Second to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, the half-yearly is the happiest time of the year! This is the magical time of year when the bigwigs decide to take pity on us shoppers and slash their prices up to 75% off! The sale can be overwhelming so I dug through an obscene amount of pages (#ineedalife) and put together a few top picks separated into categories.

amaz.jpegI swear the retail gods keep making sales so I go permanently broke. I’ve found so many good deals this week and my carts are chock full! Check out what’s currently in my cart and making me dream about hitting that glorious “checkout” button.

First off, Macy’s is having an incredible sale. Not only are most items on sale but they are also an extra 20% off w/ code DAD + free shipping over $49. Here’s what’s currently in my cart or you can shop the whole sale here.

  1. Kensie Pom Pom Top – This top is seriously adorable. The pom poms give it just that extra touch of cuteness. ($26.39 w/ code DAD)
  2. Vince Camuto Lace Up Heels (coupon excluded but 50% off!)
  3. Scalloped Top – Stitch Fix sells an incredibly similar top (Papermoon Violeta) that was extremely popular. This one looks almost exactly the same and is much more affordable! ($28.79 w/ code DAD)
  4. Chambray Dress – This dress is just so cute that it really doesn’t need any description. ($54.24 w/ code DAD)

Saks Off 5th Avenue is also having a great sale this week. They’re offering an extra 20% off all made in the USA items w/ code USA20. Unfortunately nothing in my cart applies for this sale but everything I picked is still a great deal!  Shop my picks below or check out the entire sale here.

  1. Pistola Crimson Pants – ($29.99) I love this brand of jeans! Now, I know what you’re thinking…maroon is more of a fall color than summer. And you would be right, but fall will come again! It can be incredibly difficult to find a pair of maroon pants in the fall so why not stock up now?
  2. Vigoss White Cropped Jeans ($39.99) – This is another brand of jeans I seriously love! I’ve been looking for a cropped pair of white jeans and these fit the bill!
  3. Vigoss Cropped Jeans – ($29.99) – Have I mentioned I love this brand of jeans?

Last but certainly not least is my Nordstrom cart. Since there is always a good sale at Nordstrom, there is ALWAYS something sitting in my cart. This week I wanted to put together an outift. I think the striped tee with the shorts and sandals will look great together!

  1. Halogen Flutter Sleeve Top – ($23.40) I love flutter sleeves and stripes so this top was the perfect combination!
  2. Articles of Society Shorts – ($29.40) I love this brand of jeans so I’m assuming I’ll love the shorts just as much!
  3. Bobeau Bell Sleeve Top – ($29.40) I’m a total sucker for anything bell sleeved.
  4. Dolce Vita Sandals ($44.96) – I have recently become obsessed with this color and since these are now 40% off, I think I have to have them!

And there you have it, folks! What do you think of my picks?

I find men very difficult to shop for and find it even more difficult to shop for my dad. My dad makes it especially hard because he loses his s**t when he gets a gift card so that’s always a non-option. It’s also hard to find affordable dad gifts so I put together this list of gifts under $50 to help you out!

1. Polo Tee – I think every dad needs a good polo tee for those golf days. 40% off and less than $27!
2. Pilsner Glass – For the beer lover. 33% off and less than $24!
3. Gingham Dress Shirt – For the dapper dad. 40% off and less than $29!
4. BBQ Tools – For the griller. On sale for less than $32!
5. Funny Socks – For the dad who loves funny socks, these are so cute! Under $10!

2. Ice Cream Spoon – For the ice cream lover (like my dad!) $15.99
3. Guitar Picks – For the musical dad. $7.99
4. Personalized Hammer – For the handyman and dad who can fix anything. $13-$15

If you’re wondering what I decided to get my dad this year, the answer is this raft. He’s a huge camper and spends a lot of time in the lake drinking beers so I thought this raft was perfect! PLUS it’s valued at $250 and reduced to $45 shipped with code BDMARINA617. You can grab one here
