Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Lay off More Staff To Save Money, Says ‘Source'
Weeks after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly let key staff members go, the couple are allegedly making more cuts. According to Page Six's exclusive report, the couple's focus on saving money amid the financial crisis has left them with a choice of laying off their comms team. The pair has also lost up to 25 staff members since they stepped down from their royal duties in 2020.
Page Six also reported that a few of these layoffs haven't been made public yet. In June, sources revealed that four important staff members parted ways with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. These include Kyle Boulia, the deputy U.S. press secretary, and Charlie Gipson, the longtime U.K. media liaison. Deesha Tank, Archewell's communications director, and Lianne Cashin, former operations head at Archewell, among others, also bid their farewell.
A royal source revealed that Prince Harry and Markle's decision to let go of staff is an 'old story.' The insider continued, 'They cycle through staff as quickly as normal people cycle through toilet paper. Milk lasts longer than their employees.'
The couple's professional successes with Netflix's 'Harry & Meghan' docuseries and 'With Love, Meghan' aren't enough to keep up with their increasing expenses. As per Page Six's report, they took out a $9.5 million mortgage and put up a $5 million deposit to purchase their $14.65 million home after their move to the U.S. They reportedly have to pay a property tax amounting to $288,000 alongside paying a portion of their 'faux foreign tours,' and footing their staff's bill.
As of now, Meredith Maines reportedly serves as the pair's chief communications officer. A source previously shared that Prince Harry and his wife's move isn't a 'strategy' but a way of survival.

Yahoo Inc. may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Read the original article on Purewow. If your bank account survived the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale, I hate to break it to you, but something bigger and better is headed your way. Yes, I'm talking about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—aka the retailer's biggest sale of the year—and if I were you, I would prepare to go all in on it. Speaking of preparing, Nordstrom just dropped a slew of preview deals across all categories (from fashion to beauty), so you can start building your wish list for the savings event right this minute. That way, when your sale tier opens (more info on that below), you won't have to waste any time browsing—and you will be ready to run to checkout before your items sell out. Just so you know, the sale opens to everyone on July 12 at 12:01 am ET and runs all the way through August 3, but Nordy Club members can get early access starting as soon as July 8. "How do I sign up," you ask? I'll get into those nitty-gritty details and everything else you need to know about the sale below—but first, find the 15 items that I (and, I imagine, almost every other Nordstrom shopper) have already added to my wish list in anticipation of the big kickoff. Want to know which buzzy products are *really* worth buying? Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds. Nordstrom Fun fact: Mother jeans are not only Meghan Markle-approved but they also have a thumbs-up from PureWow's royals expert, Rachel Bowie. Needless to say, I've been dying to pick up a pair of the brand's coveted jeans, so as soon as I found out that this beloved style will be included in the sale, I added them straight to my cart. Can you blame me? The cropped jeans are made of a soft and stretchy blend of cotton, lyocell, polyester and elastane, so they're sure to be as comfortable as they are flattering. $278; $186 at Nordstrom Nordstrom One former PureWow editor told me that these square-toe Mary Janes from Rothy's are some of the comfiest shoes she owns, so now that they're nearly $70 off, I'll definitely be picking up a pair for myself. And this deep burgundy hue? Perfection. Not to mention, they're made of a flexible knit fabric that's machine-washable, so keeping them looking as good as new should be no problem. $159; $90 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Another item my fellow PureWow editors are obsessed with? Barbour jackets—and this one's a whopping $145 off during the sale. I love that it has a longline cut that will easily pair with both jeans and dresses, and the removable hood makes it all the more versatile. Unlike some other styles from the brand, this waterproof Hebrides jacket is machine-washable, too, so there's no special upkeep involved. It comes in three colors, and features a full lining that will add some warmth when the fall weather hits. TBH, it sounds like my dream jacket, which is why I won't be skipping this deal. $425; $280 at Nordstrom Nordstrom This Natori Feathers bra seems to be everyone's favorite, and I can totally see why after reading former PureWow Associate Fashion Commerce Editor Stephanie Meraz's full review of it. "Between the soft feel of the fabric and the thin, lightweight padding that felt so malleable and non-suffocating on my skin, I almost forgot that I was even wearing a bra," she raved. A bra that feels barely-there and costs less than $50? Sign me up. From $68; $45 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Thick enough to work as a jacket but light enough to wear as a sweater, this Caslon style definitely deserves a spot in your cart. It comes in four different colors, including a nautical striped option that feels perfect for chilly summer nights and this pretty green that I could see myself wearing year-round. Another thing you should know is that it's made from 100 percent cotton, so it should feel completely breathable. Hundreds of shoppers already have their eyes on it, though, so make sure you add it to your cart or wish list now to be able to snag it right at the start of the sale. $109; $73 at Nordstrom Nordstrom PureWow readers and editors alike are obsessed with this rich-yet-lightweight face cream that left one editor's skin "radiant, blemish-free and so much more hydrated after just a few days of use," according to her review. And thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, you can snag it in a set alongside The Rich Eye Cream that was made to target your under-eyes and upper lids. The cult-fave formula uses groundbreaking stem cell technology, along with a proprietary blend of vitamins and amino acids, to support skin regeneration, per the brand. It's also chock full of other skin-loving ingredients, including low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which helps provide plumping hydration. Basically, it's the ultimate recipe for a youthful glow. There's no denying it's a pricey investment for your skin, though, so don't skip the nearly $170 in savings on this set. $510; $342 at Nordstrom Nordstrom The Tencel/linen/cotton/elastane blend of these tapered Faherty pants is sure to feel so soft and airy that they'll quickly become your go-tos from now through fall. They have a stretchy pull-on waistband and an ankle-length cut that will work well with everything from sandals to flats or sneakers. Plus, plenty of shoppers confirm just how comfortable they are. "I love these pants! They are lightweight, flattering, and extremely comfortable. After I bought the blue pants I went back the next day and bought the black ones," shared one buyer. $148; $96 at Nordstrom Nordstrom It's not every day you can score $60 in savings on a new pair of Ugg booties, so if you're in the market for a new pair for fall, you'll