It’s a big sale week this week with Memorial Day weekend upon us. Nordstroms is kickin’ it off with their half-yearly sale and then tons of our favorites have great offerings all weekend long! To save you some time I’ve rounded up the best steals and picks from the sales going on this weekend.
Nordstrom
The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale has started and runs until June 3rd. No codes are needed, you’ll see all the prices as marked online. The sale this time around is a little bit of a grab bag with lots of random items on sale. However, depending on what you’re shopping for, there might be something there for you. Shop the Nordstrom Sale.
There are a good handful of special event dresses on sale. This is great if you have a wedding or shower to attend this year. There’s a good variety from more casual dresses to more dressed up ones as well as some great special even jumpsuits.
Dress Picks from the Nordstrom’s Sale
This WAYF lace maxi dress is one of the prettiest dresses I’ve come upon in the last couple years. It’s priced to fly off the shelves! I am wearing XS.
Another good item to snag at the Nordstrom sale is summer staples. Things like bathing suits, beach cover-ups, cotton tops, shorts, and casual dresses.
Summer Essentials from the Nordstrom’s Sale
The last item that’s always good to check when Nordstroms has a sale is their bags and accessories. There are some great summer shoe staples, including my current favorite Steve Madden Stecy Sandal. I’d recommend sizing up a half size in these sandals. There are also some great steals on bags. I like crossbodies and totes for the summer so I added my picks below.
Shoe and Bag Picks from the Nordstroms Sale

Other Items I Own Now On Sale
Don’t you hate when you pay full price and then see your stuff on sale?! Happens to me all the time ????.
This chambray shirt (size small) and white denim shorts (I sized up one) are on sale!
I’m wearing size small in the shorts and XS in the cami which are both on sale now!
This cozy sweatshirt cardigan (wearing XS) and these white denim shorts are on sale! I size up one in shorts to wear them on my hips.
Wearing size small in this WHITE ONE PIECE now on sale!
Wearing XS in this Free People Sweatshirt now on sale in LOTS of colors! Find additional sizes (and 20% off with code MEMDAY by purchasing here).
This knit moto jacket looks BAD on the website but it’s super cute in person. An oversized (I’d size down, this is the XS) alternative to a cardigan when worn open like this.
This bathing suit is well lined with a shelf bra and back in stock for only $35 this weekend! I am wearing size small. The earrings and shorts are on sale too (I sized up one in shorts to wear them lower).
This is a staple tee for me and it’s on sale for $13! I am wearing the larger of the two sizes I bounce between (Small) for a slouchy/oversized fit.
I hope you guys all have a wonderful holiday weekend! Don’t forget the reason we get the “holiday” – those individuals and families who made the greatest sacrifice.
