Read on to find out exactly what pieces Vogue's editors are snapping up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 before it officially wraps this weekend.
Talia Abbas, associate shopping director
'Like clockwork, the mileage accrued on my running sneakers peaks every six months. I alternate between pairs from On and New Balance, they are my favorite for long-distance road runs. I feel similarly as our senior beauty writer, Kiana Murden, that the best deals during the Anniversary Sale are to be found in the virtual beauty aisles. Between all the La Mer and Oribe sets, it's looking a lot like Christmas in July.'
Kiana Murden, senior beauty commerce writer
'I might be biased, but the beauty deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale are always the best! Take this Dior set, with a serum, cream, and lotion packed away in a plush travel bag—a $219 value for just $160! J'adore! YSL Beauty's lip duo is just as desirable, for any makeup lover like myself.
When things are on sale, I can't help but do a bit of personal shopping too; I recently moved, and in the spirit of hosting more, Le Creuset's dutch oven is a need. I also want a non-white sneaker, and love the Adidas SL 72 style—perhaps paired with a summery dress.'
Katie Henwood, audience development associate director
'After years of trying several different denim brands and many shapes, cuts, and crops, I have finally found my go-to brand for all of my jeans: Agolde. This pair is perfectly baggy and features a v-waist cut for a fun twist. It's on sale and at the top of my shopping list! '
Elly Leavitt, shopping lifestyle editor
'It took some filtering, but I found a handful of great basics in the Nordstrom sale—from summer skincare saviors like Osea's body scrub and a comprehensive sunscreen kit to Nike's low-profile sneakers that work equally well with poplin skirts as they do jeans. I'm also in the market for some new sheets, and Parachute's lightweight organic cotton set seems perfect for New York's heatwave.'
Libby Jane Page, shopping executive director
'American Love Story has me scrolling through all my favorite Caroline Bessette Kennedy pieces I wish I could purchase; her wardrobe remains one of the most iconic of all time and she was a Manolo woman through and through.'
Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
'I've been borrowing my roommate's Béis carry-on for over a year now, and at this point I think I use it more than her. Despite Bella's undying generosity, it's probably time for me to get my own! I'm also trying to be more gentle with my hair. This super soft towel cuts down on mechanical damage caused by rough fabrics, and this hair dryer is just too good—it cuts styling time in half, and my arms don't feel like I just had an intense workout. Finally, if pro makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez loves something, I simply must try it too; she recommended these liquid blushes, which are perfect for creating blurred yet bold flushed cheeks.'
Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty and wellness editor
'I've long admired Erdem's ultra-feminine with an edge designs. This dress is airy and floaty but still pretty and pink—just how I want to dress in the heat of summer.'
Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director
'The other day while I was walking home in my go-to pair of platforms, my left shoe broke; the platform just... detached from the upper part of the sandal. I am still reeling from what was a rather humbling wobble home, and also mourning the loss of those shoes, but I'll feel better when I have a new pair like these.'

Elvis biographer sets record straight about Colonel Tom Parker in hefty tome
The popular perception of Colonel Tom Parker is that he chiseled Elvis Presley out of a lot of money, forced his participation in some really bad 1960s movies and ensured Presley's late-career servitude to Las Vegas with a gambling addiction to match the King's own drug habit. But this is not the story Peter Guralnick looks to tell in his mammoth new book, 'The Colonel and the King: Tom Parker, Elvis Presley, and the Partnership that Rocked the World.' The book is long on the 'Colonel,' a moniker Parker claimed as his first name after the governor of Louisiana gave him the honorary title in 1948, and short on the King, who, after all, has been the subject of countless previous volumes. Some of the best were actually written by Guralnick, including 'Last Train to Memphis' and 'Careless Whispers.' Few writers know more about early rock 'n' roll and roots music, or have such passion for the subject. If you haven't read Guralnick, you should make a point to. Does that mean you should read 'The Colonel and the King?' Only if you deeply seek a comprehensive study of Elvis' longtime manager, who, it must be said, led a fascinating life defined by self-mythology and willful deception. Guralnick knew Parker from 1988 until his death in 1997, and you get the feeling the author saw his subject also as a friend. The book isn't hagiography, because Guralnick does so much research and reporting for every book that he's incapable of writing a one-sided account of any subject. That said, 'The Colonel and the King' often reads like a Parker apologia, or at least a concentrated effort to set some records straight. For instance, there's Parker's oft-reported reluctance to let Elvis tour internationally near the end of his career, for the reason that Parker wasn't a U.S. citizen and therefore didn't have a passport. 'The subject of much uninformed speculation,' Guralnick writes, suggesting other reasons. 'How could Elvis go to Japan, with its strict drug laws, how could he pass through all the customs stations he would have to clear in Europe if it were not to be a single small-country tour, without his prescribed medications? And who was going to carry those medications for him?' Parker's background as a carnival worker is often used to deride him. How could a mere carny know about the music business, or qualify him to steward the king of rock 'n' roll? But the liveliest and most revealing parts of 'The Colonel and the King' actually come before the Colonel meets the King, as Guralnick paints a picture of a tireless hustler desperate to reinvent himself. Parker long claimed that he was born Thomas Andrew Parker in West Virginia. In fact, he was born Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk in Breda, Holland. As a boy, he went by 'Dries.' His father was a liveryman and retired soldier. When young Dries fell in with a family circus and taught his father's horses to do tricks, his dad roared that the kid 'was no son of his, that he would never amount to anything, and, after beating him to within an inch of his life, announced that he would be banned from having anything to do with the stables.' As a teen, Parker smuggled himself to the U.S., got sent back, then made the trek again, this time successfully. He developed a habit of being unofficially adopted by surrogate families and then disappearing without a trace, a pattern that continued when he joined the U.S. Army, went AWOL and eventually received an honorable discharge in 1933, with a certificate of disability that cited reasons of 'Psychic Psychogenic Depression' (Parker claimed he was discharged for having a bad leg). He eventually ended up in Florida, where he became a jack-of-all-trades carny and developed a sharp instinct for advance publicity and promotion. Read more: Looking back at the 1968 TV special that made Elvis Presley matter again Elvis wasn't Parker's first music client; he developed his chops first with early pop superstar Gene Austin, then country star Hank Snow. But when Parker first witnessed Elvis and Elvis mania at the Louisiana Hayride in 1955, he was determined to manage him. Then it was on to selling him, cunningly and ferociously, to RCA, 20th Century Fox and whoever else would help build the mighty Elvis industry. 'The Colonel and the King' is a hunk of a book, weighing in at 624 pages. That includes about 250 pages of annotated letters to and from the Colonel, which might have been better used, in truncated form, spread throughout the narrative proper. You also get the sense that perhaps the author was rather quick to take Parker for his word, considering Parker himself once joked that he was writing an autobiography called 'The Benevolent Con Man.' One can admire Guralnick's thoroughness and sense of mission while also wishing for tighter results. I found the arc of Parker's story quite intriguing, even as I got a little tired of it.

