I Make a Living by Spotting Trends—Here’s What Stood Out to Me at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.

      If there's one unofficial holiday that our editors eagerly anticipate each year, it's the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. This event occurs just twice annually and is truly amazing. While some sales can sometimes feel like they're offering leftovers and not what you desire, this one is the exact opposite. For instance, how often can you acquire Balenciaga at 50% off? There are discounts on Maison Margiela, Tory Burch, Cecilie Bahnsen, Chopova Lowena—the list goes on and on. As someone who tracks trends professionally, I approach this sale like a treasure hunt. I discovered trendy capris, Tabis, wedge flip-flops, kitten heels, and emerging designers to watch. With discounts available until June 1, I sifted through hundreds of items to highlight what stood out the most. Here’s everything that caught my attention.

      Justine Clenquet

      Sam Hoop Earrings

      Justine Clenquet is a favorite among my friends for jewelry.

      Cotton On

      All Day V Neck Halter

      Halter tops all summer long.

      BDG Urban Outfitters

      Je T'Aime Camisole

      Mesh tops for hot days.

      Ray-Ban

      53mm Pillow Oval Sunglasses

      Marc Fisher LTD

      Tracey Kitten Heel Slide Sandal

      SKIMS

      Scoop Neck Cotton Blend Jersey T-Shirt

      I want everything from Skims.

      Cotton On

      Women's Haven Micro Short

      I just love a little mini short for warm weather.

      Balenciaga

      Le Cagole Leather Card Holder

      I have my eye on this Balenciaga card holder.

      Balenciaga

      Bb Soft Lambskin Leather Hobo Bag

      Fifty percent off this bag?

      Balenciaga

      Extra Small Le Cagole Rose Leather Shoulder Bag

      Alright, that wraps up my Balenciaga selection.

      Tory Burch

      Cap Toe Slingback Pump

      I’ve been considering these Tory Burch slingbacks for some time.

      Maison Margiela

      Tabi Ballerina Flat

      indego africa

      Braided Raffia Day Bag Natural

      Tory Burch

      Claire Ballet Flat

      Hear me out. My co-worker recently wore a pair of Tory Burch flats to the office, which completely changed my view of them.

      Chopova Lowena

      Calamity Suit Skirt

      This is a designer I was most excited to see at London Fashion Week.

      Tory Burch

      Miller Platform Wedge Flip Flop

      These aren’t my usual style, but I think they’d be so fun for a beach trip.

      Palm Angels

      Paradise Palm Glitter Graphic T-Shirt

      This Paradise T-shirt is fantastic.

      Steve Madden

      Cary Heeled Sandal

      Simone Rocha

      Negligee Bow Slipdress

      The loveliest slip from Simone Rocha.

      Cecilie Bahnsen

      Alena Bralette Recycled Faille Midi Dress

      Sandy Liang

      Roche Lambswool Blend Cardigan

      The sweetest cardigan from Sandy Liang.

      Proenza Schouler

      Belted Canvas Tote

      Thirty percent off Proenza Schouler.

      Valentino Garavani

      Polka Dot Bib Collar Pleated Shantung Silk Minidress

      And I’ll conclude with an aspirational Valentino dress at 40% off. (I was moved to tears by their last haute couture collection due to how inspiring I found it.)
