Insider Nordstrom Sale Tips and Dates

 Insider Nordstrom Sale Tips and DatesHello Pretty Ladies, 

The most anticipated Sale of the Year! It starts tomorrow, but only for cardholders with Icon Static…. I didn’t want non-cardholders to feel left out, so I scoured all 136 pages of the sale section to bring you my top picks throughout the week! I hope you enjoy seeing some of the pieces I own and a peek at my wish list, I am swooning over them. Perfect pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, transition into Fall, and pieces you’ll live in all Winter! This Sale is the best price of the Year and makes for a great time to stock up. I will share my anniversary and beauty picks later in the week.

Things to remember: The Anniversary SALE is open for preview and starts tomorrow for Icon static cardholders….Don’t have a card? Apply here to shop for the Cardholder sale from July 9th to August 4th. Store sales will open to the public from July 15th to August 4th. Are you a cardholder? Remember, you get a triple points day, so don’t forget to schedule it for the day you’re headed to shop.

If shopping online, you can schedule your points on your order before checking out. If you feel like shopping on my page and using my links here and below, I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I get a tiny commission, which allows me to keep doing what I love.

 

Insider Nordstrom Sale Tips and Dates

Mark your calendar:

 Don’t forget to watch my Instagram stories for daily tips, to see my try-on, and for more in-store details. On July 10th, tune in at 4:00 p.m. for my live on Instagram. I’ll be sharing items I own and wardrobe builders. I’m also excited to give you a sneak peek at what will be on Sale from Wit & Wisdom as they send me six affordable pieces to share. Again, thank you for your support and for taking the time to stop by and read my post.

You don’t have to be a cardholder to SHOP the SALE! You can sign up to be a member for free and still earn points. 

Things to Know about the Sale

Link to apply for Nordstrom card HERE

If you want to score early access, apply for a Nordstrom credit card ASAP. The retailer offers two types of cards, a retail credit card and a Visa credit card, which provide the same benefits and are eligible for early access to the Anniversary Sale. While your cardmember status depends on yearly spending amounts (shared below), all cardmembers automatically start at Influencer status, which means you’ll get an extra four days to shop the Sale before it opens to everyone.

Insider tips

Early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins tomorrow for Cardholders, and even I can’t stop until the 11th! The bummer is that things start selling quickly, so I have some tips!

  • Shop online! This is where you will find the most extensive selection!
  • Add to Wishlist! If you see something you love, add it to your wishlist, so the day you’re able to shop, you can immediately “add to cart”!
  • Add a different size! If the size you are looking for sells out in your size, add a different size to your shopping bag and check back often as things get returned and stocked! I’ve even had luck exchanging after the sale for the correct size and color.
  • Expedite Shipping! For $20, this bumps your order and gives you a better chance to get what you want!

 

When can I shop for the 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

July 1st- Online preview begins ( you can start planning and creating your wishlist) 

Icons July 9th-14th -Icon Early Access. Icons spend over $15,000 per Year

Ambassadors – July 10th-14th- Ambassador early access. Ambassadors spend over $5000 per Year.

How I am Breaking Down the Sale:

What I will be sharing from the Nordstrom sale is broken down. I feel breaking the Sale down and scaling it into categories is essential. Hopefully, you will find this method easier and won’t feel overwhelmed. Please note that I go through every sale item and think about what a great deal is and what closet staples are great to add without going overboard. I also choose items that are hard to find on Sale, so shopping for them now may be your only chance to get them on Sale. Follow my Shop. LTK HERE, as I’ve created a few Nordstrom Boards to simplify shopping.

June’s 12 Best Sellers

June’s 12 Best Sellers

Hello Pretty Ladies,

June is officially over, and man, was it a blur. From a vacation in Colorado, throwing a large bridal shower, and entertaining family in town, the actual start of summer, which is when you can start to work in your yard in Utah, we finish our deck remodel, Save a kitten, off the highway, Shes doing excellent by the way. Then, I head out of town for a weekend with my hubby in Park City. I feel like I lost a month of Summer. 

Why is it winter is eight months long, and Summer flies by? July is another month that becomes a blur. July 4 is so fast, and all the Crazy sales start for Back to School and Fall! The Nordstrom sale Starts July 9, Walmart the 8th-11th, Target July 7th-13th, and Amazon Prime July 16-17th. Will you be shopping the Big 4 sales? If so, I would love to know what you are shopping for and if you want me to showcase anything special. Comment below if you have any questions for me. 

