Giving you the full play-by-play on the things you need, the things that I recommend passing on, and hot sellers to grab ASAP! I shopped until I literally dropped in my local store yesterday. Going through each and every category, finding the must-have steals and deals, scoping out the absolute best of the best and I am rounding them all up here.

I’m my early-bird status helps each and every one of you in some way! And I want to reiterate how thankful I am for your support and love and shopping my links. It means the world to me.  Hopefully this post serves as a helpful resource for you in shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. So, without further adieu, let’s get down to business:

My 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale First Looks and Favs

It's LIVE, The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale... First Look Favs + Dressing Room Diaries by popular Nashville fashion blog, Hello Happiness: graphic collage image of items available during the 2019 Nordstrom anniversary sale.

1 Gorjana Shimmer Coin Pendant Necklace [Sale $42, After $65] Delicate necklace style… my go-to neckwear as of late and this all new arrival with it’s coin pendant detail tops my list of favorites for the sale!!! Makes a great gift for those early shoppers looking for holiday finds and girlfriend gifting options! 

2 Anthropologie Capri Volcano Iridescent Jar Candle [Sale $22, After $35] My  favorite candle scent… EVER. I always have at least 2 in my stash ready to switch out once they burn down and they never disappoint! A great gift for anyone and a necessary to grab while it’s on major sale!!! 

3 Madewell Fleet Jacket [Sale $64, After $98] I so wanted this to be in my store to try-on in person, but no luck so I just ordered it online… priority shipping so it should be here ASAP. The Madewell items have already been a favorite for me this go-around.  So I’m crossing my fingers it’s a win as well. 

4 Adidas Swift Run Sneaker  [Sale $63, After $85] Sneakers. Always a HUGE category during the anniversary sale and these puppies have been a favorite for everyone. Having a great neutral colorway and sleek silhouette; these are a great everyday shoe for the gal-on-the-go. For sizing reference, I found them to run TTS. 

5 Quay Australia High Key Aviator Sunglasses [Sale $42, After $65] YES… you’re seeing this correctly. My favorite summer sunglasses are included in the sale! Available in both the gold colorway as well as the black; these are the essential mirrored sunglasses and the price can’t be beat!

6 Free People Softly Structured Tunic [Sale $98, After $148] Major sell out alert! I remember this tunic sweater sold out in record time in 2018.  So I have a feeling we are going to have a repeat offender this go-around as well. This sweater comes in fab fall colorways and is super soft and cozy. Plus it’s a longer length sweater too. Remember, FP runs generous and I wear an XS for reference! 

7 Chevron Two-Piece Luggage Set [Sale $199, After $299] I saw this steal of a deal online; and think it’s perfect for someone who travels as much as we have lately. I am always on the hunt for affordable, high quality, durable luggage. This hard frame set features a 19-inch and 28-inch and comes in two colors. One for you and one for your better half!

Vince Camuto Kimora Cutout Sandal [Sale $99, After $149] I grabbed these in the mushroom color and absolutely LOVE them!  They are so good that I might order the black, too. They run TTS and are super comfy! Love these with leggings, denim, dresses, and rompers. And the cut-out cuteness detail is right on trend for fall.

9 Halogen Lace Detail Blouse [Sale $49, After $79] Looking for fall feminine style?? This lace blouse is the epitome of chic womenswear and is under $50! I love the ivory color palette. But it also comes in black to pair with your favorite denim, ponte pants, and faux leather skirt. 

10 Spanx Faux Leather Leggings [Sale $64, After $98] Hands down, my #1 recommendation to purchase during the sale.  I have two pair and are definitely what I wear the most during fall and winter months.  So, yes, they are absolutely worth the price.   These NEVER go on sale, so it’s your best bet to grab them ASAP! For sizing reference, I wear a size small in all the Spanx leggings. But seriously, DO NOT CHECKOUT WITHOUT BUYING THESE BEAUTIES. 😉

11 Barefoot Dreams® CozyChic Lite® Circle Cardigan [Sale $76, After $119] I’ve been putting off this purchase for years, and ALWAYS regret not buying one.  So this year I treated myself and said yes to the grey version of this cardigan. It’s absolutely the softest sweater EVER, and comes in a ton of hues, too.

12 Clare V Midi Snakeskin Crossbody Bag [Sale $199, After $299] Snakeskin =  the new neutral for fall 2019 and this crossbody style by the fab Clare V is on everyone’s list… my birthday is coming up after all and I am rap in love with the stripe camera strap in red and blue. Absolute perfection! 

