Top 10 NSale items $50 and under:
- Everyday cardigan: We were tempted to get this grandma cardigan in every color! The perfect amount of softness, stretch, zero itchy factor, if you don’t have one of these in your wardrobe currently, you need!! Only a few colors left!
- Zella backpack: This is the kind of grab-and-go bag that keeps up with your day—whether you're headed to the gym, park, or running errands. Score it for $44.99 (reg. $65) today!
- Hydroflask: This is the ultimate companion for the beach, the gym or running nine billion errands. It keeps hot liquids hot for six hours and cold liquids cold for TWENTY FOUR. If you don't have a Hydro Flask you should totally try one. Right now, you get the brown or blue for $29.99 ($44.95 after sale)!
- Quilted pocket jacket: Lightweight but warm, it’s the kind of jacket that makes running errands or school drop-offs feel just a little more put together without even trying. We totally love this for teens too! You can choose between two colors for only $38.99 during Nsale!
- Makeup brush set: This three-piece complexion set is the best starting kit and is under $50! Use the soft coverage brush for foundation and powder, the precision powder brush for setting powder, and the domed concealer brush for concealer/color-correctors. This is our fave makeup brush brand!
- Free people cardigan: We were kinda shocked how much we loved this! Those tiny buttons are SO on-trend, but the sleeve length and then the way it just laid perfectly, absolutely sold us. Corrine almost skipped this one and she's so glad she didn’t! SHE DID size up 1 size in this top since it’s very fitted!
- Quay sunglasses: These cat eye Quay sunnies are SUCH a fun shape, we just love them for boat or beach days! Plus, it's only $42.99 right now, normally $65!
- Bow pointed toe mule: How darling are these bow mules?! They’re slide-on easy but still feel super polished, aka your new go-to when you want to add a little extra *spice* to an outfit. They’re available in four beautiful colors and currently on sale for $39.99 ($65 after sale)! SUCH a great price point for something this cute.
- Natori bra: We’ve tried on all the Natori bras and although we love them all, this one takes the cake for the MOST comfortable. We’ll be getting this in multiple colors while it's $48.99 (reg $74)!
- Drawstring sleeve dress: We're so excited to see this dress under $50! This is one of those pieces that’s comfy enough for all-day wear but still feels totally put together. Pair it with sneakers for a casual day out or dress it up with boots and a denim jacket. So easy, so versatile and such a good summer-to-fall transition piece.
- Living proof dry shampoo: $42 (retail value $60)- This set includes our very favorite dry shampoo (the #1 selling dry shampoo on the planet!). The Living Proof brand was designed by MIT scientists to give you thicker, healthier, more beautiful hair every single day. If you’re trying not to wash you hair too often, this set is for you because Living Proof is proven to keep hair cleaner longer!
- Ruffle ankle socks: These ruffle socks instantly dress up a cute outfit! They are just as fun to show off as they are comfortable to wear. Grab a pack for only $20 during Nsale!
- Moonlight pajamas: This is the same brand as our fave pajams and this new style is to die for! These pjs are known for being super soft and extremely comfy, and this new ribbed fabric is next level. We are happy to see it on sale for $49.99 (reg. $79) during Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, in four colors! These sold out SO fast last NSale so don't wait!
- Zella leggings: Corrine discovered Zella Leggings about nine years ago. She remembers specifically because she went into Nordstrom and told the associate that she needed some leggings that were not going to show her underwear underneath. She immediately knew which ones to steer her towards, and the rest is history. They're the most versatile and well-made leggings, we have pairs that are YEARS old still in our constant rotation! Right now you can get these high waist leggings for only $39.99 (reg. $59)!
