The time has come for the 2011 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This is definitely the best, and most highly anticipated, Nordstrom sale of the year. Two distinguishing features set this sale apart. First, this sale is all about great deals on just released Fall merchandise -- you get it on sale before it's ever even available at retail price. And second, the Anniversary Sale is known for exclusive beauty gift sets and special sizes that are only available during the sale. So much fun to be had.
This year's Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts on July 15, 2011, and runs through the end of the month. Prices go up on August 1. As with any big, well-publicized sale, you're better off shopping early as the most in-demand items tend to sell out first.So, what will be the big score at this year's Anniversary Sale? It's always a bit of a guess, but there are a few items that look like particularly great deals. The new Michael Kors Blair mother-of-pearl face watches in silver, gold, and rose gold colored metal are a sure bet -- they're just $166, marked down from $250. The Trina Turk Ponte Knit Boot Skirt will be a go-to item all during fall and winter and will be on sale for $129, marked down from $198.
If beauty deals are more your thing, there's plenty to see. A huge Estee Lauder GWP worth $135 is yours free with any $35 Estee Lauder purchase, and a Lancome GWP worth $110 is yours free with a $39.50 Lancome purchase. A yearly favorite, Kiehl's super sized pump bottles are back: Amino Acid Shampoo and Creme de Corps body lotion.
Finally, what might be the star of the Anniversary Sale -- the Hunter Kellen Wedge Rain Boot just $99, regularly priced at $175.
