Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Public Access is live tonight at 12 am PST! Are you staying up for it? If you’ve been waiting for the sale to open to the public, and plotting your plan of attack, now’s your time! I have seen a PDF of the Public Access restocks and it’s a 15 page PDF. Besides those 15 pages of certain restocks, there will also be constant pop-backs of items being returned, so do not fret if an item you’ve been after hasn’t restocked with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Public Access. Make sure to check out all my try-ons if you need guidance on certain items – here – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Keep the items you’ve been waiting for pop-backs bookmarked and keep checking for them! I was able to get the Mother Jeans I tried on yesterday in my size this afternoon with a restock, and I had already checked for restocks earlier in the day. I have a lone fit review from this sale that I forgot to add to the sweater reviews so I’m adding it as a bonus to the bottom of this post.
I took a deep dive into the analytics on The Sweat Edit since the sale went live for early access on July 12, and these are the items that The Sweat Edit community has been most interested in.

The Bonus Review
Helmut Lang Distressed Sheer Cashmere Sweater
I loved the look of this sweater online which is why I used it as my banner on the first day of the sale. It’s sheer, and it’s very pricey so it’s not something I would buy but I was so interested in how a cashmere sweater could be distressed without it being fragile. It’s actually not fragile at all as the tattered edges on the hem are faux distressing and just embellishments added to the sweater. The online image shows cuts into the hem but it’s actually dangling ‘unraveled’ threads that aren’t really unraveled. I think at one point there may have been two slightly different versions of this sweater online. This pink is so bright and fun and really makes a statement. I think this would be great over a white cami. It’s long, but I think I had it pulled down when it’s meant to be scrunched around the middle and slightly twisted. The sleeves are oversized and drapey and this sweater is overall super comfortable and soft. I’d wear this in a heartbeat, but it’s pricey for a statement, non-investment sweater. I just love how feminine and edgy it is.

I love that Helmut Lang sweater on you. Those are my favorite pieces to watch for markdowns in October or so. And that Veronica Beard jacket. Swoon. I love it.
It’s so cool isn’t it? I’m definitely going to look for it in October or January. I don’t think it sold well since there where lots in Seattle, and lots of stock online.
I now remember why I prefer shopping at Saks online – they absorb the duty for shipping to Canada. I was up early and had a pair of the Vince sneakers in Port in my cart, but with Borderfree adding $55 in duties & tax, the final price was $242 CDN! I bought the black ones for $65 less in store here – I cannot justify that price difference.
I didn’t know that about Saks!
Yes borderfree sucks. I never use it. Call a Canadian Nordstrom store and they can check stock for those shoes across all Canadian stores, and they will ship for free across Canada.
Saks has done that ever since they opened their Canadian stores – sometimes it works out to be cheaper than buying in store here, even with the exchange rate. That said, the website says it is “a limited time offer”, which gives them the freedom to take it away at any time I guess.
Canada only got the black and white Vince sneakers. One of the employees checked whether the Port was available at any other Canadian stores for me on the first day of early access. She was super helpful and offered to have them sent to me, but alas, they weren’t, so no Port shoes for me (at least not yet).
Do they ever restock for the sale? I feel like everything is sold out already and its only the first day.
Yes, keep looking because returns pop-back constantly. Also, they did restock a lot of the items but not everything.
I agree. I bookmarked all the ones I had missed out on and NONE of those items have fully restocked. UGH
Damn, did more damage than I planned to! The barefoot dreams circle cardigan went out of stock immediately, but I grabbed the Vince sneakers in the cream/white color and cannot wait to wear them! I went TTS since I’m an 8.5 but sometimes a 9, we’ll see if they work! I also grabbed a cute cotton blazer for $40, and a beautiful gray Levi’s oversize trucker jacket with sherpa lining. The Levi’s jacket will be perfect for our SF summer gloom!
I think you will love the sneakers. They are such a staple and I can’t believe I had nothing like them in my closet already.
Hello Cristina I know prior to the sale you did some previous lingerie/bra favorites. I was wondering if you checked out the offerings for this sale. Any insight? You have mentioned Chantelle bras in the past. All of my t shirt bras seem to have died at once so I am in the market for new ones! Thanks for your help!
Hi! I recommend these from the sale: If you are larger busted – Chantelle I don’t own that one but I’ve tried it on and love it. It’s not lined though so if you want a lined smooth tshirt bra the other Chantelle is great,or this one. This is another amazing t shirt bra from Natori. I was wanting to try this Natori bra out but didn’t get a chance to.Not sure on fit for that last one.
Thank you that is terrific!
Hi Christina just wanted to thank you again for all your help and advice. I called my closest Nordstrom 3 hours away and got the barefoot dreams circle cardigan! ( and ordered another for my sister for Xmas) They were so amazing on the phone. I would have given up if you hadn’t responded when I posted my “ whining post”? so this was Friday and I got it yesterday and wore it today. I am in love ??? ended up going with the carbon coloured one as the light one was already sold out. I also applied for and was approved for a Norstrom visa so I can get early access next year. ( I would have got lighter cardigan if I had early access so next year for sure!)
I wanted the barefoot dreams lounge pants as well but they don’t carry them in cad stores.?? I can order online but the borderfree is outrageous and no anniversary sale price!
Hi! Yay! I’m so glad you got one and got one from a Canadian store. So many people don’t know that you can just call a store and get free shipping. It’s such a fantastic service. I can’t wait till Nordstrom is big enough here in Canada to carry the entire product line of the nordstrom anniversary sale, and have a proper online distribution. I’d like them to have the exact same sale dates, and same products for Canada. I wanted the sweaty betty sweat pants I saw in Seattle and held out for the Vancouver sale, but the Canadian stores don’t carry sweaty betty at all. I should have just picked it up in Seattle. With the exchange rate it would have been the same amount anyways. The sweater is so great. I got one for my mom since she’s been coveting mine since I got one last year. Whenever she comes over she tells me how cold she is so I direct her to my closet to take her pick. Its always the same sweater.
