The 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here, and let me just tell you- there are some epic savings to be had! The gist is this: the best perks are offered to Nordstrom credit card holders. Discounts start August 4 for selected cardmembers, August 13 for all cardmembers, and August 19 for everyone else. Basically, the higher your Nordy Club status, the earlier you get access to the sales. Even if you aren’t a cardmember, you are still going to get to shop some amazing sales between August 19-30! Plus, everyone has the ability to preview all sale items even earlier this year—starting July 24! This way, you can save your favorites to your Wish List so you can check out faster when it's time to shop. And don’t worry, to save you some time and hassle, I’ve scoured the site and rounded up my top picks just for you! From fashion to beauty to home goods, you're guaranteed to find some amazing deals. Now, get to shopping!

Nordstrom Moonlight Dream Short Pajamas- Black

A classic, black pajama set designed in a chic menswear-inspired look. Jammies that are just-put-together-enough that you can keep them on all day. What’s not to love?

Nike Air Max 270 Premium Sneaker- Light Cream/Gold/Terra Blush

I’m loving these somewhat retro-looking Air Max Sneakers from Nike. The blush and gold tones give them just the right touch of modern cool-factor.

True & Co. True Body Triangle Convertible Strap Bralette- Black

I’m a huge fan of simple bralettes, and this one is oh so comfortable as well! Plus it comes in multiple colors, so treat yourself to one of each!

Free People My Only Sunshine Sweater- Neutral Combo

With fall on the horizon, I’m so looking forward to layering in cozy sweaters. Anyone else? This chunky knit from Free People makes for a welcome addition to any fall wardrobe.

Slip Pure Silk Queen Pillowcase Duo

Silk pillowcases are all the rage lately, and for good reason. They keep you from waking up with sleep lines, allow your skin to breathe, and prevent hair breakage! Not to mention, they’re super soft and pretty to look at!

Nike Sportswear Knit Palazzo Pants- Oatmeal/Black

I’m all about sporty, comfy sweatpants that can double as chic, fashionable trousers. These palazzo pants from Nike are just that, and I love that they can be dressed up with heels and a crop top, or down with sneakers and a tee!

Nordstrom At Home Round Marble & Acacia Wood Serving Board- White Multi

Add this beauty to your kitchen, and it’ll be sure to wow at your next dinner party. It makes a great charcuterie and cheese board, but also works well for desserts!

Riedel Mixed Pack of 4 Red Wine Glasses

Wine glasses seem to get broken easily in our house- anyone else? Riedel makes high quality stemware (& stemless glasses) that are great for everyday use.

Treasure & Bond Jersey Rope Throw Blanket- Green Dune

Chunky knit blankets are like chunky knit sweaters for me- a must! They make any couch or bed feel super cozy, and I love the elevated look they provide.

Nuna Pipa Lite LX Infant Car Seat & Base- Threaded

Nuna car seats are highly rated for good reason- they’re super safe, practical, and functional. What more could you want as a new mom? This one is extremely lightweight as well, which is a huge plus in my book.

Le Labo Santal 26 Set of 3 Concrete Votive Candles

Le Labo candles are some of the best of the best. Their scents are to die for, and I’m obsessed with the look of these little concrete votives. Perfect for a bathroom or bedroom.

Rag & Bone Floppy Brim Wool Fedora- Fawn

I always want to be a hat person- they’re such an easy way to take your ensemble to the next level. Stylish fedoras like this one are easy to throw on with jeans or a cute dress!

britt's picks // activewear

I've rounded up my go-to brands for all your fitness needs! From activewear to athleisure, these leggings, sports bras and exercise tops are some of my fave pieces to wear, whether I'm taking a pilates class, playing tennis, going for a hike, or just hanging at home! They are cute, comfortable and sweatproof, making them ideal for any workout or activity you may be into. Now get moving!

Varley is a newer-to-me brand, but I’m pumped that I finally discovered them! I’m typically more of a black-on-black workout attire gal, but I went a bit out of my comfort zone with these pieces, and for good reason. The Irena Bra and Duncan Leggings in Lead Cheetah print are loud in a good way- I love the somewhat more neutral cheetah theme- and super cute! They’re so comfy, but fit nice and sleek with a great amount of support, so you aren’t having to constantly readjust as you move around. These are equally good for a tennis match as they are for lounging at home- they’re that soft!

Another Varley set I’ve been loving is the Berkeley Racerback Sports Bra and Figueroa Leggings in Evergreen. These are ideal for any sweaty activity thanks to their four-way stretch and sweat-wicking technology! The pieces move with your body, and help keep you dry throughout any workout. There’s even reflective details on the back and side pockets, so you can feel safe while out for that sunrise or sunset run as well! Plus, I’m obsessed with this olive green color.

Live the Process has been a favorite of mine for some time now, and I love how simple, yet chic their pieces are. I feel comfortable wearing my LTP looks straight from pilates to brunch to errands, with no changes needed in between! The Corset Bra and Geometric Leggings in black have seen me through many a barre class and baking project- they’re also great for cozying up on the couch with my laptop to get some writing done! I love how high-waisted the leggings are, giving the bra almost more of a crop-top feel. For that reason, I will usually just rock the look as-is, or with a knit sweater or cozy tank thrown on top when I’m out and about. Just a heads up- it looks like SSense is having a major sale right now too! Hmm what should I try next!?

Outdoor Voices makes sleek and chic sets and separates in lots of cute colors. I love their tagline, Technical Apparel for Recreation, because it really is as simple as that! Their Athena Crop and Warmup Leggings in navy are always in my rotation, and for good reason. They fit tight, but not in an uncomfortable way, and keep everything nicely contained. Plus, the leggings are super long. Yay! Thinking I need to invest in some Warmup Shorts for summer soon too… I always have a Project Social T tee or sweater nearby (or tied around my waist!)- they make high-quality, yet affordable basics you can throw on for anything from workouts to lunch to meetings. The Under The Sun Sweatshirt comes in a trendy tie dye print, and is a fun way to spruce out an otherwise simple look. I also have The Wearever Tee in multiple colors, and must say it’s the ideal simple piece to add to your wardrobe.

PS- A few other activewear looks, including my all-time fave super comfy Beyond Yoga leggings, are featured on my quarantine fashion // britt’s stay-home looks post. The SpaceDye Leggings come in full length, capri, and tri-panel, and I highly recommend treating yourself to a pair (or two). They’re that good, and the best for an at-home yoga session! So be sure to check out that post as well, if you haven’t already. Happy exercising, y’all!
