Every year in July, brand-new on-trend merchandise is brought in to Nordstrom and prices are slashed for two weeks. This is the wonderful event know as the Anniversary Sale and there are shoes, clothing, accessories and beauty products all new for Fall and all marked down between 30% and 40% off. It’s a practice unheard of in Calgary thus far but after this first Anniversary Sale, we are all going to look forward to it every year!
The sale began today, July 17th and from the prices that I checked out and the crazy crowd that I saw shopping, items are going to fly off the shelves. I was able to go before the store opened today and my new friend Kira had a dressing room ready for me along with rows of things to try on. It took me a while but with the help of the other fashionista in the dressing room across from me and my friend, Ryan (AKA I’m Mr. Fabulous) who is ruthless in his critiques, I brought home some key pieces that will feature regularly in my fall wardrobe and beyond.
Bottom line?
1. You should go and go soon.
2.Make sure you shop the kids department for deals on back-to-school clothes and shoes.
3. Take a friend because you will want everything and they can help you decide what is most flattering for your body and most necessary for you closet.
4. If you go on July 18th, there is a Beauty Event happening. Take advantage of all the amazing gifts with purchase and book an appointment the Beauty Stylist. You just might become as addicted as I am.

Shearling and Geometric prints are on-trend for Fall 2015 but are always classics in my books. Also, check out that Rebecca Minkoff bag…how classy is that?
