The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access starts today for Nordstrom Cardholders. At the top of my list each year for the sale are the Beauty Exclusives, Paige Denim and anything from Zella (I’m obsessed with their capris). The catalog arrived last week with a sneak peek. I’m happy to see there is a wider selection online and in stores. Be sure to check out the gift with purchase offerings too – store options may vary. On my wishlist and radar:
Diptyque has three gift sets this year, each set has a 6.5 oz candle, a 3.4 oz eau de toilette and a solid perfume. The options are Do Son and Tubéreuse, L’Ombre dans L’Eau and Baies and Philosykos and Figuier.
There are a lot of value sets and multi-packs including the Rose Balm Lip Trio, Supergoop! 3 Pack of SPF 50 Mists, Phyto Hydration Brilliance Kit, and this Lancome Mascara Wardrobe. YSL has a Rock Attitude Glossy Stain Trio with Glossy Stain No. 7 Corail Aquatique, Pop Water No. 204 Onde Rose and Plump Up No. 200 (swatches in this post here of 2 of the shades).
NARS has a gorgeous Blame it on NARS Cheek Palette exclusive to Nordstrom along with a couple Lip Pencil Trios.
Dior has four Nordstrom exclusives this year. On my radar is the neutral Rosy Eye Reviver Palette and this peachy Majesty Nail Polish. I hope to check them out in person today.
Also on my wishlist includes the Compact Styling Set from T3 (on sale), Look in a Box Pretty Neutral Set from MAC, and possibly this Lorac Palette (because it’s only $15).
Shoes are always good for fall preview. These Enzo Angiolini Manna Heels look like classic staples but might be too high of a heel for me. (Have you tried these before?) I’m in some need of a couple pairs of ankle booties. The Dolce Vita Kadie Bootie is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Last but not least, Longchamp has several colors of their Le Pliage Expandable Tote for the sale in Black, Navy, Red and Slate. When we were in Paris, my husband and I picked up Expandable 21 inch version (not on sale) because our carry ons weren’t quite enough (after this purchase, we each had 2 bags to carry on flights). After using it for 3 weeks I’m a huge fan of expandable bags.
A few other things on my radar.
Are you shopping Early Access? What’s on your list?


The only thing that really appeals to me is the new Dior Eye Reviver palette, but I just got the other color a couple of months ago and can't justify this one :/

The Chantecaille set is so under the radar but very beautiful. It features an exclusive duo made only for Nordstrom. I also have the Longchamp 21 expandable tote, and it is my go to bag for weekend travel!
I bought the LaMer Skincare set you featured at the bottom. I also got the Trish McEvoy Power of the Brush set to replace my current travel set. Got the Antica Farmacista large bottles in Ala Moana (Gardenia) and Vanilla Bourbon for the house (I refill my small bottles plus get new reeds)

Hehe when I saw this on the website, I said to myself, "When the hell did Nordstrom start acting like Costco?"
Hi, How much did you pay for the LongChamp Expandable 21 in Paris? Is it a much better deal?
I think it was priced at around 135 euros which converts to about $150 USD – I'll have to check for the receipt to make sure – but in general, yes Longchamp is less expensive in Paris compared to prices in the US.
Do you think the Charlotte Tilbury set is worth it? It has the full size Ibiza beach stick and Wonder glow that I would be interested in, but wonder if i should purchase them individually instead. I already have other eyeliner and mascara I like to use.
Hi – I think it's worth it only if you want most of the items – if you're only interested in 2 items, I would say skip the set and buy the items individually.
I am wearing Dior Majesty nail polish right now 🙂
