How I chose the best (and brightest!) Nordstrom sale deals

When selecting my fave deals to share with HELLO! readers in this edit, I considered:

  • The joy factor: Fun and gorgeous pieces for your wardrobe and home were my top priority.
  • Price: I’ve only included buys that are under $50 on sale.
  • Popularity: Based on the last few seasons, I know what brands and items HELLO! readers want to shop most. 
  • Availability and stock: There’s nothing worse than trying to shop something only to find it’s sold out, so I’ve looked for items that have lots of size, color, or model options in stock.

When are the Nordstrom sales?

I’m happy to say you can find great deals at Nordstrom year round, but there a few other exclusive discount periods that you’ll want to know about:

  • Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale: The lowest clearance prices, with even deeper discounts on items that are already on sale.
  • Nordstrom Anniversary sale: BIG discounts on new arrivals. This famed sale is so popular because it has discounts on brand-new items for a limited time.
  • Black Friday sale: This deal extravaganza, held annually the day after Thanksgiving, runs through Cyber Monday.

What’s Nordstrom’s shipping policy?

Nordstrom is famous for its customer service – you can have same-day pickup (in store or curbside) and almost anything can be shipped within the USA for free (yes, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, too!)

Nordstrom has international shipping, too, but it’s done through global e-commerce provider Borderfree. The process is integrated into the Nordstrom site, though, so you’ll see prices and your final total in your country’s currency.

Why you should trust me

After five years on the HELLO! Online shopping team and over a decade writing about fashion – celebrity and otherwise – I’ve come full circle as an expert in Nordstrom shopping .

As a Washington State native, I grew up with Nordstrom as one of my dream department stores, with its high-end style and awe-inducing department store layout. (For a little bit of Nordys history, the first-ever Nordstrom was located at 1st & Pike in Seattle, although it launched in 1901, a little bit before my time.)

And now I’m lucky enough to browse the virtual racks for a living! I have a eye out not only for what’s a great Nordys deal but also what our readers are looking to add to their wardrobes.
