I visited Nordstrom's flagship store in NYC for the Anniversary Sale—here's a roundup of everything I tried and adored.
I’ve been a Nordstrom shopper since my teenage years, and over time, I’ve seen the retailer's selection improve significantly. I still recall the excitement I felt when I first came across Space—the in-house boutique dedicated to showcasing emerging and established designers. It quickly became a dependable destination for discovering new brands all in one location. Another aspect I enjoy about Nordstrom is its annual Anniversary Sale. This year, I opted to visit the NYC flagship in person. With seven floors and more than 320,000 square feet, I was instantly captivated by the beauty on the first floor as I entered, admiring all my favorite brands, from Rōz to Parfums de Marly to Prada Beauty. When it comes to fashion, I suggest taking this opportunity to grab chic basics that you can wear repeatedly. Below are the discounted wardrobe essentials I tried on and some cult-favorite beauty items that stood out to me. They are available in-store and online until August 3.
**What I Tried On**
**Vince**
Short Sleeve Wool & Cashmere Sweater
To find chic basics, I was attracted to this sweater made of 90% wool and 10% cashmere, which feels more refined than an ordinary T-shirt.
**Levi's**
Ribcage High Waist Straight Leg Jeans
Levi’s were, of course, on my list. A friend owns these exact full-length, straight-leg jeans, and they always look exceptionally flattering.
**Halogen**
Contrast Trim Long Sleeve Sweater Dress
This polo dress with contrast trim reminds me of the preppy aesthetic from the early 2000s that’s making a comeback (notably seen at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival). Beyond that, it feels more polished and timeless—lasting beyond current trends. I envision pairing it with Miu Miu satin ballerina flats or kitten heels.
**Open Edit**
Cowl Neck Asymmetric Satin Midi Dress
Open Edit is all about minimalist essentials, so I was eager to check out its discounts. The Reformation Casette Dress has been my go-to as a wedding guest dress, and this satin midi has a similar vibe.
**Nordstrom**
Short Sleeve Cashmere Sweater
**Nordstrom**
Tiered Cotton Poplin Maxi Skirt
I paired it with this Tiered Cotton Poplin Maxi Skirt.
**Beauty Discounts That Caught My Eye**
**Rōz**
Foundation Conditioner
My dream shampoo from Rōz is already sold out, but the conditioner is still available.
**T3**
Aire IQ Hair Dryer Set
I own this exact blow-dryer and love it. It features damage protection, and you can customize the heat and speed settings to suit your hair type.
**Parfums de Marly**
Valaya Eau de Parfum Set
For Valaya enthusiasts, this set includes notes of bergamot, mandarin, white peach, orange flower, nympheal, vetiver, akigalawood, Ambrofix, and musk.
**Diptyque**
Iconic Candle Gift Set
This exclusive Diptyque set includes Baies, Figuier, and Tubereuse and is only available during the sale.
**TOM FORD**
Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum & Travel Spray Gift Set
This eau de parfum and travel spray is described as "Lost Cherry mingles black cherry with cherry liqueur accords and a touch of bitter almond, bursting forth in waves of sweet and tart. Opulent floral notes of rose and jasmine sambac blend with an unexpected mélange of sandalwood, vetiver, and cedarwood."
**Augustinus Bader**
The Rich Cream Jumbo
I’ve heard amazing reviews of this popular cream from Augustinus Bader.
**NuFACE**
Trinity+ Complete Microcurrent & Red Light Facial Toning Device Set
If you've considered purchasing a NuFACE, this might be your chance.
**Nécessaire**
Eucalyptus-scented gel-oil body wash.
**Vacation**
French Riviera Orange Gelée SPF 30 Sunscreen Gel Duo
Vacation’s balm-to-oil sunscreen has a fragrance of bergamot, clove, saffron, patchouli, and sandalwood.
**Prada Beauty**
Mini 3-Piece Lip Set
Includes two of Prada's Monochrome Hyper Matte Lipsticks (in B02 Quartz and B03 Mahogany) and the iconic color-changing Prada Balm in Astral Pink.
**Prada Beauty**
Paradoxe Eau de Parfum Gift Set
This Paradoxe fragrance set comes with a full-size eau de parfum, a travel-size eau de parfum, and a perfumed body lotion and is part of the sale.
**L'Occitane**
Showered in Almond Set
This L'Occitane shower oil is incredibly hydrating.
