Nordstrom Sale 2019 Public Access Top Picks

Happy Friday everyone, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 is finally open to the public! This sale is known for offering some of Nordstrom’s top pieces like the BlankNYC suede moto jacket, Vince Camuto Booties and the AG Ankle Legging Jeans from last year! Oh and we can’t forget the cozy Leith cardigan and and softest Barefoot Dreams Wrap!  I love the Anniversary Sale because Nordstrom isn’t just marking down items that didn’t sell over the summer, they’re selling brand new closet staples and on-trend items at unbeatable prices.  It’s the ultimate time to go crazy on pre-fall denim, booties, jackets, Zella leggings, sweaters, shoes, you name it! With that being said, I’ve rounded up my top purchases from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to help you fully maximize your shopping experience.

HOW TO SHOP THE SALE:

SHOP ONLINE!

You don’t live near a Nordstrom? No problem! Neither do I! Fortunately, the best way to shop Anniversary Sale is online because it allows you easily navigate all of the sale items and categories. Plus why would you get dressed and leave the house when you can everything in your pajamas on the couch! LOL

Additionally, their online shipping and return policy is amazing because they offer both free shipping and returns. So you’ve got nothing to lose!

USE ME AS YOUR GUIDE!

I traveled to Houston before the sale went live to cardholders a couple weeks ago to scope out the sale early to round up all the best pieces and review the live from the dressing rooms in Nordstrom! You can check out all of my try-on sessions on my Instagram stories (@hauteofftherack) as well as my blog post updates and I am happy to answer any of your questions about sizing, quality as well as my overall opinion.

The Best Type of Bag for Work & Play

Morning everyone, if you follow along with me regularly then you know I just returned from a two week long vacation/work trip. So today I’ve teamed up Brahmin to share the best kind of bag to pack for both work and play. Between spending time with family and keeping up with work projects, I knew that trying to remember everything I needed to pack each day would feel overwhelming. So I decided to just bring a large tote bag that would fit everything I could possibly need for each day instead of lugging around two separate bags! I packed my Brahmin Athena Melbourne tote that has plenty of pockets and slips so that I could keep my work essentials organized alongside my daily vacation necessities like touchup makeup, SPF, extra change of clothes, etc… I of course chose a neutral color that would go with everything. I especially love how this grey color pairs with the purple printed dress I’m wearing in today’s post.

The Brahmin Athena Melbourne tote comes fully equipped with 2 interior slip pockets, a large zipper pocket, a key clip, button closure and last but not least it also comes with a removable matching leather pouch. The pouch is perfect for holding small essentials like touchup makeup etc…
