Growing up, I bonded with my mother over our mutual love of department stores. I clearly remember our first trip to Nordstrom at the Roosevelt Field mall in Long Island, N.Y. The shoe department alone had me floored. I’m still team Nordstrom all these years later, and can you blame me? They carry all of the best brands, both high-end and mid-priced, and their sales are headline-worthy. I should know; I cover Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year every July. Yep, it’s literally my job to let you know that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is happening right now, and you can shop new fall styles, must-have anti-aging creams, coveted home goods and more at best-of-year discounts.
This year, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has deals I love so much, I was actually shopping while trying to write this story. A few things currently in my cart include a sleek Coach tote that fits my laptop and daily necessities for working remotely from neighborhood cafes. It’s on sale for $250 — that’s $145 off! How could I not? I travel a lot, so I also snapped up these packable, washable and ultra-comfy Rothy’s Mary Janes for more than 40% off. Also on my list: these well-loved Zella leggings for just $50 and a Barefoot Dreams throw blanket that’s nearly $60 off.
And those are just the tip of the iceberg. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has beloved brands like Ugg, Sam Edelman, Madewell, New Balance, Levi’s and Bombas at can’t-miss prices. I pre-shopped this big sale to give you a head start on savings. If you see something like you, don’t wait — the sale runs through August 3, but the hottest deals will surely go fast.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Clothing deals
It’s partially lined with contoured plunge cups to give your bust a flattering shape and elastic-lined edges that keep the bra securely in place without digging into your skin. Senior Style Writer Rebecca Carhart called it “the epitome of fashion meets function.”
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Accessory deals
This work-friendly, pebbled leather tote is lined in fabric has a magnetic closure. And that C in the lower corner of the bag is the perfect, understated touch.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Beauty deals
This product works and now’s the time to buy it: when you can get two tubes for the price of one.
At 30% off on this jumbo tub, it’s sure to sell out fast, so add it to your cart ASAP.
The lactic-acid treatment gently yet effectively exfoliates dull surface skin, promoting cell turnover and giving even the dreariest skin a healthy, vibrant glow. While this sale price still isn’t cheap, the jumbo size is like buying in bulk — a many-months supply for $100 less than I’d normally pay.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Home deals
It’ll also add some nice color to your counter, stove and tabletop. If you’re looking for a more neutral hue, the kitchen essential also comes in black and gray.

What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a huge savings event that some people wait for all year. It’s different than other Nordstrom sales because it offers brand-new, just-released items at sale prices instead of discounts on older items. You’ll find rare discounts (our favorite!) on some of the biggest fashion, beauty and home brands on the market. It’s a great time to shop for fall and winter merchandise at reduced prices as well as score deals on trendy new arrivals and everyday essentials.
