BDG Urban Outfitters Faux Leather Aviator Jacket
“While I am saving my coins for the distressed leather jacket from Prada, I am loving this aviator style from BDG with a similar look that will become the perfect transitional weather item come fall. I’ve seen this faux leather style in person at Nordstrom, and it looks much more expensive than the pricetag suggests.” — Irina Grechko, Fashion Director

Parfums de Marly Delina Coffret Set
“In my experience, Parfums de Marly’s Delina (one of my favorite perfumes of all time) is rarely ever on sale, so a saving of almost $200 is actually pretty special. There’s something about Delina that puts it in the same league as Baccarat Rouge and Santal 33. Firstly, it’s complex and unique (and subsequently hard to dupe). Second, it’s a certified compliment-earner. Third, the staying power is something else. At first spritz, it’s the lush Turkish rose and syrupy lychee that come through, but as it dries down on the skin, notes like warm vanilla, zingy rhubarb and skin-like musk really come into their own. Whenever I wear it, I can’t stop smelling my wrists. This set includes a full-size eau de parfum and a mini version for traveling. If you’ve had your eye on it for a while, this deal just makes sense.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Deputy Beauty Director

Vince Vida Slingback Flat
“I’ve been going back and forth for a while on which ballet flats I want to add to my shoe collection. I’ve also been admiring slingback kitten heels from afar, unsure if I can pull off the trendy style. But I may have just found the perfect solution with these Vince slingback shoes! The style is unique yet classic, and I love the red color. I can see myself wearing these shoes as we transition from summer to fall.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer

NARS Iconic Blush Duo
“NARS blushes — especially the bestselling Orgasm color — never let me down when it comes to delivering a natural flush to my cheeks. The beautiful peach hue, with a subtle gold shimmer, casts a sun-kissed glow to my cheekbones without looking like I overdid it with highlighter. I will be stocking up on this blush duo, which also includes Deep Throat, a softer pink. Paying $20 each for two top-rated blushes is an incredible steal.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer

Veronica Beard Lawrence Croc Embossed Faux Leather Dickey Jacket
“Ever since I’ve been introduced to Veronica Beard’s “Dickey” jackets, that are equipped with interior fastenings and/or zippers that can be used to attach to faux shirtfronts, it has become an integral part of my capsule closet and travel must-have. While it’s definitely an investment pieces — in particular this style made from faux leather (the style comes in other fabrications like wool, linen, corduroy, and more) — it’s one that has gotten a lot of price-per-wear in my wardrobe thanks to the way it transforms with the addition or removal of a dickey.” — Irina Grechko, Fashion Director

Béis Belt Bag
“I’ve never met a belt bag I didn’t like, so best believe that I won’t be missing my chance to score this adorable Béis sling for just over $35. In true Béis fashion, the bag comes with plenty of thoughtful design details, including a detachable card pouch. I love that I am basically getting a sling bag, a fanny pack, and a card holder for the price of one.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer

Parachute Organic Cotton Sheet Set
“I desperately need to upgrade my collection of bedding (I’ve recently torn one of my sheets in my sleep). While I’ve long been a Brooklinen girl — the brand’s sheets and duvet covers have lasted me for years in the past — several sleep-loving people have convinced me to step outside of my comfort zone and try Parachute’s organic cotton sheets for the summer; what better time to do that than during a major sale?” — Irina Grechko, Fashion Director

Parachute Organic Cotton Sheet Set, $, available at Nordstrom
Papinelle Stripe Long Sleeve & Short Pajama Set
“There’s nothing that feels more luxurious to me than lounging around your apartment on a Sunday morning in a matching pajama set. This sleep set from Papinelle has a slightly oversized silhouette — my personal preference — and the red stripes feel classic and summery at the same time.” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager

BeautyBio VIP GLO Ultimate Hydration Facial Set
“I am planning on gifting this BeautyBio GLOfacial set to my sister. I already have the white version for myself, and I love using it when I feel like my pores are really clogged and congested. It has this satisfying suction mode that gives you a hydrofacial. Plus, the built-in blue-light helps to treat pigmentation. TMI: You can see all the gunk removed from your pores in the little chamber afterwards.” — Lisa Dionisio, Homepage & Email Editor

Sam Edelman Wool Blend Wrap Coat
“I find mid-year sales to be the perfect opportunity to get an early bird discount on all the winter jackets I will be wearing on repeat in a few months’ time. This gorgeous wool-blend wrap coat looks much more expensive than it is — it reminds me of a Max Mara wool coat, but for a fraction of the price — and I like that it can be styled with or without the belt. I will be stocking up on the navy colorway for sure.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer

Hydro Flask 32-Ounce Wide Mouth Flex Straw Cap Water Bottle
“A couple of Anniversary Sales ago, Nordstrom did an exclusive Hydro Flask with flip top that sold out immediately. I missed out on grabbing it, but I’m really excited that they’re now offering this similar ivory style as well as this fun geyser blue colorway. I know I don’t need another water bottle, but I love that this has a built-in straw cap and I’m avoiding the FOMO this time around and will be adding this to the cart ASAP.” — Lisa Dionisio, Homepage & Email Editor

ghd Platinum+ Styler 1-Inch Flat Iron
“I’ve tried so many pairs of hair straighteners over the years but I always come back to my Platinum+ Styler. Not only does it heat up in next to no time, but it rarely requires more than two passes to make my wavy hair straight — and the shine is unrivaled. The plates are just the right size, which makes getting to the root really easy. No bumps here! It doesn’t simply straighten, though. Last week, a hairstylist used it to create the most natural waves on me, which I’ve recreated most days since. I’ve had mine for years and that’s saying something for a beauty editor who is sent lots (and lots) of hair tools.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Deputy Beauty Director

