Hey, hey, hey! It’s one of my favorite days of the year!! It’s my annual ANNIVERSARY SALE ROUND UP AND GIVEAWAY plus, we’re off today for our family vacation!
Woohoo!
So much goodness in one day 🙂 !
For those of you who are new, let me explain! Every year, Nordstrom has their HUGE Anniversary Sale where they mark down NEW FALL STUFF! Friends, I do an Anniversary Sale post and giveaway EVERY year because this sale is AMAZING! (And when you’re asking me in November where I got my booties, I’m going to say “the Anniversary Sale” and then you’re going to be sad you have to pay full price.)
So, I typically don’t post “what I bought” until the sale goes live to everyone (and not just card holders), buuuuuut things sell out so quickly, so last year, I posted early and received so much feedback from you telling me you’d like me to do that again this year too, so that when it does go live for your specific level (see below), you will already know what I love.
For those of you who aren’t card holders, you get to begin shopping on July 28th.
Here are the details…
Monday (today): Icon level (must be a cardholder)
Wednesday: Ambassador level (must be a cardholder)
Friday: Influencer level (must be a cardholder)
Wednesday, July 28th: all non-card holders can shop
Last week, Nordstrom released everything that’s going to be on sale so that you can click through now to check it out and even add items to your Wish List so that you’re ready to go when you can shop (or shop today if you’re an Icon level cardholder).
I looked through the sale last week and was so happy to see several items that I’ve been talking about all year long included which made me SO HAPPY!
Here they are…
Isn’t that fun?! Let’s recap ’em…
#1: V11 Torque Drive Cordless Vacuum • Dyson
I did an entire post about how much I love my cordless Dyson HERE!
#2: Ab-Solution Skinny Ankle Jeans • Wit & Wisdom
Um, can’t stop with these! I’ve told you many times before that I love these jeans because the waist hits at just the right spot (not too high, not too low), they have a little stretch and give and they’re so comfy!! MAKE SURE YOU SIZE DOWN IN THIS BRAND THOUGH!
I’m pretty sure mine are three years old…and I still pull them out time and time again!
#4: Ab-Solution Ankle Skinny Jeans • Wit & Wisdom
I also have these jeans in a traditional denim color which, as you know, I wear often and love!
#5: Power Pocket Workout 7/8 Leggings • Sweaty Betty
Hello, comfy workout leggings! I love you so much that I bought you in two prints this year!!!
#6: Faux Leather Leggings • Spanx
There always reaches a point in the winter, when I am a little embarrassed by how many times in a row I wear these leggings. These are the ONLY faux-leather leggings I’ve ever loved. I have always returned any other pair. These. Are. Amazing. I would size up!
#7: Joan of Artic III Lexie Waterproof Wedge Bootie • Sorel
Um, please see two different pics from above! I love these boots so much that I have them in two different colors (brown and black!).
#8: Cozette Genuine Shearling Slipper • UGG
In just about every single picture I post, I’m wearing Ugg slippers. I loved these so much from this past year, that I bought them again today in the pretty yellow!!
#9: Nordstrom at Home Kennebunk Bliss Plush Throw • Nordstrom
What do I spy on the chair? One of these amazing blankets 🙂 . They’re great for gift giving!!!
Speaking of which…
#10: Bliss Oversize Throw Blanket • Nordstrom
I gifted these oversized ones this year to so many friends and family!! They’re the perfect birthday/holiday/sorry you’re sick/sending you love gift!
Speaking of gifts…
#11: CozyChic Lite(R) Circle Cardigan • Barefoot Dreams
The #1 thing I’ve EVER GIFTED is this cozy cardigan here. Seriously, I can’t even count the times I’ve given this to people I love!
#12: Mozart Popcorn Cotton Sweater • French Connection
I don’t do itchy or scratchy sweaters…which is why I loved this one!!
#13: The Double Shot Round Blow-Dryer Brush Set • Drybar
I have written multiple blog posts about how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Dyson Double Shot Dryer! I love it so much that it was part of the Christmas package I delivered to all of my team members at my travel agency last year!! Each girl received one!
#14: Riki Skinny 10X Lighted Mirror • Riki Loves Riki
I use this mirror every single day!!!! The lighting is AMAZING! See it there 🙂 .
#15: Intimately FP Adella Longline Bralette • Free People
I let this cute bralette peek out of my sweaters all fall! I loved it so much that I bought it in three different colors!
#16: Absolute Camisole • Halogen
Without a DOUBT this cami is the #1 thing I wear. Period. End of story. I like to layer a cami under my sweaters and have been RAVING about these for years and years. I wear the black and the white ones daily!
#17: Liana Long Sleeve Recycled Blend Performance T-Shirt • Zella
Loved it lots, bought it twice! This is such a soft top that washes and dries to perfection!
#18: Discovery Travel Fragrance Set • Atelier Cologne
I have gushed about this fragrance so many times! This travel-sized set is perfect for discovering the brand. In fact, this set was one of the things I gave Catherine this year for her birthday! I love it that much!
The only blush I wear. I’ve been using it for YEARS. You know how I feel about it 🙂 .
#20: Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick Set • Bobbi Brown
Speaking of which…I use this underneath my eye makeup as my “primer” every single day. I love how it’s repackaged for the sale!!!
#21: Regular Rise Lace Thong • Hanky Panky
The ONLY underwear I wear (or even OWN!) are these. These undies plus the bra (see the last item below!) are literally my favorite undergarments of all time. Ever. End of Story. Period. I’ve been telling you for years (and anyone who has ever DMed me, emailed me or left a blog comment knows), this bra will change your life. I have four right now and am actually wearing one as I sit here and type.
#22: Sunset Dreamscape Instant Look in a Palette Set • Charlotte Tilbury
I mean…wasn’t I JUST raving about these palettes like two weeks ago? It’s the BEST all-in-one palette I’ve ever owned. I’m on my third one 🙂 .
#23: Bold & Bare Stay All Day(R) Liquid Lipstick Set • Stila
Guys, this was that stay all day lipstick I kept telling you to buy last fall because it wouldn’t rub off on my mask!! Great colors, lots of pigment, no rubbing off.
#24: Red Carpet Convertible Strapless Bra • Wacoal
See above for loads of gushing 🙂 .
Here they are again where you can click each image to see the full details…
So, that’s what I already own and love, but I also wanted to make one big collage of my TOP #NSALE PICKS for the season too including some new things that I added to my own Wish List for this season…
Eeeeeks! Someone hand me a pumpkin spice latte STAT!! Below are the clickable images if you want to open up the window and see more details on Nordstrom’s site…
And finally, it wouldn’t be an Anniversary Sale if I didn’t grab BEST OF BEAUTY PICKS too…
Needless to say, lots going on today…including…
One winner will get TWO $500 Nordstrom Gift Cards to shop the sale!!
One for you and one for a friend/sister/daughter/mother/neighbor/co-worker/bestie 🙂 .

