24 PureWow Reader Obsessions Are Steeply Discounted During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Self-proclaimed bra hater, former PureWow Associate Fashion Commerce Editor, Stephanie Meraz, was blown away by the Natori Feathers bra. “Despite the lace design, the bra looks smooth underneath my shirts and I never see lumps or divots poking out against the fabric,” she writes in her review. “I don’t have the patience to give it a hand wash, as the brand suggests, but I’m happy to report that it has survived the delicates wash cycle like a champ (just make sure to zip it up in a washing bag for delicates for extra protection). Between the soft feel of the fabric to the thin, lightweight padding that felt so malleable and non-suffocating on my skin, I almost forgot that I was even wearing a bra. The lace band felt supple and breathable against my chest and ribcage like a gentle hug that never dug in or caused my skin to spill over (the bra is made from a blend of up to 50 percent recycled materials). The demi contour and deep plunge created a flattering shape and natural lift that looked great with my V-neck blouses and dresses.”

One of the most-wanted shoes of the summer, you can bet this classic throwback sneaker won’t stay in stock for long, especially while they’re under $100. The Gazelles feature a premium suede wrap with leather and rubber finishes throughout. The shoe also includes a terry cloth lining at the heel tab for an extra vintage feel.

Sure, the temperatures are blazing right now, but it’s never a bad idea to contemplate fall coats from the Nordstrom anniversary sale. Zella’s bomber-style cut offers a bit of length and layering ability for a cold-weather wardrobe. There’s a two-way zipper, generous welt pockets—plus, the coat is machine washable. That’s the biggest win in my book, since dry cleaning is the bane of my existence. This quilted number comes in three colors: Grey Moonbeam, Burgundy Fudge and black. 

This short-sleeve sweater from Treasure & Bond is a great layering piece to complement the quilted jacket, above. There are three neutral, polished colors: Brown Malicacia, Pink Beauty and Ivory Egret. It’s an alpaca and wool blended crewneck with sleeves that just graze your elbows for a relaxed fit. French-tuck into your jeans or wear it loosely for a more casual feel.

Here’s why you need to add these platform slippers to your shopping cart before they’re gone: With a wool and shearling upper and lining, they’ll basically wrap your feet in fluffy warmth all day. And though they boast a thick platform sole, buyers say similar iterations have always been comfy, not clunky. There are five colors, including fun shades of Moss Green, Beige Blush and Mustard Seed. Needless to say, you’ll look forward to throwing these on as soon as you touch down at home.

PureWow editors love Nuna car seats, and the Rava model is $170 off during the Nordstrom anniversary sale. This adjustable style will accommodate children up to 50 pounds, allowing them to ride back-facing, and has a one-hand adjustable harness. Other features include ten-position recline and head support, no flame retardants and extra leg room for older kids. It’s also aircraft certified so you can haul it on a plane. Of course, the car seat knows the most important thing for any kid is the snacks. Flip-open cup holders fold up when not in use, but otherwise keep food and drinks in easy reach. Ventilation panels also keep the air flowing on stuffy days.

“Absolutely love this Nuna car seat,” raves one buyer and parent. “It is more expensive than many other brands but once you buy it, you will understand why. The fabric is so soft and pretty, the install is the easiest by far, and my toddler is comfortable and safe. We had a wreck with the impact on the door where this car seat was installed. It didn't budge, my daughter didn't even realize we had been hit. So worth the money and peace of mind!”

One item PureWow readers can’t get enough of? This menswear-inspired pajama set, which includes a button-up top with matching bottoms. The fit is loose enough to give you plenty of wiggle room without bunching up at your feet—and the Tencel modal material is not only super soft, but also cooling (and perfect for hot sleepers during peak summer). Plus, they come in a range of chic colors and patterns including leopard spots, Barbie pink and, of course, classic black.

Any self-respecting Millennial knows that Gen Z has proclaimed no-show socks as “out.” So, if you’re eying some Bombas socks during the Nordstrom anniversary sale, make them these trendy cotton ankle socks. They’re machine washable and come in a bevy of fun colors. I personally have several pairs of Bombas and love how thick the material is without looking bulky.

