I’ve scoured the entire Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and found my top picks from all categories. These are my tried and true sale favorites, and also items I’m planning to splurge on this year!
Tomorrow the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the first eligible shoppers! I’ll be shopping in store tomorrow and checking things out in person, so some of these picks may slightly change as I feel things and try things on, but I feel pretty confident in this list.
I’ve divided this list of top favorites into two categories:
- Tried and true favorites
- My top picks I’m considering splurging on this year
Watch my instagram stories over the next few days to see if anything unexpectedly jumps to the top of the recommended list, or something ends up not being as good as I hoped.
You can see all my first look favorite picks HERE in every category!
Tried and true favorites from the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
1. Donna Karen Deodorant. This always sells out in a hot second – stock up before it’s gone!!
2. Natori Bra. This is one of the best bras ever! So comfortable and I always grab one during the sale.
3. Chelsea Boots. This is a new chelsea boot in the sale this year – you guys know I love a good chelsea boot, and if you’re looking for a really versatile dress up/dress down boot for fall, this could be a great option. I’ll be trying on in store to see if I really love it!
4. Pura Refills. I use my Pura air fresheners all year long, and love changing out the scents based on the season. I’m definitely stocking up on these while they’re on sale! If you don’t have the base, get the bundle here and you’re all set.
5. Black Knee High Boots. I don’t have this exact pair, but I have a pair very similar to this that I wore SO MANY TIMES last year. The pair I purchased last year was around $300, so getting these for $150 would be a great investment without spending a fortune. I love the shape and the slight western vibe. I’d recommend the shiny black pair, but the tan suede would be amazing too.
6. Charlotte Tilbury Lip Kit. I’ve bought this from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for the last three years and it’s my favorite neutral lip color that I can wear all year long. It comes with a liner pencil, lipstick, and gloss, and I use a combo of all three for a perfect lip.
7. Zella Studio Luxe Leggings. I’ve been a zella leggings fan for years, and love the original Live In pair for everyday leggings, but this Studio Luxe version is amazing for workouts, are a little lighter weight than the Live In, and have a pocket on the side.
8. Hero Hair Towel. This hair towel is life changing! It shortens my hair drying time by about half, and it’s so gentle on your hair. Definitely grab one on sale.
9. Striped long sleeve tee. A long sleeve striped tee is an absolute staple in my closet during the fall and winter. Take this change to grab a great one!
10. Moonlight pajama set. These are the softest pajamas ever! I always get a pair during the sale, and I love the new prints.
11. Open Edit Black Blazer. I have this blazer and it’s my favorite basic blazer ever- the fit is tremendous! I wear mine often.
12. Zella Joggers. These are my all time favorite jogger pants. If you love wearing joggers, get these — they don’t sag or stretch out throughout the day and they’re a perfect fit.
13. Trench Coat. A classic trench coat is a great staple for any woman’s closet! If you live somewhere that doesn’t get super cold, it’s a great layer that you’ll be able to wear even in a warmer winter. This one looks like a great length too.
14. Natori Sports Bra. This is a bra I grab every year! I have a couple already in my closet and they’re very comfy and supportive.
15. Riding Boot. I have a pair of these riding boots that I bought a few years ago and I wear them so much during the fall and winter! It’s a great time to grab them on major sale.
16. Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings. These earrings are a must have! Such a good staple to have in your closet, and you can choose the size — big or small.
My top picks I’m considering splurging on this year
1. Farm Rio Top. Farm Rio in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale always sells out in a hot second, but I really love this top and I think it’s a fun better than basic top you could wear during the summer and then also through the fall and winter with layers!
2. Printed Midi Skirt. This skirt made me gasp when I saw it! I hope it’s amazing in person, cause if it is it’s coming home with me.
3. Plaid Coat. I have all the classic coats I could ever need, but a plaid coat? I’m obsessed. My closet wants this!
4. Ruffle Sleeve Sweater Top. This top is so cute and definitely a good better than basic I’ll be able to wear through summer and through fall. I love the details that make it special but still neutral.
5. Printed Shirt dress. This is another splurge dress I’m considering! It’s so gorgeous and I think it’ll be great during summer with a flat and in fall and winter with a boot!
6. Suede Shoulder Bag. Love the shape and the dark chocolate color! I don’t have a big bag in this color, and I think this will be great for fall.
7. Mother Jeans. If you’ve never tried Mother brand jeans, they are SO COMFY. I’m definitely trying these on, and if I like the fit, they’re going home with me. I love the wide leg full length style!
8. Raffia Heels. These heels are SO CUTE and I cannot wait to try these!
9. Nagheti St. Barth’s Bag. I’ve been wanting this bag for ages! I’ll need to see the color in person to see if it’s what I want, but I think this might be my year to splurge!
10. Floral Dress. I love a floral dress, and this one looks like it’ll be great for summer and then into fall with ankle or tall boots. I’d wear it for date night, church, or even a wedding!
