For only a few weeks each summer, Nordstrom makes shoppers’ dreams come true by offering BRAND NEW ARRIVALS (for both summer and fall) at unbelievable sale prices for a limited time. This popular event is what shoppers know today as the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

During Early Access, Nordstrom cardholders get to shop the Anniversary Sale a FULL WEEK before it opens to the public.  In order to shop Early Access this year, you MUST be a Nordstrom cardholder.  If you are not currently a cardholder, you can apply for a Nordstrom Credit Card here to make sure you score the best deals before Public Access.

Categories

This sale can definitely be overwhelming so I thought I would break it down to categories that I think we all are interested in, and then I picked my favorite 5 or 10 picks per category.

 

Workout Wear

Who doesn’t need a little updating of our workout wear from time to time.  Here are a few of my favorite pieces that I think are fabulous and all on sale for a great price!

 

Loungewear

This year more than ever loungewear is something that we all are wearing and loving since we are staying close to home.  If you are like me, you can’t get enough of soft cozy pieces in your wardrobe.  Here are a few of my favorite things that I think you will love.

Sweaters

My favorite thing about Fall and Winter is being able to wear fabulous sweaters, denim and boots.  I always like to add a few new sweaters to my closet and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is always the best time to grab a few.  Here are my top picks for sweaters that are so chic and such great sale prices!

Denim

This Fall and Winter you are going to be seeing all styles when it comes to denim.  Cropped, wide leg, animal print and yes even white denim will be on trend all year long!  Here are just a few of my favorites that range in style and color when it comes to denim.

Boots and Booties

I have to tell you this category is the one that I am the most excited about when it comes to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  I can honestly say the sale prices on boots and booties (remember these are NEW STYLES) are really great and these will be pieces you will have in your closet for a LONG TIME!!  (Win-Win)! I always have the hardest time narrowing my picks as they are all amazing!  But, I managed to just stick to a few of my favorites for you that I know you will love.

Shoes

If you have been following me for a while, you know that when it comes to shoes, I admittedly have a bit of a shoe obsession.  In my defense, I will say I get really great wear out of them and some of my favorite pair that I own are at least 15 years old!  I always try to buy my shoes when they are on sale (to not feel too guilty) and there are some amazing deals to be had in this category during this sale.  Here are my favorite shoe picks that I think you will love.

I hope you like my picks and my main purpose is to help you get some beautiful yet AFFORDABLE pieces that I feel the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale offers!  I will be sharing more picks that you can shop from (when the Early Access goes Live) on my Liketoknowit profile as well as my Instagram Stories throughout this sale!  As always feel free to leave me a comment or send me a DM through @50shadesofstylebykelley on Instagram.

Enjoy a Cozy Winter with Peach!

By 1,853 Comments

This is my favorite time of year!   As the chill in the air has arrived so comes the time to bundle up with fabulous warm cozy outfits!  I am excited to show you the new Winter ’19 Collection from Peach.  This collection is called Nordic Lights, and it might be my favorite yet from Peach!  They describe it as ‘Cozy meets Festive’ and I would have to totally agree as these pieces can take you from brunch to parties, or a football game to lounging by a fire.  All the things I love to do this time of year!  I decided to pick a few great outerwear pieces for myself as well as a ‘Chic’ jogger set that I absolutely love and wanted to share with you, so here they are.

 

First up is this fabulous Faroe Sherpa Jacket.  I selected the color Cloud because I just love wearing white in the winter.   I love it as shown here with denim and booties, but this jacket has taken me to the gym in the cold morning hours.  It is so cozy and I love that it is fully lined.  It is designed to give a relax fit and I purposely sized up one size (Size Small) and I am really happy I did.  This jacket ranges from XXS to XXL and also comes in a beautiful rose color as well.  I can’t say enough great things about this great piece.

Next up is this adorable Polar Pom Hoodie in the color Carbon.  I mean, can you ever be too old for Pom Poms??  I can’t tell you how many compliments I have gotten on this fun cropped jacket.  There are so many great details on this jacket, from the faux fur hoodie, to the velvet draw string cords.  It is the perfect versatile piece that works with jeans, leather pants and even your favorite pair of leggings.  It is also fully lined and it is so soft and cozy.  I would say this jacket is true to size (I am wearing an XS) and it also comes in a range from XXS to XXL and comes in the color Cloud.  If you are wanting to stand out in the crowd, treat yourself to this fabulous jacket!

I might have saved the best for last with this luxurious stretch velvet  Sofie Sweatshirt and Sofie Joggers.  I knew the minute I laid my eyes on these pieces I wanted to get it as a set, but they both stand on their own seperately.  Lets start with the top, I love the oversized funnel neckline with the drawstring detail.  This fabric is so fabulous, you won’t want to take it off.  I stayed true to size on this top (Size XS) and it also comes in a range from XXS to XXL.  If you are a ‘pink’ kind of girl, it also comes in a beautiful Blush color.  Now onto these super chic and comfy Sofie Joggers.  They are also stretch velvet and so cozy you might want to sleep in them!  They have an elastic waistband with an internal drawcord, my favorite thing are the pockets!  They are suppose to have a relaxed look, so I sized up one size (Size Small) and they gave me the fit I was looking for.  They range from XXS to XXL.  I decided to style them for you as I would wear them to a fun night out by adding these leopard booties and a great bag.  But of course, it is the perfect errand running outfit or travel ootd by adding a fun sneaker.  Either way, I promise you this outfit will be on major repeat!

I highly encourage you to check out this entire Nordic Lights Collection and pick yourself up one or two pieces to add to your winter wardrobe.  I would love to hear from you what your favorite pieces are in the comments below.
