What to Buy at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

It’s officially Nordstrom Anniversary Sale time here in Canada!

I’m not much of a shopper nowadays, especially now that I’m trying to be more conscious of the environment.

However, when I do shop for any clothes, I typically shop during sales because almost everything goes on sale.

Sale season is a great time to purchase investment pieces for your capsule wardrobe!

While I don’t purchase specifically from ethical and sustainable clothing brands, I do try to only purchase high-quality, long-lasting pieces.

Here are some of my picks for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 for my fellow Canada peeps, including fashion and beauty products!

Be sure to also follow me on Instagram and TikTok – I share a lot more content on those platforms that don’t make it to the blog!
