Things I Purchased from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale That Weren’t Makeup
Have you shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year? I shopped last week and was a little surprised to find that most of my purchases were not beauty related! It’s not because I’m not in beauty mode because lord knows I’m always in beauty mode. I think it’s because the sale just wasn’t that great and hasn’t been that great for a very long time in regards to beauty exclusives, sets, and new beauty items!
But I did find other things to love.
Here’s 15 items I purchased that weren’t makeup!
Anthropologie Happy Plaid Throw Blanket $44
Fun fact about me. Half of my downstate home is filled with Anthropologie Home items. Furniture, decor, a lot of came from Anthropologie Home. I’m a huge fan of Anthropologie. The fragrances, the accessories, the home decor, the clothes, I dunno I just love everything they do. Anyway, I have one of their older plaid throws that lives on a comfy chair in our bedroom near the window. I love to curl up in the chair, cover myself, and read a book. I decided to buy two of these cream throws for my outdoor patio furniture upstate. I decided I’d throw them across the chairs when we sit by the fire on cooler Fall nights! I love how they lay! You can sort of toss them across the chair and they lay just right every time in a picture perfect way! Plus they soft and warm!
Cubic Zirconia Ear Crawlers $22
I purchased a pair of these crawlers last year and got SOOOO many compliments. They aren’t huge crawlers that go all the way up the ear but they do hug the entire lobe. It’s a really nice look! I sadly lost one last year after a night of clubbing (which I’m far too old for but it happens from time to time when your gay best friend needs a wing man) and for some reason I never replaced them. I was happy to see them pop back up as a recommendation when I was shopping the sale last week and quickly popped a pair in my cart. If you want a nice elegant earring these are quite lovely!
Tory Burch Circle Logo Stud Earrings $46
I am ever always guilty of being a matchy matchy kind of girl! I have a really beautiful pair of Tory Burch sunglasses and I decided to purchase this Tory emblem earrings to go along with them. I wasn’t sure it would work and I was concerned it would look too flashy but they actually really compliment the glasses beautifully! The price isn’t bad at all either!
Smeg Rose Gold 50s Retro Style Two-Slice Toaster $171
This was a horribly indulgent purchase. I’ve seen Smeg toasters splashed all across Instagram for far to long and really needed one. Sadly, it does not match my French Farmhouse design in my kitchen downstate nor my Modern Farmhouse Kitchen upstate but guys, it’s rose gold….! EEP! This might be a return but right now I’m telling it everyday how pretty it is even though it isn’t technically toasting my toast just yet.
Luigi Bormioli 5-Piece Mixology Set $32
I don’t drink and this set of glass pouring spouts was made for a bar but I actually purchased them to put my flavored olive oils in. The spouts are plastic which was disappointing but they do clean up easily due to that. The different colored oils in the glass really look quite nicely!
Serene House Ultrasonic Cool Mist Aromatherapy Diffuser $25
I’m starting to get in oil diffusing! I typically do candles or wax melts both of which I’m obsessed with! But recently I purchased an Aromatech and I wanted something a smaller for our bedroom. I’m sort of obsessed with this whole diffusing thing! I got some delicious oils from ScottsdaleWholeSale on Etsy and got a Praline and a Cafe Au Lait one from a NOLA seller on Etsy and they smell soooo amazing! This little diffuser was perfect for the bedroom as it scents the whole area perfectly!
Bliss Plush Throw $24
Oh god here I go with the throws again! But can we have too many? People, I still have like five Lambie Blankets! If you know, you know! This Bliss Plush was prob my best purchase yet! I’m going to toss it on the settee at the end of our bed. I think it’ll look great with some of my seasonal pillows!
Deny Designs Citrus Fresh Framed Wall Art $28
As you may know when Summer rolls in my kitchen undergoes an under revamp and all my lemon decor comes out! Lemon curtains, lemon dishes, lemons, lemons, lemons everywhere! I also happen to be the weirdest person in the world in the fact I switch around art I hang in my kitchen for the season! This cute citrus-y piece is hanging on wall by my fridge at the moment and goes great with all my lemon kitchen decor. Sad sign but it won’t be around long as soon I’ll be changing over to Pumpkin Spice decor 🙂
Tory Burch The Miller Leather Strap Watch $129
I have a pretty pair of Tory Burch pink ballet flats I haven’t yet broken out of the box and now is a good a time as any to get them out for some Fall looks and pair them up with this cute watch I snagged up! The band goes perfectly with the flats!
Tory Burch Carson Convertible Leather Crossbody Bag $299
Sadly, Tory got all my monies this haul! Haha! I’m loving this classic crossbody bag. It’s simple yet elegant. I was happy that my phone fit easily into it along with my wallet and a few essentials. I tend to go overboard when I pack my purse! This prevents that! I haven’t yet cracked it out yet and it’s still in the box as I plan on using it for Fall! I love it!
Diptyque Set of 5 Travel Size Limited Edition Scented Candles $55
As much as I love Diptyque fragrances I have yet to indulge in their candles outside of the GWPs I get. I know I loved the GWPs so I decided to haul this small set which includes five candle scents. I’m sort of looking forward to when I use them up so I can re-purpose the glass jars to store makeup and brushes in!
