All of the world's wonderful things are happening this week: Bridgerton season three is bingeable, the weather has entered summer territory in New York, and of course, Nordstrom is having a sale again. That's right. Our editors' favorite retailer is back to take over our closets thanks to the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. From now until June 2, shop major discounts on shoes, handbags, clothing, and beauty items. Some of our favorite brands—including Open Edit, Topshop, Jeffrey Campbell, Free People, and Madewell—are deeply discounted right now, meaning it's the perfect time to stock up on all of your favorites right before summer officially kicks off.
As a Gen Z editor, it's practically in my job description to find the cutest, most on-trend clothing without having to pay the equivalent of a mortgage on a Nordstrom haul. With all of my favorite brands being up for grabs, I took the liberty of scrolling through the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale section to find the best Gen Z–approved items. You can thank me later.
Below, shop all of my favorite items, from ultra-viral mesh flats to classic linen pants. If you blow your entire paycheck in one go like I almost did, don't say I didn't warn you!
