Nordstrom is known for having great sales. There are two in particular that can send a city girl shopping in the burbs: The “Half-Yearly Sale” and the “Anniversary Sale.” The Half-Yearly sale is clearance, usually towards the end of the season. (Like, now.) The Anniversary Sale is a presale before the new collection hits the department store floor.

Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale begins Monday at 3am for Nordstrom credit card holders. The sale consists of a catalog of pre-Fall merchandise that is discounted 25% to 40% off. Each department has its own special items that are featured in the pre-Fall sale. You can sift through the catalog options right here.

The presale t is limited to customers who have a Nordstrom credit card. Afterward, on July 28, the sale opens to the general public. Prices return to normal once the sale ends near the end of the month.

“Back-to-school” items and baby gear are especially attractive during this Nordies sale. It’s interesting that more upscale designers have realized that pre-gaming sale season is better than post-season markdowns. Don’t forget to also check out the beauty deals. We are always a sucker for a new shade of lipstick or updated nail polish. 

Most of the most popular merchandise sells out before the sale opens to the public. That might be enough incentive to open a card or find a close friend who already has an account. Above are our favorite sales picks. We will be sure to keep this space updated as new items are spotted. 

Bergdorf Goodman started its final markdowns. Discounts top 75% off. This is always our favorite sale as you can score some true designer treasures for little more than the price of fast fashion. If you can find your way into the store you’ll find an even larger selection. Below are some of our favorite pieces that are available online. Take note that size availability is limited.
