UPDATED FOR 2021

With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to roundup my top 5 Nsale purchases I’ve EVER made. I have been shopping this sale for years, way before becoming a blogger and knowing that this was such a big deal in blogging land. It’s hyped up for a reason!

In looking back at some of the purchases I’ve made in years past, I am sharing the best ones I made. Ones I still wear on a regular basis and would re-purchase over and over again (some that I actually have done that with!)

Top 5 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Purchase I’ve Ever Made

Zella Leggings

I have mentioned these leggings a million times at this point, but that’s cause they are my absolute number one pick each and every year! I adore these leggings and live in them pretty much year round, but especially in the fall and winter. Great for working out, great for lounging, can be dressed up or down, and HIGH quality.

I currently have 5 or 6 pairs and have washed them all countless time, no sign of wear at all! Love that they don’t pill in the inner thigh area too. They are flattering around the stomach area, holding in and concealing anything you might want to.

On the Nordstrom website they have been rated over 6.5k times, with an average rating of 4.6/5 stars. So I am definitely not the only fan! These run TTS, I have them in a medium and they fit really well.

I have purchased Zella leggings 4 years in a row, and this will be the first year I don’t purchase them. That’s only because I’m pretty well stocked at this point! But highly highly recommend.

Barefoot Dreams In the Wild Throw Blanket

Really, Barefoot Dreams anything, but this blanket has won my heart. It was something I’ve had my eye on for a while now, and I finally scooped one up during the last sale and it was the BEST decision. So soft and cozy and just overall the best blanket in the world! Wrapped up in this blanket right now as I write this post!

Not to mention is a stunning neutral piece that fits in with any home decor you have going on!

Tied would be my Barefoot Dreams Robe that I wear pretty much daily. I bought this 4-5 years ago during an Anniversary Sale, but I haven’t seen it be apart of the sale since then unfortunately. Here are the robes currently apart of this years sale!

All Barefoot Dreams products are incredibly soft and cozy, and not only that but high quality. They wash and hold up so well and get softer with each wash, showing no signs of wear. LOVE THEM.

Free People Softly Structured Knit Tunic

This is a sweater I grabbed in last years NSale but quickly became one of my most worn purchases in my closet. Perfectly oversized and comfortable without being frumpy. I wore this pretty much all of fall and winter and it definitely kept me warm and held up really well. Ended up scooping up another color a few months ago, and plan to wear them both in the coming months.

This sweater seemed to be a popular item in last years Nsale, so I would guess they’d bring this back probably in a few new colors. If so, I definitely will be grabbing one (or a couple…)

It’s a very oversized fit so I would suggest going down a size (or two if you’d like it more snug). I will be grabbing it in a small. Pricey, even with the sale, but worth it imo.

ETA: not apart of this years sale, which I’m honestly quite surprised by since it was such a popular buy last year. Similar sweater here and here, and at a better price point!

Charlotte Tilbury Set

Every year there is some Charlotte Tilbury lip themed beauty set that I personally grab. She makes high quality makeup products that are just absolutely stunning! I love her Pillow Talk line, a beautiful nude lip shade that is flattering on SO many skin tones. But her products definitely are pricey, so it’s a great time to buy!

Last year there was a set that included the Pillow Talk lipstick, liner, and lip gloss, all full sized, for $60. Normally would be $78 if you bought each individually! Def a good deal, and one of the few (possibly only) times I see these offered in a set. I’ve purchased that multiple years and wear her products often!

PS – cruelty free 🙂

PPS – I grabbed the eyeshadow palette as well last year and was underwhelmed so I returned it (and that was after swatching – Nordstrom’s return policy is the BEST!) I’ve had the best luck with the lip specific deals.

BP Flannel Top

Flannels are on repeat for me in the fall and winter time, and Nordstrom has some great flannels that are always marked down during the Anniversary Sale. There are a bunch of different brands (and price points, some are insane!) but I always stick with the BP brand and have nothing but good things to say!

Washes and wears really well, and in no way seems cheap even though it’s the least expensive flannel option typically. Pretty soft too! I’ve purchased this top a few years in a row and have it in a few different colors – all have held up great!

Runs a bit big so I sized down to a small and love the fit!

ETA – not apart of this years sale, and I’m surprised by this one too. The BP flannel has been apart of the sale for as long as I’ve been shopping it! But this flannel top is a very similar price point!

What are your best NSale purchases from all of the past years?! I’d love to hear what you’re still loving!
