If there's one unofficial holiday our editors look forward to the most each year, it's the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. It only happens twice a year, and it's incredible.
I know sometimes certain sales can feel like the leftovers and aren't actually what you want, but this one couldn't be further from that. For example, how often can you get Balenciaga for 50% off? There are markdowns on Maison Margiela, Tory Burch, Cecilie Bahnsen, Chopova Lowena—the list goes on and on.
As someone who spots trends for a living, I treat this sale like a treasure hunt. I found on-trend capris, Tabis, wedge flip-flops, kitten heels, and emerging designers to know.
With discounts through June 1, I went through hundreds of products to pull what stood out the most. Here's everything that caught my eye.
Justine Clenquet is a favorite among my friends for jewelry.
Halter tops all summer long.
Mesh tops for when it's too hot.
Ray-Bans are back.
Very '90s.
I just love a little mini short when it's warm.
I keep seeing people wearing Vivaia shoes.
I want this Balenciaga card holder.
Fifty percent off this bag?
Okay, this concludes my Balenciaga roundup.
I've been considering these Tory Burch slingbacks for a while now.
Cult-favorite Tabis are everywhere.
So cute.
Hear me out. My co-worker recently wore a pair of Tory Burch flats to the office, and it totally changed my perception of them.
One of the designers I looked forward to seeing the most at London Fashion Week.
These honestly aren't my typical style, but I feel like they'd be so fun for a beach trip.
This Paradise T-shirt is so good.
The loveliest Simone Rocha slip.
Such a versatile dress.
The sweetest Sandy Liang cardigan.
Thirty percent off Proenza Schouler.
And I'll leave you with an aspirational Valentino dress for 40% off. (I cried when I saw the its last haute couture collection because of how inspiring I found it.)
