Anyone else planning to pop into their store each day theyre offering the scratch tickets? My office is conveniently (or not so convenient, depending how you look at it lol) 5 mins away from my Nordstrom so I will be popping in Tues, Weds and Thurs for a scratch card, plus on Thursday I plan to be there at 8am for the shopping event for Influencers. I hope my store has a decent amount of stock - I did set the website to "available in store" and some items on my wishlist do still show as available when I do that so I think I'll be able to grab a few things that morning!
Unfortunately, I don't live close by, but I'm going to try to go in for a couple of days besides my early access day. Where do you go to get the scratch tickets? Last year I only got the one on my early access day at the door.

At my store, its on the third floor where order pickup/returns/alterations is located, I just asked them for a scratch ticket and they obliged!
 
Scattered thoughts:

That farm rio top is so nice!! I want! I don’t care for their synthetic materials but the cotton is fab.

Regarding hair bands: I forgot that my sis recently got me some of the lululemon ones and they are the same concept as the slip/blissy ones with slippery (not silk though) fabric to reduce breakage, but they are much less stretchy and hold their shape. Probably because they’re designed for working out. I love them (like if I can’t find my park bench one).

I need sunglasses. Any thoughts or recs? My requirements are: no nose cushion thingies cause they get stuck in my hair, thin side things (the things that go over your ears why do I have no idea what these are called?), and interesting in some way (color/shape).

I am an influencer this year, which is exactly what I should be based on spending, but it’s unfamiliar territory after randomly and undeservedly being an ambassador for years and years. I am kind of looking forward to A. Seeing what yall get for the two days before I shop to build excitement, and B. Spending less due to the stuff I want being sold out, and C. Getting to do lots of stalking because of said stuff being sold out, which is part of what makes the fun last for two weeks.

Yeehaw!!!
 
Been working on my list for more than a week with daily changes. I finally perhaps have it down to my 2 lists of things to order at midnight on the 8th. I am horrible at attaching pics of stuff so will just verbally hit the highlights:

Allsaints Ryder oxblood
Allsaints Dalby black/gold
Allsaints denim shirt/shacket/jacket
Cinq a sept jean pants indigo
Cinq a sept dress black multi
Cinq a sept sleeveless top black multi
Cinq a sept 2 skirts, mulberry and nutmeg
Lagence blazer syrah pink multi
Rag and bone navy/cream cardigan
Rag and bone olive green cardigan
Reiss olive green cardigan
Reiss burgundy lace up top
Reiss sleeveless blue top
Frame jeans
Frame shorts
Rails olive jaguar shirt
Rails denim skirt
Rails topanga studded top jeans
Rails boucle jacket in ivory
Tiffany sunglasses
Ysl sunglasses
Ray ban sunglasses
Mother jeans
Ag jeans
Sam edelman boucle cost in ivory
Vince camuto cape sweater in antique white
Karl lagerfeld faux fur jacket white with black stripes(my husband is obsessed with me getting this for some reason so we will see what is looks like)
Nordstrom brown coffee animal cardigan

I need absolutely no shoes, handbags, jewelry or even beauty this go around. Well, technically I dont need any more clothes either, but i love purging the closet for our church charity sale in June and adding new things to the closet in July.

I order these with expedited shipping for faster service. Then the morning of the 8th, my niece and I will go in person to the Tysons Corner store in VA and shop all morning with my Tysons associate. Then we head over to Montgomery Mall in Bethesda MD after lunch to shop over there with my MM associate. That way if the items I want are not in store, I still get them. If i can find it in store I buy it from the associate to get them the commission and return the online order. We have done it this way for years, my SA’s know i order things online and they encourage me to do so. My SA’s know each other and that I shop at 2 stores. It works out great for all 3 of us. Tysons has stuff MM doesn't have and MM has stuff Tysons doesnt have.

Yaaaaas!! Amazing list. Amazing plan. I (we) expect a full report to end your very full Tuesday!
 
I recall in the past that the sizes/availability status was totally inaccurate until the sale started. Chin up!
This also is a problem with the Wishlist option because you can't add your item in the size you want if its sold out, which totally defeats the point if you're hoping to track restocks!

Such as this boot - sold out in my size and it can only be added to my Wishlist in the wrong size.:huh: Does anyone know of a hack to enable sold out items to be added to your wishlist?

This is one of Nordstroms biggest flaws! I have added the wrong size to my wishlist just to be able to click on it to go to the product page and see if my size is available.

Totally missed the Rails items in the sale. That olive jaguar shirt is wonderful and now on my wish list. Since I'm an influencer, it'll probably be gone by the time I can shop, but hey I can dream. And this is why I like this thread - finding items I would have missed.

I bet you can do this the first day of the sale even if you’re not an icon because all of the sizes should be available right? You just can’t purchase it until it’s your turn.

When I asked a Nordstrom employee about this, they said most items are not re-stocked when sale opens. It's only when the returns come in that the items are restocked.

Isn’t it cute! I usually get a Rails shirt every year and that is one I definitely don’t have. I know it sounds cliche, but keep checking the website if it is sold out in your size. Last year I got the Allsaints Ryder in a 2 but it ran large, so I really needed an 0. All sold out. I checked multiple times a day every day and checked in store whenever I returned something and near the last day of the whole sale it popped up, i got it and it was perfect. Also, if you are close enough to a store to visit a few times, check there. I cant tell you how many times I saw sold out items on the rack at my store all during the sale when the website showed none available. A lot of times the returns end up on the store racks before they enter the computer system.
I am mindful to return all of my ‘fails’ the day i get them or the day after. In this case I will make all of my returns Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th. I like to return them as fast as possible to give other people the chance to get them. But I am lucky enough to be able to jump on the highway and be at my local store in 10 minutes.
