I Live in L.A. and Just Shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—These Are the Cool Items I'd Wear Daily
It's that time of year again! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is on, and just as we suspected, it's epic. The highly anticipated sale started July 18, and as someone who just scrolled and shopped it, I can confirm this year's deals are good. I'm talking about discounts on everything from chic summer staples to cult-favorite beauty items and even key fall 2026 buys. Yes, you read that right. Brands like Levi's, Reformation, Vince, COS, and Le Labo are included in this year's Anniversary Sale, so the L.A. girl in me simply couldn't resist.
To me, a sale is only worthwhile if the featured items are ones you actually wear in your day-to-day—cost per wear, you know? With closet staples like bootcut jeans, leather jackets, suede bags, and ruched loafers majorly discounted, I'd be remiss not to shop. Ready for a peek inside my shopping cart? Below, I'm highlighting what Los Angeles fashion people are buying from the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The sale ends August 9, so I highly encourage grabbing these before they sell out.
