    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.
