Best of: Nordstrom anniversary sale

Nordstrom doesn’t have a sale every week. Right now they’re running the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale until August 1st, when all the prices on these items will go back up to full retail. If you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe, here’s my top 3 picks from the sale. Check it.

Ibiza Collection Sportcoat – $199 from $395

A striped cotton blazer that will help you stand out from the crowd. Still expensive at nearly 50% off.

Nudie ‘Slim Jim’ Straight Leg Raw – $119 from $179

Maybe it’s just my (almost sick) obsession with Nudie, but this is some top quality denim that can be had at a regular chain store price.

Clarks Originals Desert Boot - $64 from $100

The original desert boot, in the original color. Suede. Great quality, great price. Goes great with anything casual. Buy it.

Favorite summer shades

Shwood Collection – Ashland ($135)

Want some original shades to wear this summer? Try the Shwood Ashland. Shwood began as a “simple experiment with nature.” Yes. They are made from wood. And yes, they are awesome. Most models are available in Cherry, East Indian Rosewood, and Zebrawood. Here’s a great review from Fat Kids for more details. Check out the complete lineup from Shwood.

Warby Parker – Jasper ($95)

Also, check out new kids on the block Warby Parker - now accepting pre-orders for the sunwear line which will begin shipping July 20th. Warby Parker’s name was inspired by the writings of Jack Kerouac and the company was founded with one goal in mind:

“Warby Parker was founded with a rebellious spirit and a lofty objective: to create boutique-quality, classically crafted eyewear at a revolutionary price point.” – Warby Parker about page
