35% Off True & Co Triangle Lace Racerback Bralette
"I cannot say enough good things about this bra. It's comfortable, supportive, and doesn't show under tank tops. Run, don't walk!" —Sam Baker, VP Commerce & Partnerships

True & Co True Body Triangle Lace Racerback Bralette, $, available at Nordstrom
24% Off Fellow Corvo EKG Electric Kettle
"As R29’s resident tea fanatic, I take my hot water very seriously. I already own a retro-inspired Smeg kettle, but I have my eyes on Fellow’s Corovo model to add to my appliance œuvre. Unlike most electric kettles, the Fellow model can be programmed to maintain a consistently drinkable warm temperature. (This is a big deal for me since I drink eight to 10 cups a day.) Plus, it’s insanely chic." —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate

Fellow Corvo EKG Electric Kettle, $, available at Nordstrom
20% Off Olaplex No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner
"Quite frankly, I was shocked when one of my Black colleagues said she swore by Olaplex. I knew the brand's products worked wonders for straight hair, but that actually made me less inclined to use them on my natural hair. Alas, I see some extravagant hair dying in my future, and I'll need an arsenal of moisturizing products to keep my 'fro alive — therefore Olaplex is earning a spot in my Anniversary Sale cart this year." —Alexandra Polk, Affiliate Market Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance™ Conditioner, $, available at Nordstrom
34% Off Zella Live In Pocket Joggers
"Joggers make my WFH world go round — you can go to the store, get comfy on the couch, and pretty much do any activity you please as soon as you pop them. It never hurts to invest in a pair of the versatile (and top-rated) sweats." —Alexandra Polk, Affiliate Market Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Zella Live In Pocket Joggers, $, available at Nordstrom
30% Off Caslon Miller Boots
"I'm using this sale as an opportunity to score some really good deals on high-quality fall staples and this rain-proof pair is going to help me hit my boot quota. I was never one for Chelsea-style boots but, with the rugged brand's treatment, these puppies make for an understated take on the trend that I am loving — especially with an under-$100 price attached." —Elizabeth Buxton, Senior Affiliate Director
Shop Nordstrom
Nordstrom Miller 2 Water Resistant Boot, $, available at Nordstrom
34% Off SPANX Faux Leather Legging
"This heat wave might have you forgetting that fall is right around the corner, but before you know it, you'll be breaking out the fall 'fits. IMO, nothing elevates more than faux leather leggings. They're equal parts comfortable and stylish, and best of all: $30 off during the Anniversary Sale." —Sam Baker, VP Commerce & Partnerships
Shop Nordstrom
SPANX Faux Leather Leggings, $, available at Nordstrom
29% Off Vacay Future Uptown 28-Inch Spinner Suitcase
"I've had the same rolling suitcase for about 10 years, and one of its wheels is hanging on by a thread. I figure instead of risking disaster every time I travel, I should probably replace the old thing asap. This sleek option by Vacay has great reviews, many organizational pockets, and 360-degree spinning wheels!" —Kate Spencer, Affiliate Strategist
Shop Nordstrom
Vacay Future Uptown 28-Inch Spinner Suitcase, $, available at Nordstrom
30% Off Necessaire The Body Wash Duo Set
"You may notice that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is all about value sets — and, Necessaire's Body Wash Duo is definitely one to watch. My skin-care regimen only focuses on the face at the moment. Perhaps it's time I give my whole body some attention, especially now that this bestselling set is 30% off?" —Alexandra Polk, Affiliate Market Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Nécessaire The Body Wash Duo Set, $, available at Nordstrom
33% Off MINI+ Starter Kit
"One-hundred sixty-five dollars for a NuFace starter kit is easily among the best deals on the internet right now. I personally swear by microcurrent to help de-puff and tone my facial muscles (it also just feels nice), so to anyone who hasn't yet experienced the wonders of the NuFace yet, now's your chance!" —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate
Shop Nordstrom
NuFACE MINI+® Starter Kit, $, available at Nordstrom
35% Off Sigma Beauty All About Face Makeup Brush Trio Set
"If neglecting your makeup brushes was illegal then...I'd be writing this from jail. I think it's time I retire some of my ragged beauty tools and score this Sigma set while it's 35% off. I remember these brushes being the MVP of 2010s beauty guru youtube so I'm (albeit a decade late) excited to investigate the hype." —Alexandra Polk, Affiliate Market Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Sigma Beauty All About Face Makeup Brush Trio Set, $, available at Nordstrom
