Happy Friday! And happy unofficial summer! I’m so ready for warm days, lots of time outside, and a few cute new additions to my closet. (Okay…a LOT of new additions.)
Best Of The Memorial Day Sales: Editors’ Clothing, Beauty & Home Picks
The Memorial Day sales are well underway and in case you missed it, we’ve already thoroughly covered Nordstrom, J.Crew, Saks, Backcountry, the best home products, and my personal fav, our Memorial Day Cheat Sheet! We’re keeping it super easy and straightforward over there if you want to take a peek.
For today’s Sales Report, we’ve narrowed it down to the best Memorial Day sale pieces out there — many of which we already own & love! There are some recognizable picks, like these Victoria Emerson bracelets that we love to wear summer after summer. Or the pair of MOTHER denim that Shana has been calling her “pajama jeans” (need I say more?). And we can never seem to pass up a good graphic band tee. Especially one on sale.
But when it comes to new finds, these J.Crew sandals are incredibly cute. Julieta is eyeing them up, but I recently snagged them, and I’m so glad I did. And finally, Em found a deal on “the most comfortable thongs she’s ever worn“. So that has definitely piqued my interest…
LOTS more below. Wishing you a safe & happy long weekend!!

Laura’s Top Memorial Day Sales Picks
Own it, love, it, now on sale: This floaty summery Madewell linen dress just arrived the other day and it’s what I want to now live in. A great midi length, gorgeous. A forever piece. TTS. Wearing a Small. (Also available at Nordstrom, and I believe they’ll price match.)
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales, According to Me
- Parachute – Speaking of linen, I finally treated myself to cooling linen sheets (Shana raves) and I’ll never go back. I have and love the Shore color and may grab Clay, too.
- Zappos – Not just for shoes, friends! Not only my fav shorts, but these $70 jeans that look ah-mazing. Zappos often has sizes stocked when other retailers don’t.
- Bloomingdale’s – I don’t know why more ppl don’t shop here. It’s so easy ordering from them/returning and I LOVE their Aqua line!

Own it, love, it, now on sale: Victoria Emerson’s bracelets (they’re all handmade!) are my all-time favorites and they always have a great Memorial Day sale. This year everything is 50% off (more, in some cases)! The two above were my first buys and now I’m hooked–check out my favorites below.
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales, According to Me
- Colleen Rothschild – I need to restock on the Retinol Supreme Night Oil and Eye Serum that I use on a nightly basis: spend $100+ and get $25 off or $200+ and get $50 off during their Memorial Day sale!
- Dermstore – The two products I use religiously, Revitabrow and Revitalash, are 20% off during Dermstore’s summer event along with a TON of other great beauty buys. (Check out a before and after pic here to see how well these work!)
- Victoria Emerson – I LOVE these bracelets, and their Memorial Day sale does not disappoint: all wraps, cuffs, and smart watch straps are 50% off or more. There are so many good ones to choose from, but this is my favorite wrap, favorite cuff and favorite watch strap. ❤️

Linzi’s Top Memorial Day Sales Picks
Own it, love it, now on sale: The pieces I own from designer Sea feel INCREDIBLY special and are an absolute treat to wear… but are pricey, so I stalk them for when they go on sale! The Sea dress above is 40% off! My specific Sea top I’ve been wearing on repeat is sold out in almost all sizes, but this one and this one are similar (both on sale). And while we’re talking special and pretty…the cute floral print of the shoes I’m wearing above are on sale as well!
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales, According To Me
- Nordstrom – HUGE selection of three fabulous comfort shoe brands : Born, EILEEN FISHER and Ecco
- Parachute Home – They only have two sales a year! I’m buying another Venice sheet set in linen, so I don’t get as sad on laundry day when I have to switch out my current set.
- Dyson – The V8 Absolute Vacuum is a fabulous vacuum (we’ve had our V8 for more than five years). More budget-friendly than the other versions especially on sale.

Own it, love it, now on sale: This NAADAM Cashmere Ribbed Mockneck Sweater is easily the top I’ve reached for most this winter and spring — and now it’s 30% off (along with most everything else). It wears so well — and with the medium-thick knit, I’ll genuinely get four-season use out of it. One of my best buys of the past year (might finally be time to snap up the fuchsia, too).
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales, According to Me
- Anthropologie – Additional 40% off sale. This knit set is catching my eye — and could work well as separates, too.
- Verishop – Up to 80% off. Many of the best deals are final sale, but some pieces, like this Vince cashmere crew for $89 (oh, or this one! the colorrr), are foolproof enough to pull the trigger.
- West Elm – Extra 30% off all clearance. Currently contemplating this grown-up dresser for Lana’s room, but now I’m looking for an excuse to put this rug anywhere. And my favorite pillow cover is the lowest price I’ve seen.

