The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale Is Back with Major Markdowns on Summer Must-Haves (You're Welcome)

This mini sundress—currently on sale for just under $140—has all the features you love, from a fun tropical print to a tiered skirt and flirty flutter sleeves. That said, you'd better add it to your cart before other savvy shoppers beat you to it, because did I mention that the cotton style is machine-washable, so you can wear it on repeat this summer, whether you're headed to the beach or a brunch date?

These cuffed jeans are one of the biggest buys during the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale, and it's not just because they have a refined-yet-cool silhouette that makes them more elevated than your average pair. As one reviewer writes, "[KUT from the Kloth] has quickly become one of my favorite brands that I was introduced to from a boutique. The Meg cut is my absolute favorite. There is so much comfort with every single pair I have purchased." This particular wide-leg style is crafted from a faded stretch denim made of cotton and spandex, so there's no question whether they'll hug your curves in all the right places. Even better, they're designed with the label's smoothing Fab Ab front pockets, which supposedly help to keep things smooth and minimize bunching. 

Associate Fashion Commerce Editor (and self-proclaimed bra-hater) Stephanie Meraz tested this cult-favorite undergarment and deemed it "the most comfortable bra" she owns. "Between the soft feel of the fabric to the thin, lightweight padding that felt so malleable and non-suffocating on my skin, I almost forgot that I was even wearing a bra," she wrote in her review. "The lace band felt supple and breathable against my chest and ribcage like a gentle hug that never dug in or caused my skin to spill over. The demi contour and deep plunge created a flattering shape and natural lift that looked great with my V-neck blouses and dresses." Need I say more?

No summer wardrobe is complete without a new pair of white sneakers, so I'm picking up this classy twist on classic Converses as we speak. If you can't tell, the shoes have a pretty floral lace upper, which will add a feminine touch to all your fits. You'll definitely love them, but will your feet? Since the sneakers have OrthoLite cushioning, which is known for providing optimal comfort and durability over time, I'd say heck yeah—so run, don't walk to buy these très chic kicks for less than $40.

Guys, I can't stop swooning over this fabulous faux wrap dress, and can you really blame me? Between its wrapped, V-neck bodice, ruffled high/low skirt and gorge floral print, it's the perfect midi dress for special occasions, from weddings to anniversaries. And I don't doubt that it'll have a flattering fit on all sorts of body types, especially since you can adjust the straps (score!). But you don't just have to take my word for it. One reviewer raves, "This dress fits like a glove for my pear-shaped body. I am going to be wearing this dress all summer," and you probably will, too.

You'll want a tube (or three) of this lash-enhancing serum, so do yourself a favor and stock up to look forward to longer, thicker lashes through summer. According to a former PureWow editor who reviewed the product for a PureWow100, the results will speak for themselves. Long story short, she claimed she was constantly asked if her lashes were real after using the serum, which is infused with vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants to strengthen and elongate her strands. And just so you know, a standard tube should also last up to three months, so take your pick. No matter what size you buy, you'll be saying bye-bye to falsies and hello to naturally longer and fuller lashes in no time.

Plan on getting your step count up this season? Or perhaps you're training for a marathon and need some new running shoes? Either way, you can't go wrong grabbing these Hoka sneakers, which are marked down in multiple sizes and colorways, including this pretty pastel combo. Serious sprinters and Hot Girl Walkers alike will appreciate the Arahi's compression molded midsole that provides both cushy comfort and added stability, while everyone else on your trail will love the look of 'em—and will likely let you know it.

Do you live in linen pants during the summer? If you answered yes, I have some good news: These easy, breezy bottoms are currently up for grabs for less than $45, and they have an elastic drawstring waist, which means you can adjust their fit for ultimate comfort. Love a wide leg? These linen and rayon blend pants have that, too, along with front slant and back welt pockets. So, if I were you, I would buy them in every color, especially at this price.