want to grab these before they sell out. They have the brand's signature ultra-mini cut that makes them easy to slip on and off, and the shearling spillseam adds an extra touch of coziness to their look. Just note some reviewers say that they run small, so you might want to size up when you put your order in. $170; $110 at Nordstrom Nordstrom From the watercolor-like floral print to the all-cotton fabric, gold buttons and adjustable tie at the waist, there isn't anything I don't love about this shirtdress. It can certainly be dressed up for special occasions, but the fit also appears relaxed enough to wear for a casual day out, especially with the dropped shoulders that allow for plenty of movement. And that almost $60 discount? Yeah, that's just a bonus. $148; $90 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Both Kate Middleton *and* Meghan Markle have been spotted carrying Longchamp Le Pliage totes on multiple occasions, so it's safe to say the iconic style is a worthwhile buy. Even if it wasn't princess approved, though, I'd still have my eye on this coated canvas style for its rich burgundy color, structured construction and super spacious size that makes it great for everything from travel to the gym or the office. Plus, the zippered closure means my things will be secure inside as I head from place to place. Honestly, it's no wonder the royals are obsessed, and I have a feeling you will be, too. $250; $187 at Nordstrom Nordstrom I'm obsessed with Bombas socks, and for good reason. They have comfort down pat, and thanks to their built-in cushioned tabs, you don't have to worry about blisters. Intrigued yet? Well, wait until I tell you about their brilliant design: The socks are made from a soft, comfortable Supima cotton/polyester/nylon/elastane blend that I simply never want to take off. Seriously, my feet have never been happier since I made the switch, so I can't wait to stock up. Whether or not you're already a Bombas convert, it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow suit. (P.S. This mid-ankle style is included in the sale, too, for those who prefer a higher cut.) $78; $52 at Nordstrom Nordstrom IGK has been one of my go-to brands for hair styling products for years now, and some of my favorites just so happen to be included in this set that's going to be nearly half off during the sale. The 4-in-1 prep spray is a multi-tasking detangler that provides heat protection and frizz control (a must that's always stocked in my beauty cabinet), while the blowout balm has added ingredients like shea butter to make hair extra soft before, well, blowing it out. Also in this set is the Spirulina Protein Smoothing spray, which is a heat-activated smoothing formula that does wonders for my frizzy strands. All of this for just over $50 is a seriously good deal, so jump on it while you can. $100; $53 at Nordstrom Nordstrom This colorful long-sleeve top from Farm Rio is too good to miss out on, especially if you plan on bringing the boho trend into next season. It's made from a lightweight viscose fabric, so you can easily wear it now paired with shorts or a breezy skirt, then well into fall with jeans and a cardigan layered over top. The elastic cuff sleeves and ruffled neckline add such a cute touch that is sure to make it stand out from everything else in your closet. $180; $126 at Nordstrom Nordstrom I'm in the market for some new check-in luggage, so of course I have my eye on this totally functional design from Away. It's made with so many thoughtful features that will make packing and rolling it through the airport that much easier—from the 360-degree swivel wheels to multiple handles on the top, side and underside of the suitcase. And yes, the inside has multiple interior pockets, a compression board and a water-repellent laundry bag. What more could I ask for? Perhaps the carry-on size to match. (BTW, it's the brand's first time being included in the Anniversary Sale, so I'd expect these cases to sell fast.) $395; $296 at Nordstrom Nordstrom I've been meaning to try Drybar's hair styling tools forever because they're my mom's favorites, and now that this blow dry brush is more than $50 off, I'm taking it as my sign. The heat brush is designed to add volume to your hair while also keeping it frizz-free and lowering the time it takes to dry thanks to strategically placed vents (which alone makes it worth it, in my opinion). But in case you need more convincing, you'll want to hear what this reviewer had to say: "This thing is amazing. My hair is naturally super curly, and before I would have to shower, blow dry, straighten, then curl my hair. Now, I can just shower then towel dry, put in products, and use the double shot and it gives me amazing Duchess of Cambridge hair in less than 20 minutes. I would highly recommend this to ANYONE." Yeah, this one's coming home with me. $155; $104 at Nordstrom The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins on July 8 at 12:01 am ET for Nordy Club Icons and runs through August 3. Not an Icon member? Here's when you can start shopping, whether you're a Nordy Club member or not: BTW, there's still time to gain early access to the sale if you don't want to wait to shop—just keep reading. Signing up for The Nordy Club is pretty straightforward on the Nordstrom site. To note, there are two ways you can become a Nordy Club member: You can snag yourself a Nordstrom credit card to automatically gain Influencer status and get $40 off your next purchase, which means you can start shopping on July 10, or you can simply sign up for a free membership to start building up your points. Just note that free memberships don't guarantee early access to this year's sale. Cardmembers, meanwhile, do have access to more perks, like the ability to earn points per dollar on purchases at and outside of Nordstrom to achieve an even higher status at the retailer. It's up to you which route to take (card or no card), but with the card, you can get Influencer status today, guaranteeing your chance to shop early. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a once-a-year opportunity to score massive markdowns on new arrivals and staple favorites alike. If you ask me, it's up there as one of the best and biggest shopping events of the year, since you can stock up on items for e-ver-y season without totally breaking the bank. Just to put that into perspective, top brands like Augustinus Bader, Béis, New Balance and Mother went on sale for up to 70 percent off during last year's sale. And this year's bound to be even better. After scouring the preview deals, which include rare discounts on PureWow readers' go-to Natori Feathers bra and Mother The Hustler jeans, I'm already counting down the days. Which brings us to... You mean, what shouldn't you buy? Just kidding, but if I have to choose, I'd go for fashion deals on new arrivals you can score ahead of the fall season or big ticket items like hair tools or travel bags while they're on steep markdown. After all, this may be your best opportunity to score serious deals on sought-after products before Black Friday. Here are a couple of categories you'll definitely want to pay close attention to during the sale: Yes! There's no need to have or use a Nordstrom credit card when making purchases from the retailer during the 2025 Anniversary Sale. However, if you do have a credit card (or want to sign up and get $40 off your next purchase), you'll have some benefits like early access to the sale (you'll automatically be at Influencer status as part of the Nordy Club, meaning you can shop starting July 10), credits for in-store alterations, an extra 5 percent off at Nordstrom Rack and more.

