I'm still picking myself off of the floor from the last sale, which included discounted Gucci. Uh-huh, it was that good. Now, it's time to get ready for the retailer's biggest event of the year: the Anniversary Sale. The discounts won't officially be open to the public until July 20. But if you're a Nordstrom cardholder, you can start shopping July 12. Don't cry if you don't have a Nordstrom card. It's not too late to apply. And if you're thinking you don't need another credit card, you're wrong because the best items always sell out during the pre-sale. Stop wasting time reading this and head to Nordstrom now to apply for the card. And if you're a lucky one who already has one, you can shop our favorite styles below.
