IMPORTANT DATES

The sale begins for Nordstrom cardholders on July 12, 2018. The sale will be open to the public beginning on July 20, 2018. I know that some people don’t like credit cards but in my opinion, it’s worth signing up for in order to get early access. Things go FAST and many items will be sold out by the0th. It’s important to note that you don’t have to actually USE the credit card in order to get access on July 12, you just need to have one. Prices will go up August 6.

• SIGN UP FOR A NORDSTROM CREDIT CARD

Right now, if you sign up for a card, you will receive a $40 Nordstrom note (which is free money) when you make a purchase upon approval. You can spend ANY amount and still receive the note!  Sign up for a card right here.

IMPORTANT INFO

• The items that will be available for sale are all NEW fall items! The sale will also include home decor, kids, mens, jewelry, and beauty!
• You will be allowed to use your “triple points” days during the sale.
• Popular brands that are typically part of the sale include Barefoot Dreams, Born, Halogen, Ugg, and Blondo etc.!

• You can browse the catalog now but I never find the catalog very impressive. The sale typically includes much better items. Browse here.

TIPS & TRICKS

• Shop early! I plan on getting up at 3 a.m. to shop as soon as the sale goes live in order to score the best deals and put together my top picks.
• Keep checking back if your item becomes out of stock because things are often restocked as returns come back.
• Shop online! The stores can be crowded and the selection can be extremely limited. More importantly, who likes shopping while wearing pants anyways? #notthisgirl

• Hit “checkout” immediately! Since everything is free shipping, I suggest checking out every time you place something in your cart in order to avoid the item getting sold out.
• Most importantly, follow me on facebook! I will be posting like a mad woman throughout the sale. I also plan on ordering a bunch of items to review and post styling ideas. Make sure to follow me here.I think that about covers it but if you have any questions at all, just drop ’em below or on my facebook page! 

   

  HAPPY SHOPPING!
