Happy official August, guys! The sales this weekend are ridiculously good (as you can probably see from the list, below). They’re definitely worth the peek…from summer leftovers to early fall drops. If something’s been on your radar, now’s the moment to grab it before inventory shifts.
The Best Sales This Weekend
- Gap Factory – 40-70% off sitewide. These $17 sandals look super similar to S’ faves from Ref, that Jess has + loves (thanks to Elizabeth in our Discord Chat for the rec!!). Amy’s linen-blend pants are 50% off, too (there’s a ton of colors/patterns).
- Nordstrom Rack – Ton of great stuff discounted: these studded fisherman sandals that Ang tried (super comfy, looks similar to Freda Salvador), a fit & flare dress for day to day, a dress perfect for fall, a cool girl tote, elastic-waist soft jeans, Shana’s most-worn Levi’s (which, the whole Levi’s section is worth a peek + on sale).
- J.Crew – up to extra 60% off sale. The best overall linen top that S has (she tried 30+) is on sale. Bunch of great dresses: 100% linen shift (sizes XL-3X), a drop waist option, this bubble-hem one, a really chic colorblock number + a 100% cotton breezy dress. Other things worth checking out: this pretty little top, this collared cardi + Amy’s block print pants.
- Nordstrom – sale section: one of Laura’s fave pairs of leggings, the Caslon pants the team has worn for years, this pretty sling bag that’d be great for fall, + a bunch of MOTHER denim on sale.
- Tuckernuck – sale section includes this dress that could lean edgy, chic or preppy depending how you style it + would work for fall with tall boots, this sporty pullover in my fave color combo, + the sleekest version of a poncho I’ve ever seen.

Hey, hey Friday. I hope everyone has a great weekend. It’s a good one to be really clear about setting intentions, Full Moon in Aquarius tonight. Do it. Ask the universe to continue to show you just how amazing it can be. It’s been working for me and I’ve turned a bit of a corner lately with my year of shite (i’ve so lovingly named it.) Anyway, onward and upward is the theme for the rest of 2025. Love y’all.
Sales are fun at anthropologie especially today. 40% off sale items and this dress looks amazing and perfect for this transitional time of year. And you’ll see the other Colette pants below, but these full length linen ones on sale are also gorgeous.
ONE: The beloved Colette pants from Maeve are on sale in khaki and navy right now. I adore them and already have them in two colors but I’m probably gonna add that navy to the mix. They are so flattering and comfortable and incredible on all different bodies. Highly recommend. Some of my favorite pants ever. True to size. Size up if between and you have a straighter waist like me. Narrower at the waist, stick true to size or size down if truly between sizes.
TWO: I don’t know if there is another shoe I know I will always have in my closet like my Vans slip ons. They’re on sale at Nordstrom in a really beautiful pale gray/blue. Need. I wear them to just about every outdoor concert because they add that fun print element to my outfits but are so comfy…and if I get to sit in the grass they’re easy to slip off, too. And as a punk rock fan I mean, they’re a must have.

“Get a puppy,” they said, “it’ll be fun,” they said. Actually, they didn’t say that. People actively tried to warn us about getting a puppy and we did it anyway. But that’s okay because we needed some excitement in our lives and I really didn’t like all those shoes I wore all the time or all of the whicker baskets I’ve been collecting for years or the nice couch cushions that have all been destroyed. He’s so darn cute though and the best cuddler of all time. Worth it (I think)!
As for sales this week, everything at Gap Factory is 40-70% off sitewide right now so I just bought these striped barrel pants (I have them in camo and LOVE them). Also, these cute clogs I’ve been eyeing forever are up to 59% off so I bought them in tobacco. I also couldn’t pass on this super flattering striped maxi dress that is currently 55% off at Nordstrom.
ONE: Damson Madder Goldie Leopard Laster Denim A-Line Dress I’ve had my eye on this denim leopard print dress for ages now and it finally went on sale for 30% off at Nordstrom. It is a heavy weight denim fabric with a soft leopard print and the cutest front bow-tie. It will be so cute with knee high boots or mary janes this fall.
TWO: Damson Madder Drew Leopard Print Jeans Another win from Damson Madder – these cool-toned leopard print cargo jeans. They are made from a medium, rigid denim and they run small. I will be returning for a size 6.

