Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale handbags + Accessories to shop

Weekend Bag: A travel bag that's truly WORTH. THE. HYPE. This tote is multi-functional and a bag you’ll be reaching for every trip. Organization's super easy to achieve with this bag while also having room for everything (no really, they thought of everything with this bag). Places for your laptop, dirty clothes, exterior pockets, crossbody strap, and something to set it on top of luggage — this bag is so great I used it as my hospital bag when I had Bobby earlier this year! Grab it for 25% OFF while you can.
Pink Suitcase: I was STOKED to get this suitcase at such a crazy good deal and in that true bright barbiecore pink!! I literally ALMOST bought one that looks just like this for HUNDREDS of dollars a couple months ago. This one is on sale for $159 (such a steal!) and this brand has crazy good reviews from Nordy shoppers! ALSO…when Neil was picking this up for me to take to the car, one of the women working there said, “Oh that is so smart. I used to be a flight attendant and it’s so much harder to spot your luggage when it’s in a sea of black. Great choice.”
Black Convertible Crossbody Bag: I’ve had a nearly identical version of this bag for a year now and I LOVE IT. It totally has a designer look to it (I think it looks like this YSL bag!) but instead of $2,750 it’s $166.99 (reg: $278)!! Rebecca Minkoff is such a classic designer too, this bag will not go out of style anytime soon and you’ll be able to wear it for years.
Leather Tote: Speaking of classic – this bag has been in rotation in my wardrobe for YEARS now. It’s such a good grab-and-go tote and I love that this year’s NSale version has the prettiest pink and white wide cross-body strap! $124 now, $188 after the sale.
Animal Print Backpack: I’m obsessed with the entire Cheetah line from Herschel this year in the sale, but who can beat a $23 practically weightless packable duffel for when you have souvenirs you need to pack home after a great vacay?! I couldn’t resist!!
Medium Tote Bag: This tote bag has been on my mental wishlist for a v long time and I bought it thinking it was part of the NSale and oops! It wasn’t. Haha. So if you like it here’s the link. If not, just ignore me. (and no, I’m not returning!!!)

PS speaking of — if there’s something you LOVE and want that’s not part of the sale, if you’re a card member and activating a double-points day, get whatever else you’ll be getting soon too so you double up on points! And that bag really was an accidental non-NSale purchase, but I’m not mad about it.
Pillow Crossbody Bag: If you ARE looking for a sweet deal on a Marc Jacobs bag, this one was definitely catching my eye over and over too! It’s giving LV Coussin with that chain but without the $5k price tag.
Affordable Crossbody Bag: This bag is one of THE BEST steals of the entire Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!! She’s a cute little hold your card, keys and lipgloss kinda bag and comes in 4 very versatile colors.
Straw Tote: Have that family beach trip coming up that you’re still shopping for?! Grab this fun straw tote that makes the cutest accessory for any summer outfit! With a major 41% off savings on this bag, you can’t find a better price for this size of an open-weave tote.
Aviator Sunglasses: These are THE HIGHEST RATED of all the accessories, not just sunnies (that too), but accessory in the entire Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! And at $49.99 and over 1k rave reviews, you won’t regret this purchase.
Apple Watch Bracelet Watchband: I bought last year’s version of this apple watch band and I LOVE IT. I get compliments on it all the time and it makes my apple watch dressy but I get to keep the functionality of my apple watch!
Wide Gold Ring: I used to have a similar ring to this and I LOVED it, but it tarnished pretty quick so I’m hopeful that this one will last a lot longer!! It has great reviews and I’m waiting for it to come in the mail. I’ll update this once it comes.
Splurge Sunnies: This was my favorite splurge of the Anniversary Sale this year. I love nicer sunglasses. I know some people swear by ONLY cheapies, but I feel like my nicer sunnies are so light on my face (if you buy the right ones!!) and they do the job of protecting your eyes from the sun and your head from a headache so much better than my cute yet cheap sunglasses. I really baby my nicer sunglasses and I know a classic style like this will last FOREVER.
