Camille’s Picks:

“This time of year, I start itching to get a jump start on my fall wardrobe. But since I don’t want to buy something now that I can’t wear for another 5 months, I’m all about those transitional pieces in neutral shades that I can wear from now right on through the cool weather months. A lightweight sweater and classic button-down are perfect for layering, and a new crossbody bag always reminds me of back-to-school.” – Camille Styles

Chanel’s Picks:


“The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is when I shop for items that get tons of wear, but aren’t the most fun to spend money on. Underwear drawer need a little boost? Now’s the perfect time to stock up on some fresh pairs of Hanky Pankys, on sale!” – Chanel Dror

Hannah’s Picks:

“I love my beauty products, and as my husband knows all too well, my collection of skincare faves can add up (sorry babe). I’m using the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to replenish my stock of beauty must-haves at a discounted price, like my fave brow duo from Anastasia.” – Hannah Zahner

Rachelle’s Picks:

“Every time the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale comes around, I’m already already wishing summer were over, so I use the sale to stock up on fall fashion basics that I know I’ll be wearing all fall and winter long!” – Rachelle Shuttlesworth

Caroline’s Picks:

“This is the time to stock up on your tried and true items while they’re on discount. My favorite pick? The NeuLash serum. Don’t let the eyebrow categorization fool you – the formula works just as well on eyelashes, producing the look of extensions without the maintenance.” – Caroline Pinkston 

Lily’s Picks:


“When I think Fall/ Winter, I instantly think of what the seasons do to my skin. The chilly temps mean extra attention to moisturizing and giving my skin a little more love. The Clinique Moisture Surge set is the perfect way to do just that!” – Lily Young

Kat’s Picks:

This year, I am excited about the AG denim included in the sale, as well as Rag & Bone and Paige! Y’all know what a sucker I am for a good pair of denim. I’m also really excited about a lot of the fitness (okay, athleisure) apparel, and I may or may not finally pull the trigger on the Clare V. backpack I’ve been eyeing that would make the perfect sidekick for my fall wardrobe.  -Kat Fluor
