Memorial Day Sale Guide and Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Finds

Let’s hear it for long weekends, sunshine-filled plans, and a serious excuse to treat yourself. Memorial Day is the unofficial kick-off to summer—and the official start of some of the best sales of the season. In this post, I share the some of the biggests sales to check out this Memorial weekend. Call it a short Memorial Day Sale Guide for fashion, home and wellness. Let’s not forget the Nordstrom Anniversary too.

While we all love an extra day off and a good excuse to eat chips and guac before noon, it’s important to remember why this holiday exists. Memorial Day is a time to honor the heroes who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason we get to enjoy the freedoms—and yes, even the backyard shenanigans—we sometimes take for granted.

If you’ve been eyeing a new dress, a skincare refresh, or dreaming of redoing your patio—now’s the time. I’ve rounded up the best Memorial Day sales from brands I love and trust (plus a few you might just fall in love with). Let the savings—and the shopping—begin! Affiliate links make shopping easy.