Shannon says
Hey, Shay!
I am so NOT a thong wearer — I have tried but just can’t seem to ever be comfortable — but I may try the ones you suggested since your recommendations are always great. Do you even wear those to work out/with your workout pants? Oh, and Just out of curiosity, are there any other full coverage underwear you could suggest?
Thanks so much!

Mix and Match Mama says
They are like butter. Seriously, that’s the only way to describe them. Bahaha! They are literally the ONLY underwear I ever wear.
Jessica says
And now I’ve completed half my Christmas list!! Thank you for taking the time to share with us.
Laura Stevenson says
Whoo hoooo!!! Thanks for doing this… too many good things this year 🙂 I”m excited about the makeup and candles this year!
Jourdan says
The black Wit and Wisdom jeans #2… a lot of comments on the Nordstrom site say they have a bad smell that doesn’t go away. Do you find that to be true?
They’re so cute but I don’t know if I want to buy if that’s the case!
Mix and Match Mama says
That is so weird! No way! I wouldn’t say that at all. make sure you size down though!
Julie says
You recommend sizing up on the Spanx, just one size? What size are you? I find you and I typically get the same size, so just wanted to see! I’ve been debating these, so just wanted to check 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
yes! just one size. I normally wear xs leggings, but I think the small spanx ones fit better
janet Sampurdanis says
Want to share these gift cards with my daughters. What fun.
HEATHER DUNNING says

Mix and Match Mama says
Oh Debbie! I am so sorry! Oh my goodness, that really breaks my heart for you.