13 JCrew Dover Blazer [Sale $130, After $199] I have this in navy and wear it year-round! It’s a medium-weight material, with interior lining, gold button detail and is classic workwear that you can style with a variety of ensembles for everyday and beyond. The colors this season are STELLAR and I’m eyeing that yellow. I tried it on in store yesterday, but I needed to size down to a 0 as it runs a bit generously. JCrew for the win yet again! 

14 Barefoot Dreams In the Wild Throw Blanket [Sale $118, After $180] I love it so much I used it last night already! i grabbed the traditional khaki/black colorway, but the grey/black is totally on point as well… so soft that I know I am going to have to keep this hidden so my little women don’t accidentally take it for themselves! Plan ahead and grab this for your parents’ Christmas gift and you’ll be the favorite for sure. 

15 Leith Ruched Wrap Bodycon Dress [Sale $38, After $59] Pretty in e s and oh so chic, I LOVE the silhouette of this dress. Under $40 and I have it in the tank style, so I know it’s going to be a winner for everyone–so many color options and a great style for year-round wear = winning!

16 T3 Cura Hair Dryer [Sale $155, After $235] and Singlepass Curling Iron [Sale $107, After $160] Two beauty buys that top my list each and every year during this sale, so I was pleased to see they were both back for this roundup. Yes, T3 makes the best of the best when it comes to hair tools in my mind and they rarely have any type of discount, so these two would be GREAT to gift yourself for better hair days ahead. If you can only choose one, get the Curling Iron because it holds curls unlike any other I’ve seen, they LAST and the extra long barrel is ideal for any hair length! 

17 We the Free by Free People High Rise Jeans [Sale $51, After $78] Another one I was hoping to score in person, but no go… they’ll have to get ordered online instead! The busted knee trend is one of my styles I keep going back for more and I’ve been super impressed with the Free People denim… I tried on a similar style in a 26 so I’ll be ordering these in the same size.

18 Zella Live-In High Waist Leggings [Sale $38, After $59] I’ve raved about the Zella workout leggings for years now and these don’t disappoint yet again… super suck you in power with a great thick material, and a staple for every wardrobe. They come in black, this fun green color for fall, and a black/grey ombre option as well.

19 Steve Madden Rockstar Bootie [Sale $86, After $129] Classically chic, but updated with rockstar studs and the best leopard pattern, these block-heel booties are a must in everyone’s shopping cart. They run TTS and come in other options [like snakeskin which is what I purchased in store!!]

20 BP Belted Waffle Jumpsuit [Sale $42, After $65] When you work from home, this is considered workwear appropriate and this is en route to my house ASAP! It looks absolutely adorable in the imagery and I you know I can’t say no to a jumpsuit… fingers crossed it’s perfect on and I’ll keep you posted once it arrives!

Now let’s move on down to everyone’s favorite thing, AKA dressing room diaries! I spent my time this year focusing on this element of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  Deciding to forego the professional pictures per your requests. Plus, I wanted to give you the goods as soon as I could. So, let’s knock this session out!

My 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dressing Room Diaries

It's LIVE, The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale... First Look Favs + Dressing Room Diaries by popular Nashville fashion blog, Hello Happiness: image of a woman standing in a Nordstrom dressing room and wearing a Something Navy Leopard Cardigan, BP Lace Trim Satin Cami, Madewell 10-Inch High Rise Skinny Jeans w/Button Front, and Marc Fisher Zuri Flat.

Something Navy Leopard Cardigan [Sale $58, After $89/HIGH SELL OUT ALERT] I’m wearing XS and this is hands down my favorite leopard cardigan from the sale.  Skip the BP version and grab this one instead bc it’s MUCH better quality.

BP Lace Trim Satin Cami [Sale $25, After $39] This comes in so many colors! Making it a yearly contender because it’s something you can dress up or down and wear every season. I’m wearing XS and they run TTS.

Madewell 10-Inch High Rise Skinny Jeans w/Button Front [Sale $89, After $135] I am not doing a HUGE denim roundup this time because honestly, there is SO much greatness to choose from. But I went with this dark rinse pair for fall.  Mostly because I LOVE Madewell denim [runs large/wearing size 24 for reference] and because I love the high rise inseam and the button front. Plus they are the perfect length, too.

Marc Fisher Zuri Flat [Sale $99, After $149] I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect everyday loafer in white; and these pretties fit the bill perfectly! They run TTS, have a slight croc design to them and  are the best shade of off-white/ivory. Which also makes them appropriate for year-round wear.