I know it’s going to be a good day any time I can score cashmere on sale. This ultra-cozy crewneck sweater is as timeless as it gets, and reviewers say it holds up well season after season, with minimal pilling. As for the fit, most buyers note that it’s true to size, but if you like an oversize silhouette, you may want to go up one from your usual size.

What do Meghan Markle, Reese Witherspoon and PureWow’s Senior Director of Special Projects & Royals, Rachel Bowie, have in common? An obsession with Mother Denim. “The name Mother plays off the idea of duality—it can be nurturing and a cuss. From the minute I stepped into the first style I tried, I felt that: comfortable and cool,” Bowies writes in her review. “The denim is buttery soft—as in, you kind of can’t believe how good it feels against your skin. The material yields a fit that almost melds to your curves—I was blown away by how good even the most form-fitting pair felt.” During the anniversary sale, you can save nearly $100 off a pair of the effortlessly stylish Dodger high-waisted, wide leg jean—perfect for a night out, brunch and picking up the kids from school.

Get ready to travel in style with this sleek, expandable carry-on, currently 25 percent off. It’s incredibly easy to maneuver, thanks to four 360-degree swiveling wheels. And the inside has an expansion gusset to give you even more room if you want to toss in an extra pair of shoes or stock up on souvenirs for the return trip home.

In the last few years, Mary Janes—and ballet flats, more generally—have been impossible to escape. Whether you’re a late adopter or are looking for your next favorite pair, these streamlined flats offer a versatile silhouette that can be dressed up or down. Finishes include leather, leopard print, suede and a glossy finish.

I’m pretty sure Lorelei Gilmore would have approved of this naughties baguette bag from none other than Coach. It’s available in four colors, including a splashy Merlot, with the signature “C” logo on the flap. I appreciate the removable crossbody strap so that you can convert the bag into a nighttime purse, while keeping it casual during the day. There are two pockets, one exterior and one interior, and the bag has a textured, pebble finish.

You can’t walk three feet without running into red light therapy. During the Nordstrom anniversary sale, you can save over $100 on the celeb-favorite, FDA-cleared Solawave Wrinkle Retreat mask. It’s made of soft, flexible silicone that contours to your face with an adjustable strap.

“About three weeks in, the fine lines around my forehead and my crow’s feet seemed less prominent. I didn’t have Botox-caliber results, but I looked better rested, glowier—a less-haggard me,” reports PureWow Vice President of Editorial, Candace Davison. “And honestly, that’s what I wanted. I’ve never been big into makeup; I just like a subtle boost on days when I look sallow. I wanted to still feel (and look like) me, and that’s exactly what these treatments did.”

If you live in a climate that can get slushy, you’ll thank yourself for picking up these Sorel waterproof boots. Whether you’re splashing through puddles, dodging snowflakes or trying not to slide around on half-melted ice, they’ll keep you stylish, warm and dry. As someone who deals with these things often in New York, I also appreciate the slight platform that keeps feet elevated from the pavement.

Nothing kills the travel bug like the thought of lugging all the kiddie gear. Between the car seats, play pen and luggage (not to mention wrangling the kid), you barely have the hands to hold anything else. So, it’s always a treat when a good, ergonomic stroller comes onto the scene. Nuna’s TRVL stroller is everything an on-the-go parent could want, and more. A one-hand compact fold via touchbar. One-touch brake. SPF 50 water-repellent canopy. All wheel suspension. No re-thread harness. Carry bag. Suddenly, a trip to Hawaii is looking a lot more feasible.

Barefoot Dreams is a PureWow reader and editor favorite. “Unlike throws I’d picked up at HomeGoods or been gifted myself, the Barefoot Dreams blanket was generously proportioned. Its knit fabrication has just enough give to seem like it’s hugging you (I know, it sounds corny but that’s the sensation you get when you wrap it around your shoulders on a chilly morning Zoom call),” PureWow Senior Editor Dana Dickey writes in her review. “Additionally, because the knit isn’t open weave, it doesn’t seem to fray or catch on buttons or doorknobs like some blankets. (I may be walking around a drafty house wearing mine, okay?) Whether I’m wearing it, sleeping under it or sharing it with a boyfriend and assorted canines, the blanket somehow doesn’t get stretched out like cheaper throws.”

