Absolutely thrilled to receive my Michele watch! I’ve been wanting one for a while and I couldn’t believe that the exact model that I wanted was on sale! I saved $1100! You better believe I was awake and pressing the refresh button on my app as soon as they allowed Ambassadors access. Good thing I did because they were sold out by the next morning.
It originally appeared to ship standard but this morning I got a phone call and email from customer service and they had upgraded shipping and added FedEx for me to sign for it. I was grateful for that. So it just got delivered!
I used double points so I’ll get to buy a little something else with my Notes too! Overall, a great buy!
Beautiful
 
I received my first Nordstrom order today (influencer status). I bought the Rains Bomber Jacket in Navy (the only color available on sale) in both medium and small sizes. The jacket runs slightly large. I usually wear a medium, and the small fits well. The website states the jacket is water-resistant; however, the lady in the video said it is waterproof. I'm keeping the small since it’s a stylish alternative that can be dressed up or down, unlike typical puffy, lightweight down jackets (nothing against those, just a more fashionable option).
 
I just got the shipping notification for the order I placed Wednesday at midnight (influencer status). All of the 8 items I ordered are shipping, even though 6 of the items have been shown as out of stock for at least a day now. Just wanted to give hope to anyone whose order hasn't shipped yet. Now I just have one item that I'm stalking. I haven't seen any pop backs for it yet, so fingers crossed it comes back in the next few days!
 
Right as access opened for my tier, I checked out with this Frame dress. I stalked and failed to get it the correct size last year (needed to size down to an XXS for this one, because lil boulders). Only 2 were left and it was so great when the order did ship! Unfortunately, there's something weird going on with one of the arm holes and fabric sticks out a bit. Wondering if this year's XXSs were wonky leftover/returns from last year since all other sizes are still available. It might be able to be fixed with a stitch, but still a bummer.
 
I placed an order Wednesday night and I think everything has shipped. I didn’t get much a pair of Ugg boots and slippers, a pair of NYDJ jeans, two treasure and bond dresses (not sure if they will fit), and the true botanicals kit. The really cute moon and stars boots were sold out not a huge loss they would probably be too narrow for me. I also had the treasure and bond dress sell out before I checked out so I grabbed one a size up. I think this might be the second year I did not shop in person.
 
I'm going back to the store today to see what I might have missed, and I need to do a store pick up for a Natori bra (boulder holder, lol). All of my orders from Wednesday have shipped now, no cancellations. Is it my imagination, or is this year's Anniversary sale thread slower, and somewhat lacking a lot of enthusiasm. Personally, I feel the atmosphere/gifts at my store's Ambassador day kick-off was a very disappointing start. I normally look forward to this sale like a big family gathering.
I was just thinking this last night!
I remember having to go through pages of new posts each day. I also admit to posting less this year, but I’m not seeing much to get excited about in the sale.
 
Yes, I was a part of the Great Notes Debacle a few years ago. Personally, I don't focus much on the notes anymore. I'm more concerned about getting my returns in before the cut off for the next statement. I do try to use my double point days when I'm really going to ball out. That doesn't happen a lot anymore.
I'm the same. I use double points whenever I am spending a lot to try to get out of the negative, but it's not a big deal to me. I'm trying to do all my returns before my next statement, which probably comes out on Monday. I picked up an order of six pairs of jeans, but I was all hot and sweaty that I didn't want to try them on, haha. Hopefully, I can return them this weekend after trying on at home int he AC.
 
Has anyone looked at this Caslon textured sweater jacket? Thinking about getting the green. But I think it might be too short. https://www.nordstrom.com/s/textured-sweater-jacket/8124500?color=901&size=x-large
I saw the cream and black ones in store. I thought the cream looked really cute from the back. When I got to the front, the gold buttons were a lot. I don’t know, they looked really bigger and brighter in person. Length looked ok. Short but not overly cropped.

Thanks. I don’t know if I’ll order anything during the sale, but I’m wishlisting items to keep an eye on later. Seems like most stuff goes on deeper discount not even two months after the sale most years.
 
I’m liking what has arrived so far and already worn a few things out.

Steve Madde Lisbeth Mule. So cute and wearable to work or play. I got the black mesh. Will think about getting another color. And I want the more casual looking tan Steve Madden mule as well. Didn’t think I would be buying multiple SM shoes lol.

Rails Floral Cardigan. So cozy and good way to add some fun to my overwhelming black wardrobe.

Shorties will appreciate this Zella hoodie. Oversized look without being baggy.

I think I bought this dress last year, but it was slightly different. My dress has asymmetric stitching and no buttons. This dress is really cute. Too bad it’s wonky.
 
Got these in the mail today and they are probably a return. I really like how they look on, the leather is buttery soft, but for some reason the heel digs into the back of my foot so badly, I'm in pain immediately and my heel was red with a mark after a minute of trying them on. I don't think I can tolerate trying to break them in. I'm sad because otherwise I like them. They also run small, needed a half size up.Screenshot_20250711_212034_Nordstrom.webp