About the July Sales

I’ll share the six items I purchase yearly from Nordstrom and my picks on Amazon Prime sale, my favorite pick from each, what I believe is too good of a sale not to grab, and some gift ideas. 

As for the Nordstrom sale, I will do an in-store try-on; you loved the one I did last year, as I know it helps you see how they fit. Here is last year’s Try-on. I have already noticed that several of my BEST SELLERS from previous years are on sale again this year, and if you plan on grabbing a sale item or two, you might want to add them to your wish list to have them ready when you can shop. If you’re interested in shopping for sales, sign up for my post alerts on ShopLTK. This will help you see the posts first. You can do that HERE.

Please remember that I am sharing things that caught my eye, which are great and will help you build your wardrobe. But by no means don’t feel like you have to shop just because they’re on sale. I always say it’s only a good deal if you wear and style it in multiple ways.

Friday’s Favorites and Weekend Sale Round Up!

Friday’s Favorites and Weekend Sale Round Up!

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Another week is flying by, and it’s hard to believe it’s the last few days of June. Ben and I are headed out of town for some stay-cation in Park City. He booked it forever ago, and he’s looking forward to a bit of downtime. If we stay home, he continues to work at our or someone else’s home, so he likes to book several local weekend trips a year.

Let’s catch up

July is a busy month, with all the BIG sales, the Nordstrom sale, Amazon Prime days, and Walmart & Target having to get into the game. I’ll be covering my favorite picks and things I have purchased, but I would love to know if there is something you want me to cover or review. Comment below with your questions and what sales you’re looking forward to. It’s great to start creating your wish lists now.  here are a couple of favorite THINGS I recommend Purchashing if you don’t have Spanx| Free People Sweater| Pillow Talk| New Balance 327| 

Excited this year that a couple of brands I have loved and purchased from have reached out to partner with me. Can’t wait to share the items and show you how I will style them. 

I look forward to a July girlfriends/work trip with some of my favorite Midlife blogger friends. Mixing work and play is always a good time. Do you have any guesses as to whom I will be meeting?

July also means we’re in countdown mode for our son’s wedding.  August 24th is going to come up fast.  My dress arrived yesterday and fit perfectly, so that is a check off my list. I need to start working on the welcome boxes, and I still have some details to finish up for the rehearsal party. Say party because it’s a Black Tie destination wedding, and we invited everyone who will be in town on Friday to attend the more casual Lake Party after the rehearsal.

4th of July Outfit Inspirations:

4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Today, I am sharing the 4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40. These outfits range from easy outfits you can create from your closet, using the traditional color theme of red, white, and blue, to a couple of kitschy looks with stars and flags. 

I am sharing easy, peezy outfits that say the 4th of July without having a flag or stars to say the 4th of July. You can grab your Red, white, and blue pieces out of your wardrobe all summer, and pairing them together creates a Holiday look without having a 4th of July star or flag item. Stripes are one of my favorite things, and I love that you can mix a bold stripe and a small stripe to a solid and get a great vibe. Another trick to get a festive look without wearing a big Star or Flag is adding a mini star or flag print as a small detail on a scarf to tie on a bag or a simple accessory like an earring. This little detail adds that 4th of July touch to an outfit without screaming the 4th.

Today is our monthly blog hop, and it is always fun to see what my girlfriends Dawn, Suzanne, and Cindy are sharing on the monthly topic over on their blogs. The 4th of July is a week away, and that seems like an appropriate topic. Their blogs are linked at the end of this post.

Tips on shopping your closet:

To create the looks below from your closet, look for something you have similar, whether it’s the color or the style; something similar will still give out the same feel. 

4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40

I did an Amazon haul at the beginning of Summer with great basics that happened to be in the color theme of the 4th of July. I chose these colors simply because they felt like summer to me, and then I realized I picked the perfect colors for the 4th of July, which is also a great Summer season color palette. 

Shop the look HERE page below:

The Flag sweater is so cute, and I love it printed in this season’s hottest color: Cornflower blue. I’ve been crushing on this color, and when I saw it, I had to have it. The flag sweater reminds me of a preppy Ralph Loren polo and is a classic in my eyes. A flag also has a coastal vibe to it, making it perfect to wear all summer long. Shop the look HERE.

