The Soon-to-Sell-Out Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Deals ELLE Editors Are Buying

From Prada to YSL, we’re stocking up on quality items for a fraction of the price.

By

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially upon us, and ELLE editors are reaching for their wallets. Before the sale ends on August 3rd, we’re not risking paying full price for wedding guest dresses or some new home essentials. This year, the deals at Nordstrom are vast, with sales on everything from designer sunglasses to lightweight summer knits. But with hundreds of pages to scroll through, deciding which pieces to splurge on requires some time and energy. Luckily, the ELLE team already has heir virtual baskets full of the best markdowns and pieces that are going to become staples in their wardrobes come fall.

From fall-ready shoes that will anchor your wardrobe to beauty must-haves to upgrade your at-home blowouts, ELLE editors have scoured the Nordstrom site to find the best deals worth buying. Whether you’re on the hunt for a new under-$100 gift or some iconic beauty products, you can trust that these are the pieces that are well worth your dollar–especially when discounts are as high as 70 percent off.

Here, find the 14 fashion and beauty deals ELLE editors are actually shopping from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
