Good morning everyone! I’m so excited because today at 12:30 ET marks the first day of “early access” to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Fortunately for you and me, yet unfortunately for my husband, I have “ambassador” status in the Nordy Club so I was able to shop the sale at Houston Galleria location on Wednesday for an exclusive sneak peek of all the amazing sale items. I course snapped photos and videos of my favorite pieces to share them with you here on my blog and Instagram! Be sure to check out my Instagram stories (@hauteofftherack) for a dressing room try on session. Also, I will be adding photos to this post and updating new items daily so stay tuned!

5 Items I recommend investing in during the sale each year:

2) Designer Denim — This year I would keep your eyes out for Kut from Cloth, AG Jeans, Good American and Frame.

3) Boots & Ankle Booties — I always love the Marc Fisher, Steve Madden, Sam Edelman and Jeffrey Campbell booties
