As you may already know, I’m not exactly a big sale shopping advocate. It’s a major cause of buyers remorse and too often sale purchases end up unworn and wasting space. But once in a while there’s a seriously good one that’s worth checking out. In this case it’s the Nordstrom Memorial Day Sale (on now until May 31). In Canada we don’t often have major holiday sales the way the US does so it’s kind of a novelty when we get to reap the benefits up here.

Most often with sales I find that pickings are slim at best and usually not a lot of great staples or classics make it. BUT this one is a different story. There are lots of essentials to be found that would be great all summer and even year round. I’ve put together my top 18 picks from the Nordstrom sale to give you an idea of what’s available and save you some digging. A ton of these items are under $50 and even with our crumby Canadian dollar 40% off ain’t bad! With that I wish you happy shopping!
