I shop for a living, and this is what I’m eyeing from the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale

Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, but you can still save big at Nordstrom. The Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale (one of my favorite discount events of the year!) is in full swing and there are nearly 30,000 items on sale for up to 50% off — think huge discounts on brands like Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Ugg, Lancome, Le Creuset and more.

This amount of deals can be overwhelming to sort through, but don’t worry — I’ve rounded up over 20 of the very best discounts to make shopping the big sale a breeze. Even better, some of my must-have Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale deals start at just $17, so you don’t have to break the bank to bring home something fabulous. Keep scrolling to check out my list of editor-approved favorites. But don’t wait too long to add your picks to your cart — deals this good are bound to sell out.

An airy white dress is a summertime essential! This flowy style from Billabong was made for those hot and humid days when pants are just not an option. The small cutouts on the side and cinched waist give you a great shape and the puffy short sleeves add some playfulness.

From days at the office to dinners with friends, this black twist top can be styled for any occasion. The front twist keeps the deep V-neck from feeling too revealing and the flattering shape is easy to pair with jeans, skirts or trousers. It’s on sale in white too.

Every closet needs a pair of lightweight linen pants for the summer. This favorite from Caslon has a cute, slightly cropped tulip hem that will flatter sandals, flip-flops, sneakers and everything in between. If you’re worried about staining these crisp white pants, you can snag the style in black, tan and olive.

This smooth maxi dress — on sale for under $50 — is made with a soft stretch-knit fabric that will feel like a second skin as soon as you slip it on. With an ultra-flattering round V-neck, thin straps and swingy skirt, you’re never going to want to take it off. While I’m partial to this red, it also comes in black, olive and khaki.