JW Pei Joy Faux Leather Shoulder Bag
“I own a few JW Pei bags in statement colors like periwinkle and lavender that I love. But I only find them to be appropriate for the spring and summer, so I was excited to see this neutral brown bag in Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale preview. I think the shade of brown is great to wear year-round and the sleek crossbody style is super versatile. I’m so excited to shop this buttery-soft staple piece while it’s on sale.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer

NuFace MINI+ Smart On-the-Go Facial Toning Starter Kit
“I’ve heard excellent things about the NuFace Mini, which is apparently niftier than the original when it comes to navigating the various contours of your face. Ever since one of my favorite dermatologists, Dr Anjali Mahto, extolled its virtues in an Instagram live a while ago, saying that she was ‘surprisingly pleased’ by the temporary lifting effects, I’ve vowed to get my hands on one. It enlists a microcurrent to massage the facial muscles, giving the appearance of smoother, more toned skin over time. Mainly, though, I want one to ease my stiff jaw!” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Deputy Beauty Director

Le Creuset Signature 7.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Brazier
“Like many people, I’ve been keeping an eye out for Le Creuset sales for as long as I have been cooking. The enamel cast iron pot is as much of a status symbol as a useful kitchen tool. If you were to make one big Le Creuset purchase, this double handle bowl is deep enough for a variety of cooking methods, such as braising, steaming, and frying. Plus, that signature Le Creuset red at almost half price is too hard to resist.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer

Oribe Texturizing Spray Duo Set
"If I could only use two styling products on my hair — you’re looking at ’em. Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray is the definitive cool hair in a can, and I only need a tiny spritz or two to add texture and movement to my lob. As if that wasn't good enough, the pack also comes with my favorite dry shampoo: It’s super-lightweight, so there’s no residue — just refreshed roots. I should also add, both of these products smell absolutely divine, so I like to use them as hair perfume, too." —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Schutz Cecily Slide Sandal
“I absolutely cannot resist a new pair of shoes, and as a single woman in NYC, I’ve been pounding the pavement for some cute (but comfortable) date night shoes. I really like this fun twist on the classic kitten heel that comes in at a little over $100. Not a bad price point for a shoe that’s cute, comfortable, and will outlast the hard streets of the city.” — Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
“In my honest opinion, this is one of the most underrated hand creams on the market. It’s not fussy nor particularly luxe, but for me, nothing works better to intensely nourish hands without leaving behind a heavy, greasy feeling. The texture is thick, but manages to absorb instantly with a hint of fresh scent. One tube lasts a deceptively long time, and I’ll definitely be stocking up for the remainder of the year while it’s on sale.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Viking Hard Anodized Nonstick Pans
"I have only one (very heavy) frying pan that I just ruined, so now seems like the right time to reinvest in this smaller, much more convenient set, discounted at just below $100." — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager

On Cloudswift 3 AD Running Shoe
"I recently got my first pair of ON running shoes, and quickly got hooked to the bouncy support and insane comfort. With the iconic Cloudswifts on sale during Nordstrom's big sale, I'll definitely be copping a pair for my mom." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

IGK So Smooth, So Soon Trio
“Ever since I tried IGK’s Good Behavior line, I have been obsessed with it. As a very frizzy-haired gal, I love the products and will definitely be getting this as a little gift to myself for making it half way through 2024 — $50 for enough product for half of the year is a steal.” — Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

Paige Sasha High Waist Column Straight Leg Jeans
“For the past few months, I’ve been on the hunt for a good pair of high-waisted straight-leg jeans after realizing that I somehow have none in my closet anymore. These ones from the Los Angeles-based brand Paige look just relaxed enough to be comfortable without being too baggy. Plus: I love the classic colorway, which makes them versatile to go from a casual day at the office to a night out.” — Irina Grechko, Fashion Director

Longchamp Le Pliage Recycled Nylon Canvas Cosmetics Case
“Yes, this is the mini Longchamp bag that went viral on TikTok and now Nordstrom has it on sale. I can’t decide on the color I like best, but this dusty pink one is very eye-catching. My other Longchamp bags have held up so well, and I never have to be nervous about being precious with it since it has a water-resistant lining. This ‘cosmetics case’ is the perfect size to throw in my phone, credit cards, and keys, and run to the grocery store or have a fun night out.” — Lisa Dionisio, Homepage & Email Editor

Béis The Glossy 22-Inch Expandable Carry-On Roller
“As someone who travels a lot, I often get asked by shoppers to pick the best luggage brand to make an investment in. My standard answer is always Béis luggage — and I’ve never steered them wrong. The buzzy travel brand, founded by Shay Mitchell, has managed to strike the perfect balance between style and functionality. The brand’s Barbie pink capsule collection pretty much broke the internet (and immediately sold out) when it dropped last year, but if you are looking for something with a similar vibe, allow me to direct you to this glossy pink colorway, which is now on sale.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer

Nocturne Vest with Straps
“I’ve surprised myself by hopping on the vest trend train. Vests are the perfect workwear style that can easily go from day to night. I have a green shirt vest that I constantly wear, but I need another style to add into the rotation, and this one is calling my name. I love the statement buttons and unique boat neckline, which makes it look more like a blouse. I can see myself styling this vest multiple ways — with trousers to the office, a mini skirt to get drinks, and jeans for brunch.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer

Mansur Gavriel Square Toe Mary Jane Flats
“I am currently deep in my mary jane era, and this pair from Mansur Gavriel may fill the square-toed gap in my footwear wardrobe. I love the three strap detail and subtle block heel, plus they’re $150-off!” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager
