A Huge List of Sales: Under-$100 La Mer and Discounted Dorm Essentials
In this article
Nordstorm’s Anniversary Sale is one of my favorite sales of the year, so I went all in for today’s end-of-week roundup. The beauty deals are always good, and you often find brands that don’t get discounted throughout the year in the mix (like Natori, Bombas, and Ecco, to name a few). Speaking of beauty, we just got word that Ami Colé is closing down, so now’s the time to stock up; its sale section is an extra 25 percent off until stock runs out. And if neither of those sales is for you, I found plenty more double discounts at Levi’s, Madewell, Nordstrom Rack, and Anthropologie.
