Nordstrom’s biggest sales event of the year ended last night, but that doesn’t mean everything’s back to full price. There are actually quite a few hidden deals on clothing, beauty, and shoes, including Zella’s best-selling Studio leggings, Sunday Riley’s cult favorite Good Genes serum, and the cute, supportive Vionic Activate Rx flip-flop. If you plan on spending the rest of summer safely hunkered down in the AC, there are some cozy essentials you can grab at Nordstrom too, like a short PJ set and fluffy slippers.
You can always find great deals at Target (especially if you’re a Circle Card holder), but the houseware sales specifically caught our eye this time around. Countertop kitchen appliances, like Nespresso’s iced coffee kit and KitchenAid’s top-rated hand mixer, are on sale for up to 24% off. Air purifiers, vacuum cleaners, and other cleaner-home gadgets are also deeply discounted.
