    There are a lot of strategies for shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Some people take it as an opportunity to try something new, but I see it as the chance to stock up on items I’ve already tried and loved, or at the very least I imagine will make my life significantly easier. Here are seven of those items.

    Unseen Sunscreen Jumbo + Go Set $78 Value

    Supergoop!® Unseen Sunscreen Jumbo + Go Set (Was $78)
    $52 AT NORDSTROM

    I can’t say enough good things about Supergoop sunscreen. The clear formulation is perfect for women of color (no weird white film) and its application is a breeze. I carry it in just about every summer bag and have even bought it for my boyfriend to wear on his long bike rides around the city.

    Bliss Perfection Underwire Contour Bra

    Natori Bliss Perfection Underwire Contour Bra (Was $70)
    $46 AT NORDSTROM

    Natori makes some of my favorite bras across a wide range of sizing. As someone with a small band and larger cup size I can always turn to them for a cute option that won’t break my budget.

    Le Pliage Expandable Recycled Nylon Tote

    Longchamp Le Pliage Expandable Recycled Nylon Tote (Was $230)
    $172 AT NORDSTROM

    If you’re like me and have a habit of shopping and treating yourself to little treats while you’re traveling, I highly recommend packing this expandable Longchamp bag just in case luggage overage charges may be on the horizon.

    Lab Created Diamond Pavé Huggie Hoop Earrings

    Monica Vinader Lab Created Diamond Pavé Huggie Hoop Earrings (Was $395)
    $264 AT NORDSTROM

    I have 12 piercings spread across my two ears and tiny diamond hoops are always a part of my earscape. Low lift, high impact styling.

    Ripped Baggy Dad Jeans

    Levi's® Ripped Baggy Dad Jeans (Was $108)
    $72 AT NORDSTROM

    Big pants and a tiny top has become my M.O. for weekends and nights out with friends. I’d pair these jeans with a tube top or spaghetti strap tank for a full early aughts inspired look.

    Assorted 6-Pack Originals Ankle Socks

    Bombas Assorted 6-Pack Originals Ankle Socks (Was $86)
    $57 AT NORDSTROM

    Socks are simply an item I don’t love spending a ton of money on. But I’ve loved Bombas since they launched years and years ago and wear them on a daily basis and also for working out, so these are worth it. They’re incredibly comfortable and I never get blisters while wearing them.

    Fay 54mm Gradient Cat Eye Sunglasses

    Kate Spade New York Fay 54mm Gradient Cat Eye Sunglasses (Was $165)
    $110 AT NORDSTROM

    I have fairly sensitive eyes so I’m rarely without a pair of sunglasses. These Kate Spade New York options look designer but aren’t so expensive that I’d be gutted if I lost them.
