In today’s sales roundup, I found loads of fashion and home deals to embrace the springtime spirit, including steep discounts on Victoria Justice’s favorite Madewell pants, semi-sheer socks for almost-bare feet, and an Anker power bank perfect for hikes and picnics. There’s also a really great sale at Urban Outfitters, but like the total eclipse, it’s happening today only, so don’t dillydally.

There are some solid discounts on pieces from Alex Mill, including 25 percent off this breezy sundress with some charming details: cuffed sleeves, a buttoned front, and a classy (optional) waist tie.

I found these suede Reebok sneakers amid the stellar solar eclipse deals at Urban. They’re a nice alternative to the seemingly always-sold-out Sambas.

There’s also this groovy multi-hook shelf for the spring cleaners and organizers among us. If this springy green option isn’t for you, there’s also a more neutral wood version. The Baggu isn’t included, but the brand’s medium crescent bag is also on sale in a few colors.

This end table–slash–extra seat is 40 percent off in three spring color combinations, including this lovely baby blue and olive green pairing.

My last Urban find is this delightful semi-sheer pair of socks that’ll let your feet breathe as the weather gets warmer. They’re on sale in both white and black colorways.

This portable charger from Anker can hold enough power to charge an iPhone 14 twice (or two at once since it has dual-charging capacities). This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the power bank.

I also found this pair of noise-canceling earbuds that’s deeply discounted in all four color options. JBL makes some of our favorite bluetooth speakers, so we have high expectations for these earbuds’ performance in the sound department.

$50

Our favorite air fryer for beginners is also on sale for just under $50. It only has two dials, one for temperature and one for time, leaving little room for error.

The J.Crew swim sales just keep on coming, and I found this solid cross-back one-piece with a double discount on every color. Just use the code SALETIME at checkout to get an extra 25 percent off the already discounted suit.

There’s also this retro hip pack that podcast host Sam Sanders can’t live without. It’s big enough to fit your wallet, phone charger, some gum, chapstick, and sunglasses for all your springtime activities.

I’m loving this cheery pair of green slacks from Madewell that have Victoria Justice’s stamp of approval. She says they’re comfortable and the perfect balance between casual and chic.

This do-it-all tool is beloved by hairstylists because of its ability to work magic on so many different hair types. The blow-dryer brush uses ionic technology to dry, detangle, and volumize, and it’s 30 percent off at Amazon and Nordstrom.

Also from Patagonia is this durable duffle with a water-repellent and abrasion-resistant coating. We’re big fans of the brand’s Black Hole bags, and this one is 30 percent off.

Finally, if you’re looking to refresh your bedding, here’s an affordable duvet cover that is rarely on sale.