Kat’s Top Memorial Day Sales Picks
Own it, love, it, now on sale: One of my closet staples is a crisp white button down. Finding a good one is such a challenge for me, and the two places that I have found work best for me are Madewell and Lane Bryant. The white button down I am wearing above is from LB and is currently on sale for $30 and available in sizes 12-28.
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales According to Me
- Anthropologie – 40% off sale and OMG ready to ship furniture is 20% off!
- Parachute – A TME favorite, 20% off the entire site. I have had my eye on their bedroom bundle starter kit for a long time!
- West Elm – Up to 75% off for the Memorial Day Sale! I am in desperate need of a new couch, and this is the one I have been swooning over.

Meredith’s Top Memorial Day Sales Picks
I’ve TOTEally gotten my money’s worth out of this Anthropologie tote (available in four different patterns/sayings). Scoop it up while it’s on a ridiculous markdown.
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales, According to Me
- J.Crew – This linen dress could double as a cover-up and pair perfectly with these on-trend cushy sandals.
- Saks – I don’t normally spend a lot of time on 5th Ave., but this unique knotted barrel bag is calling my name.
- Biossance – $25 off of $75 means it’s time to stock up on my fave sunscreen, cleansing oil (that doesn’t dry out your skin) and serum.

Julieta’s Top Memorial Day Sales Picks
Own it, love, it, now on sale: These Ribcage Levi’s (turn up – light wash) broke my IG this week. I wear them on the regular with sneakers, sandals or heels. The small percentage of stretch makes a huge difference and gives the perfect fit. Note: They’re super long, and I’m petite, so there were some scissors involved. 30% off with code SMILE
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales, According to Me
- Banana Republic 40% off – I just got these shorts in the mail with the matching top, and I’m obsessed.
- A&F kids – I always use Memorial Day sales to get them their summer wardrobes. My son loves these denim shorts, so I’m getting him some extra pairs.
- Saks Fifth Ave – The thrill of the hunt. I just found these ’70s Redone jeans and got them right away.

Amy’s Top Memorial Day Sales Picks
Own it, love, it, now on sale: If you’ve never tried Levi’s Wedgies, you can grab them right now for 30% off with code SMILE. They are some of my all-time fav pairs of jeans! The ankle fit is slightly tapered, but I prefer the straight leg — you can’t go wrong with either, though!
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales, According to Me
- Biossance – It’s time to stock up on my fave skin care essential.
- Alo Yoga – One of my fave winter jackets comes from here, and now I need this one, too.
- Mango – I’m always browsing this site, and the dresses are gorgeous right now!This dress looks like sunbeams, and this one would be a stunner for summer weddings and festivals. Use EXTRA30 at checkout!

Cam’s Top Memorial Day Sale Picks
Own it, love, it, now on sale: Levi’s 501 Cutoff Shorts – found at Nordstrom and Levi’s. Doesn’t matter what wash, I’ll buy any of them! I’ve had three different pairs over the last few years…and always end up reaching for them on a regular basis. I think they just get better with wear. TTS, for the most part. I wear a 27/28, depending on whether I want them a bit more fitted or looser, tad bit slouchy.
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales, According to Me
- Saks – I’ve been really into the sales at Saks this weekend (and I don’t know that I’ve ever gotten anything from them before)…I ordered a handful of really exciting things, including these designer sunglasses + cool, everyday shorts. Definitely don’t pass this one by!
- Anthropologie – It’s one of the first places I check for sales, always. This pretty blouse + floral press candle….oo la la!
- Verishop – When Verishop has sales, I usually find at least a few things I’ve been meaning to get — between their clothing, shoes and home wares…it’s an easy yes. Right now they have a big clearance sale going on —up to 80% off. I have my eye on these dusty orange long shorts. They’re very French, I think…I want! Easy to wear with a white tank and strappy sandals.

Shana’s Top Memorial Day Sales Picks
Own it, love, it, now on sale: If you haven’t yet snapped up MOTHER Denim’s pajama jeans (okfine MOTHER calls them the ‘Stunner Fray Skinny Jeans’), they’re currently on crazy sale at Saks! Next, my Jenni Kayne 100% cashmere fisherman sweater is on sale in select colors. Use code MDW20 to take 20% off the marled black or charcoal (also available in extended sizes).
The Top 3 Memorial Day Sales, According to Me
- Parachute Home – Mama needs some brand new (linen) sheets. I seriously wait all year to get new sheets (and towels!!).
- Tumi’s Semi-Annual Sale – I’ve been a longtime fan of Tumi backpacks, and have put mine through the wringer. They’re chic, almost impossibly well-made, and have exactly the right features for an uber-practical work bag. They’ve taken things up a notch with their recent collection, and the Brooklyn Backpack now includes a secret phone compartment at the top for easy access AND a zip-off bottom for shoes.
- Skin care – I’m snapping up my two Biossance favs, the Rose Oil (I use it every morning and many nights) and Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum (at night, 2x per week), as well as Colleen Rothchild’s cleansing balm and eye serum (I’ve been using both daily for years).