The Red Stripe Amazon maxi dress has been a repeat best-seller for me. Easy to wear all summer long. I paired the dress with a denim shirt around the waist, a caramel tote, and Tory Burch Miller sandals. Shop the look HERE.

These come in and out of stock. Because they sell so fast, and they fit true to size. Excellent quality for the price✔️Cashmere sweater fits tts. Tory Burch Miller is in red TTS, Lisi Lurch bracelets, and a Laudi Vindi custom bag, which is genuine leather. It is so beautiful, as are Amazon raffia ball earrings. SHOP the look HERE

Summer Capsule Wardrobe with Chico’s

Summer Capsule Wardrobe with Chico’s

Hello Pretty Ladies,

The First day of Summer is just a couple of weeks away, and I am so excited for the outdoor season to start. If you’re like me, you love all the outdoor time, evenings on the porch, pool days, summer travel, and social time. I adore being in my yard and garden; even if it’s a lot of work, it’s therapeutic. I’ve even got my Summer book list picked for those pool days and porch moments. I’ll share about that next week.

If you follow me on the gram, you know I just returned from a Colorado vacation with my hubby, and Now I am in full bridal shower mode. The party is on Saturday, and if that wasn’t enough, I have a Fashion Fix styling segment on Good Things Utah Tomorrow. So, to say I am running in a hundred directions would be true. With that said, today, I am sharing a summer capsule wardrobe with Chico’s that is perfect for the summer social season. 

Watch the Chico’s Fashion Segment HERE

Happy Friday, Pretty Ladies,

While in California a couple of weeks ago, we had to head to one of my favorite spots in Newport Beach: Lido Marina Village. This cute little shopping area on the Marina has cute coffee shops, darling boutiques, and yummy restaurants with beautiful views of the Marina and dining on the boardwalk. 

If you like cute coastal spots with fabulous shops, yummy food, or great coffee with a view, add this to your list while in California.

I am doing a quick blog post on 2 Over 40 Outfit Inspirations:

“The sound and smell of the sea cleanses my soul.”

This California girl loves the Ocean! I’m bringing you a little Black-and-White Coastal Vibe with a touch of Denim….

 

Now about the look number 1:

A little Black-and-White Coastal Vibe with a touch of Denim….All Clothing is Spanx’s,

The New Air Essentials Cropped tee shirt hits the right spot for high-waisted pants.🖤🤍 The Pants are the “perfect pants” and genuinely are perfect black pants. They are comfortable, have stretch, and fit true to size. (If you are tall, get the Talls.) I am 5 feet 91/2 inches and got the regular length, and they’re too short.

The Denim jacket with a belted waist is also a Spanx piece that is so flattering and a perfect weight for Summer nights or coastal breezes. I finished the look with a Spanx Air Essentials crew – neck sweatshirt over my shoulders. A Lack of Color Straw Hat, Julie Voz Jewelry, and Jeffery Campbell sandals. Summer accessories you’ll wear on repeat all Summer long.

Easy Coastal vibe…. Pairing Red and white

Something about White jeans paired with a stripe—these are frayed kick flare by Express—always gives me a coastal vibe. This is NOT your typical blue-and-white stripe coastal look! Try a little something different with a red-and-white stripe. This bright, cheery Red gives a fun little twist, perfect for the entire summer social season while looking classic. 3/4 Sleeve Air Essential Tee Spanx. Grab the denim Shorts HERE

 Adding a straw hat, Red millers, and gold Jewelry make the look perfect for a Coastal touch.

One Color That Works With Every Outfit

Hello, pretty Ladies,

I hope you enjoyed your Holiday weekend. We had a great weekend at home, with beautiful weather. We worked in our yard and had a BBQ with the kids. I am so grateful for those who have served and have served this great country and some who have made the greatest sacrifices. I feel blessed to come from a long line of those who have served; we are so proud of them. And that we have a day to remember & celebrate our military.  

With Memorial Day over, we are kicking off the Summer season, including longer days, warmer weather, outdoor social events, and travel. If you’re like me, you can’t wait to soak it all up.

I am doing a blog hop with my three blogger friends, Dawn, Cindy, and Suzanne, sharing Summer. The theme was anything summer-related, so check out their blog posts today to see what they shared. I have their blogs linked at the end of this post. 

