The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially here—and unlike most sales, this one isn’t just clearing out summer leftovers. It’s your chance to score next season’s best sellers before they hit full price. Right now, Nordy Club Icons, Ambassadors and Influencers get Early Access, with everyone else able to shop starting July 12 at 12:01 a.m. ET. And while the Dyson Airwraps and Vince cardigans get all the hype, I went deep into the deals to find under-$100 items that are actually worth it. Think: a Longchamp cosmetics case ($115; $86) that doubles as a mini bag, an UGG throw ($58; $38) I’ll be dragging from bed to couch until spring or a pair of ultra-chic Ray-Bans ($151; $100) that give Celine and Miu Miu vibes—minus the $400+ price tag

So below, find 10 editor-approved fashion and home picks that feel luxe—but won’t torch your budget.

A cosmetics case so chic, it could double as a mini top-handle bag if you’re the kind of person who packs light (teach me your ways). This Nordstrom-exclusive Longchamp is made from smooth, textured faux leather with a water-resistant lining and folds flat when not in use—though let’s be honest, she’ll never be tucked away for long. The slate blue shade feels sophisticated without trying too hard, and the snap-flap top gives it that timeless French-girl finish. It’s the kind of piece that makes you feel put-together, even when your concealer's down to its last swipe.

This is the dress to wear when you have no idea what to wear. It slips on like activewear (because technically, it is), but looks polished enough to pass for dinner plans or a post-Pilates oat milk latte run. The stretchy jersey bodice hugs like your favorite tank, while the woven midi skirt floats just enough to feel put-together—even if you pair it with sneakers and haven’t washed your hair. Plus, it has zippered side pockets for your keys and lipgloss—and it’s available in black, grey moonbeam and a soft pink fawn.

Here, a candle set you’ll buy with the intention of gifting—and then accidentally keep for yourself. Inside, you’ll find four dreamy scents: a zesty Mediterranean Lemon, a salty-sweet California Summers blend, a calming French Cade Lavender and a floral-forward Mokara Orchid. Each one burns for around 25 hours with clean coconut wax and zero parabens, sulfates or phthalates. And once they’re done? The glass votives (in layered shades of blue) are so gorgeous, you’ll want to keep them on display long after the last flicker fades.

This is the silhouette I’ve been seeing everywhere lately—on the Celine runway, in Miu Miu ads, perched on the noses of Prada lovers. The slim, early-2000s-inspired oval shape is just big enough to offer real sun coverage without hiding your cheekbones. And unlike the $400+ versions I keep screenshotting, this pair from Ray-Ban is just under $100. Made in Italy with adjustable nose pads, prescription-compatible lenses and a featherlight metal frame, they’re a must-have for anyone who’s been coveting a designer staple (without the spend).

This is the throw you’ll end up dragging from the couch to the bed to your WFH setup and back again. One side is lined in UGG’s signature plush fleece—velvety soft and warm without feeling suffocating—while the other is a quilted faux suede that gives it just enough structure to lay flat (not crumple into a sad pile). It’s generously sized at 50 by 70 inches, fully machine-washable and tumble-dry safe, which is a big deal for something made of fleece and suede. The charcoal shade adds a modern, moody touch—but if you’re going for airy and neutral, the Snow and Himalayan Salt options are just as good.

If you’re looking for a bra that feels like absolutely nothing—this is the one. It’s made from True & Co.’s signature buttery-soft, seam-free fabric that molds to your chest without any wires, elastic or annoying lines under tees. One reviewer raved that it “molds perfectly… no bulging whatsoever,” while another said it’s the only bra she’ll wear while working from home. The convertible straps are a game-changer (you can tighten them into a racerback or wear them straight), and the removable cups give you just enough shape without any push-up drama. Available in multiple colors and true to size, it’s become a go-to for everyone from 34B to 38DD reviewers.

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your stovetop game, this Le Creuset set makes a strong case for retiring your electric kettle. One reviewer called it “the perfect size for two,” noting that the 1.25-quart capacity is just right for back-to-back mugs without hogging counter space. Another pointed out that the 14-ounce mugs “fit well in hand” and give her something to look forward to every morning. The kettle itself is made from enameled carbon steel with a heat-resistant handle and a single-tone whistle when it reaches a rolling boil. Bonus: It’s compatible with all stovetops, dishwasher safe and comes in five timeless colors—Licorice, White, Caribbean, Marseille and Deep Teal.

I don’t think quilted jackets are going anywhere this fall—and I’m not mad about that. This one stands out from the sea of lookalikes thanks to the oversized ruffle-trimmed collar, which adds just the right amount of whimsy to balance the boxy, minimalist shape. Made from 100 percent cotton with a light poly fill, it’s warm enough for early fall but breathable enough to layer. I also love that it hits at the hip for a clean silhouette over denim or wide-leg trousers, and the patch pockets are actually big enough to hold your phone. It comes in three shades—Sand, Olive and Light Cornflower—all of which will work with everything in your closet.

There’s a reason Hydro Flask is the blueprint for all other water bottles. The 32-ounce size holds enough to keep you hydrated through meetings, workouts and your afternoon scroll, while the TempShield™ double-wall insulation keeps water ice cold for hours (or coffee piping hot). The wide mouth is also ice-cube friendly, the leakproof straw lid makes sipping effortless and yes—it’s dishwasher safe. Not to mention that this Nordstrom-exlclusive mocha brown finish is so chic, it almost makes hydration feel like an aesthetic choice.

This cardigan checks every box for winter: it’s cropped (but not too cropped), cozy (without looking droopy) and machine-washable (because who has time for dry cleaning?). The dropped shoulders and thick ribbed cuffs give it that slouchy-luxe fit that pairs just as well with jeans as it does tossed over a slip dress. It’s made from a soft, stretchy poly-spandex blend that feels way more expensive than $49. And the colors? So good. There’s classic Black and White Whisper, plus Brown Soil, Blue Tempest and Red Apple if you want something a little bolder but still easy to style.
