I hope everyone has been having a good couple of weeks! Just and I headed up to Napa at the end of last week, returned home Saturday, and headed back out with the girls this past Monday for a road trip up to CA coast. It’s been a great time so far and looking forward to making more memories with the girls…
Popping in to share my annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post… which I’m approaching the same way I have been for the past several years. I’ve rounded up all the items we personally own and love that are included… and then added a few items that I have on my wishlist and hope to purchase when I can shop the sale (which is Wednesday). There is always so much hype around the sale and I always try to make purchases that I know I will get many wears out of. So, if you’re in the market for some new items, then this post is for you… and if you’re passing in the sale this year, feel free to pass on this post!
I hope you all have a great rest of the week and see you next week!

WOMEN’S
LEGGINGS
A lot of my favorite pairs of leggings are included in this year’s sale… many pairs that I’ve had for several seasons. This soft pocket pair of leggings was a purchase last year… they’re just like the name says, super soft and have great pockets… I wear them lounging or on walks. I also always recommend the SPANX faux leather leggings (so good for the fall and winter) since they’re a great closet basic. I’ve also had these Zella live-in leggings for about 5 years now… and these were my favorite maternity leggings for working out (these are one of my go-to 7/8, side pocket, leggings for running). ALO’s 7/8th length (which means petite friendly) airlift leggings are included… I have 3 pairs of these and want them in the grey color. They are amazing.
TOPS
I purchased this waffle knit henley two seasons ago and it’s still one of my favorite tunic tops (you can see it styled 5 ways here…) and I brought it along on our road trip with the girls. I included this blush graphic tee in my August Capsule Wardrobe last year, and it’s super soft and an all around great, fun top. This Organic Cotton Tee is so comfortable for sleeping in (another purchase from last seas)…. and this Free People oversized white tee (comes in a few color options) is a great basic that you can easily wear now and all season long.
This is always when I try to make any Barefoot Dreams purchases, since they’re so insanely soft and comfortable… and this cocoon cardigan that I bought last season (it’s basically like being wrapped in a blanket) and this long cardigan (I have it in the bisque color) are both included. If you love being comfortable while lounging then these are great choices!
And if you’re looking for a great, lightweight, post workout pullover I own this Alo SOHO one in 3 colors (I’ve had it for 3 years now) and love it!
SLEEP
I rave about Tommy John sleepwear all the time and I was so excited to see that the sleep pants and tank I have are both included. I can’t recommend them enough!
SHOES
Alright, the holy grail of running shoes, that I recommend all the time, the Adidas Ultraboost Sneakers are included in this years sale. If you want a shoe that is supremely comfortable, I can’t recommend these more! The past two times I’ve purchased them I’ve gotten my regular shoe size and they’ve fit great (I used to size down 1/2 a size in them).
These UGG Cozette slipper slides, that I got when Camillle was born, are also part of the sale… I love that they keep my feet comfortable in the summer, but not too hot… and in the winter I just wear them with cozy socks.
And these booties (see below) are a great fall option… they come in a lot of beautiful colors. I ended up sizing up 1/2 a size and they’re the perfect fit….
UNDERGARMENTS
I have two pairs of seamless underwear that I go between, and this stretch thong is one of them! They’re super comfortable, seamless so they work wonderfully with leggings, and a great price point during the sale….
My go-to no show socks are included as a 3 pack (I wear these for my workouts and they’re super comfortable….)…
And when I was nursing Camille this was my favorite sports bra… it provided me with great support during my workouts (especially my runs)! It’s great now as well…
ACCESSORIES
This Clare V. Simple Tote bag is available in a very similar leopard print to the one I purchased two years ago. It’s an excellent tote bag… I add a tote insert and it can easily hold my laptop, a cosmetic pouch, wallet, snacks, a water bottle, and a date book.
I’ve had this Gorjana crescent pendant necklace for 5 years now and it’s still a classic piece that beautifully dresses up any outfit!
PURCHASED & WISHLIST
I can’t shop the sale until Wednesday, so I haven’t purchased any of these items yet… but they’re all in my “wish-list.”
