      Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale is still ongoing for just a few more days. With discounts of up to 60%, this semiannual event is a favorite among editors. For sweaters, Nordstrom’s own cashmere line features some of the best reductions. Shoe bargains include the G.H. Bass Weejuns penny loafers, Stuart Weitzman Minimalist Slide 50 sandals, Tory Burch cap-toe pumps, and Vince Harlan knee-high boots. There are also plenty of outerwear choices available, such as the Andrew Marc Jupiter wool-blend balmacaan, London Fog wool-blend longline coat, and Lauren Ralph Lauren cotton-blend coat. Moreover, I noticed standout dresses from ACNE Studios, Courrèges, Paolina Russo, and Simone Rocha. For beauty products, there’s haircare from Briogeo, the MAC lip kit in Whirl, and Peter Thomas Roth's top-selling moisturizer. Below, I’ve compiled a list of must-see staples before the sale concludes on January 5.
