projects, and transitioning to lighterweight jackets! And […]
After a year of anticipation, the day has arrived — our Liverpool Los Angeles x LIY Collection is HERE! Before you meet the entire collection below, a few quick words about WHY working with Liverpool has been a natural and super exciting partnership – I fell in love with Liverpool jeans years ago [we’re talking the early days of […]
Two years ago we were just dabbling in the world of Amazon – do people actually buy clothes here? Holy cow there is a lot of stuff! Wait, I can buy THAT on Amazon? And now here we are, basically using Amazon as our Google for any and all shopping that needs to happen. And […]
Here at LIY, we believe cheap wine doesn’t have to taste like cheap wine [not that we would know the difference, since we only ever drink cheap wine]. When it comes to grocery store wines, we know firsthand how overwhelming the options can be. The shelves are stocked with endless options, most of which we’ve […]