(Woven Straw Hat | Cozy Socks | White Leather Jacket (I have this brand’s leather jacket in black and it’s amazing, I recommend sizing up 2 sizes) | Soft Bomber Jacket | Chain Necklace | Statement Necklace | Leopard Pajama Set | Sports Bra + 7/8th Leggings | Ribbed Bikers Shorts | Knotted Workout Tank | Sleeveless Jumpsuit | Barefoot Dreams Blanket | Marble + Acacia Cutting Board | Wrap Pullover | Oversized Linen Top)
MEN’S
BOTTOMS
TJ’s all time favorite pair of jeans, PAIGE Federal Slim Fit are included in the sale… he always snags a new pair/color when this time of year comes around. They have a great slim fit and are a softer denim feel… so nice and comfortable as well.
And these joggers are a go-to for travel, lounging, or working out… they have a bit of stretch and are made from a great, soft, material (featured in above photo).
TOPS
TJ got this VINCE waffle knit thermal 2 years ago at the sale and it’s still one of his go-to tops (featured in above images)… it’s easy to wear for lounging, but also looks great with a nice pair of shorts or jeans. His favorite basic tee is included… it has the perfect amount of stretch and is incredibly soft… and he has his eye on this casual button down top.
SHOES
We’re both *huge* fans of the Adidas Ultraboost Sneakers for running and the men’s version is included in the sale as well, so we highly recommend these. TJ loves wearing his Allen Edmonds Oxfords (in the camel shade) and his Ferragamo Driving Shoe for dressier work days… and the driving shoes work for a date night as well.
SLEEP
Another family favorite, the TOMMY JOHN second skin jogger pajama pants, shorts, and pullover hoodie are all included in the sale…. TJ is just as big a fan as I am of their products.
UNDERGARMENTS
Annnd, if your guy needs an upgrade in the undergarments department, these boxer briefs are a favorite in our house…
FAMILY
STROLLER:
We have both the UPPAbaby Vista Stroller + the Bugaboo Lynx. You can’t go wrong with either, but I’d say the UPPAbaby has a slight edge since it’s a little easier to collapse and we’ve had it for 5 years and just really know it inside and out. They’re both on sale, so if you’re in the market, this is a great time to invest.
CARSEAT
We had the Nuna Pipa with Harper and loved it (we switched to the UPPAbaby with Camille only because it was easier to pop onto the Vista stroller)…. and we now have these convertible carseats for both of our girls and *love* them.
EATING
We used this placemat + feeding set with both girls when they started eating solids and it worked so well (and this first foods set with Camille when she first started solids).
CLOTHES
Each year I purchase Harper a new pair of these soft joggers, and this year I can get Camille a pair…. And while this doesn’t fall under clothes, it’s still just as soft as you’re softest sweater… this baby blanket is the best!
BEAUTY
HAIR CARE
The Olaplex hair care system (shampoo and conditioner) is amazing… I started using their products several months ago and have been so incredibly happy with them. I also love the No 3… it’s really helped to strengthen my hair.
There are also a few t3 products that are part of the sale that I’ve been super happy with over the past 5 years… like thier travel hair dryer and straightening iron.
SKIN CARE
My all time favorite facial cleanser, The Elemis Cleansing Balm, is available in a super size option… I can’t recommend it more! It does such a wonderful job of removing makeup and leaving my skin feeling so soft.
And the Necessaire body wash + body lotion that I always share is included as a set… if you’ve ever wanted to give it a try, this is a good deal!
Lastly, Supergoop Sunscreen is one of my favorite brands and it’s on sale as a pack of 3… perfect for the summer season.
HOME
GREENPAN PAN: A non-toxic cooking pan, we purchased our first one last August and have been super happy with it! We love the white shade as well.
BLISS THROW BLANKET: We stocked up on 4 of these last sale and we still use them daily in our house (see above photo). They’re not heavy/thick like the Barefoot Dreams blankets, but they are a great lightweight throw. They come in an oversized version this year!
AROMATHERAPY DIFFUSER: I bought this beautiful, neutral, diffuser two years ago and absolutely love it. It works really well and is aesthetically pleasing too!
BOLL + BRANCH ORGANIC COTTON SHEETS: I’ve talked about these numerous times before, but it you’re in the market for new sheets these are an excellent option! We have them in 2 colors… and have been using them since last June. They get softer with every wash and keep up nice and cool at night.
