If you’re looking for a weekend pick-me-up, a little shopping could certainly be the answer. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 (which kicked off on earlier this month) is still running strong—but time’s ticking. The sale wraps on August 3, which means you have about 48 hours left before the discounts turn back into full-priced pumpkins. Naturally, Vogue editors have been keeping a close eye on the best deals, curating their own wish lists for the sale. Consider this your insider guide to all the best finds in bestselling beauty and designer fashion.
Vogue Editors’ Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 Picks:
From savings on a brand-new pair of kitten heels to a breezy summer dress to round out your seasonal capsule wardrobe, our list covers a lot of ground. (The sneaker sale is especially prolific: From Adidas to Nike to Rag & Bone, we’re seeing so many great retro-inspired styles.) You’ll have to move quickly if you want to get in on these discounts: Designer deals at Nordstrom tend to sell out fast, and we’re predicting these picks from Manolo Blahnik, Róhe, and more won’t last the weekend. Looking to re-stock your medicine cabinet? Our list includes plenty of beauty deals and luxe skincare, too, including makeup essentials and travel-sized kits to stock up on before your next vacation.
Read on to find out exactly what pieces Vogue’s editors are snapping up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 before it officially wraps this weekend.
Talia Abbas, associate shopping director
“Like clockwork, the mileage accrued on my running sneakers peaks every six months. I alternate between pairs from On and New Balance, they are my favorite for long-distance road runs. I feel similarly as our senior beauty writer, Kiana Murden, that the best deals during the Anniversary Sale are to be found in the virtual beauty aisles. Between all the La Mer and Oribe sets, it’s looking a lot like Christmas in July.”
Kiana Murden, senior beauty commerce writer
“I might be biased, but the beauty deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale are always the best! Take this Dior set, with a serum, cream, and lotion packed away in a plush travel bag—a $219 value for just $160! J’adore! YSL Beauty’s lip duo is just as desirable, for any makeup lover like myself.
When things are on sale, I can’t help but do a bit of personal shopping too; I recently moved, and in the spirit of hosting more, Le Creuset’s dutch oven is a need. I also want a non-white sneaker, and love the Adidas SL 72 style—perhaps paired with a summery dress.”
Katie Henwood, audience development associate director
“After years of trying several different denim brands and many shapes, cuts, and crops, I have finally found my go-to brand for all of my jeans: Agolde. This pair is perfectly baggy and features a v-waist cut for a fun twist. It’s on sale and at the top of my shopping list! ”
Elly Leavitt, shopping lifestyle editor
“It took some filtering, but I found a handful of great basics in the Nordstrom sale—from summer skincare saviors like Osea’s body scrub and a comprehensive sunscreen kit to Nike’s low-profile sneakers that work equally well with poplin skirts as they do jeans. I’m also in the market for some new sheets, and Parachute’s lightweight organic cotton set seems perfect for New York’s heatwave.”
Libby Jane Page, shopping executive director
“American Love Story has me scrolling through all my favorite Caroline Bessette Kennedy pieces I wish I could purchase; her wardrobe remains one of the most iconic of all time and she was a Manolo woman through and through.”
Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
“I’ve been borrowing my roommate’s Béis carry-on for over a year now, and at this point I think I use it more than her. Despite Bella’s undying generosity, it’s probably time for me to get my own! I’m also trying to be more gentle with my hair. This super soft towel cuts down on mechanical damage caused by rough fabrics, and this hair dryer is just too good—it cuts styling time in half, and my arms don’t feel like I just had an intense workout. Finally, if pro makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez loves something, I simply must try it too; she recommended these liquid blushes, which are perfect for creating blurred yet bold flushed cheeks.”
Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty and wellness editor
“I’ve long admired Erdem’s ultra-feminine with an edge designs. This dress is airy and floaty but still pretty and pink—just how I want to dress in the heat of summer.”

“The other day while I was walking home in my go-to pair of platforms, my left shoe broke; the platform just… detached from the upper part of the sandal. I am still reeling from what was a rather humbling wobble home, and also mourning the loss of those shoes, but I’ll feel better when I have a new pair like these.”
