Hey GIRL! First, grab yourself a glass of wine/tea/coffee and sit back, relax and lets get shopping!
The NSALE This has been one of the most iconic sales is the US for years and Canadians always watched as Americans stocked up on the best of the best. It’s my understanding that this year the buying team nearly replicated the same buy for US and Canada (unlike last year where the sale really lacked in style and inventory). It’s also the first year we got a preview and holy SMOKES- was it ever good!
The Nordstrom Sale is a Fall Preview sale- essentially, you can stock up on all your favourite Fall Favourites at discounted prices for a very short time before the season begins. This is a great option for people who love building out their seasonal wardrobe in advance (like me!!!!).
My Goal? To help you narrow down the best of the best and because I think it’s so important to not just share items but also how to wear certain pieces, I’ve made sure to include some style inspo along with my top picks. Everything in the style inspo is also included in the sale.
I spent hours creating this post to make sure its the most valuable tool throughout the sale so I’ve broken up the post in a few different categories:
My Looks. These will be added on Wednesday when the sale opens. I’ll head to the store, try on everything so you can see the fit of everything.
My Top picks by category: Apparel, shoes, beauty and home.
Outfit Ideas. Using only pieces included in the sale, I’ll share multiple ways you can style your new pieces.
I’ll be updating the blog as pieces sell out and recommending new ones so check back throughout the sale for the latest updates. I truly hope you enjoy this labour of love! It’s been SO fun creating this and covering this iconic sale.
For many of you, this will be your first time hearing about NSALE so you may be wondering how it works?

FIRST TO SELL OUT
Based on how things went in the US, these are the items I believe will sell out first and the ones you should snag FAST if you are really interested in getting them.
$78 (reg $138)-I went in-store to peak some items and this one is even better in person! I’ve added a size small to my Wishlist. I’ll update with sizing and pics once I try it on.
$65 (Reg $108) I saw this on a bunch on American bloggers and the quality looks amazing! The hood is removable so you can wear it casual or refined. Only $64!
$475 (Reg $619) Sales are a great time to stock up on quality basics like a leather jacket. I’ve had my leather jackets for over 8 years and still wear it annually
$109 (reg $169)- Photos don’t do these justice! They are even nicer in person! I’m seeing A LOT of lug soles for fall. I prefer the beige but they also come in black leather
2. Raegin Platform Bootie
$89 (Reg $154) These lug boots will be a super popular style this fall and the price point is FAB!
3.Marc Fisher Nairy Lace Up Bootie
$209 (Reg $350) These sold out last year before they ever went on sale so if you had your eye on them- RUN
$79 (Reg $119) This mule was one of the most popular shoes in the US and I totally see why! They will go great with denim, dresses, skirts, etc pLUS they’re a great Buy now, wear now option.
$129.90 (Reg $220) These are INCREDIBLE in person. SO soft! They look and feel like a $300 boot. The colour is perfection and they’re not too western but still have enough of that western look to get the look
9. Stuart Weitzman City Knee Highs
$699 (Reg $1072) Finding a SW OTK on sale is already a big deal. Finding it on sale at the start of the Season? Well, thats just nuts! I peaked these babies in real life and they are BEAUTIFUL
$29 (reg $70)-I went in-store to peak some items and this one is even better in person! I’ve added a size small to my Wishlist. I’ll update with sizing and pics once I try it on.
$119 (Reg $180) CANADA- WE HAVE BF DREAMS!!! And its on sale! I checked in store and didnt see these at any GTA stores so if you’re eyeing this, snag it online.