Yahoo Inc. may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Read the original article on Purewow. When you're not relaxing by the pool or giving line dancing a try, I hope you've penciled in some time to shop this season— especially now that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 (one of the *biggest* and most buzzworthy shopping events of the year) just opened for early access for Icon members. Trust me, y'all, this is one summer activity you don't want to skip. Not an Icon member? No worries. The sale opens to everyone on July 12 at 12:01 am ET and runs all the way through August 3, but you can start loading up your wish list with exclusive beauty sets, designer handbags, baby gear and more so you can prepare for your tier beforehand. However, if you have the highest Nordy Club membership status, you can begin securing designer must-haves at up to 65 percent off from the likes of Barbour, Lauren Ralph Lauren and Longchamp right this minute. No, this is not a drill. So if you want to nab unbeatable discounts on these trendy New Balance 574 sneakers ($90; $70), this wedding-ready Julia Jordan tiered dress ($149; $90) and even the TikTok-approved limited-edition Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler ($600; $500), you'd better act fast because the best stuff won't stay in stock for long. And just in case you don't know where to start, I've rounded up the 57 best early access deals to snap up before the sale opens to the public (and answered your most burning questions in the FAQ section at the bottom of this article). On your mark, get set, shop! Want to know which buzzy products are *really* worth buying? Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds. Nordstrom Not only are they Meghan Markle-approved, but Mother's famously flattering jeans also have a thumbs-up from PureWow's royals expert, Rachel Bowie. Needless to say, you can't go wrong with a coveted pair from the brand, especially this fan-favorite cropped style. It's made of a seriously soft and stretchy blend of cotton, lyocell, polyester and elastane, which should hug you perfectly in all the right places. Not to mention, they're slightly flared at the ankle (which is the only way to go this season) and have a cool frayed hem, so, yeah, they're a *must,* especially when you consider this whopping markdown. $278; $186 at Nordstrom Nordstrom I would never pass up the chance to snag a sleek Longchamp tote at a discount and, well, neither should you. Especially since the one I'm referring to here boasts an elevated coated canvas exterior that looks more expensive than the brand's classic nylon styles. It also features interior wall pockets and a top zip closure with a snap tab, making it both functional and chic. So don't be surprised if it becomes your everyday bag and go-to travel tote—after all, it was named the "It bag" of 2025 by PureWow Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth, who is obsessed with the brand's Le Pliage line. $250; $187 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Meet the underwire bra for people who hate wearing bras. This nylon/elastane garment is praised for being *so* lightweight and soft while offering comfortable support, even for larger chests. The deep plunge and molded mesh of the contour cups make it especially flattering under clothing, while delicate lace accents add a pretty touch. That said, it's no wonder PureWow's former associate fashion commerce editor gave it a glowing review. She raved, "between the soft feel of the fabric to the thin, lightweight padding that felt so malleable and non-suffocating on my skin, I almost forgot that I was even wearing a bra." Sounds up my alley, how about yours? $68; $45 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Want to get a head start on updating your fall capsule wardrobe during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? I certainly hope so, because this puff-sleeve sweater is too cute to pass up. Since it's made of a blend of wool and cotton, I bet it's also as cozy as it looks. Now, throw in that textured design and ribbed detailing, and it's certainly a step above the average autumn sweater. $98; $65 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Comfort, style and versatility come together in this classy quilted jacket, and to say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. The small details are actually really big, and I'm not just talking about the blade collar and cinched waist that make it look even more polished. From the front welt pockets to the tulip-style split hems, every accent serves a perfect purpose. It also has a longer length that covers the bum, which should really help keep the cold air out this fall and winter. Since it's designed for layering, you can also feel free to pair it with your coziest sweaters underneath. $169; $110 at Nordstrom Nordstrom If you're not already swooning over these classic kicks, you're about to be. Between their suede-accented uppers and treaded rubber soles, they're just about the most elevated sneakers you'll find on sale for as low as $70. And I don't doubt that they're super comfortable, too, as the brand is known for its performance-driven footwear. In addition to EVA cushioning at the midsole, this retro lace-up style has a removable insole, so you can replace it with a custom one if you so please. However, after reading several glowing reviews, I have a feeling you'll be satisfied with everything these stylish sneaks have going on. $90; $70 at Nordstrom Nordstrom If you've got a baby on board, you definitely won't want to drive past this deal on the top-rated Nuna car seat. Shoppers claim that it's "worth the money" and then some due to its immense versatility and dedication to safety. Suitable for children from birth through toddlerhood, the seat adjusts to ten positions and converts from back-facing to front-facing as your child grows, supporting up to 65 pounds. The five-point harness is designed to be adjusted with one hand (a blessing for parents who literally have their hands full) and setup is said to be remarkably easy. To provide extra peace of mind, it boasts an all-steel frame and impact-absorbing foam side protection. And, yes, it's also made without harsh flame-retardant chemicals—always something to look out for. $680; $510 at Nordstrom Nordstrom You definitely won't