It’s almost that time and I am so excited! The online preview of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here. If you are a Nordstrom cardholder, you get early access depending on your Nordy Club status. This is great because you can prepare for the sale before it starts by creating wish lists. For this blog post, I will only be sharing my beauty wish list, but if you would like to know what else I plan on purchasing just let me know. I would be more than happy to share!

What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
This is a sale that I look forward to every year because Nordstrom has great deals on a lot of their merchandise. This includes new fall merchandise like coats and boots which can be expensive during the fall season. I also love the sale because of the beauty and skincare deals, duh. During the sale, you will see a lot of discovery sets which are great for trying out different brands without fully committing to a full-size product at full price.
When is the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
Due to COVID-19 Nordstrom has taken some extra time to ensure that their stores were safe for their customers. I’ve been into my local Nordstrom and the staff is constantly cleaning and wiping down displays. I defiantly felt safe while I was shopping. With that being said the Nordstrom Anniversary sale begins on August 13th. All cardmembers can shop exclusively until August 19th, on this date the sale will be open to the public. The sale ends on August 30th, and prices go back up on August 31st. You can shop the sale in open stores during normal business hours. Online shopping begins at 9:30 am ET/6:30 am PT.
