Ilia Skin Tint, ‘Trouser Jeans,’ and 42 More Great Deals
In this article
Now is the best time to do some Mother’s Day shopping to make sure everything arrives on time. I’ve been collecting the best on-sale items that would make nice gifts, a few of which I’ve sprinkled in below. And if you’re looking to treat yourself to something nice, J.Crew has a lot of cute styles on sale (again), Amazon’s Summer Beauty Event is not to be missed, and Credo’s sitewide sale ends this weekend, so don’t dillydally.

Our favorite lightweight button-down is half off. Fashion writer Ambar Pardilla, who has tested a lot of button-down shirts over the years, say’s it’s “very breathable — in a way that makes me think I wouldn’t ever break a sweat in it.” Contributor Mya Gelber agrees that it’s a “great inexpensive option if you’re looking for something to throw over a swimsuit or for a stroll to the farmers’ market.”

All of Jennifer Fisher’s fashion jewelry is 20 percent off through May 10 when you use our code JFXSTRATMD. “For my money, Jennifer Fisher’s jewelry is frankly a steal for the quality you get — I have yet to be disappointed by something from her,” says Tyler McCall, a freelance writer (and the former editor-in-chief of Fashionista). She’s a fan of the Samira huggies. “These hoops are the platonic ideal of a daily hoop earring,” she told us.
For even more, deals writer Cassie Hurwitz rounded up a ton of on-sale jewelry from across the internet that would make nice Mother’s Day gifts. Here’s a sampling, and you can find the rest here.
