Because next to Christmas, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the most wonderful time of the year. And here’s how you can get an early access sneak peek preview! Go! Go! Go!

Next to their Black Friday/Cyber Monday event, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the best ways to save insane money on some of your favorite things in the world of beauty, fashion (for women and men), home decór, all kinds of kids stuff, and so much more. And I’m not talking about things that are 10% off (insert eye-roll here), but major sales like 35% to 50% off (and in some cases, more!).

When is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale This Year?

Last year things were finally back to normal in terms of the sales event being held in July again. The preview started in July 6, early access began on July 12, and it officially opened to everyone on July 28 and ended on August 8.

While it’s still a bit early for an official announcement, we’re anticipating a similar timeframe being this summer – July 2022. I’ll let you know some concrete dates as soon as they become more solid.

When Can I Preview the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Catalog?

Similar to when they announce all the official dates, Nordstrom will typically release the catalog – which you can preview on their own site as well. Check the latest catalog here.

What’s Going to Be on Sale?

Uh, almost everything. Here’s the thing about this event; while it does take place smack dab in the middle of the summer (and you can still get great deals on summer items), it’s also a great preview for the fall. Typically by August you’re starting to get a little interested in some fall-like things. I’m not talking full-on pumpkin-spice lattes. But we’re getting closer.

While there are so many great deals happening, below are the ones we think are the best. If you’re a bit early, check out their twice-per-year Half Yearly sale to tide you over. And we’re starting off with a ring that basically only J. Lo could purchase! Hopefully these deals keep you occupied until the main event takes place!