If you're anything like me, you won't be able to resist scooping up a pair of cute *and* comfy sandals for under $80, so I'll cut to the chase. Everything about the style, from its strappy design to its textured upper and ideal heel height, is guaranteed to complement just about any fit. Better yet, the sandals are marked down in multiple colors, so you can take your pick. But here's why one reviewer doesn't regret buying the shoes: "I’ve been wearing these to work, and I am a teacher who is on her feet all day, roughly from 6:30 a.m. till 4 p.m. I could not believe how comfortable they were. My right foot, which gives me a lot of trouble in the arch, was still in decent shape at the end of the day. And since I have been wearing Vionics, my feet don’t hurt in the morning when I get out of bed. So I know my feet are being supported." Shout-out to that cushioned footbed with arch support!

I heard that you're looking for a new work tote. Well, look no further than this structured style crafted from a plant-based leather alternative that went super viral on TikTok back when it launched. It has more interior pockets than your typical tote (two, to be exact), plus a *secret* exterior snap pocket behind the Tory Burch logo patch on the front. Cool right? Why else do you think it has hundreds of 5-star reviews? I'll let one buyer tell it: "This bag is awesome for holding both my iPad and reMarkable, with plenty of space left for my wallet and other essentials. It’s a great choice for anyone looking for something stylish and functional for their professional life. Plus, I absolutely love the color!" I couldn't agree more.

Everyone wants to get their hands on this adorable frock for summer (including me). That's because it has the cutest bow details, pretty puff sleeves and side-seam pockets, which make it stylish *and* functional. But don't just buy this dress because it sounds like it checks all the boxes (which, of course, it does)—nab it for its breathable blend of cotton, linen and polyester and flowy, A-line fit, which is perfect for summer. And, yes, it's lined and comes in various bold colors, including this mustard shade that'll blow butter yellow right out of the park!

It'll be time to pull out your denim shorts before you know it (though if you're headed on a beach vacation, it'll be even sooner). That's why you should buy this must-have pair that the brand claims is "relaxed at the waist and easy through the hips." In other words, they may be some of the comfiest cutoffs you buy for the upcoming season, especially at this price. Just so you know, they have a mid-length inseam, raw-edge hem, five-pocket styling and 100 percent cotton construction, which also means they should stay in sturdy shape for multiple summers to come. What more could you ask for?

When I discovered that these ultra-trendy raffia sandals had velcro slingback straps with a hook-and-loop closure, I knew I couldn't gatekeep them. Not only do they offer maximum comfort without sacrificing style, but one reviewer even says that the shoes remind them of ones from more expensive brands. Needless to say, I can see why everyone wants to get their hands (well, feet) on these beachy beauties. Now that they're on sale for a steal, all I can say is you'd better buy them now before they're gone.

Want to look as cool as any Portuguese gal this summer? If so, I suggest you scoop up this boho maxi skirt in as many colors and prints as possible. Thanks to the tiered design and elasticated drawstring waist, it has a laid-back, city-girl vibe that nails the Lisbon look. Not to mention, the lightweight style is made of linen, which is every fashionista's fabric of choice for summer. Just keep in mind that it has a full length and relaxed fit, which is great for casual wear—though that doesn't mean you can't dress it up with a nice top and heels.

Addicted to anything with a vanilla scent? Same! Well then, you might have to race me to checkout for this sensual fragrance that may or may not be one of the most provocatively named bottles in your perfume collection. It boasts warm and spicy notes of Vanilla Tincture India, vanilla absolute and sandalwood essence, which should smell just as flirty as its name suggests. You'll just have to add it to your cart to find out for sure, but before you do, you might like to know that Taylor Swift is a fan of Tom Ford perfumes, so there's a high chance you won't be disappointed. "All I can say is give it a few days," one reviewer explains. "It took me about four days to appreciate what [Tom Ford] has done here, and I love it. Also, remember it's a light scent that’s perfect for layering. I threw it on top of some Tuscan leather, and WOW, but it was perfectly fine by itself."

Ever since Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted in a pair of Teva sandals, they've gone from a little bit crunchy to instantly chic. While this isn't the exact style that she was spotted rocking on the streets of New York, it's just as practical and effortless, complete with an adjustable ankle strap and quick-drying webbing that'll come in handy by the pool or ocean. These sporty sandals are likely also as comfy as they look, especially since they have an EVA-cushioned footbed that supposedly absorbs impact and distributes weight, per the brand.
