The 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the most anticipated shopping events of the summer—and it’s almost here! This once-a-year sale is your chance to shop brand-new fall merchandise at 30–40% off before the season even starts.
From denim and boots to beauty, jewelry, sweaters, and everyday basics—plus items for the entire family—it’s all included.
Keep reading for key dates, 7 insider tips, and best practices to help you get the items you’re most excited about.
1. Know Your Shopping Day
Your access to the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale depends on your Nordy Club level, based on your Nordstrom card status:
- Icons shop first
- Then Ambassadors
- Followed by Influencers
- And finally, public access, where anyone can shop using any form of payment.
If you want to shop early? You can apply online for a Nordstrom card to gain early access based on your cardholder level.
Tip: Mark your early access or shopping date on your calendar. You can begin shopping online at 12:01 AM ET on your day. Plus, having a wishlist ready makes shopping faster—and keeps track of the items you want.
2. Preview the Sale Early
You can start browsing the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale online beginning June 26th. It’s always exciting to see what’s on sale—and it’s the best way to prepare for your shopping day.
Tip: Browse the preview, note the trends (I’ll post more about this later), and take note of what catches your eye, such as elevated items. Having a plan in place helps, especially when shopping for wardrobe basics, fall layers, and early holiday gifts.
3. Follow Me on Instagram, the LTK App & the Blog
I share new content several times a day on Instagram (especially in Stories), on the LTK app @stylishsandy, and right here on the blog. I’ll be adding my top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale so you can shop by category and easily build your wishlist.
LTK Tip: In my LTK shop, make sure to tap the bell icon (located in the top right corner) to receive post notifications.

4. Make a Wishlist—Then Order Must-Haves First
When you’re ready to check out, tap on any Nordstrom item in my LTK post or here on the blog. That opens the StylishSandy shopping link—you’re still shopping directly on Nordstrom, just through my link, so I receive credit.
It’s a simple way to support the content I create and the business I’m building—and I’m genuinely grateful when you do. From there, you can continue browsing, move wishlist items over, and add any new items to your cart.
Pro tip: Be sure to check out while still in the StylishSandy link so your purchase is tracked.

5. Use a Personal Points Day
When I was a Nordstrom stylist, I always recommended this to my customers: If you’re a Nordstrom cardholder, use one of your Personal Double Points Days during the Anniversary Sale to earn extra Notes you can use on future purchases.
7. Make the Most of the Sale – Take a 2nd or 3rd Look
Start with your must-haves, but don’t be afraid to take another look. Returns come in daily, and you might spot something you missed—or decide to grab an extra piece for fall. I usually go back and pick up a few things for my husband, the grandkids, or even the house—like fresh towels!
7. Don’t Forget a Special Piece
The Anniversary Sale is a great opportunity to treat yourself to something special—perhaps a brand you’ve been eyeing, a beautiful coat, or even a piece of fine jewelry. I like to add one new piece of jewelry each year—something special that elevates everything I wear. Choose something you’re genuinely excited to reach for!
One Last Thing—Don’t Worry if It Sells Out
Nordstrom purchases a limited amount of each item for the sale, and many of us want the same pieces. Things can sell out quickly, and sometimes, even if you place an order, it may get canceled if the inventory runs out.
But don’t worry—returns happen every day, and your size might become available again.
When I worked at Nordstrom, I was always amazed by the hot items I could find for customers—even well into the sale!
I like to watch for restocks on special pieces and post updates when they’re back in stock. Check my Instagram Stories and make sure you have post notifications turned on in my LTK shop @stylishsandy so you don’t miss it!
