Oh, hey there. We’re popping in with a very big, very FUN announcement: Nordstrom has released dates for the 2023 Anniversary Sale!

We’ve designed a pretty timeline to give you a visual (check it out below), but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Preview starts July 3*. This is your first chance to get an idea of what the sale has to offer, and the preview is available to all Nordstrom cardholders. Then, Early Access shopping begins July 11 (both in stores and online). Icon cardmembers are the first to shop, but they only have 24 hours of unfettered access to the sale before it opens to Ambassadors, aka the next level of Nordstrom cardholders. Influencers (all cardholders) are able to shop the following day, July 13. And finally, anyone can shop the 2023 sale once public access begins July 17.

*Note: The Early Access Preview starts July 3rd and will remain live until all tiers have shopped the sale!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023 Dates Are Live! Everything You Need To Know

If you’re new to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, welcome! The Mom Edit has been covering this sale for well over a decade now (OMG), and it’s an incredibly special sale edit that we don’t take lightly. Year after year, we do our best to be your source for all things #NSale — from shopping tips to top picks, you’ll be able to find it all over on our Nordstrom Anniversary Sale page. It’s still under construction for 2023, but keep checking back for updates.

So, why is this sale so special? Well, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is unlike any other we cover because it’s a fall presale. These items are brand-new, never-before-seen wardrobe staples, ready to shop for fall 2023. You just need to be a Nordstrom cardholder to shop them first. The sale opens to the public July 17.

What’s New For The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023?

Typically, the Early Access Preview is our first look at the sale each year. The online preview window has replaced the catalogs that used to be mailed out in prior years. We tend to prefer the online preview, and here’s why: It’s the best opportunity to really scour the sale ahead of time (without the pressure of buying something on the spot).

Shana and the rest of our editors like to use this early preview to build their shopping lists, curate capsule wardrobes, and think long and hard about which pieces would work best in our closets.

A quick pro tip: Every year, Shana plans a closet clean-out before the sale. This way she can identify any gaps in her fall/winter wardrobe and scout them out at the sale. We’re also big fans of cost-per-wear, so if you’ve been flirting with the idea of bringing home a new, pricier wardrobe piece, read this.

WHAT BRANDS ARE WORTH SHOPPING AT THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE?

As far as we currently know, Nordstrom is not releasing any brands or sneak peeks prior to the Early Access Preview. From our years of experience, we suspect the following style and beauty brands will be included in the sale, to some extent. These include (but aren’t limited to): Vince, Veronica Beard, Treasure & Bond, Nike, UGG, Barefoot Dreams & Charlotte Tilbury.

We’ve heard whispers that, for the first time EVER, Birkenstocks will be included in this year’s sale (and we wouldn’t hate it). For the latest details, check our Nordstrom Anniversary Sale page as the sale gets closer.

This year, we’re hoping to see more La Ligne cotton sweaters — the #NSale is the only place we’ve seen 100% cotton sweaters from this awesome brand. We’d also love to see a 2023 version of the Veronica Beard Taylor flare jeans. You can see them pictured on S below, but these jeans were a huge hit with the entire team last year.

Nordstrom, are you still listening? Consider this our official request to bring back the P448 Cancun sneakers. According to S, these sneakers feel like orthotics and have a perfect little platform. She tends to ditch every other shoe for these exact sneakers. And as for outerwear, Theory coats tend to steal the show, and they often go quickly. As usual, we’ll be keeping a close eye on all of the outerwear, in general.

And for our Clare V. fans: We’re feeling suspicious of Clare V. in this year’s sale — we want it to be good, but last year’s selection was a little disappointing. The bags weren’t quite the same.

If you’re looking for some true gems at a lower price point, keep an eye on Treasure & Bond sweaters. These were a pleasant surprise at last year’s sale. We’d also love to see Topshop make a resurgence this year. We can always count on them for something fun at a great price.

Pretty, pretty please.

What To Expect From The Mom Edit Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023 Coverage

We approach this sale the same way each year — we keep things HELPFUL. As soon as that preview drops, we’ll be working on our shopping lists and capsule wardrobes. And then, the real fun begins when our selfies start to roll out.

You can expect to see some pieces styled up in-store, but most of our coverage will be at home and will use pieces from our existing wardrobes (it’s important to us that these new pieces fit seamlessly with our existing closets). So rest assured, if you’re seeing us cover a piece in our capsules or selfies posts, it’s worth considering as you shop the sale.

Before selfies start to roll out on the blog, we’re offering special sneak peeks to our newsletter subscribers only. (You guys loved this last year!)
