I Found the 19 Best Fashion and Beauty Deals to Shop in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

For those of us who identify as shopping-obsessed, it’s officially the most wonderful time of the year—aka sale season. This month, tons of brands and retailers are offering major mid-summer discounts, but few sales events are as exciting as the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. For the uninitiated, the Anniversary Sale is Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year with thousands of deals across all of your favorite high-end fashion and beauty brands. Think: Augustinus Bader, Birkenstock, YSL, and more. Now through August 4, take advantage of markdowns on everything from your everyday skincare faves to splurge-worthy designer accessories.

Since sorting through 5000-plus sale items is not for the faint of heart, I’ve decided to take the stress out of your shopping experience by curating the best fashion and beauty deals to shop during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Keep scrolling for my discounted picks, including $118 off a Kate Spade leather tote bag, under-$100 Levi’s jeans, and a skin-clearing facial device.
