Don't miss out! You can shop the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale through January 8. (Nordstrom)
I love a good sale, and I especially love when a good sale is extended. One of my favorite bi-annual discount events — the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale — is now running through January 8, which means more time to take advantage of huge markdowns on major brands like Ugg, Tory Burch, Clinique, Birkenstock, Kate Spade, Zella, Barefoot Dreams and Our Place. The retailer's most popular items are selling out fast, so I highly recommend you use this extension wisely and start shopping now (if you haven't already).
My cart is stocked with goodies like this unreal Le Creuset Dutch oven for $300 (was $462) and this cozy sweater that you can live in every day (it's 45% off!). I am also eyeing this Sam Edelman puffer jacket that's down to $100 (was $200). Because the deals are so overwhelming, scroll below to shop my tightly-curated list of editor-approved deals during the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale. You're welcome!
Stan Smiths have been trendy forever — and will continue to be— because they're the perfect casual sneaker that you can wear all day. They also go with everything! Plus, Adidas just refreshed the classic style by making them with 50% recycled material.
Birkenstocks are rarely (if ever) on sale at Nordstrom, so it's big news that you can currently snag a pair of this chicer style in silver for 25% off. Your feet will just melt into the soft footbed.
Before you say anything, I am aware that hand towels are a random must-have purchase. However, these super soft ones from Nordstrom are so affordable right now so you can buy multiple for every bathroom in your house and still have extra in the linen closet. A deal is a deal!
"If you like thick, fluffy, absorbent towels, these are perfect," shared a five-star reviewer. "We bought one set, tried them and immediately ordered another set. I followed the washing instructions and didn't use a dryer softener. Even with our hard water, the towels came out soft. They dry well too."
Stay dry on rainy days with this sleek Levi's number. You'll appreciate the deep pockets and drawstring hood.
Honestly, there's nothing better than cuddling up in a super soft cardigan like your own personal cocoon. And when it comes to said super soft cardigans, Barefoot Dreams is just the softest. I'm obsessed with the grayish shade here, but it also comes in a soft cream.
Found: A lightweight sweater that you can live in every day of the year. It's seriously so comfortable, which makes the 45% off markdown even sweeter.
When it comes to go-to buys for Nordstrom shoppers, Zella leggings are really one of the best — especially the buttery-soft Studio Luxe high-waisted pair. Not only are they flattering and stylish (look how cute this indigo-y color is!), but everyone says that are very much squat proof. Oh, and they have pockets. Pockets!
So many customers are obsessed with these, with a handful buying multiple pairs over the years. "Love them!" wrote a five-star reviewer. "The material is thin and breathable without being see-through or feeling like it will tear. They hold good compression and don’t slide all over. I am curvy with a butt and hips and usually have issues with some leggings staying up, not with these."
Bundle up for the snowy days ahead in this Sam Edelman puffer. We love the removable hood that's lined with cozy faux shearling.
Everyone needs a new set of pajamas for getting through the year. This one is made of brushed hacci knit that is just oh-so-soft. I'm already planning on wearing these every single night. Honestly, I'll probably wear them every day as well.
I have one major rule when it comes to sale shopping, and that's to shop the deep discounts on designer bags. This gorgeous Tory Burch one is just over $200. That's nearly 50% off its normal retail price of $398. It's small enough for a night out, but still roomy enough to comfortably fit everything you need.
There's nothing more classic and chic than a pair of black Chelsea boots. And this pair is totally waterproof, meaning you can wear them outside in every kind of unpleasant weather situation.
Eyeshadow sticks are a must-have for anyone who loves a no-effort makeup look — and Bobbi Brown makes the best ones. All you need to do is swipe the stick over your lid and you've got a smudge-proof and seamless look that lasts all day long. Valued at nearly $200 (but on sale for just $74!), this set comes with five ultimate quick sticks for shading, lining and defining eyes. There's even a mascara to top off your easy look.
"I've been using these cream eyeshadow sticks for a long time. I own more than 10 of them!" wrote one makeup fan. "Sometimes I wear only the eyeshadow sticks; other times, I use it as a base so that powder eyeshadow stays on my eyes throughout the day."
This Nordstrom-exclusive set features all of the top Clinique goodies in travel-ready sizes, including hero products like the Almost Lipstick in Black Honey and the Take The Day Off Makeup Remover.
Le Creuset is pretty much the gold standard in bakeware, especially when it comes to the beloved enameled cast iron Dutch ovens. Think of it like the Beyoncé of cookware. And this Dutch oven is more than $100 off in all nine colors.
This two-sided accent pillow features both a soft faux suede side and a cuddly faux fur side. Just flip it over and your couch or bed has a new look!
If you're still on the hunt for the perfect bra, then let me introduce you to the Natori Feathers bra (Yahoo recently named it the best bra!). I've sworn by this undergarment for years and have it in six different colors. It's partially lined with contoured plunge cups to give your bust a flattering shape and elastic-lined edges that keep the bra securely in place without digging into your skin.
Yes, you can absolutely wear white after Labor Day, and this slouchy and soft sweater proves it. The knit fabric will keep you warm all season long. Plus, the dropped shoulders and soft ribbing make it the ultimate lounging layer.
A chic and cozy belted sweater dress is such a classic holiday dinner look — and this cinched one is just sheer timeless perfection. It also comes in black if that's more your vibe. Oh, and the belt is removable so the styling options are just endless.
To me, nothing says holiday joy more than a pair of Ugg boots on sale — or really anything from Ugg on sale. But if you're generally iffy about the style of basic Ugg boots, you need to check out this pair of chic shearling-lined Chelsea boots. And because you'll actually want to wear these outside, these Uggs have a water-repellent coating.
"These boots have the warmth and comfort of your typical Ugg but look so much nicer," shared one Nordstrom shopper. "They don’t have the thick sole found in so many Ugg boots. They have a much thinner sole and therefore look more classy, without sacrificing warmth."
These fuzzy socks are the epitome of cozy — and they look just like the iconic Barefoot Dreams socks. Unlike those, however, these babies are under $6 during the sale.
Even though it doesn't seem like it, leopard is a neutral print. Pair it with something iconic like this Kate Spade tote bag and you've got a versatile and timeless piece that will last forever.
If you have yet to try any Mac lipstick, this is your sign to do it. This special edition set is valued at a very expensive $130, but you can grab it for only $48. It features five different lip colors, including a pink-y neutral and versatile brick red. And if you need any more convincing, my grandmother refuses to wear anything other than Mac and she still looks hot as hell.
The skin care products you use on your body are just as important as the ones you put on your face. Nécessaire formulates some of the best skin care products specifically for the skin on your arms and legs I've personally used both the body lotion and body serum (valued at $73!) in this gift set for the past year and my skin has never been so baby-smooth and healthy.
Temperatures are only going to get colder, which means you need more cozy things to cuddle up with! These gorgeous and soft flannel sheets will keep you so warm while you sleep that you honestly won't mind if it's negative whatever degrees outside.
Yes, everyone is obsessed with the classic Our Place Always Pan, but I firmly believe that the mini version of the pan is so much better. With the same nonstick construction, the Mini Always Pan is ideal for cooking smaller meals and side dishes. Plus, a smaller pan means a smaller mess to clean up later! This one comes in lots of fun colors like blue and sage.
Thanks to the fine Turkish cotton, this soft and snuggly throw blanket is ideal for staying warm in the winter months and cooler in the summer months. It's also super oversized, meaning the snuggle opportunities are endless.
