My favorite shopping day of the year is almost here… the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020! For me, finding out all of the information and how to snag some of the amazing deals can sometimes be stressful, so I am putting together a guide for the 2020 sale that will give you all the details you will need! I will be sharing early access dates, catalog download, and some of my favorite items on my shopping list. The Sale will be a little different this year because of the virus but, these slight changes don’t mean you have to miss out on the fun! I will be updating this page as more information becomes available, so be sure to bookmark it and check back. Make sure you also follow along on my Instagram for full try ons as well as in the LiketoKnow.it App where I post TONS of content along with every day deals and restocks!
So, when is the Anniversary Sale?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 will begin on Wednesday, August 19 and end on Sunday, August 30. However, depending on your Nordy Club access, some card holders can shop as early as August 4. You can find more information about the Nordy Club and card member benefits on the Nordstrom website!
Here is the timeframe:

This year, instead of the printed catalog, anyone can preview sale items beginning on July 24. I’ve found that these few weeks before the actual sale begins is the perfect time to save your favorite items to your Wish List, so you can check out faster when it’s time to shop.

Why Shop the Sale?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale offers new, high-end merchandise but without the high-end price! This means that you can get sale prices on the latest pieces from top brands like Patagonia, Madewell, Northface, Vince, and Topshop, instead of waiting for the end-of-season sales. In my opinion, this is the biggest and best sale of the year because it isn’t a clearance sale of past seasons—these are new pieces for Fall.
Can I shop in store, or is it online only?
Accessibility to stores will vary depending on your location, so be sure to check your local Nordstrom’s hours and schedule. However, from my experience, the best shopping experience is online! Here, you can find the largest selection of items, free shipping and returns, and, of course, you can avoid the lines and crowds. Another great option that Nordstrom offers is curbside pickup, where you can order your items and have them delivered right to your car
Restocks
Things will sell out fast, so I will have a blog post up with the things I think will be the most popular and will sell out first. I suggest making multiple purchases on the items you love to ensure you get them, remember you get free shipping and free returns on all orders. But don’t worry, a lot of things will restock throughout the sale. Check back here DAILY for a list of restocked items.
Recommendations
The biggest recommendation I have is to shop the sale as soon as it opens for Early Access. The ONLY way to do this is with a Nordstrom card. The sale opens early to Nordstrom Card holders, up to 10 days before it opens to the public, depending on the status of your card! Regardless of your status, Nordstrom card holders shop at least 6 days before everyone else!! Sign up for a card here!!
The Catalog
The preview experience will replace the print catalog this year. So be sure to log on to Nordstrom and check it out on July 24th or come back here and I will have it for you.
