Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale ends this Sunday night. This year, we’ve seen plenty of new and in-season deals — basically, exactly what Nordstrom’s sales are best known for. And the actual discounts seem to be even better than last year; I found plenty of items for half off (or more!).
As is the case with nearly every Nordstrom sale, the women’s section is where you’ll find the greatest breadth of deals. But I’m happy to report that the home section is especially robust, including super-deep discounts on Staub cookware and home décor from some of our favorite indie brands.
The sale ends this Sunday, June 2, at midnight PT, and stock is subject to change, so I’d recommend shopping sooner than later. Scroll on to see the best deals I’ve found — and if you want even more, check out the entire Half-Yearly Sale here.
