A Huge List of Sales: Half-Off La Mer and an $800 MacBook

Select summer styles are still 50 percent off at J.Crew right now, many of which are cooling and work-appropriate, like this V-neck linen polo that’s just the right length.

This breezy gauze shirt comes recommended by many Strategist editors. It’s one of our favorite white button-downs — and it’s especially great for those with bigger busts.

Universal Standard is home to many Strategist-favorite jeans, and plenty are up to 70 percent off for the brand’s summer sale. This pair is still available in most sizes 00 through 40.

On the more affordable end of the denim spectrum, lots of BDG classics are 30 percent off until August 5 for Urban Outfitters’ UO Haul sale.

Unlike many other non-Urban brands, Levi’s jeans are included in Urban Outfitters’ 30 percent off sale.

The perfect summer shift dress we covered last week is still on sale and now even cheaper ($5 less, to be exact).

Just a gentle reminder that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale comes to a close this Sunday and it’s most likely the last time we’ll see Frye boots on sale for a while.

If you got stuck in yesterday’s rain, perhaps you’d like to join the water-shoes-as-regular-shoes party. Our fashion writer Ambar Padilla recommends these (surprisingly chic) Nike water shoes that she spotted on Catbird’s Leigh Plessner — now $20 off.

And if you’re on the no-toe-show-summer train, this magical pair of friulanes is 40 percent off in six very funcolors.

They’re not pointed-toe slingbacks, but they’d still make a good bridal shoe!

Some classic Birks are back on sale and well-stocked at Nordstrom Rack, if you’ve officially worn your pair to the ground this summer.

Summer 2025’s “It” bag is an excellent structured beach tote. You can grab it for 20 percent off in select colors at both Dick’s and Bogg Bag’s site.

For those who like a less preppy beach tote, the cute bag that our newsletter editor Ashley Wolfgang is taking to Greece has a major discount.

To my surprise, Catbird just extended its rare sale to Sunday, so it’s your last chance to grab a new pair of dainty earrings.

Dick’s Sporting Goods’ latest flash sale has a nice selection of styles up to 50 percent off, including this sweat-wicking and quick-drying workout tee.

Alfonso Ribeiros says this stretchy shirt “has the best feeling” when on the golf course.

For something a bit more formal, Banana Republic also has lots of polos on sale, like this breathable, 100 percent cotton top with subtle contrasting colors.

These “versatile” and “firm” workout shoes are quite popular amongst the CrossFit community. They are often on sale, but right now the pair is double discounted and cheaper than usual at Nike with the code SPORT.

All Colorescience products are 20 percent off with the code COLOR20 at Dermstore — meaning our favorite powder sunscreen overall is now just $55. Dermatologist Dr. Caren Campbell says it’s great for reapplying SPF over makeup, especially for folks with hyperpigmentation or melasma that worsens in the sun.

La Mer’s rejuvenating eye cream is half off (the steepest discount I’ve seen) at Martie.

For my fellow oily-skin folks, this affordable cream moisturizer cuts down on shine and reduces sebum production with hydrating hyaluronic acid. Plus, under $20 is a great price.

Strategist readers and editors alike cannot get enough of Clinique’s universally flattering Black Honey lipstick. This week we found it on sale for cheaper than it was on Prime Day.

If you can handle the sting, this lip plumper contains a species of chile pepper that produces a notable increase in lip volume.

Some of Biodance’s TikTok-viral products are currently on sale at Sephora. This kit includes the Strategist-reader-favorite collagen mask, as well a toner and cream.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale comes to a close this Sunday. I highly suggest checking out this set, which contains a Best in Class body oil and wash that boost hydration with undaria algae.

Lume makes the best full-body deodorant on the market. It uses sweat-blocking aluminum salts, sweat-absorbing tapioca starch, and brighening mandelic acid to fight odor, reduce sweat, and even skin tones.

I graduated long ago, but even I’m thinking of capitalizing on some rare tech deals at Best Buy’s back-to-school sale. Our favorite laptop for most people, for example, is now 20 percent off.

The “thickest and most substantial” bath mat our writer Bella Druckman has tried is an extra 15 percent off with the code COMFY25. It’s our top pick overall and dries toes off fast.

Urban Outfitters’ sale is great for stocking up on clothes, but don’t sleep on the home section. There’s lots of quality bedding on sale that we don’t see discounted too often — and it’s available in twin sizes for dorms.

Or for a set that stands out, this floral-printed one comes in eight colors (and twin XL size!).

Ban.Do is a great place to find discounted planners with great organization and, most important, very cute covers. This one comes in four prints and is 30 percent off with the code CAKE.

Don’t forget the pens!

Hanna Andersson has a great selection of kids’ back-to-school clothes for up to 30 percent off, no code required.

As someone who lived in Gap tees as a child, I consider this adorable logo shirt a must-have — especially while it’s under $20.

The fun cooking play kit that Strategist senior editor Winnie Yang gifted her friends’ 2-year-old is 32 percent off. It was a big hit.
