It’s that time again, people. Every year, Nordstrom rolls out deals and value sets you can only find at the retailer. This year, there’s also loungewear, activewear and cozy home items to help upgrade your stay-at-home life. As for us, we’re drooling over the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 beauty deals, which include best-selling and new products from some of our favorite brands. These include La Mer, Le Labo, Dr. Barbara Sturm, Tom Ford, Charlotte Tillbury and Beautybio—to name a few. When you can start to shop depends on your Nordy Club Cardmember status. Allow us to break it down.

The Nordstrom Anniversary sale officially runs from July 12 through August 8. Nordy Club Cardmembers shop early. If you’re Icon status, you can start shopping first, on July 12. Ambassadors shop July 14, Influencers on July 16 and Insiders on July 28. It’s a lot like Sephora’s VIB sale in terms of cardmember status and date of shopping. Items do sell out so if you have your eye on something specific, mark your calendar and jump online to secure your item.

This sale is a bit different from other Nordstrom sales—at least beauty-wise. Items aren’t all discounted (some are!) but it’s more all about the value. You’ll get an extra product or two, a larger size or a two-for-one. Since discounts have started for some card members, we rounded up some of our favorites. There are dozens of sets and items to choose from—but we helped get you started with a handful.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Gizelle Bryant’s Black Printed Bodysuit

Real Housewives of Potomac Season 6 Episode 4 Fashion

Gizelle Bryant is debuting a new confessional look for us on tonight’s episode. It features a very fun printed bodysuit and a nice pair of statement earrings. Despite what Karen Huger some people say I think Gizelle’s outfit game is strong. And that goes for this look too! It’s sold out so obviously I’m not alone in thinking it’s cute. And I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking the Style Stealers below are also cute and def worth a look.

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

No matter how many TikTok followers you have—10 or 10,000—it’s pretty fun to sit in front of a makeup mirror and walk through your routine out loud like you’re in a Vogue Beauty Secrets video. Just me? So whether you’re on your way to becoming a beauty influencer or just need a vanity mirror, let me suggest Riki Loves Riki’s Riki Skinny 10X Lighted Mirror. And it just happens to be a whopping $80 off during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale.

If you’re familiar with Nordstrom’s big blowout, you know the beauty deals are a bit different than the regular sale. You normally get a jumbo size, two-for-one product or free gift instead of a typical percentage off. But not this LED mirror. It’s approximately 40 percent off but only until the sale is over. Then it goes back up to $210.

I have the Riki Skinny 10X Lighted Mirror but the silver version—not this gorgeous rose gold that’s also available. My favorite part of the mirror is that it’s incredibly lightweight so you can actually travel with it. Plus, it comes with a magnetic phone clip and 10X magnifying mirror. That way, I can see every little hair when I pluck my brows, as well as create hands-free TikTok videos. Yup, you can connect your phone’s Bluetooth with ease.

On the main mirror, there’s five-stage dimming and 3X magnification, an adjustable stand and a rechargeable battery so you can move it around your room. It also makes a great gift for someone heading off to college or just got a new job. Just don’t wait because we know Nordstrom sale goods sell out—fast.

There’s a tract of wooded land not far from my son’s old high school. I find it simply magical. Right on the edge of the suburbs, it offers deep forest, limestone cliffs, ferns, moss, lichen and forest creatures.

It’s large enough so you no longer hear the hum of leaf blowers, lawn mowers and all the background noise of suburban life. And it’s large enough to get lost.

Once, I had to phone my husband at work to ask him to look at the map online and guide me back to my car. I’ve been going there for years, in every season, which says a lot in upstate New York.

At one time, when I was meditating, a great horned owl flew over to watch. If forest spirits exist, they congregate here.

Big Loss

Two years ago, the owner shut it down. He had let the locals use it for as long as anyone could remember as it couldn’t be developed because of the limestone cliffs.

But times had changed. Rumor was that he had a gun-carrying relative patrolling the premises. There were new bright neon signs everywhere, warning that there would be consequences for trespassing.

I felt like I had lost a dear friend. Sure, there were other nature trails, but none was like this one. Not with the velvety mosses hanging off the limestone cliffs, and the variety of bird song. Nothing came close.

Part of Me

I had so much history here. Parts of my life were embedded in the landscape. I came when I was raw and needed comfort, as well as when I was happy and just wanted to trot through the woods, my Jack Russell charging in front.

It was always here for me, just like a dear friend. It was reliably spectacular and offered a reprieve from living in a world that felt more and more broken. It was the balm for my frayed spirit.

An Unexpected Gift

I can’t remember how I first heard that the land had been purchased by a local land trust and was open again. The depth of my happiness is hard to put in words.

Yes, I feel a certain delight in finding a beautiful accessory at TJ Maxx, particularly if it’s on the clearance rack. But this was cell deep.

I had a relationship with these woods. I knew where all the trails split, where the cliffs jutted out, ferns springing out of the cracks. The old stone walls. The silence. It was a home to me. I had sat under tree limbs waiting out a rain storm, picked my way over icy boulders. Felt protected from fierce winter wind.

This Morning

I returned to the woods this morning. I felt the anticipation of meeting a dear, old friend at the airport. There was dog strangle vine everywhere due to lack of use. And many more chipmunks than years ago.

The waterfalls were just a trickle. It was an emotional reunion with these woods that have meant so much to me over the years.

Author Florence Williams shows why our brains and spirits love nature. I’ve experienced the benefits she so artfully describes. She talks about some of the surprising science in my interview with her on my podcast, Zestful Aging.

It all makes sense. But there’s also something intangible. I can only describe it as love… and I feel blessed that the feeling stays with me after I have visited these woods.