32% Off Ugg Discoquette Genuine Shearling Slide
"Who doesn’t need some comfy slippers? These UGG ones look like you’ll be walking on clouds with every step. I love that the bottom looks like it has good grip and enough height, so you won’t be slipping around everywhere on smooth floors. " —Mercedes Viera, Associate Deals Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Ugg Discoquette Genuine Shearling Slide, $, available at Nordstrom
34% Off Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF Set
"Unseen Sunscreen has a cult following for a reason: it doesn't break out skin, feel greasy, or cause white cast. I'm sold." —Alexandra Polk, Affiliate Market Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Supergoop! Unseen & Play Sunscreen SPF 50 Set, $, available at Nordstrom
33% Off Oribe Texturizing Spray Duo Set
"If I could only use two styling products on my hair — you’re looking at ’em. Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray is the definitive cool hair in a can, and I only need a tiny spritz or two to add texture and movement to my lob. As if that wasn't good enough, the pack also comes with my favorite dry shampoo: It’s super-lightweight, so there’s no residue — just refreshed roots. I should also add, both of these products smell absolutely divine, so I like to use them as hair perfume, too." —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate
Shop Nordstrom
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray Duo Set, $, available at Nordstrom
22% Off New Balance 574 Sneaker
"Full disclosure, I won't be adding these lovely sneakers to my cart this year because...I already own two pairs. But I couldn't not add them to this roundup — they complement all kinds of outfits, feel like clouds, and last a super-long time. If it wasn't obvious I totally recommend." —Alexandra Polk, Affiliate Market Writer
Shop Nordstrom
New Balance 574 Sneaker, $, available at Nordstrom
24% Off Hanky Panky Original Rise Lace Thong
"I never thought I could love thongs until I tried Hanky Panky’s. These are as comfortable as they are cute, and I would buy one in every color if my wallet permitted. Each pair is made from what I can only imagine is the world’s softest lace, and while they’re still a splurge, $18 each is as thrifty as it gets." —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate
Shop Nordstrom
Hanky Panky Original Rise Lace Thong, $, available at Nordstrom
33% Off Sam Edelman Lemon Loafer Mule
"I have yet to commit to a pair of oxfords that I like. Sadly, I missed that crucial timing last fall and winter. However, I'm not letting anything stop me this year. Hence, in the meantime, I'm eyeing these mules from Sam Edelman, which give off the preppy vibe — like oxfords — that I adore but are breathable for summer." —Vivien Lee, Affiliate Fashion Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Sam Edelman Lennon Loafer Mule, $, available at Nordstrom
34% Off Viking Hard Anodized Nonstick Pans
"I have only one (very heavy) frying pan that I just ruined, so now seems like the right time to reinvest in this some smaller more convenient set." —Kate Spencer, Affiliate Strategist
Shop Nordstrom
Viking Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Inch & 12-Inch Fry Pans, $, available at Nordstrom
25% Off Nike Air VaporMax Plus Sneaker
"I can't tell if these are ugly or cool, but I'm extremely interested nonetheless." —Kate Spencer, Affiliate Strategist
Shop Nike
Nike Air VaporMax Plus Sneaker, $, available at Nordstrom
20% Off Halogen
"Don't mind me as I start prepping for transitional pieces. While the model in the picture demonstrates that knee-high boots would look stunning for fall, I'm left thinking of all the other items to add to spice it up. First, I need this mini plaid dress as the foundation for it all. Also, the price? Impeccable. *Adds to cart*" —Vivien Lee, Affiliate Fashion Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Halogen Mod Windowpane Plaid Long Sleeve Dress, $, available at Nordstrom
34% Off Ray-Ban New Wayfarer 52mm Sunglasses
“I do not sleep on a 34%-off Ray-Ban deal — especially when 100%-UV-protective lenses are involved. These very classic rectangular frames are going to be my go-to pair for fall; I’m envisioning jeans-white-tee-and-blazer-with-boot lewks for days.” —Elizabeth Buxton, Senior Affiliate Director
Shop Nordstrom
Ray-Ban New Wayfarer 52mm Sunglasses, $, available at Nordstrom
14% Off Boy Smells Purple Kush Candle