Elon Musk Shares Shockingly Sexist Tweet About Woman Being Property
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has a message for the women of the world that's disgraceful even by his dumpster-tier standards: that they're designed to be captured or bartered as property. In a bizarre exchange on X-formerly-Twitter, Musk replied to a post by Morgonn McMichael, an anti-LGBTQ influencer with ties to far-right groups. "Why do liberal white women hate white people so much?" McMichael asked, gaining over millions of impressions that can lead to huge payouts thanks to Musk's new policies. "They've been programmed to do so by their teachers and the media," the world's richest man drooled in response. It's the kind of hard-hitting insight Musk has come to be known for since he took over the platform back in October of 2022. But a response to Musk's brilliant missive — and the tech tycoon's response — is what really raised eyebrows. "Women are built to be traded to another tribe (or captured) and slide seamlessly into their new culture," wrote Dr. Insensitive Jerk, an anonymous account known for spouting eugenicist, anti-democracy, and racist takes on X. "20 years after they are captured, they are the matriarchs who enforce that culture. That is why women conform to the dominant culture, and thereby amplify that culture," the poster continues. "They think that keeps them safe, and they are correct, but only in the sort term. In the long term, they will be forced to remember they are white." "Better they are reminded of that by white men, because the alternative is not so gentle," Dr. Insensitive concluded. Musk, never one to shy away from reactionary drivel, reposted the vile screed, boosting it to his 223 million followers. It'd be a shocking outburst at any moment, but feels particularly striking given the renewed attention on the relationship between Musk and other elites and the disgraced sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. Of course, his moves drew some criticism — as well as plenty of support on X, which under Musk's ownership has rapidly become a safe space for pretty much every genre of reprehensible hate speech under the Sun. "Retweeted by the man who has been divorced three times, pretty sure you're not the tribe," quipped on user. However prominently their half-baked ideas appear on his platform, the tech mogul and his fellow travelers might benefit from a history lesson. For decades, scholars studying the historical development of women in society have broadly agreed that gender roles are determined by social, economic, and historical conditions; women aren't "built to be traded" any more than men are built to be chattel slaves. Going back centuries, in fact, scholars have found that primitive peoples customarily practiced marriage not for personal gain, but for the collective benefit of the tribe. It wasn't until the early days of class-based society — where social standing is decided by wealth, income, and occupation — that men began to view women as inferior, leading to the kind of violence that Musk seems to regard as a fact of life. Indeed, it's no coincidence: both slavery and sex trafficking emerged at the same moment in history, a fact Musk and his reactionary followers would do well to wrap their heads around.

Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Responded To Hall Of Fame Joke About Him
Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Responded To Hall Of Fame Joke About Him originally appeared on The Spun. After being the butt of yet another age-related joke at this weekend's Hall of Fame ceremony, Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson is (quietly) clapping back. While accepting the Bill Nunn Memorial Award from the Pro Football Writer's Association on Friday night, longtime Browns reporter Mary Kay Cabot made a quip about the first head coach she ever covered — one William Stephen Belichick — and how he treated her when she would run a story that he didn't approve of. "If Bill didn't like something I wrote, he'd call and yell at me," Mary Kay recalled. "Now I totally understand why Bill game such a hard time. I was 28 [years old] at the time and he just couldn't relate to a woman that old." Earlier today, ProFootballTalk talked about how Cabot got the "last laugh" more than 30 years later. But that's not how one user (or Hudson) saw it. "Not much of a 'laugh,'" an account said, which Hudson reposted on X. "No wonder so many have contempt for the media, especially those who want to be the story rather than [report] on the story." The joke was clearly a jab at Belichick's relationship with the 24-year-old New England native — which has come under fire ever since it went public last June. With Friday's honor, Mary Kay became the second reporter from the Cleveland Plain Dealer to win the award, along with the late Chuck Heaton who worked as a sportswriter at the paper for half a Belichick's Girlfriend Responded To Hall Of Fame Joke About Him first appeared on The Spun on Aug 2, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
