Read on to find out exactly what pieces Vogue’s editors are snapping up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025.
Talia Abbas, associate shopping director
“Like clockwork, the mileage accrued on my running sneakers peaks every six months or so—I can quite literally feel in my lower back when it’s time to switch out. 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, does that the beauty deals at Nordstrom are the best during the Anniversary Sale. Case in point, there’s La Mer and Oribe in my cart. If not now, when?”
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. And on hair, I go through so many bottles of the Roz conditioner so I am adding its value size to cart ASAP. Perhaps I’ll store some of these in Longchamp’s Le Pliage cosmetics pouch for travel days? Sounds like a win to me!”
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 Nécessaire’s lotion for moisturizing after the sun 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 commuter duffle 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.”
