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?
