Hi! So considering that one of my most favorite (and longest!) wish lists is for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale I have decided that my first blog post should be about what I ordered and what I hope to get next year that I missed out on!
So let’s get to it, shall we?
Clothing
Patagonia Nano Puff Water Resistant Jacket
I’ve wanted a one these nano puff jackets for years, but I never pulled the trigger because I have a perfectly fine long black North Face jacket that I have worn for several winters. However, this year I told myself that it had been enough years of me wearing this same drab thing and the time had come for me to order the short nano puff style. I was super annoyed because I literally ordered this jacket in Pesto (gorgeous green shade) and Black on day 1 of the sale at around 2pm AND THEN I got an email from Nordstrom saying the Pesto was sold out! And thus began a frustrating process of several items that I wanted to purchase being sold out. I guess the economy is booming because everyone be buying everything. 😉 Anyhoo – long story, short that weekend I went to the closest Nordstrom and found this jacket in grey in my size and got it. I actually do like the Grey but I still have Pesto on my mind and I am still deciding whether or not to return it and just pay more for Pesto once it is back in stock and the sale is over. I need some opinions plz.
Regarding the black, I did like it, but I have enough black jackets so I am in between the grey and pesto at this point.
Pesto
Grey
No one really cares about socks, but these are actually the best socks ever for working out. They feature an extra cushion on the back of your ankle and WOW, what a difference. So comfy! So if you are in the market for new exercise socks – get these! Sadly, I got yet ANOTHER email from Nordstrom alerting me on Day 1 of the sale that these were sold out, but I managed to find them in store. They will definitely be back in stock after the sale ends.
The sale is always a great time to stock up on basic items like t-shirts so I got this tee in store in black and white. They are a slouchy fit at true to size. I sized down so that they are more fitted to tuck them in easily.
Speaking of basics, every year I order at least one new bra from the sale. This year I got 3!
I also ordered two long sleeve striped tee shirts by BP. These are my most favorite casual tees that you can dress up or down and I buy them every year. They best colors sell out very quickly and I got these in store.
Speaking of basics, every year I order at least one new bra from the sale. This year I got 3!
Calvin Klein Perfectly Fit Modern T-Shirt Bra
Exactly as it states, this is an excellent T-shirt bra.
Natori Rose Dream Custom Coverage Underwire Bra
Natori Feathers Underwire Contour Bra
Normally the one new bra that I order from the sale is by Natori. I’ve been reading fashion blogs for years and this is a cult favorite for good reason. They truly make the most comfortable bra. I’ve tried a few different styles and all have been comfortable to wear all day. They are expensive so the sale is the best time to buy. It’s another item that sells out quickly in popular sizes so I ordered it early.
AG the Farrah Ankle Skinny Jeans
Love these jeans! Great fit and wash. If in between sizes, I would size down because they are pretty stretchy.
Shoes
Halogen Violet Genuine Calf Hair Mule in Leopard
The combo of leopard print in a mule is perfection. Fit is TTS.
Caslon Aiden Wedge Sneaker in Taupe
Since becoming a mom I’ve accumulated quite the sneaker collection since that’s basically my everyday footwear choice. I love the fact that these have a wedge and look a little more put together than my usual look! Sizing was TTS but they do run narrow.
Beauty
So at first I didn’t purchase any beauty items but then I started browsing the selection and ended up with a few products!
First up, this La Mer The Mini Miracles Collection set. This cream smells heavenly and honestly just feels luxurious and it comes in a glass jar which just ups the luxury factor! I had only tried mini sample packets of this cream because it is crazy expensive but this mini set is a good value and a perfect way to feel a little fancier every day!
I also ordered these Sigma Kabuki Brushes which I have yet to try because it’s been about 90 degrees everyday and I can’t be bothered to put on foundation and a full face of makeup in such heat!
For hair care I ordered this Alterna Caviar Shampoo & Conditioner value set. I love their hair care products, but they are expensive so this set was a good value and sold out pretty quickly.
The only other beauty/haircare product I purchased was this Oribe Gold Lust Set. I haven’t tried it out yet but another blogger that I like to read recommended it so we shall see!
I also browsed the kids and baby section quickly and ordered this Patagonia Fleece and this Nike Dress & Legging Set.
I’ve purchased a couple of Patagonia fleeces for Blair in the past and I really think that they hold up well if you take care of them and launder correctly. The Nike set is adorable and at such a good price point.
And that’s all I have ordered!
What I missed out on:
Every year I have soooo many items that I wish I had purchased that sell out before I decide if I should pull the trigger or now. Here are three items that I am hoping come back next year or will just purchase at a higher price once they are restocked because I love them so much!
First up, this Barefoot Dreams “In the Wild” Throw. I think I have a slight blanket obsession. I’m forever spotting blankets that I want and it’s like how many blankets does one person actually need?! This one they have had out for a few years now and I’m obsessed with the original leopard print one. I’m thinking next year I really need to have this.
Keeping up with the Barefoot Dreams thread, next I was really eyeing this CozyChic Cardigan. I saw it in person in the store and I honestly thought I would never wear it out of the house because it looked too much like loungewear for the home only and for $80 that just seemed ridiculous to pay for something that I wouldn’t leave the house in. And yet I still kept adding it to my online cart! Luckily, it sold out in the only color I really wanted, but I’m thinking next year if they have it again and maybe in some different colors (I’m thinking Heather Grey would be nice), I might be sold on it.
Lastly, I have been wanting a white/cream/black plaid shirt for a while. I have in my head what the perfect one would look like, and I hadn’t been able to find it anywhere. However, This Leith Henley Woven Shirt is pretty close to what I had been envisioning. Sadly, it sold out the very first day of the sale and when I went to the store they didn’t have my size left. I loved it though and if it ever comes back, I’m definitely ordering!
That’s all for now! What are your favs from the sale? Thanks for reading 🙂
