The Nordstrom Sale has some great discounts on high priced items, but some of those items are still more expensive than our budget allows. For those of us who want the look of the hottest items sold during the Nordstrom Sale (or the original items sell out before you obtain access to shop), and you want to spend even less, these look-a-like items are similar with a lot lower price tag!
These sneakers are almost identical besides the logo on the side. The Walmart version has a memory foam sole that is super comfy. I own both pairs.
This Free People Lace Bralette has been on trend for a while now and it isn’t going anywhere. I’ve linked some look a likes that are even lower priced than the Nordstrom Sale price.
You can’t go wrong with these almost identical animal print loafers than are more than half the price of the original Steve Maddens that are a part of the Nordstrom Sale this year.
Another great look a like find. I own the less expensive Brixton inspired hat in multiple colors & it is the perfect addition to your fall and winter wardrobe at a fraction of the Nordstrom Sale designer price.
I love Ray Ban Sunglasses, but if I purchased every single style of them that I loved, I’d be broke. So I love styles like this Ray Ban inspired pair from the Pink Lily Boutique.
This Madwell striped cardigan was so popular during last years sale that they decided to include it for the 2020 sale as well. Save even more money ordering the less expensive style linked here!
These Moonlight Dreams pajama sets sell out fast during the Nordstrom Sale every year, but you can get this less expensive, and still super comfortable set for less at Target. This PJ set comes in a variety of colors and designs, and would be the perfect getting ready outfits for the Bride & Bridesmaids for a Wedding Day. They also make a great Christmas gift for the ladies in your life.
I will continue to update this post as I find more items that resemble the Nordstrom Sale items. Save this page to check back for all of my best finds through out the month!
On top of all the great fashion finds for the Nordstrom Sale, there are also some amazing deals on the hottest beauty items included. I put together my list of the products and gift sets I love from this years sale to share with you!
Riki Mirror: I’ve had my eye on these Riki mirrors for a while now. This one is a little smaller than what I plan to purchase, but the price is incredible for the sale at $130 (Savings of about $70 off the original price)
Too Faced Duo: I love the Too Faced “Better Than Sex” Mascara, so I love being able to purchase it with another great too faced product to try at a discounted price!
Mario Badescu Trio: I have mentioned this before, but this is the BEST spot treatment I have ever used for those big ugly pimples you want to be gone FAST. I also love the rose water facial spray which is super refreshing and smells so pretty.
T3 Curling Iron (Black or White): This ceramic curling iron is a hot find and is on sale for over $50 off. If you have had your eye on this curling iron, now is the time to order it!
All items are linked below as well as on my liketoknow.it page!
Tory Burch is a very popular designer & her items rarely go on sale. This year Nordstrom has a lot of Tory Burch items included at amazing discounts for their Anniversary Sale. This is the perfect time to stock up on these items for yourself OR for holiday shopping! All items linked below as well as on my Liketoknow.it page! Be sure to shop early because these items will most definitely sell out quick!
The Nordstrom Sale has a ton of items for the upcoming seasons, but there are also some items that were either a part of last years sale, or ones that have been popular through out the past year. I wanted to share some items that I own already that I LOVE, some of which I plan to purchase more of during this years Anniversary Sale:
Adidas Swift Run Sneaker ($49.90 orig. $85): If you have been following me for a while, you know I’ve been wearing these sneakers so frequently. They’re so comfortable and stylish. They kept selling out as soon as they stocked last year, so be sure to order yours as soon as you gain access to the sale.
Nike Indy Sports Bra (27.90 orig: $35): I purchased this on a whim during last years sale & have been wishing I had more because it is super supportive & comfortable. I plan to purchase a few more while they are on sale.
Kate Spade Stud Earrings ($15.90 orig $32): I got these earrings as a gift and they are so pretty and colorful. They can be worn with dressy or casual outfits.
Spanx Faux Leather Leggings ($64.90 orig: $98): These leggings are a closet staple in the Fall & Spring and rarely go on sale. They are super flattering.
Urban Decay “All Nighter” Setting Spray duo ($42): I use this setting spray to keep my makeup in place (especially in the warmer weather). I’ve been using it for years and I highly recommend it!
Nike Essential Fleece Joggers ($39.90 orig: $60): These were one of my favorite buys from last years N-Sale. I wear them ALL.THE.TIME. They’re very soft and cozy. I hope to get another pair during this years sale.
Free People Ilektra Lace Bralette ($24.90 orig: $38): This is another hot item that has been popular for a while. It’s great to wear under a sweater or a low cut top. It can also be worn for a cute & sexy athleisure look. It comes in various colors so its best to stock up while they’re on sale!
Mario Badescu Trio ($23 orig: $33): My favorite item in this set is the spot treatment. It contains salicylic acid & calamine and significantly reduces the size and redness of pimples overnight. It’s usually about $20 alone, so adding in these other two items in the kit is well worth it!
Too Faced Plump Lips & Sexy Lash Duo ($32 orig: $54): I have not tried this lip treatment, but “Better Than Sex” is my favorite mascara and is what I keep in my makeup bag. I love being able to purchase products like this with a discount that allows me to try out another product from the same company.
What are some of your favorites that are available for the sale this year?
Welcome to my Nordstrom 2020 Sale Guide! This year the sale is happening a few weeks later than usual, but the sales are still just as good! This guide will include some information about the sale, as well as dates, tips for shopping, and my favorite finds. I’ll continue to update this post through out the sale so be sure to check back on finds I might not have highlighted initially. I will also link some of my favorite items to this post so you won’t have to search for the items I am highlighting.