"Seems like everyone and their mother has heard of Boy Smells candles. I first came across the brand when writing a 420 weed candle round-up and included the infamous Kush candle. So, for the Anniversary Sale I want to get my hands on this Purple Kush candle to compare. There is, of course, one big difference: This one is 14% off." —Alexandra Polk, Lifestyle Market Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Boy Smells Purple Kush Scented Candle, $, available at Nordstrom
33% Off Levi's Ribcage Straight Leg Jeans
"Levi’s are my denim brand of choice. I usually go for the wedgie fit, but this style will look great with boots in the fall." —Kate Spencer, Affiliate Strategist
Shop Nordstrom
Levi's Ribcage Ripped Ankle Straight Leg Jeans, $, available at Nordstrom
33% Off Teva Universal Sandal
"I borrowed my friend's pair of Tevas at the beach a few weeks ago, and they've been on my mind ever since. They were so comfy and perfect for walking through the sand. I'm not a flip-flop girlie, but I have to admit that my sneakers get way too hot in this weather. So I'm taking the plunge and carting these while they're still available for 33% off, and summer is in full swing."—Alexandra Polk, Affiliate Market Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Teva Universal Sandal, $, available at Nordstrom
30% Off Walk The Line Stay All Day Eyeliner Duo Set
"One for you, one for a friend…or two for you — honestly, no judgment here. Stila’s liquid eyeliner pen is a bestseller for a reason. The pigment is an inky, satiny black, and the tip is as precise as it gets. I love to use it to create everything from a subtle wing to a dramatic cat-eye. And getting them for $19 each is definitely not a bad deal!" — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer, Affiliate
Shop Nordstrom
Stila Walk The Line Stay All Day® Eyeliner Duo Set, $, available at Nordstrom
33% Off Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase & Skinny Scrunchie Set
"Silk pillowcases have truly changed my life. My skin has gotten smoother with much fewer breakouts even on my period. My hair is curlier, softer, and less frizzy. When I go on vacation now, I know my skin and hair are gonna look less than stellar without my silk pillowcase. It’s truly a must-have." –Mercedes Viera, Associate Deals Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase & Skinny Scrunchie Set, $, available at Nordstrom
30% Off Diptyque 4-Piece Candle Gift Set
"Sure, Boy Smells may be the hipper competitor here but, at the end of The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale day, I'm just a classic Diptyque girl — and these things are expensive. So, you better believe I'm gonna scoop up a set of four at an exclusive value price! It's truly hard to beat the quality of scent you get from this brand AND, even when they do burn out, the glass votives can be repurposed as chic lil' change collectors or jewelry dishes." —Elizabeth Buxton, Senior Affiliate Director
Shop Nordstrom
Diptyque 4-Piece Candle Gift Set, $, available at Nordstrom
24% Off Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Face Oil
"One of my all-time favorite Kiehl’s products, the Midnight Recovery Concentrate is amazing. It feels heavenly, not too greasy, and absorbs right away into the skin. The scent is also immediately relaxing, making it an integral part of my nighttime routine. Plus, when you wake up, your face is simply glowing. Highly recommend." —Mercedes Viera, Associate Deals Writer
Shop Nordstrom
Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Face Oil, $, available at Nordstrom
32% Off CozyChic Ultra Light Open Front Cardigan
"I know what you're thinking: do we really need another Barefoot Dreams cardigan? My simple answer: yes. It looks good with sweats; it looks good with white tees and jeans. I don't know who the geniuses are behind the 'CozyChic' material but it is cozy, indeed, my friends. (Wearing one is like draping a whipped cream-filled crepe over your shoulders.) I cannot resist it." —Elizabeth Buxton, Deputy Director
Shop Nordstrom
BAREFOOT DREAMS® CozyChic Lite® Circle Cardigan, $, available at Nordstrom
45% Off St. Tropez Jumbo Self Tan Bronzing Mousse
"I have reached an age where I am no longer willing to risk wrinkles for a tan — and that’s where this value-priced St. Tropez comes into play. I’ve been using this brand’s self-tanner since my school days and it’s still my trusted favorite for a streak-free, subtle glow that many mistake for the real deal.” —Elizabeth Buxton, Senior Affiliate Director
Shop Nordstrom
St. Tropez Jumbo Self Tan Bronzing Mousse, $, available at Nordstrom

40% Off L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream Set