regret bringing home these fan-favorite Uggs, constructed from genuine shearling and fully lined with cozy UGGpure wool. Sure, they're great for padding around at home, but the sturdy sole also makes these way more than just house slippers. From crisp morning dog walks to school drop-offs and grocery runs, they'll keep your feet warm and supported through every activity—and temperature forecast. $100; $70 at nordstrom Nordstrom Constructed from a lightweight and sustainable Tencel modal and spandex material, this ultra-popular pajama set, which includes a short-sleeve button-up top and matching capri pants, is sure to keep you snoozing on cloud nine all year round—and you don't just have to take my word for it. One shopper says, "The fabric is so comfy and cooling. They have the perfect amount of stretch and are flattering because they don't stick to any rolls or lumps." (P.S. These pajamas are also available in a shorts set for those who sleep extra hot.) $75; $48 at Nordstrom Nordstrom I've been using the cult-favorite Rich Cream for over two years, and my skin has never felt or looked more radiant, moisturized and blemish-free. How is this even possible? Well, you see, the formula utilizes stem cell technology to help the skin regenerate, along with a significant dose of peptides and hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate. Many reviewers of the product (including a former PureWow editor) also say they've noticed the reduced appearance of dark spots and firmer, smoother skin after using it regularly. Since this jumbo bottle has 3.38 fluid ounces (or 100 milliliters) of the moisturizer, it'll last for months—and at this price, it's worth stocking up on. $550; $413 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Beachy boho meets Amalficore in this mini belted beauty (that I honestly can't believe is priced at less than $200 right now). The paisley swirls have a distinctly Mediterranean feel, IMO, blending florals and seashells in haute harmony. And who doesn't love a flirty frock that can be adjusted with a belt to snatch in your shape? I'll wait, but not for long, because the fact that this number is also made from 100 percent airy cotton means that it'll be gone in a flash. $268; $185 at Nordstrom Nordstrom When you see "Barbour" on the label, you know that you can expect elegance and functionality, and this polyamide jacket from the Kate Middleton-approved brand won't let you down. The diamond quilting doesn't just add sporty style, but also enhances the jacket's comfort and warmth. As for the corduroy collar? It adds the perfect touch of royal-approved, vintage charm. Meanwhile, side slits "give you freedom of movement," per one buyer, while its lightweight construction makes it the perfect piece for layering and transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall. $295; $190 at Nordstrom Nordstrom I'm a huge fan of Bombas socks, and for good reason. Between their honeycomb arch support system and anti-blister cushioned tabs, they truly have comfort down pat. Intrigued yet? Well, wait until I tell you about their quality materials. The socks are made from soft and breathable long-staple yarns sourced from top-tier cotton producers, so they feel and fit better than other options. Seriously, my feet have never been happier since I made the switch, so I'm stocking up on this six-pack right this minute. Whether or not you're already a Bombas convert, it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow suit. (Trust me, your feet will thank you.) $78; $52 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Whether you want a smooth blowout or a head full of cascading waves, this multi-purpose tool from Dyson will get the job done. PureWow's former beauty director reviewed the OG Dyson Airwrap and was not disappointed. So, when it comes to this *upgraded* version—which constantly measures and adjusts airflow temperature to help prevent heat damage—I don't doubt that it will exceed your expectations. While it features the same innovative Coanda airflow technology (which utilizes two jets of air to smooth out strands as it attracts and self-wraps them around the barrel), it also boasts a Bluetooth-enabled curling feature for one-touch, personalized styling through the MyDyson app. This limited-edition set also comes with six attachments to cover all your hair styling needs. The storage case, cleaning brush and *rare* discount are just added bonuses, so if you want to achieve salon-quality styling from home (and on vacation), you know what to do. $600; $500 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Ever since Zendaya became On's brand ambassador, I've been itching to get my hands on a pair of its cult-favorite sneakers. Thankfully, this editor-beloved pair is up for grabs for just under $100 during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida is a huge fan of On sneakers, and describes an earlier version of this model as "sleek, lightweight and springy," so I can imagine this updated style checks all those boxes and then some. She also confirms that the signature CloudTech cushioning is as comfortable as can be on both long walks and short sprints, so runners—or Hot Girl Walkers—these are for you. $140; $100 at nordstrom Nordstrom Everyone needs a sweater vest (or five) in their closet, and this '90s turtleneck is the perfect one to add to your collection. Cozy up in its acrylic, polyester, nylon, wool and spandex fabric, which is likely as plush as it looks, and you might never want to take it off. In that case, you might want to grab the machine-washable knit in both colors while it's still in stock for just $65. $85; $65 at Nordstrom Nordstrom This serum isn't new to me and my fellow PureWow editors. In fact, ever since it came into our lives, we've had way better skin days. I'd credit its potent formula featuring a concentration of lactic acid to exfoliate away dead skin cells, lemongrass and licorice to brighten any discoloration and prickly pear extract to help soothe and calm irritation, so users are left with a more even-toned complexion overall. The ingredients may also help to boost collagen production, according to the brand. In other words, if there's any skincare product you'll definitely want to buy during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it's this one. Because did I mention that