I Went toReplica Store's NYC Flagship to Shop the Anniversary Sale—Here's Everything I Tried and Loved
From basics to beauty.

I've been shopping at Nordstrom since I was a teenager, and over the years, I've watched the retailer's curation get better and better. I still remember how excited I was when I first discovered Space—its in-house boutique spotlighting emerging and advanced designers. It quickly became a reliable source for brand discovery, all in one place.
Another thing I love about the retailer is its annual Anniversary Sale. This year, I decided to go see it in person at the NYC flagship. With seven floors and over 320,000 square feet, I was immediately drawn to the beauty on the first floor as I walked in—in awe of all of the beloved brands, from Rōz to Parfums de Marly to Prada Beauty. As for the fashion, I recommend using this as a chance to get chic basics you can wear on repeat.
Here are the discounted wardrobe staples I tried on and cult-favorite beauty that caught my eye. They're available in-store and online through August 3.
What I Tried On
Hear me out: This polo dress with the contrast trim reminds me of the early 2000s preppy aesthetic that's making a comeback (and was seen at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival). Even beyond that, this piece, to me, feels more refined and timeless—more enduring than trend-driven. I'm picturing it it with Miu Miu satin ballerina flats or kitten heels.
Open Edit's whole focus is on minimalist essentials, so I knew I had to see what it had marked down. The Reformation Casette Dress has been a go-to wedding guest dress for me, and this satin midi feels similar.
This lightweight sweater comes in a long-sleeve version as well.
Beauty Discounts That Caught My Eye
The product description for this eau de parfum and travel spray says, "Lost Cherry mingles black cherry with cherry liqueur accords and a touch of bitter almond, bursting forth in waves of sweet and tart. Opulent floral notes of rose and jasmine sambac blend with an unexpected mélange of sandalwood, vetiver, and cedarwood."
