As someone with several trips planned for the end of summer, I need some new vacation-ready finds. So, I’m turning to Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale to stock up on everything I need, like fashionable basics, must-have beauty essentials, and other travel-friendly picks.

The sale, which started on July 12 and runs through August 3, offers Nordstrom shoppers major discounts on thousands of products, from top-quality LED masks to luxury sneakers (some retailing for less than $50). However, today I'm focusing specifically on the wardrobe basics and essentials you need to keep your travel bag ready for anything that comes up. And as someone who booked a last-minute trip to London a few weeks ago, I know what I'm talking about.

Keep scrolling to shop everything on my must-buy list, like carry-on suitcases by Away, luggage sets perfect for an airport outfit photo opp, chic crossbody bags, and perfume sets from all my favorite luxury fragrance brands that you should keep on hand.

Every expert traveler knows that it's important to look good while traveling. I found retro sneakers from Sam Edelman and chunkier options from New Balance, classic black leggings from the cult-favorite brand Zella, and basic tees from Nordstrom's own line that are so good you should probably pick up a few.

Travel Beauty Deals

I'm the kind of person who always keeps my travel bag packed, even when I'm not on vacation. My essentials include travel-friendly beauty products, multi-use beauty tools, and mini perfumes that I can easily keep on hand (and that help me get through TSA smoothly).

When was the last time you bought a new suitcase? If you can't remember, it might be time for an upgrade. I found options from Béis, Away, Samsonite, and more that look stylish and are actually functional. I also discovered other underrated essentials, like a steamer that keeps your clothes looking fresh.
