A Huge List of Sales: Sandy Liang’s Favorite Slides and $50 Off Alex Mill

Now that we’re in the latter half of September, I think it’s acceptable to really lean into spooky season — and writer (and staff Halloween head) Ambar Pardilla just launched a guide to all the best Halloween decorations on sale. Pottery Barn has some great tableware, like these skull glasses, which could absolutely be used all year long.

Some outdoor decorations for the Snoopy-pilled.

A nearly unbreakable platter for hosting a pre-Halloween hangout.

Or if you’re looking to square away your kiddos’ Halloween costumes, plenty of adorable options are on sale at Sarah’s Silks.

A perennial favorite: Stasher’s reusable storage bags, now 20 percent off.

This weekend, Strategist readers can take 25 percent off Somos’s salsa macha gift set with the code STRATEGIST25. It’s such a tasty blend of sesame and pumpkin seeds, almonds, and spices that my boyfriend and I nearly ate a whole jar in a week.

Soko Glam is offering 30 percent off its best products of 2024. I purchased this serum — which, for some reason, is even cheaper than the rest of the product picks — earlier this year. I haven’t been using this long enough to speak on its ability to fade dark spots, but it hasn’t broken my extremely sensitive skin out and it doesn’t pill.

Good Light’s newest product, Taste of Space Lip Milk, was most notably hard-launched by Charles Melton at the Golden Globes.

Lots of beauty is up to 25 percent off at Nordstrom this weekend. Tata Harper’s quick-absorbing body oil contains moisturizing grape-seed oil, antioxidant-rich camellia oil, soothing evening-primrose oil, healing calendula-flower extract, and more. It’s also a favorite of Tallulah Willis, who says it is “far and beyond the best, most supple body oil I’ve ever used.”

If you’d like to try the brand but want to keep it under $50, this duo includes two of the brand’s best-sellers, a cleanser and moisturizer.

Drag queen Farrah Moan recommends this Kate Somerville exfoliating face cleanser.

M.A.C’s much-loved lip liner is 40 percent off, which is a really good deal — you can get two for just $5 more than the price of one!

According to sleep writer Amelia Jerden, this egg-size sound machine is actually effective — and her top portable pick.

Bloomingdale’s is offering 25 percent off thousands of designer (and designer-adjacent) items through September 29. This is pretty much the only time you’ll find Alex Mill on sale outside of its rare end-of-season sales.

If you’re in need of some new denim, all jeans are 25 percent off at Wrangler this weekend. In our best-in-class guide to mom jeans, senior editor Simone Kitchens describes these slim-cut jeans as “unaffected and unadorned,” like something “fresh out of A.P.C.” Note that two colors, Stonewash (pictured here) and Black, are even cheaper.

I’m also intrigued by these corduroys, which feel very autumnal.

Amazon is price-matching these dressy-looking men’s jeans (which our beauty columnist Rio Viera-Newton says look good on women, too).

I did some snooping through Vuori’s sale section and found these leggings, a favorite of writer Arielle Avila, are 20 percent off in three colors. She likes the 24-inch inseam and says the length has never been an issue for her five-foot-two frame.

Former associate editor Louis Cheslaw prefers this pair of shorts to Patagonia’s ubiquitous Baggies. They are “insanely stretchy in the crotch” and are “somehow entirely casual enough for the beach and entirely structured enough for the city.”

Vuori also makes nice-looking non-athleisure clothes, too, like this fleece-lined shacket.

Here’s another nice flannel shirt that’s almost 30 percent off at REI. It comes in three colors.

And nice wool hiking socks for hitting some muddy trails next weekend.

If you’re trying to transition summer dresses to fall, Sheertex is having a sale on lots of on its “un-rippable” tights.

A bit of a splurge, but the sale at Wwake is worth perusing. Select pieces — including some from the brand’s archive, like this precious pearl necklace — are 20 percent off (and a portion of proceeds goes to Win NYC).

We also stand by the brand’s stud earrings. Ambar Pardilla, staff earring expert, owns this petite pair.

Merrell’s winter sale is actually worth your time, says writer Katherine Gillespie. The brand’s cult-y Mocs, which designer Sandy Liang called “the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn,” are 30 percent off and come in 12 colors.

And here’s an all-black pair if you want something not so flashy.

Vagabond’s chunky loafers have the same sole as my favorite Chelsea boots, which haven’t worn down much in the five years I’ve owned them.

If you want to try out the moto-boot trend (but don’t want to pay Frye prices).

Several products at Bathing Culture are up to 30 percent off. Its Rio-approved, refillable body wash comes in three scents — each with a different glass-bottle design — and contains a blend of oils, shea butter, and aloe vera to hydrate the skin.

I’m considering buying another one of these fluffy, mildewproof organic-cotton towels.

At Parachute, select cozy layering items are 25 percent off this weekend. I’ve owned the Cloud Cotton quilt for about two years. It’s been lightweight enough for summer months — I hate sleeping under just a top sheet — but retains a lot of heat once temperatures dip.

I don’t have the matching shams, though, so I’m considering a set in this lovely moss shade.

But these have also caught my eye!

This inexpensive duvet set from Target is also quite nice (and also all cotton).

I may finally ditch my ancient AirPods now that the Pros are on sale.

Much cheaper than losing your checked luggage. (Or finding out that it’s been left at your departing airport.)
