Guys! “Public Access” to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts today at 12:30 p.m. EST/11:30 a.m. CST, and there are so many awesome in-stock products to shop. Above is what I think you shouldn’t miss, and below is my complete guide to shopping the sale. :)

Some favorites:

Caslon Hooded Cardigan: Oops. Forgot to include it in the above graphic. #winning ;) But it’s a favorite that I’ve owned for a few years. It’s super soft as well, and I love that it cinches around the waist. Size down; it runs large.

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings: Get these! I feel like Tuckernuck made the faux leather legging look “preppy,” and I’m here for it. Both the Spanx and Commando pairs are awesome–insanely comfortable!–and you really can’t go wrong with either. The Spanx feature a longer fit and the Commando are ankle cut. (With Spanx, I did go up a size. I tried up to a large and honestly they all looked good–and about the same! So don’t stress too much about the size. They’re magic pants, haha.)

Red Longchamp: This sells out SO quickly every year so if you’re interested, I would purchase asap. The tote itself is amazing, too, and I love how awesome the red looks paired with navy stripes. When zippered, it looks just the original Le Pliage, but unzip and you have a MUCH bigger bag. This is fabulous for the girl who can never get her stuff back into her suitcase at the end of a trip. ;) Seriously: Why does this always happen to me?! I need expandable luggage, too.

AG High-Waisted Skinny Jeans: I’m not the biggest high-waisted fan, but these were actually comfy on me. I went up one size. I love the amount of stretch that AG puts into their jeans. It’s just enough to make ’em super soft and comfy but not too much that they’ll lose their shape throughout the day. Bottom line: you can’t go wrong with any of the AG pairs that are included this year!

Barbour Violet Coat: I tried on all the Barbour coats, and this one is my favorite! It features a similar cut to the classic Beadnell, but it has a beautiful floral lining that provides extra warmth and coziness, which is something the original does not have! I LOVE it. My biggest complaint with the classic Beadnell is that it isn’t the warmest. But so excited that I’ll be able to wear this one throughout the entirety of the fall! If you’re planning on buying this coat, note that it runs a little small. I’m wearing a U.S. 4 here (which is my normal Barbour size), but I think if there had been a U.S. 6 available, I would have gone with that. (See all Anniversary Sale Barbour products here.)

Wrap Dress: I just ordered this for my work trip to New York next week! I think it’s something I’ll be able to re-wear and re-wear. A classic, for sure!

Bobbi Brown Lipstick: The only lipstick I wear! It somehow punches up my look while still appearing natural.

T3 Curling Wand: The best curling iron to have ever existed. You’ll get those incredible curl-waves and they WON’T FALL OUT.

Cole Haan bootie: Again, I’m obsessed with Cole Haan shoes because they’re so well-made and they’re extremely padded/comfortable without looking it. ;) My old brown booties are destroyed so these were a must for me! So.Comfortable.

The Ponte Leggings You NEED: Leggings that are thick enough so you can wear ’em to work. I love mine! TTS.

Side button sweater: My favorite sweater from the sale! The buttons down the arm are just too cute. It also comes in cashmere. I’m wearing a size XS here so I’d say it runs large and long.

Cozy Fleece Twist Top: Get this! I’ve had mine for years and it’s one of the softest articles of clothing in my closet. :) A great lounge/weekend top. It runs large. Size down.

AG Prima Ankle Skinny Jean: Took these home with me a couple of days ago! They’re so cute, they feature just the right amount of stretch, and they’re perfect for weekends and/or “mommying.” I also love that they’re skinny but not skin-tight. They run TTS. Shop all Anniversary Sale AG jeans here.

The Super-Flattering Polka Dot Dress: I can’t lie: At the moment, dresses don’t look great on me postpartum, but BOY is it (finally) hot here in Chicago and I need a few that fit. This one really looked nice when I went up a size. (I wish it was an inch or two longer, but beggars can’t be choosers. 😉)
