IT HAS BEEN A WEEK!

Or two…I don’t really remember at this point.

My fellow school counselors….ya’ll know how my life is right now. Schedules are due to come out on Friday and we’re not even close to ready for it despite the fact that we’ve all been working overtime for two weeks trying to get them there.

My eyes and my head literally can’t look at this anymore. But I have to when I’m done here….and I’m not ready.

Anyway, let me stop complaining for a minute and get to why you’re really here. If you are shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year I wanted to share all of my favorite items from the sale.

I will say, I know a lot of people are underwhelmed by the selection this year. I can see why people aren’t super excited, but at the same time there are some really great pieces in there, especially if you’re shopping for basics or closet staples (which is typically what I shop for).

I decided to break down my selections into categories: Best in Home, Best in Beauty, Best Closet Staples, and Splurges. Splurges are obviously up to personal opinion. Some things that may be a splurge to me, may be a staple to you and vice versa.

Like I mentioned in my previous post; I typically have the one big thing I want in the sale, replenishing items I use frequently, and also to stock up on closet staples that I will wear all throughout the year.

Everything you see here is currently in stock; that may change, especially if you aren’t shopping until the 19th. I will update before general access opens with things that are in and out of stock and try to suggest substitutions if I can!
