These 32 Nordstrom Shoe Deals Made Me Text My Friends "Buy These Right Now"

As the fashion-editor friend in my circle, I often respond to messages in our group chat like "My paycheck just hit. Have you seen any cute shoes?" While we all have our roles in our group of friends, mine is undoubtedly as the one who sends links upon links of cute finds. I mean, it is my job.
Now that the annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is underway and my friends are itching to stock up on the trendiest styles for summer and beyond, I've already compiled a list of the can't-miss deals I've urged my group chat to bookmark before they sell out. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale runs from July 15 through August 4.