“The first thing I noticed when I unboxed this beauty? It had a 360-degree oval-shaped barrel with a perfect, 2.44-inch diameter. With other tools I’ve tried, I’ve noticed that they look more like an inflated paddle board. Most aren’t actually round—they’re somewhat two-dimensional, making it harder to maneuver when I’m styling from root to tip,” notes PureWow Associate Editor Sydney Meister in her review. “Drybar’s barrel, however, made it feel just like the round brush I’d normally use with a blow dryer—only it cut my styling time in half. After just 15 minutes of styling time, I was blown away (pun intended) by how fast this thing dried my hair. According to the brand, there are ‘strategically placed vents that provide maximum airflow for a faster blowout,’ and they weren’t lying. After towel-drying and brushing my hair with a detangling comb, I sectioned it into four layers from top to bottom. It took about two to three passes to get each section of hair completely dry, and I’d do a fourth run to get the flip right on the bottom…When I woke up the next morning, it still looked pretty fresh.”

Whenever editors talk about Sunday Riley in the PureWow office, C.E.O. glow never fails to get a mention—and it’s a PureWow reader favorite, too. “I have well over half a bottle left to use, but already, my complexion is brighter, healthier and the contrast in my dark spots has been diminished like with no product I’ve ever used before,” notes former PureWow Commerce Editor Olivia Dubyak.

While C.E.O. Glow isn’t a drop in the bucket, the Nordstrom anniversary sale is the perfect time to stock up. The jumbo bottle, at 3.4 ounces, is worth $284. But, the retailer has marked it down from $205 to $185. With vitamin C hero ingredient THD ascorbate promising toned, clear, brighter skin, plush hydration and calming properties, this is probably one of the best beauty deals happening right now.

The Barefoot Dreams cult-favorite throw blanket also comes in a ribbed edition and in more colors than the classic. Soft neutrals like Umber, Terra, Olive Branch and Moonwater will give your living room an inviting, plush atmosphere. Don’t be surprised if friends and family fight over who gets to burrow underneath it during movie nights.

As an ardent Diptyque perfume fan, I’m beelining for this trio of the brand’s classic candles. This gift set is exclusive to the anniversary sale, featuring 2.5-ounce Baies, Tubereuse and Figuier that flaunt Diptyque’s signature fresh, green scents. Trust me, you’ll want these lighting your dinner table aglow at many a summer al fresco party. 

Dyson is renowned for its top-of-the-line appliances and beauty tools that nail design and performance. They also have a hefty price tag to match. Per Meister, who is also PureWow’s resident home expert, you can’t do better than this stick vacuum.

“I’d say the V15 is worth every penny if you’re looking to invest in a powerful cordless vacuum,” she writes in her review. “Its laser-guided cleaning head, intelligent suction adjustment and HEPA filtration system set it apart from other vacuums on the market—and it outperformed when it came to hair shed and battery life. Not to mention that it comes with a two-year warranty, plus lifetime Dyson support for replacements and troubleshooting.”

While it normally retails for $750, you can nab it for almost $200 off during the Nordstrom anniversary sale.

PureWow Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth proclaimed Longchamp’s Le Pliage the “It” bag of 2025. It’s a great way to show off those trendy bag charms, but more importantly, this is a handbag that lasts, always stays in style and will carry literally everything.

“I’ve owned my Nylon Le Pliage tote since college and it’s held up phenomenally well, I must say,” she says. “The material has a few spots here and there, but nothing all that noticeable, and the leather is wearing extremely well. You can tell this bag is not new, but in the best way imaginable. It has so much room to handily fit everything you might need for a day out and about. In addition to the basics (keys, phone, wallet) I’ve also loaded it up with my laptop, a book, a Tupperware lunch, noise-cancelling headphones and a pouch of makeup for touchups throughout the day…and still had room for more.”

“Silky” and “luxurious” don’t even begin to describe this sheet set made of soft and sustainable Tencel Lyocell material created from eucalyptus wood. Why else would it have hundreds of 5-star reviews? If you're a sweaty sleeper who tends to overheat at night, this set may be your answer. It includes a flat and fitted sheet, along with up to two pillowcases that are as lightweight and cooling as they come.
