The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened to the public today, giving us the perfect reason to give the lounge chair a break. We like to think of the promotion as a Fall pre-presale. It’s an excellent opportunity to stock up on essentials you’ll need once the temperatures drop, as well as some fun items you can enjoy right now. This sale is always a great place to grab the kids new sneakers ahead of the back-so-school panic and  snag some extra value on beauty items for yourself. The baby gear is also a good opportunity. Grandmas, get your credit cards out!  Below are some items you won’t want to miss.

I don’t know about you, but this is the time of the summer season when I begin to feel lost. I’ve already bought a few key designer items and have the basics. Most days, I find that a summer dress is too much and basic shorts and a tee are too little. It’s too hot to rely on jewelry to set your style. I know I need a few items that will carry an outfit without feeling burdensome.

I’m also well aware that if I don’t find these items soon, I’ll give up and silently declare the shopping season over. That decision will only come back to bite me when I go to pack for an August vacation and subsequent winter vacations. I am determined to find my items, and I think this Shopbop sale with an extra 25% off is the ideal place to do some digging.

I think my needs will be better met in the 40% off category, and the extra discount is perfect. Some items are already reduced 70% off, and the additional savings is practically free, right? I pulled some items that I’m considering. Let me know what you find.
