Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018 Details

I can't believe the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is almost here! This has got to be one of my favorite times of the year for being a blogger because I get to share with all of you items that are new and on sale for a limited amount of time! The sale includes BRAND NEW fall merchandise and of course wardrobe staples. Keep reading below for details!

What is the Nordstrom Sale?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale also known as the #NSale is one of Nordstrom's biggest sales of the year which goes for a few weeks.

When is the Nordstrom Sale?

Key dates for the #NSale include the following:

July 11 - Level 4 Cardholders get to pre-shop the sale in stores

July 12 - Early Access Sale starts for all Nordstrom cardholders. Cardholders definitely get the best picks so if you don't have a Nordstrom card you can Sign up here! 

July 20 - The Nordstrom sale opens to everyone

August 5 - Last day of the sale!

Why Shop the Nordstrom Sale?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is literally the BEST sale of the year! The sale has brand new items for the upcoming fall that are marked down! This is the best time to stock up on your sweaters, jeans, boots, shoes, makeup, handbags, etc. Not only can you stock up on your fall items alot of wardrobe staples go on sale as well such as workout gear, jeans, leggings, cardigans, t-shirts, etc.

Unlike other sales where items start at full price and then get marked down, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the opposite. Items start on sale for a selected period of time and then prices will go back up in August. 

You can view the current catalog here for some of the pieces that will be going on sale: Women's Catalog and Men's Catalog

To avoid getting overwhelmed I always have a strategy in place when shopping the Nordstrom sale. First I go through my closet to see what I need. Do I need new pair of boots? Leggings? Tanks? Sweaters? After putting together a list of items I need, I then browse the catalog (linked above) to get a sense of what will be going on sale. I jot down brands, styles, and prices so I know which departments to go to first. It's like creating a road map!

Also, the best items tend to sell out fast and first so having a card to shop the sale is KEY (which you can sign up HERE). Once you get a card make sure to use your triple point days!

Off The Shoulder Sundress With Pink Pom Poms

Dress: ASOS / Sandals: JustFab 
Handbag: Boutique in Santorini (Similar)
Sunglasses: Sperry (Similar)

The last week has been so much fun and relaxing! My husband and I were with some of our friends in Ocean City, Maryland for 5 nights and 4 days. We had a great time exploring the beach town and I can't wait to come back! This past weekend my parents had a big BBQ at their home in Connecticut which was so much fun! I love spending time with my family and I also got to see some of my relatives that I hadn't seen in a while. 

I wore this look last week and I have to say it's such a fun look! I am really obsessed with the off the shoulder trend this summer (and am secretly hoping it comes back next year!). I also like that the dress itself is plain yet has the bright pink pom pom details to brighten it up! My dress is also on sale right now! I linked all the details above as well as in the widget below.

Hello from Ocean City, Maryland! It's my first time here and we are here for a couple of days. We're having soo much fun and the weather has been beautiful (80s and sunny!). We went to the beach Saturday morning and it felt so nice just to lay out in the sun. This look was taken Saturday evening before heading to Seacrets which was so much fun! Seacrets is a waterfront restaurant, bar and nightclub in Ocean City. It's a huge complex and we had a fun time eating dinner and dancing the night away! If any of you have recommendations in Ocean City, Maryland let me know since we are still here for a few more days!

Product Review: Clarisonic Mia 1 Device

I am always on the hunt for ways to make my skin look and feel amazing. Recently I was given the opportunity to partner with Clarisonic and Her Campus to test the Clarisonic Mia 1 Device with the Acne Cleansing Brush Head and the Pore and Blemish Cleanser. I was so excited to add these products to my skin care routine and trust me when I say they did not disappoint!

Clarisonic facial brushes work by gently cleaning your skin 6x better than hands alone due to its patented sonic frequency that works with the skin's natural elasticity. It removes pollutants, reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and reveals healthy, radiant-looking skin.

The Clarisonic works as the bristles of the cleansing brush head move back and forth, or “oscillate”, gently flexing the skin and flushing water and cleanser into pores. This sonic cleansing process removes dirt, oil and debris that ages your skin and causes breakouts.

I really had a fun time testing out this product. I used my Clarisonic for 60 seconds twice daily for a total of 10 days and I am so pleased with the results so far! The Clarisonic is so easy to use - I just add some wash, turn it on and let the device work its magic! I also really like that the Clarisonic shuts off automatically after 60 seconds so you know when you’re done.

Here is a "before" and "after" picture of my face. You can see that my skin looks so much better in just 10 days! The Pore & Blemish Gel Cleanser has helped with acne flair ups and making my skin feel so tight after using it! I haven’t gotten a single break out since I started using the Clarisonic device. My skin looks and feels so smooth and soft.

If you're looking to change up your skin care routine and looking to get healthy, radiant-looking skin, you can get 15% off a Clarisonic when you use the code HERCAMPUS at the following website: http://bit.ly/2KAcEkT from June 1 until July 15.