this jumbo size has a value of $284? That's nearly $100 in savings, people, and it'll last you for-ever. $284; $185 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Perfect for a summer wedding, cocktail party or fancy resort dinner, this mock-neck dress features a bold floral print that's sure to look as good in person as it does in photos. Not to mention, the swishy satin style has a back keyhole with a hook-and-eye closure and a removable waist tie, allowing you to adjust the fit to your liking. As if it can't get any better, it's also machine-washable, so you can make it your go-to for special occasions without having to run back and forth to the dry cleaners. $149; $90 at Nordstrom Nordstrom In the market for some new Mary Janes? A former PureWow editor swears this pair from one of Meghan Markle's favorite shoe brands is soft, lightweight *and* breathable. "Never in my life have I worn a flexible and more comfortable ballet flat until now—I'm truly in awe over the quality," she gushed in her review. Thanks to their signature fabric upper (which is made from recycled plastic bottles), they're also machine-washable, so you can make them look brand new again in no time. Right now, the Mary Janes are up for grabs in several colors for less than $95, so choose wisely or buy them all—I'm not judging! $159; $90 at Nordstrom Nordstrom The only thing better than one Augustinus Bader product? Four products, of course—and that's just what you'll get in this skincare set that's exclusive to Nordstrom. It features a mini bottle of The Cream (which is a lighter weight version of its famous Rich Cream), a mini serum, a mini eye cream and mini face cream mask, which are all formulated with the brand's proprietary TFC8, or Trigger Factor Complex, a nourishing blend of amino acids, vitamins and peptides. Let's just say that if you want to take your skincare routine to next level, you'll scoop up this exclusive set before other shoppers beat you to it. $232; $98 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Nodding to the brand's beloved vintage styles, these cheeky high-waisted jeans come in a bright blue wash with minimal stretch in order to hug your curves and accentuate your booty. Say no more, right? Well, I'll add that these flattering pants also feature a slightly cropped hem, so you can show off a little ankle this summer. $98; $65 at Nordstrom Nordstrom I instantly fell in love with this shirtdress, from the sleek striped print to the functional front button closure. However, what really sold me is the drawcord toggle, which allows you to customize the fit by cinching in the waist, enabling you to achieve an hourglass shape. I can go on about the sophisticated spread collar and comfy cotton material that should feel breathable, but you probably want to add the work- and happy hour-ready midi to your cart already, right? I'll leave you to it. $148; $90 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Hanky Panky can always be counted on for sexy-yet-comfy undergarments, and these won't disappoint. For one thing, the stretchy wide band and mid-rise of the pretty lace thong prevent uncomfortable digging and awkward lines under your outfit. Additionally, it features a soft, Supima cotton-lined gusset in the area that matters most. They're also made from 100 percent nylon, so although this underwear looks delicate, it's sure to be durable. By the way, you can get four of the elegant lace thongs for just $64 right now, so I would stock up if I were you. from $24; $18 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Have a few vacations lined up this summer? TBH, even if you don't, you won't want to miss the deal on this carry-on roller. Former PureWow Wellness Director Sarah Stiefvater took it for a spin (no pun intended), and was won over by its built-in weight limit indicator that lets you know if you over-packed *before* you get to the airport. It also has more interior organizational features than most luggage, including multiple zippered compartments and two laundry bags (as well as a TSA lock and 360-degree spinner wheels). And don't even get me started on how chic and glossy it looks, from its durable PC shell to its extendable trolley handle, which even boasts a soft hand cushion for optimal style and comfort. Basically, it's the carry-on of my jet-setting dreams, and probably yours, too. $268; $200 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Sarah Jessica Parker and former editor Stephanie Meraz have something in common: They both love Dr. Scholl's sandals, and this popular pair has high potential to win you over, too, with its cute look and comfy fit. One shopper wore them to a festival and claimed their feet felt great the whole time. Not that I'm surprised; they feature a textile upper, an adjustable strap with a buckle closure and a 2-inch heel height, which provides height without compromising comfort. They'll also match with almost any outfit, so get ready to wear them on repeat this summer and possibly even next summer, because, as one reviewer says, they're designed so well that they should last for years. $80; $70 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Barefoot Dreams throws have a stamp of approval from PureWow editors, readers and quite a few celebrities. The brand's famous CozyChic blanket even received a 95 out of 100 in a PureWow100 review. As Senior Editor Dana Dickey describes the microfiber piece, "[It's] generously proportioned, [and] its knit fabrication has just enough give to seem like it's hugging you." Meanwhile, Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay has raved, "It's soft, warm and stretchy, while still being incredibly lightweight. On that note, it's no wonder even Joanna Gaines has called it her "adult baby blanket." Trust, you'll be so glad you brought this pill-resistant ribbed version home in time for the chilly months. $168; $112 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Although it's made without an underwire, elastic band or any seams to speak of, this magical little bralette offers good support for all chest sizes, per reviewers. If I had to guess, I'd say it's due to its soft, removable cups and effortlessly form-fitting, four-way stretch nylon/elastane material, which is so smooth it's practically invisible under clothing. It also features adjustable convertible straps