I've rounded up my favorites from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for you from every department in hopes of making the sale less overwhelming for you! Every year there are the hot items that all of us get talking about. That being said, there are often some other less-talked about pieces that go overlooked- and I've got those for you here. I have my favorites, and I'm picky, and as you know, I don't tend to go along with norm. So these finds may be new to you, but they are definitely worth the look.

SHOES, SHOES, SHOES
The shoe department is definitely where I spent most of my money this year. I am a sucker for booties, boots and great pair of neutral flats. My top picks are listed below!
BOOTIE | HINGE BARRIS BLOCK HEEL BOOTIE IN TAUPE SPORT
$80 usually $120
Sizing: I found them to be TTS and I did not size down.
I wouldn't have expected it, but this is my favorite bootie so far. I love the round toe and the cut outs aren't too much at all.
KNEE-HIGH BOOTS | SAM EDELMAN KNEE HIGH BOOTS
$150 usually $225
Sizing: Runs TTS
So well-made and the fit is amazing. Runs TTS.
THE ITEM NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT BUT SHOULD BE |
LOUISE ET CIE SCALLOPED FLATS
$80 usually $120
Sizing: Runs TTS
I'm always asked for work-friendly shoes and these flats look like Chloe's for under $100. They could not be more comfortable too!
BLONDO KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
$189 usually $284
Sizing: I usually size down 1/2 a size
I know, I know, everyone wants aTory Burch riding boot, except they do not fit me at all. They are lovely and if they fit you that is awesome, but if not, these boots are AMAZING! They are high-quality and... waterproof! I never have to worry about the weather!

HANDBAGS
There were a few handbags worth investing in this year, even if two of them are one bag in two different colors.
CROSSBODY BAG | REBECCA MINKOFF CROSSBODY BAG IN OLIVE OR LAVENDER
$150 usually $225
Where has this olive green bag been all of my life? The size is perfect too. Holds an iphone 7+.
SHOULDER BAG| TORY BURCH SWINGPACK IN LIGHT OAK
The single-most versatile color bag on the planet.
THE ITEM NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT BUT SHOULD BE |
TOTE | BP BURGUNDY TOTE
$35 usually $55
For someone who wears mostly neutrals, accessories can pack a lot of punch and turn an outfit into something more seasonal. Because a burgundy tote is mostly used for one maybe two season, this price point is the way to go for me.

SWEATERS AND TOPS
With so many great cardigans, tees and sweatshirts, you can't go wrong. You can see my first try-on session here.
THE ITEM NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT BUT SHOULD BE |
DREAMERS SLOUCHY SWEATER
Sizing: Runs TTS
$29 usually $45
This sweater is the softest thing I've ever felt. It's lightweight and screams Fall- once people feel it, it will sell out and be gone. I'd snag it online while you still have the chance. Try it. Feel it. Love it forever.
CASLON LONG SLEEVE TEE | CASLON SHORT SLEEVE TEE
$19 usually $29
Sizing: Runs TTS
If you've been following me for a while you know I RAVE about these tees. They are tagless, soft and wash well too. It also FINALLY comes in pink! I even ordered the yellow striped version to wear under a burgundy cardigan. Everyone is fussing over the BP tee, but it's slinky and won't last as long as these. i also recommend getting the short sleeve version over the lush tees since they can be easily washed.

DENIM
BEST NON-RIPPED JEANS | VIGOSS HIGH-WAIST JEANS
$42 usually $64
Runs TTS
THE ITEM NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT BUT SHOULD BE |
SP BLACK ANGLED STEP HEM HIGH WAIST JEAN
$39 usually $60
Runs TTS
Everyone is going on about the AG denim but I have one gripe, they are LOW waisted. I need high waisted jeans or I don't feel comfortable at all. So I passed on everything AG and went with these beauties. They look almost identical and how can you say no to $38 jeans?

BEAUTY & HAIR
HAIR DRYER |T3 HAIRDRYER
$134 usually $200
I bought this hair dryer last year and swear by it. It you've been following my blog for a while you know how I adore this dryer. It saved my hair from my other dryer that was frying it half to death.
SKIN DEVICE | CLARISONIC MIA FIT
$146 usually $220
This is the best Clarisonic around. Both Mike and I have one (don't tell) and I love how small it is and that it's so easy to charge.

ACCESSORIES
This is the one place I was underwhelmed by the sale. The scarves were few and far between (when you wear a lot of neutrals) and the jewelry wasn't my favorite but I am super picky. I did grab of a few keepers though.

MEN'S PICKS
If you read my Nordstrom Sale Survivor's Guide (probably about 2 of you and one was me) one of my tips was to bribe those around you. I always buy Mike some things so that way I can just keep on shopping. Here are his picks! Can you tell he has as bad a shoe-obsession as I do?
TOP RECOMMENDATION | TOMMY SECOND SKIN MICRO MOTO TRUNKS
$21 usually $32
Runs TTS
In Mike's words: "They are the best boxer-briefs ever. Worth the money."
Not so much a blog post there, more of a tweet, but it's all good.
