Hey, fashion fam! It’s Raina, your go-to gal for all things style on my little corner of the internet. Are you ready to dive into the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale madness? I sure was, so I headed to the Nordstrom at Bellevue Square to check out the vibes in person. Let me tell you, the store is BUZZING with excitement, and I snapped a ton of pics to share the scoop! While shopping online is great, the in-store experience has some serious perks that make it worth the trip. Here’s what I found:
In-Store Exclusives You Don’t Want to Miss:
- July 9–14: Early Bird Perks! The first 200 shoppers each day score a scratch-off card with a chance to win up to a $2,000 Nordstrom gift card or other fab prizes. Talk about a reason to get there early!
- July 15–August 4: Glam Up Days! Pop into the beauty department for free masterclasses with brands like Charlotte Tilbury and OSEA. You’ll get personalized beauty consultations, custom samples, and gift-with-purchase goodies when you shop select brands.
- Brand Pop-Ups & Events: Interact with faves like MAC and Jo Malone for exclusive discounts and one-of-a-kind experiences that scream VIP.
- Personalized Styling: Book a free styling session (online or in-store) and let Nordstrom’s pros curate your fall wardrobe. It’s like having a fashion fairy godmother!
My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Pro Tips:
- Plan Ahead: The online preview is live at nordstrom.com/anniversary—add your must-haves to your wishlist now to avoid the in-store frenzy. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!
- Shop Smart with Pickup Options: Order online and choose “Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store” or “Curbside Pickup” to skip the crowds and grab your haul hassle-free.
- Size It Up: Hot items like jeans and boots sell out FAST. My hack? Order multiple sizes online, try them on in-store, and return what doesn’t work. Easy peasy!
- Hunt for Hidden Gems: Each store’s buyers curate unique pieces, so you might stumble on exclusives not available online. Pro tip: visit a couple of locations to maximize your finds!
- Max Out Nordy Club Perks: If you’ve got a Nordstrom card, you’re in for treats like early access shopping, points (2,000 points = $20 Nordstrom Note), and free basic alterations. Not a member? Sign up for Nordy Club to unlock these goodies!
That’s my dispatch from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale frontlines! Be sure to follow along for my full recommendation guide—I’ll be dropping tons of must-have picks and surprises. Happy shopping, and let’s make this.