that you can wear normally or cross-back depending on your OOTD. Some happy buyers say that the bra is *so* comfy that they sometimes forget they're even wearing it. $49; $29 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Former PureWow Assistant Editor Delia Curtis tested this Meghan Markle-approved scent for a PureWow100 and described it as "a cross between a hike in California's Redwood forest and a lengthy dip in the sea." Sounds like a must to me, especially since this duo comes with a full-size bottle of the cologne, featuring notes of ambrette seed, sea salt and sage. It also comes with a travel-size bottle, which I'm happy to report lasts for months and can fit right into your purse, so a spray of this stuff is always within reach. $256; $170 at Nordstrom Nordstrom I'm already dreaming of slipping my feet into these fluffy Ugg slippers, constructed from genuine shearling with a sturdy rubber sole. Worried they may make yours too toasty? Don't be—just hear what this buyer has to say: "They are comfortable, super cute and do not make my feet sweat at all. I live in 100 degrees every day, and I promise you I wear them in my house, walk outside really quick, and come back in, and I'm not sweating." Need I say more? $90; $65 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Whether you want to minimize dark circles or work on hyperpigmentation, this Sunday Riley serum is the recipe for a brighter and more even-toned complexion. Similar to the editor-approved C.E.O. glow oil, the product is packed with vitamin C, which has all sorts of proven skincare benefits, including helping to reduce redness and promote collagen production. And what if I told you that you could begin seeing improvements in as little as a week, as so many fans of the serum have reported? If that doesn't convince you to stock up, perhaps you'll be persuaded by its purported anti-aging effects, which include firmer, bouncier skin overall. Or maybe all you need to hear is that this *huge* bottle is under $200 RN. $284; $185 at Nordstrom Nordstrom This refined style from Coach is one of the most gorgeous bags I've ever seen. Polished pebbled leather adds texture to the otherwise minimalist purse, which also features a removable strap that allows it to be worn as a crossbody. An interior zip pocket and exterior slip pocket provide the perfect spots for your ID and cash, while a turnlock closure ensures that your essentials stay safe on the go. As a chic bonus, the curved flap bag is available in several versatile colors, including this rich merlot that's just as inviting as a glass of wine. $395; $230 at Nordstrom Nordstrom While most barn jackets are marked by their boxy (and sometimes bulky) silhouettes, this Lauren Ralph Lauren take on the style gives it a sporty, sophisticated update with its tailored fit and diamond quilting. Snap tabs on the sides allow you to accentuate your waist even further, while a faux-leather trim supplies some of the brand's signature equestrian flair. The polyester style also features a recycled polyester fill, ensuring that you both look good and stay warm when fall arrives. $200; $130 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Come rain or shine, these knee-high boots have got you (and your feet) totally covered. Not only are they waterproof (as reviewers confirm), but they also feature a rubber sole to prevent slipping and sliding, even in wet weather. Details like a 2.5-inch block heel, side zip closure and squared toe ensure easy-on comfort; better yet, reviewers say they fit their calves perfectly. One happy buyer shares, "This is the first pair of boots that fit my calves comfortably. They are absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. The heel is modern and very comfortable." Now that they're on sale for under $150 in several colors, it's the perfect time to join the fan club. $220; $140 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Dreaming of longer lashes? Meghan Markle swears by this serum, and so do our editors. It's formulated with peptides, biotin, lipids and green tea extracts, which purportedly work together to condition, strengthen and protect your lashes so they stay on fleek. The formula is also meant to improve the flexibility and shine of your natural strands, so you can say bye-bye to falsies and hello to longer, thicker lashes. One tube also lasts up to six months, so since this dream duo comes with two, you'll be covered for a whole year! $200; $100 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Here's why these cuffed jeans are worth the price tag: They're made of cotton, polyester, recycled cotton, and spandex, meaning they should feel soft and have good stretch while still hugging you beautifully. However, it's the trendy wide legs and cuffed hems that make them worth ditching your go-to pair for. So, if you want to look extra cool this summer and beyond, do yourself a favor and secure these jeans, featuring classic five-pocket styling and a zip and button closure. $119; $79 at Nordstrom Nordstrom I heard you're looking for a blazer to wear year-round. Well, look no further than this sleek style from Open Edit. It's meant to have an oversized fit, so you don't feel restricted at any point during the day, and is made of polyester, which is known for its slightly silky feel, so you shouldn't overheat (or freeze) in the office. It also has a one-button closure, front flap pockets and notched lapels—i.e. all the signature features of a classic blazer. It is definitely work-ready, but I imagine you'll end up rocking it outside the office, too. It's honestly that fabulous. $149; $99 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Love the Capri Blue Volcano candle that has one of the best citrusy and sweet scents? Well, guess what? You don't have to wait to enjoy it when you get home. This portable and cordless smart diffuser—designed to fill your car with your favorite fragrances—comes with a Capri Blue Volcano insert that offers up to 15 hours of scent, so you can look forward to vanilla, tropical fruit and citrus-filled car rides. $85; $57 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Hoping to channel the tenniscore fashion trend? This nylon and elastane skort will make you want to set up a doubles match, stat. And don't be fooled by its short hem—it's made to be ultra-functional in sport