Best Under $100: The 20 Things You Have to Buy at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

I recently joked with a friend about early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and how I was disappointed that I couldn't purchase some Steve Madden mules without first getting a Nordstrom credit card. "You should tweet at them," the friend suggested. "@holamanda DON'T BE CHEAP!" Is likely how they would respond. (Fully kidding. I've browsed their Twitter account and have found their customer serve represenatives to be very respectful. But shame on me for my cheapness.)

But never fear! If you're like me and are itching at the chance to get some of Nordstrom's best deals without getting a new piece of plastic, I've rounded up the best deals under $100 that are availble to the masses as of TODAY. You're welcome.

Let there be light! If you didn't grab inexpensive lamps during Amazon Prime Day, now's your chance to snatch some chic new bedside lighting. There are quite a few JAlexander lamps for sale, but we only have eyes for this hammered brass version. The picture might be a little deceiving if you don't want something too vertical: This lamp is only 11-inches, so it's the perfect addition to your bedroom decor withour overpowering your other pieces.

Whether you use it as additional seating, a footrest, or even as a coffee table replacement, your home needs a simple pouf. Forget the Moroccan-inspired poufs that can dry out your bank account, though, and stick with a simple cotton version that you won't feel guilty about actually using.

The one thing we love about a big sale: snagging as many sheets, pillows, and more bedding than we even need. Nice sheets can be freaking expensive, man! So we're fully in love with the white lattice comforter of our dreams—and the queen version is just under $100. *Insert heart eyes emoji.*

Yes, it's barely mid-July, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take advantage of a mega sale to get your cold-weather must haves. We're calling it now, but faux fur is going to be the must-have textile for jackets this fall. (And maybe I'm only saying that because I have a millennial pink faux fur jacket from J. Crew that I need an excuse to wear more often but whatever! This jacket is too fun not to buy.)

We love Kate Spade for two reasons: They go over the top with their patterns or they keep it chic and simple with basic colors and shapes. This wallet is the later, in simple black and amaretto in a basic rectangular shape. It's equipped with an interior zipper pocket to carry coins and other must-haves, and 10 credit card slots for your plastics. (Except not a Nordstrom card, apparently!) Even better: the basic wallet has a pop of color and pattern on the inside with a floral pattern in shdes of pinks and whites.

May we suggest snatching these booties before they're gone? The barely there 1 3/4-inch heel means they'll be plenty comfy to walk in, and the dark maroon will be a nice change of pace from plain black booties. (These come in maroon, black, and tan. Haven't we mentioned that we fans of buying multiples in different colors?)
