Friends, this is a BIG post. 😜 It took Mitch and me the longest time to put together, haha, but it’s finally up on the site! The four big sales I’m shopping this weekend are: J.Crew, Nordstrom (Half-Yearly Sale), J.Crew Factory and Tuckernuck. So I rounded up my favorites from each and I’m sharing them today! A warning, though: the sales are so good this year, and I’ll admit that I included a LOT! But Mitch laid out everything really nicely, and with any hope, this guide will be a nicer shopping experience than browsing the hundreds of pages of products on the retailers’ sites. :)

Sale details:

J.Crew: Use code “WEEKEND” to take 50 percent off sale styles and 40 percent off everything else.
