Yep, it's that time again: America's go-to shopping spot Nordstrom will be pleasing the masses and back-to-school crowds with its massive anniversary sale starting this Friday. Make no mistake, this is no clearance sale—we're talking brand-new fall merch with seriously slashed price tags.

From July 19th to August 4th, score major deals on both cult cool and classic brands in every department, from Rag & Bone and Diane Von Furstenberg in apparel, Rebecca Minkoff and Vince Camuto in bags, Dolce Vita and Stuart Weitzman over in shoes (which will no doubt be a must-visit), and Elizabeth and James in accessories, just to name a few. Men's deal highlights include sleek suits by Boss, plus fancy and casual footwear by Salvatore Ferragamo, Sperry Top-Sider and other designers.

In addition, select Nordstrom stores will holding Beauty Bash events this Friday or Saturday. Customers will be treated to complimentary makeup touch-ups, expert tips and tricks and exclusive goodie bags at the retailer's beauty counters. LA and OC locations that'll be hosting festivities include The Grove and South Coast Plaza on July 19th from 5pm to 8pm; see a complete list of happenings at Nordstrom's site here.
