The Nordstrom sale is in full swing, and it’s a great time to pick up a few pre-fall items to refresh our wardrobes. You can check out my picks online here.

In nail polish news, summer nail polish has been flying off store shelves, and it seems “limited edition” will continue into the fall season. Dior and Chanel will introduce new collections in August; I will keep you posted! The common theme we are seeing for summer and early fall is pink! So, stay tuned!

Continue to invest in neutral hues. Pops of autumn color will emerge in the next month so you can round out your fall personal style.

With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in full swing, I am getting that fall feeling! Pumpkin spice anyone? We will need to crank the air conditioner a bit more. . .but I digress. . .anyway. . .

Fall is a fabulous season because once October hits, the weather starts to cool off and we can enjoy warm drinks, cozy clothing, and start planning for the holidays. Love that!

A short sleeve sweater and jeans work just as well for fall as it did in the spring; just with a different color palette. Think darker jeans, fall colors, and maybe adding a scarf and carrying a pumpkin spice latte. (don’t judge me, I love them!)

So, without further ado, I am starting to put together some fall outfit ideas so that when the temperatures fall below 80 degrees, I am ready! Let’s get our fall vibes on!

It’s here! If you have a Nordstrom credit card, you already know your shopping date, if not, the sale opens up to the public on July 18, 2026.

In person, the NSALE is crazy! I can’t shop like that, so I find online shopping is much more relaxing. Some of the sale inventory is pre-fall, while other items are late summer. Before you start shopping, know what you need in your closet. I recommend pre-fall over late summer since you can wear pre-fall well into the fall season.

The key is to not over-buy from this sale. The fall trends aren’t here yet, so this sale is great for buying basics and classic items which will work for several seasons. Remember the sale rule, if you wouldn’t pay full price, don’t buy it on sale.

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks are very curated this year. Normally I find a large amount of fabulous merchandise to recommend, but this year, I am sticking to more timeless items which will blend into our wardrobes right now and well into the fall season. If you live in a climate such as California, these styles will work throughout winter too.

So, without further ado, here are my picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for 2026:
