Important PSA: The Nordstrom Summer Sale is in full swing and that means some of the most beloved and best-selling brands are offering up to 60% off fashion, beauty, home, and more!
There's simply no time to wait. The sale officially ends Sept. 12, but things will likely sell out sooner, soooo let's dive right into some of our faves:
1. A Bobbi Brown luxe lipstick that'll make a statement so bold you won't even have to bother with doing the rest of your makeup. A powerful look with minimum effort? Now that's my kind of beauty language.
2. A basic tee with a gentle rounded V-neckline and front patch pocket since these types of tops are a staple in any wardrobe. Whether you choose a solid color, stripes, or patterned design, it's a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down and layered under all your fall sweaters.
3. An elegant pebbled leather bag that can be worn on your shoulder or crossbody, which means it's the perfect tote for pretty much all occasions. Plus, it comes with a detachable zip-top pouch to be used as either a pocket or separate clutch. What's not to love?!
4. A set of menswear-inspired striped short pajamas for anyone who's sick of lounging around in a tattered old T-shirt and shorts. Yes, you *can* be both stylish and comfy while watching TV!
5. A ruched sleeveless dress with a casual-dressy vibe making it super versatile. Wear it to work with some classy accessories, and then slip on a jean jacket when you head to happy hour!
6. A water-resistant Chelsea boot so stylish and downright sexy you might actually refuse to take them off. A decision I fully support, in case you were wondering.
7. A jersey maxi dress if you want something comfy and cute that can handle any and all occasions, including those end-of-season weddings coming up.
8. A cropped crewneck sweater not too long, not too short, but just right! In other words, you've just found the goldilocks of cozy-chic sweaters.
9. A Le Creuset dutch oven if you're ready to invest in a beautiful, high-quality, and versatile kitchen heirloom piece. Use it to cook up tasty stews, soups, and roasts, bake the perfect sourdough, and more!
10. A crepe blouse with delicate lace sleeves so you can hold onto that flirty summertime energy just a little bit longer, without having to freeze your arms off just to do so.
11. A Too Faced eye shadow palette with both neutral/earthy *and* super sparkly colorful shades — AKA it always has what you need. Feeling loud and vibrant? Check. Soft and subtle? Check check. Something in between? Check check check.
12. A pair of 7/8 leggings because the season of leggings, scarves, and pumpkin spice lattes is nigh, so you'd better prepare and stock up now.
13. A pair of Hunter rain boots here to banish the woes of walking in icky wet weather for good. Keep those feet dry in style, baby!
14. A ribbed polo sweater to give you that crisp and polished ~studious~ look... even if you haven't been in the world of academia since.... uhhh... well, let's just say it's been a while.
15. A velvety accent pillow since it not only looks extremely elegant and classy but is also super plush and comfy, meaning you'll actually use it, unlike your other fancy not-so-cozy throw pillows.