mode, with built-in shorts and SPANXshape technology that supposedly provides "medium compression and targeted shaping" as you hustle on (and off) the court, per the brand. The moisture-wicking skort also has secret drop-in pockets, so I won't blame you if you pick it up in both colors. After all, you'll get plenty of play out of each of 'em. $88; $59 at Nordstrom Nordstrom PureWow SEO Editor Marissa Wu reviewed several Diptyque perfumes, and this scent is the one that surprised her the most. "The first notes are smokey and transport you to hazy late nights in the bar," she explained in her review. "As it dries down, Orphéon gets woodier, evoking the bar, but retains a sweetness I chalk up to the tonka bean. It finishes as a delicate, smoky, floral vanilla that makes me think of strands of pearls, tweed Chanel jackets and Sunday lunch during springtime." Needless to say, this Diptyque perfume is likely unlike anything you've smelled before, and you'll receive a cleansing hand and body gel to accompany it for $115. $160; $115 at Nordstrom Nordstrom This nylon duffle bag—which is no stranger to TikTok—has more pockets than you could ever dream of, so if you struggle to stay organized, you may have just met your match. Plus, it has a structured silhouette featuring a flat base and protective metal feet, so in a test of durability, it should pass with flying colors. And while some duffle bags can be hard to carry, this one comes with an adjustable, removable crossbody strap, so you can get ready to travel in style and ease. $158; $115 at Nordstrom Nordstrom The smooth leather upper and lining paired with crest-embellished hardware on these slide sandals are enough to get my attention, but more importantly, I love the fact that they have a contoured footbed. You too? Well then, I don't have to tell you to add them to your cart now. They're available in several colors, which will match any outfit, so don't wait too long to buy them if you're interested. $295; $200 at Nordstrom Nordstrom This Dior set is selling fast, so I'll be quick: It comes with not one, but three of the designer brand's most coveted makeup products—including the Diorshow 24H mascara, Diorshow Maximizer 4D lash primer serum and Addict lip glow balm, which can be used together or separately to take your glam to the next level. You'll also get a cute pink cosmetic bag, which you can use to store your new products or other small items. And you thought the perfect makeup set didn't exist... $94; $73 at Nordstrom Nordstrom If you ask me, you can never have enough comfy shackets. Now that this cozy fleece option with a drawstring hood is up for grabs for just $33, you can probably guess what I'm about to tell you: Buy it in as many colors as you can! As one reviewer explains, "It's not too big; it has that nice oversized shacket look to it, and I love it. I can wear my thicker sweaters and long-sleeved shirts underneath for warmth. I love the fact it has a hood as well. Since it is fleece, I'll definitely be using it as a layering piece in the fall/winter as well." BTW, it's machine-washable, so you really can wear it on repeat (and trust, you're going to want to). $49; $33 at Nordstrom Nordstrom If you can't resist buying an exclusive makeup set during this sale, you're not alone. I'm eyeing this limited-edition lipstick keychain from Carolina Herrera that can also be used as a purse charm. The set features two Fabulous Kiss Blur matte refills in Hot Nude and Uptown Queen that can be topped with the Fabulous Kiss lipstick cap in Red Tartan, which won't go unnoticed when you take it out of your purse. One shopper says they love this lipstick, and it has a great texture. So, whether you're looking for a new shade or not, you may want to consider scooping up this set, which has a total value of $146, but is currently available for under $100! No, I'm not kidding. $146; $95 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Parents who've used this coveted convertible stroller have nothing but good things to say about it. "It is easy to fold and unfold, the ride is smooth and I love that you can add accessories to welcome new family additions down the line. So much room on the bottom to put diaper bags, etc. and the quality just feels great," writes one fan of the Vista V3. It features a multi-position recline, an adjustable handlebar and wheels with reflective trims so you and your baby stay visible at night. It also protects your precious cargo with a UPF 50+ canopy. As far as bang for your buck? You can use this baby from birth 'til your kid reaches 50 pounds, so it's in it for the long haul. $1,200; $900 at Nordstrom Nordstrom High waist? Check. Stretchy? Check. Moisture-wicking material that's ideal for working up a sweat? Check! If you think these polyester and spandex leggings can't get any better, I've got news for you. In addition to being "smooth and incredibly soft," these workout/brunch/lounge pants also "wash well and wear without getting baggy," according to one happy shopper. $69; $35 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Fans of Olaplex will tell you that the brand's products have transformed their strands in the best way, from reviving heat- and dye-damaged hair to moisturizing dried-out locks and banishing frizz. So it's no wonder they're head-over-heels for this set, which comes with everything you need to bring your hair back to life. Not limited to full-size bottles of the brand's Bond Maintenance shampoo and conditioner (because you'll also get travel-size versions so you can keep your hair looking good on vacation). While the set has a total value of $96, it's currently available for just under $65, so I wouldn't be surprised if it sold out at lightning speed. $96; $64 at Nordstrom Nordstrom While you never need an excuse to splurge on some bling, the fact that this gorgeous diamond bezel bracelet is nearly $300 off is as good a reason as any to snag it. The dazzling 0.50ct lab-created diamonds are set on a chain crafted from sterling silver, which comes plated in 18K gold vermeil. It's fancy but not flashy, making it ideal for everyday wear, and it's the perfect size to layer with other bracelets. $895; $599 at Nordstrom Nordstrom After my colleague Wu gave me the 411 on Margaux shoes, I've been dying to get my hands—well, feet—on a pair. Fortunately, these gorgeous leather boots