The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened to the public on July 18, and according to a press release, this year’s edition features the “largest assortment to date,” including 50 new brands participating for the first time. Want to take advantage of the savings event before it ends this weekend? Whether you’re refreshing your summer wardrobe or looking ahead to fall, Shop TODAY contributor Chassie Post recently stopped by Studio 1A to share the latest fashion and beauty finds worth adding to cart.
For Nordstrom’s 125th anniversary, you can expect to see many of your favorite brands with some pretty impressive markdowns. Case in point: Post spotted a beauty exclusive set from Lancôme, plus Dr. Scholl’s sneakers for 35% off. The retailer’s private-label lines are also ones to watch — from a cozy crewneck sweater that’s perfectly oversized to sparkly stud earrings that come pre-wrapped in a gift box. And if your jewelry collection could use some organization, you’re going to love Post’s stylish solution. This faux-leather storage box comes in six chic colors, features compartments for all kinds of pieces and is now just 16 bucks.

Ready for the cooler months ahead? Grab Post’s cozy, oversized pick and get a jumpstart on sweater weather for under $40. Not only is it made from a butter-soft cotton blend that has great stretch, but the longer length hits just below the hip making it super flattering too. You can pair the relaxed silhouette with jeans, leggings, trousers, skirts — you name it. From the classic crewneck style to the ribbed cuffs and hem, this is a closet staple sure to be worn on repeat this fall.
Post credits Dr. Scholl’s for bringing relief to your feet since the 1960s, and these stylish platform sneakers follow suit. With a super-cushy footbed and excellent arch support, these kicks are designed to deliver all-day comfort — now for 35% off. You’ll also love the real leather and suede uppers, plus the chunky platform sole for the perfect amount of lift.
Valued at over $70, this three-piece beauty exclusive is a total steal. We’re getting not one, but two full-sized tubes of Lancôme’s bestselling mascara, along with a travel-sized bottle of the brand’s fan-favorite eye makeup remover. Post raves that the mascara volumizes, lifts and lengthens every lash with no clumps, and that the makeup remover wipes away even waterproof formulas without leaving a greasy residue behind.
If you’re in search of high quality earrings on a budget, look no further than Post’s cubic zirconia pick from Nordstrom. She wears hers constantly, and says they’re perfect for any occasion — from formal events to everyday wear. This classic pair (which has a one-carat total stone weight) is perfect if you prefer lightweight studs, especially now that they’re over 30% off.
Sparkly studs will always look timeless, and now you can score this larger pair for under $35. The facets are secured with a three-prong setting, and you can pick from either a 14K gold or platinum plate. The earrings ship in a gift box, per the brand, so it’s not a bad time to stock up on presents while they’re over 30% off.

Need a sock refresh? Your feet are going to thank you for taking advantage of these Bombas deals.

T-shirts can often be too slouchy or too tight, but this relaxed fit is just right. Not only that, but Post loves that the longer length offers a bit more coverage whether you’re wearing it out to lunch, at the gym or just around the house. Available in four neutral colors, you might want to grab one of each while the crewneck from Nordstrom’s own line is 37% off. Not to mention, it’s a great layering piece once fall rolls around!