What is the Norstrom Anniversary Sale?
The Nordstrom Anniversary sale happens once a year and the discounts are usually BETTER than Black Friday. You are able to get amazing deals on designer items and top trends for the upcoming seasons. The items available during this sale usually set the trends for the Fall & Winter seasons, so it’s also a sneak peek at what you’ll be seeing other stores and designers release in the coming months. This is the best time to stock up on heavily discounted sweaters, cardigans, outerwear, booties, boots and other cooler weather must-haves.
When can I shop the Sale?
Access to the Nordstrom sale is based on your “status” with their brand. Those who shop Nordstrom frequently and spend an annual amount of $15,000 per year WITH a Nordstrom credit card get the earliest access to shop the sale. They will be the firsts to shop on August 4. Ambassadors are those who spend $5,000+ annually, Influencers are those who spend $2,000+ annually , and Insider is those who are card holders or those who spend $500+ annually. Below is the graphic of the sale opening dates for each status.
If you are not a cardholder already and plan to become one to shop the sale earlier than the public, Apply for your card BEFORE Insider access opens so you will have your card number available to shop your top picks for the sale as soon as access opens on August 13 at 9:30 am EST/ 6:30 am PST. You can apply for your Nordstrom Credit Card Here.
What is my “Status” ?
You can verify your status & the date you can access the sale, click here and sign into your Nordstrom account.
What time does the sale open to each tier?
Access on your Tiers date starts at 9:30 am EST/ 6:30 PST.
Pro Tip: Add all of your favorite items into your cart/wishlist so you can check out as soon as the sale opens to you. This is especially important for those with insider & public access since the hottest items sell out almost immediately (sometimes even before the sale opens to insiders)
How do I Preview the sale?
You can preview the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale here. You can also shop my top picks and best finds here on Fitsedation.com or on my Liketoknow.it page where I will be updating frequently with the best finds.
Tips to get the most out of the sale:
Plan Ahead: The preview is the time you can pick out which items are your top choices & make a list of your must haves. Using this time helps you to not make abrupt decisions on items that are not in your budget.
Set a Budget: It can be easy to spend your entire savings during this sale if you don’t keep yourself on budget, especially seeing all the items that are so heavily discounted. The sales are AMAZING, but don’t overspend and put yourself in a bad situation for the future. I promise you, you DON’T need booties in every single color THIS season.
Don’t shop too many “Trendy Items”: When purchasing higher ticket items (although heavily discounted), you don’t want to spend a lot on items that will only be worn a few times for one season. Find “capsule” items that can be worn for years & even used during multiple seasons. Some examples are: boots, outerwear, sweaters, jeans & cardigans.
Mark your Calendar & Set an Alarm: Items in this sale sell out quick! Make sure to be at your computer (or smart phone) ready to click “Check Out” as soon as your access allows you to! Last year I missed out on a few of my top items because I didn’t check out until 10:30 am (total amateur move and I don’t want the same to happen to you!)
Don’t Overthink: The Nordstrom return period is 365 days, so although I recommend not overshopping, if there is an item you are not positive of, but still need time to decide, just order it and you have ample time to make that return.
Buy Multiple sizes: Since many items sell out (and sometime don’t get re-stocked after the sale), if you are not sure of your sizing in a certain item, purchase the sizes you are questioning between and utilize the 365 day return period to return what didn’t fit. Since fitting rooms aren’t available in most (of not all) stores due to Covid-19, ordering multiple sizes is your best chance at not missing out on keeping an item you love from the sale.
Get a Nordstrom Credit card early: I stated this above, but if you aren’t at Ambassador or Influencer status, get your card ahead of time to obtain access to the sale before it opens to the public. Some of the hottest items sell out and don’t get restocked during the sale, so being able to shop before public access gives the best chance of shopping the items on your list. You don’t need to checkout with your Nordstrom card, you just need it to access the ability to check out for early access !

The Nordstrom sale only happens once a year and is full of big deals on designer brands. It’s the perfect time to shop for wardrobe essentials, Fall style picks, accessories, beauty products and more. It’s also the perfect time to kick off holiday shopping (that’s right!). Nordstrom has a return policy of ONE YEAR, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to return unwanted items once the holidays pass.
I’ve rounded up some of my favorite cozy finds from the 2020 Nordstrom sale here and am linking all items here as well as my Liketoknow.it page. These items are all great items to buy now for holiday gifting for the ladies in your life.
Some notes about these finds:
Ugg Slippers: there are 2 different styles of these ugg slippers available in different colors. I have had my eye on these for a while, and for a sale price of $50-$60, I plan on finally getting a pair.
Giraffe at Home Luxe Fur & Satin Robe: this robe has so many great reviews and looks so cozy. It also comes in white which could be a perfect gift for a winter Bride-to-Be.
Moonlight Dream Pajamas: These PJ’s come in pants, shorts & a sleep shirt. They are so soft and cozy. They come in multiple colors & prints & could be a great gift for the holidays. They also can make the perfect getting ready outfit for bridesmaids on a wedding morning.
Trisilk Eye Mask with Cooling Gel: I sleep with an eye mask every night & I love that this one has a cooling gel inside and a silk outer layer. I will definitely be putting this item on my wish list.
Free People Bralette: This bralette is always a popular item and sells out quick. It can turn a cozy outfit into a little more sexy & stylish one. On sale for $24.90 for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, this will sell out quickly so be sure to order as soon as you obtain access to shop the sale!