are available on sale, but only for a limited time. So, here's what you need to know: Shoppers say these shoes accommodate wider feet and feel as comfy as sneakers thanks to their plush foam padding, so there's really no question whether or not they were made for walkin'. And since their thick heel clocks in at 2.5 inches, they'll give you a little more height this fall and winter. Don't even get me started on the pointed-toe shape, which makes them extra fashionable. $445; $298 at Nordstrom Nordstrom While this high chair set may be pricey, you can be assured it has enough bells and whistles to make it worth the splurge, including an improved harness with a two-click buckle. It can also be easily adjusted to fit babies, toddlers, little kids and even adults—yes, the base transforms into a regular chair that anyone can use. But, as PureWow Executive Editor Alexia Dellner says, "What truly sets this chair apart is its ergonomic design." As she explained in her review, it allows your baby to move freely "while being supported and safe." And since you can save $113 on it now, I'd say it calls for the investment. $449; $336 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Wrap yourself in luxury with this knit scarf that's made from cashmere, which one buyer confirms is as warm as you would expect. It has a generous cut that's thicker and longer than other scarves (measuring 80 inches long and 28 inches wide), allowing you to drape it over your shoulders as a shawl or fold it lengthwise for a thinner look around the neck. So, will it become your companion on chilly airplanes and in cold offices? I sure think so. $129; $86 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Want to rejuvenate your skin in two easy steps? When used daily, these Alpha Beta peel packets are formulated to even out your complexion and deliver a glow that you can see from across the room. How do they do it? They're soaked with skin-resurfacing glycolic and lactic acids, which the brand says can also help with the reduction of fine lines. Angela Pares, PureWow's VP of Design and Branded Content, put the Extra Strength version (which is included in this set) to the test and noticed a difference in her skin texture after the first use (no exaggeration). As she shared in her review, "[My skin] felt smoother, but not tight like it once had with my old scrubs." Since they share the same core ingredients, I have no doubt that the 30 original peels, combined with 60 of the Extra Strength ones, will become instant faves in your rotation. (Yep, you get a whopping *90* treatments in this kit, people!) $245; $153 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Who doesn't love toasting their tootsies in a pair of fuzzy socks? Personally, I could wear 'em year-round, especially when the AC is blasting in the summertime, and these heavenly soft options from Barefoot Dreams are the ones I'd reach for. This reviewer agrees: "Not only do they keep my feet warm, they are thick enough to provide a slight amount of cushion on my tender feet [when] walking on hardwood floors." This comes with a pair of the polyester/spandex socks in two different colors that the brand says will hold up in the washer *and* dryer. $38; $25 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Prefer a baby-powered and battery-free bouncer? This foldable one is suitable for children from 8 to 29 pounds. First and foremost, it's ergonomically designed, so you can bet it'll support their back, neck and head as it rocks gently with their every movement. Plus, it has three adjustable positions, so your little one can be as comfortable as can be. Once your child is over 29 pounds, you can even flip the washable cover to convert it into a comfy seat. So, yeah, you'll get your money's worth and then some, though you can't put a price tag on your baby's comfort. $295; $221 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Moisturizing body washes are hard to find, but thankfully, Abby Hepworth (PureWow's Fashion Editor) has the 411 on this cult favorite pick from Nécessaire. It's amassed millions of views on TikTok alone, and it's not just because it has a non-stripping formula that's meant to support your skin's natural pH levels and barrier function. As Hepworth notes, "The body wash feels so lovely and lathers just the right amount without turning into a full-on bubble skin definitely feels well moisturized after using it. [Plus,] a little goes a long way, so you know the bottle will last you for a while, and you really get your money's worth.' While it's formulated with nourishing ingredients like marula, cacay and meadowfoam oils, along with a slew of vitamins, it smells like a eucalyptus dream, so prepare to smell extra fresh this summer and far beyond. $28; $24 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Barefoot Dreams' CozyChic robes have previously appeared on Oprah's list of favorite things, so you know they must be as soft and luxurious as they seem. This machine-washable version is on sale during the Nordstrom event, and there's no doubt it's the perfect pick for ultimate relaxation. Made of nylon and rayon, it's meant to make you feel like you're wrapped up in a cozy, plush throw, whether you just stepped out of the shower or are lounging around for a lazy afternoon. Even better, it has roomy front patch pockets, so you can carry your phone around, and an adjustable belt tie to keep it firmly in place. $168; $113 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Always running late because you're struggling with your hair? Allow me to introduce you to Drybar Double Shot, which brushes, dries and styles your strands all at the same time. You'll always beat the clock with the help of this baby, which has a round barrel, three temperature settings and special ionic technology to reduce frizz and give your 'do the silkiest finish, every time. Reviewers rave about how lightweight and easy to handle it is, and claim that it gives them salon-worthy blowouts in less than 20 minutes. $155; $104 at Nordstrom I'm a Minimalist—Here are 13 Items I'm Buying for Summer PureWow's editors and writers have spent more than a decade shopping online, digging through sales and putting our home goods, beauty finds, wellness picks and more through the wringer—all to help you determine which are actually worth your hard-earned cash.