It's LIVE, The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale... First Look Favs + Dressing Room Diaries by popular Nashville fashion blog, Hello Happiness: image of a woman standing in a Nordstrom dressing room and wearing a Polka Dot Jumpsuit and Vince Camuto Kimora Cutout Sandal.

Polka Dot Jumpsuit [Sale $45, After $69] This jumpsuit is adorable! A summer steal and something perfect for you ladies looking for ensembles you can wear right now.  It has a great silhouette, is roomy and has adjustable straps.  Making it perfect to wear for a girls night out or pair with a simple sandal for a everyday look.  Definitely an item you should consider buying during this Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Vince Camuto Kimora Cutout Sandal [Sale $99, After $149] Same sandal I shared above in my top 20.  Though this time in black. They come in three color options and are ALL equally great!!! These will absolutely SELL OUT so grab them ASAP. The perfect cut-out sandal bootie and I bought a similar style last year and wore them everywhere.


It's LIVE, The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale... First Look Favs + Dressing Room Diaries by popular Nashville fashion blog, Hello Happiness: image of a woman standing in a Nordstrom dressing room and wearing a Chelsea28 Rib Neck Funnel Sweater, Wit and Wisdom Absolution Skinny Jeans, and 1 State Kaleb Wedge Bootie.

Chelsea28 Rib Neck Funnel Sweater [Sale $49, After $79] So good I just grabbed another in cream. It looks like the Free People Sweater Tunic, but a much better price in my mind! Super cozy and over-sized [wearing XS for reference]. I love the slouchy look of this chestnut variety. The perfect fall sweater and under $50–YIPPEE.

Wit and Wisdom Absolution Skinny Jeans [Sale $44, After $68] If you’re looking for a great pair of everyday medium-rinse skinny jeans and don’t want to break the bank; these are a fantastic option at just $44. I’m wearing the size 25.  They have a great source of stretch and comfort and are easy to roll up so you can show off your favorite fall footwear.

1 State Kaleb Wedge Bootie [Sale $89, After $139] LOVE these wedge-style booties for fall. The zipper detail, comfort level and color options are great as well! Under $100 for a pair of essential booties  in multiple colors.  This definitely gets two thumbs up from me! 


It's LIVE, The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale... First Look Favs + Dressing Room Diaries by popular Nashville fashion blog, Hello Happiness: image of a woman standing in a Nordstrom dressing room and wearing a Free People Citrine Tee and Free People High Rise Busted Knee Jeans.

Free People Citrine Tee [Sale $44, After $68] So nice I bought it twice in both black and off-white. It really is the greatest FP henley style tee there ever was! They run TTS [wearing XS] and have the best silhouette for pairing with basically everything in your closet 😉 This rarely goes on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  So snag this one ASAP.

Free People High Rise Busted Knee Jeans [Sale $52, After $78] Great busted knee option for skinny jeans. They do run small, so size up as the legs don’t have a lot of wiggle room in them! Higher rise for us mamas who want a little more tummy control and a casual light wash everyone loves.


It's LIVE, The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale... First Look Favs + Dressing Room Diaries by popular Nashville fashion blog, Hello Happiness: image of a woman standing in a Nordstrom dressing room and wearing a Free People Citrine Tee and Madewell Black Denim 9-Inch High Rise Skinny Jeans w/Unfinished Hem.

Free People Citrine Tee [Sale $44, After $68] Same top as above and still seriously THAT good!!!

Madewell Black Denim 9-Inch High Rise Skinny Jeans w/Unfinished Hem [Sale $84, After $128] The only other pair of denim I took home with me during this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is this INCREDIBLE pair of black skinny jeans. They have a great high rise and lots of stretch that holds you in.  Plus I love the raw hem detail. Size up in this pair as they ran a bit small [wearing size 26].

Topshop Double Breasted Plaid Blazer [Sale $69, After $110]  Stepping out of my comfort zone with this one and I kinda love it!!! This over-sized plaid blazer is definitely giving me the fall vibes and it’s perfect work AND weekend wear.  I’m wearing size 0/2 for reference andI like the boxy fit, button detail and the herringbone print.

Halogen Shawl Collar Blazer [Sale $98, After $149]. I grabbed a tweed blazer in last year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and it as one of my top-selling items. So when I saw this in store, I knew I needed to try it on! Wearing XS Petite for reference; it totally reminds me of a vintage chic Chanel.  But for a fraction of the price. I absolutely love the navy, black and red colorway and the details make this under $100 obsession INCREDIBLE. Pictures honestly don’t do it justice!
