Happy Friday! My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-On post in now live! In case you missed it, last week I posted a few try-ons in stories highlighting what I bought from this years sale. I saved the try-on, along with my general shopping guides, to an IG highlight so you can reference back.
One of my favorite finds were these Levi Straight Jeans on sale for $70. I was pleasantly surprised by them and they’re still fully stocked! I picked up the Vince Coatigan in camel as my splurge item and it’s also still in stock. I purchased the grey color last year and it ended up being one of my most worn items. A few big ticket items that are still available is our infant car seat and convertible car seat.
Overall I think the sale has been a little underwhelming the past few years. I quickly shopped at our local Nordstrom store, but didn’t stress over placing any big online orders. I’m not sure if I’ll get anything else from the sale, but will definitely share and update the post if I do. I do want to reiterate that you shouldn’t feel pressured to shop. While my posts do serve as shopping guides, they’re also meant to help with styling inspo for similar items you may already own and there will be other deals throughout the year.
A few things to note! I’m 5’5 for reference and I’ve listed all the sizing details for each item below. I was 31-weeks pregnant during last years sale and I’ve re-shared a few of those items for any of my pregnant mommas shopping so you have a guide for bump friendly items. A few tips. Things do tend to sell out fast, so if you’re eyeing something, best to go ahead and purchase it and return if you change your mind. In store pick up can be a little iffy (things get sold before they actually pack up your item) and they say you’re less likely to have an online order canceled if you upgrade to overnight shipping. There are occasional restocks, especially as they process returns, so be sure to keep an eye out for those. If you have any questions, please let me know!

UPPAbaby Vista Stroller – My ride-or-die, honestly no other stroller compares
Nuna PIPA Lite Car Seat + Nuna RAVA Convertible Car Seat
- Details: We loved this infant car seat, especially for travel. The Nuna PIPA Lite is the lightest weight, but the only downside is you can’t strap it into a seatbelt WITHOUT the base (unlike the PIPA which can be), just fyi for when traveling/needing to take a cab, etc. Once they outgrow the infant car seat (such a sad day), the Nuna RAVA is great! We have the Nuna EXEC which is basically the RAVA, but with the additional feature of turning into a booster seat, but with the RAVA being on sale that would be my choice. Nuna makes the BEST car seats in my opinion.
