We Found the 8 Best Deals From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
is the commerce writer at Eater, and an award-winning writer with bylines in GQ, VICE, The Daily Beast, and other publications. A curious home cook with a deep love of Polish cabbage rolls, her devotion to food service journalism knows no bounds. I will always have a soft spot for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I know, I know — it's just a department store. But during the peak mall-culture years, exploring Nordstrom's carpeted halls was one of my first initiations into tastemaking; when I made an annual jeans pilgrimage there with my mom in the 2000s, we exalted every cloched candle and linen throw blanket; we pillaged Brass Plum and the M.A.C. makeup counter, pausing only for communion: the storied grilled cheese and tomato soup combo at the Nordstrom cafe. If I close my eyes, I can still hear the live piano playing a jazz rendition of 'When Doves Cry.' This year's Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is live from now until August 3, so let's waste no time in finding you the perfect charcuterie board. This set of Viking knives is $100 off German-made stainless steel is renowned for its high carbon content and durability, and this set by Viking includes all the essentials: a chef's knife, bread knife, carving knife, utility knife, paring knife, kitchen shears, a sharpening rod, and a set of six steak knives. If you're looking to upgrade from the Dull Knife Drawer life, this set's a steal. Get $46 off this trio of Diptyque candles As a proud devotee of the cult of fancy candles, Diptyque's bougies remain some of my all-time favorites for their chic graphic design and romantic, truly room-filling scents. This trio of its popular Baies (a blackcurrant scent), Figuier (a not-to-sweet fig scent), and Tubéreuse (a heady green floral scent) candles sure would make for a great host gift — but I'm tempted to keep them for myself. This just-down-to-earth-enough serving board is 45% off Leave your heavy-duty garlic mincing to a John Boos cutting board and dedicate this decorative-leaning acacia wood board to serving cheese, prosciutto, and snack foods; it's for those moments when you need to chop something small and don't feel like lugging out a giant cutting board. This expensive-looking set of hammered glasses This set of hand-blown glasses feels like a stateside alternative to the vintage-style glasses from the Paris-based glassblowers at La Soufflerie (no need to pay for exorbitant shipping from Europe), which always make me feel like I'm sipping my beverage of choice on a Mediterranean terrace. This charming Le Creuset kettle and mug set bundle Where was this deal during Mother's Day? No matter. It's always a good time to bring some of Le Creuset's heritage French swag into the kitchen. Save $40 on this set of 9 Viking mixing bowls This set of nine stainless steel bowls includes 1.5-quart, 3-quart, 5-quart, and 8-quart bowls, as well as four lids and strainer. But the winning design feature for me is the non-slip silicone bases, because I always end up sliding steel bowls around the counter during a feverish baking session. Get 29% off this Staub bakeware bundle The French cookware brand's most iconic, deep blue colorway is on sale for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale in the form of a robust bakeware bundle that includes an oven-safe rectangular baking dish, oval baking dish, and a square baking dish with a lid. The double-duty drink dispenser is a perennial must-have You could fill one vessel with iced tea and another with water; one vessel with Four Loko, and another with Celsius. The possibilities are endless. Shop on, my fellow Nordstrom hunter-gatherer — and remember, the sale only lasts for about two more weeks.

Happy Birthday: A Soft Spoken Prince Said Just Enough In This List Of His Most Memorable Moments
Happy Birthday to the legendary musician, Prince! Fans remember the icon for his unforgettable music, style and presence. Prince was a no-nonsense type of man, and he made sure those in close proximity to him understood that. He created some of the most memorable interviews and moments throughout his career, because he remained unapologetically himself no matter the environment. It is truly hard to forget the influence Prince had on the music industry. The record-breaking artist responsible for hits like Purple Rain and When Doves Cry passed on April 16, 2016. Before his passing, the musician created over 30 albums and won seven Grammy Awards throughout his 40-year career. Prince was supposed to be every child's father according to every Black mom across the world. He had a sex appeal that women simply could not resist. We strongly believe his demeanor and flair added to women's desires for the extremely gifted musician. Prince simply was the moment. Though Prince remained a mystery until he left us in the physical world, he was always prepared to share exactly how he felt when he was good and ready. In celebration of Prince's birthday, we collected some of his most memorable moments to reminisce on his unforgettable personality. Happy Birthday: A Soft Spoken Prince Said Just Enough In This List Of His Most Memorable Moments was originally published on 1. Guitar Solos, Interviews & More Source:Loudwire In this video series, Prince showcases a number of guitar solos.

Many Musical Accomplishments Source:cnn Prince accomplished so much within music from being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to his unbelievable performance at the Super Bowl. The man is truly an icon! 3. Little To No Press Source:Access Hollywood Prince didn't stop for the press too often, but Access Hollywood shared some of their favorite moments when he did consider speaking. He often refused to answer certain questions, but in this series of clips he discusses his relationship with his wife, why the media can be detrimental to the psyche and some of his song's inspiration. 4. Prince's First Motion Picture Source:movie clips classic trailers Purple Rain, the film, debuted in 1984 and it's timeless. Prince The movie description is that of a young man with a talent for music, played by Prince, has begun a career with much promise. He meets an aspiring singer, Apollonia (Apollonia Kotero), and finds that talent alone isn't all that he needs. A complicated tale of repeating his father's self destructive behavior, losing Apollonia to another singer (Morris Day), and his coming to grips with his own connection to other people ensues. Today's the perfect day to watch this classic. 5. Prince Was A Character Source:JazzMJFAN This fan created a video of clips from interviews and appearances where Prince is his most genuine self. Though he was soft spoken and said very little beyond the music, Prince was sure to say exactly what he wanted to in each moment.