I’m back from Mexico, (married!!), and still riding the high of what can only be described as beautiful chaos. We had five kids under 12 in the ceremony, family who flew in from Hawaii, Canada, and all over the U.S., and the kind of heat that had Andy sweating through three shirts (luckily, he’d planned ahead). The dance party afterward was exactly what I’d hoped for: epic. Friends were amazing, jumping in to help and making sure everything went smoothly, while Andy spent the week running around behind the scenes like a madman so I wouldn’t have to lift a finger. Days were spent lounging by the pool with margaritas in hand (the two youngest had so many smoothies I lost count–but the red mustaches gave them away) and laughing as our families blended together seamlessly.
In one last chaotic twist, I ended the week in a wheelchair, being wheeled across the resort in nothing but a red bikini, briefly convinced I was going to die after a wasp sting gave me an allergic reaction that made my tongue swell, my lips go numb, and talking difficult. (If there’s a less glamorous way to end your wedding week, I can’t think of it.) An hour later I was back in the pool with a margarita. Like I said, beautiful chaos. I survived the chaos, the heat, and a wasp sting — so trust me when I say these sales are worth the buzz. (ha)
jeans | bodysuit | sandals (also on sale!) | wedges | jeans (28, also on sale!) | top (m)
ONE: The super soft, flattering (yes I need to use that word), wide-leg jeans I can wear with flats AND heels are finally on sale –30% off over at Good American! And while they aren’t listed at a discount at Nordstrom, they do price matching, so…if you have any notes left over from the sale… these. They’re perfect for the transition to fall (full review here).
TWO: These have been a fave since my big wedge try-on (does that sound weird?? 🤣), and it’s finally on sale (40% off!). The asymmetric strap gives it a cool, modern edge, the super cushy footbed is ridiculously comfortable, and the heel height is spot-on. Bonus: the platform sole makes them feel almost like flats. (Also on sale at Zappos!)

I’m feeling all the tension that dwells in between summer and fall. I’m so sad to spend less time with Jude, but so excited for him to experience this next season in life as he goes to school full time. I don’t want sparkly pool days and the late nights to end, but I’m also soooo ready for early routine mornings and steady, focused work time. And while I wasn’t yet ready for anything particularly pumpkin, I just realized I’m fresh out of candles and need a new one to burn in the evenings. Ugh, Time, slow down, will you?!
But we don’t need sales to slow down, do we. My fave *satin* track pants are on sale in the perfect classic black – these are simply the best for school pick up/drop off, weekend errands, and easy fall outfits!! If you’re needing a softy little tee to pair with those -or just your fave jeans- this one could be amazing (loook at limoncello!).
sweater (L) | shorts (M) | this cream is so healing
ONE: Sneaking my first fall sweater purchase into a few outfits already (but only indoors lol) – it has the coolest rolled sleeves + the shoulders lay perfectly (something I’m so picky about). Also can’t stop wearing these shorts in every outfit (nvm what they’re called, that doesn’t matter).
TWO: Time to stock up on/replenish the most healing face cream ever during their sitewide sale!! Perfect for a little skin therapy after a summer of sun/pool/beach AND iconic for the upcoming colder months to keep our skin supple. While you’re there, don’t forget the magic resurfacing cream that makes you wake up looking younger (and is EPIC for acne/sun spots). After allll these years, these are still two products I buy religiously.

Oooh boy. The end-of-summer buzz is strong right now, and, like Amy, I’m feeling equal parts bummed for the return to routine (our kids finally learned how to sleep in a bit!!) and eager to get back to a bit more predictability. I feel genuinely so lucky that I get to call this work, though. Even when I’m squeezing in posts waaaay late-night because we let the girls stay up hours past their bedtime for summer hot tub sessions and movie nights (my little soda *pop*!), it never really feels like much of a chore.
Neither does combing the internet for deals on all the things I love. Like Anthro’s additional 40% off sale. When I tell you this might be the most well-stocked sale section Anthro has ever had, well. Believe me. SO many pieces that will allow us to indulge in late summer while also setting us up for a gorgeous fall. Like these floaty af jeans. Swoon. (So many more faves linked up, below.) Or these full-length, dark rinse barrel jeans at Gap that are 50% off. The silhouette is very intro-to-barrel and feels more laid-back cool than Yosemite Sam. And then Nordstrom is doing that thing where they quell any regrets you might have for not scoring NSale deals by putting tons of other good shit on sale. These are an instant shortcut to cool and would be so cute with jeans or dresses (in the silver, obviously).
ONE: Ahhhh, this dress is finally on sale at Nordstrom! It’s been such a fun dress to pack for all our mountain getaways this summer, and I’ll just keep wearing it into fall with western boots and big ol’ knit cardigans or sweatshirts into fall. (It’s also decidedly cute worn open over wide-leg jeans.) Wearing the small here, but the super customizable tie-front and adjustable straps make it very forgiving, so I could have gone with the XS too.
TWO: I was smitten with this necklace for layering before I realized it has loads of stellar reviews – and now at under $20? Big ol’ yes. It’s the perfect length (read: shorter, but not a choker) for layering with my existing favorites, too. Would make a great early xmas gift, and it’s also available in other colors if the neon isn’t your fave.