Today, I am Sharing One color that works with every outfit: (Cognac, Saddle Brown, or Caramel. There are three names for one color.) It’s a timeless, elegant, and sophisticated color—a true classic. It also works in every season, and summer is one of my favorites. 

One Color That Works With Every Outfit

One Color That Works With Every Outfit

What should I purchase in this color?

Accessories Are the best place to use this color. Invest in a great handbag. I love this Vegan Tote. I’ve had it for three years and am happy it’s still available. It is my best seller and matches my Tory Burch Miller sandals perfectly. That said, you need a great pair of shoes in the same color. And a belt. I found this pair of Sandals in a major sale.

 

Three key Accessories

These three essential Accessories will transform all your summer outfits and help you transform the pieces you own in your closet. These three key pieces work with all colors. They help elevate and add polish to your simplest t-shirt and denim, creating a quiet luxury look. I’ve shared a variety of outfits and ways you can style the tote and sandals to give you an idea of the color’s versatility.

 

Summer Style & Trend

This summer season, accessories made from raffia straw are on trend. Several have been mixed with trim or details in Cognac leather, making for the ultimate summer accessories. I just ordered this Hobo bag by Eric Javits. It’s a classic shape with the perfect intricate crochet raffia straw and Napa leather binding and handles. I found a similar feel but in a classic tote style HERE for a more affordable option, and this Classic Summer tote is another affordable-price point option.

The raffia straw trend, which we see in everything from Earrings to belts, sandals, and bags, is another excellent option for adding a summer flair to your look while working with pieces you might already own in your closet. This is a great and affordable way to update your wardrobe without spending much money. Adding the Cognac trim to the raffia just elevates the acessorires. Below are a few pieces I’ve picked up or are in my cart.

Madewell Sale, Spring & Summer Must-Have’s

Hello Pretty ladies, 

I hope your week is going well. I’m hopping on for Thrifty Thursday and sharing an unusual Thursday blog post rather than a Friday, as the Madewell 20% off sale in the Like to Know It app starts today and goes until the 13th. I didn’t want you to miss this opportunity to grab some of my favorite picks you’ll wear all Spring and Summer on sale. 

You’ll love the pieces I picked out during a little try-on haul at Madewell in California this week. They’re perfect for Spring and Summer. These pieces can be mixed and matched, and they’re ideal for Memorial Weekend, BBQs, picnics, Travel every day, and Summer Holidays. I love the red accessories for a pop of color. View the Try-on HERE

I did this fun try-on with my girlfriend Danielle while in California, and I should have shared her try-on with you as well! I’ll share her picks below, as they looked darling on her and will on you, too. She’ll be shopping these pieces on the sale today as well.

On another note, my week in California was jam-packed, and I’ll share all about it next week.

Strong Women Rise… Strong Women Win… She’s HER own Strong Women Rise… Strong Women Win… She’s HER own Force from within….

I love that❤️ 

I feel so many Women, don’t give themselves enough credit…

As Moms, Wives, business owners, hard workers and the “doers”
They’re doing it all and carrying the weight …most of the time with a smile, and hiding a worry, a weakness or guilt!

Remember you are STRONG.. you are a force … and it’s ok to not to give a dam what others think… 

And sometimes… it’s ok not to Give a  dam “what’s for dinner!”😉🥰

🎥Watch tell the end to see what “Coach” did for him…

This little guy loves trees, and is at peace outside, he’d be out here all day, everyday…

He loves walks to look at trees, loves to swing in the hammock to look at the trees, he loves to touch the leaves and explore 🍂

It’s the sweetest thing to watch, 
And I enjoy every moment and don’t rush any of them🍂🍂 I am happy to look at leaves for hours🍂

Being a grandma has changed me in the most beautiful way.
I don’t rush through moments anymore.
I don’t stress the little things like I used to.
Because now I know how fast it all goes. 🥰❤️

Incase your new here… I go by “COCO “and my hubby is “Coach”

Hello, I am D’Arcy and I am 55 and I don’t let a number dictate my style✔️

Ladies, don’t let a number stop you from wearing what you love, or what makes you feel good!!

🚨3 things you should DO…

-Wear what makes you feel good

3 Things you DON’t want to do

- Care about others opinions 
- Dress your age 
-Wear things that DON’T fit well, and are uncomfortable or don’t flatter your figure.
