OMG, the Famous Doona Liki S3 Trike Is $70 Off for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Read the original article on Purewow.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has finally arrived, and as far as deals go, our editors always keep an eye out for whenever Doona is on sale—especially when it comes to the Doona Liki S3 Trike ($280; $210). This popular stroller converts into a tricycle, and it's garnered such a fan following that I'm convinced it's going to sell out quickly. So, if you aren't a Nordy Club member already to access the sale, now's the time to join.

In case you don't know, the official sale kicks off for everybody on July 12, but you can start shopping earlier, depending on your membership tier level. Here's how that breaks down:
Icons: Shop from July 8 through July 11
Ambassadors: Shop from July 9 through July 11
Influencers: Shop from July 10 through July 11
Everyone (including non-members): Shop from July 12 through August 3
Not only is the Doona Liki S3 Trike celebrity-approved, it's also loved by our editors, who first reviewed it in 2020. At the time, Rachel Bowie, PureWow's senior director of special projects and royals, wrote, "This convertible piece is designed for use from 10 months to three years old. You start off with 'parent mode' (10 to 18 months) or 'push mode' (10 to 24 months), which allows you to lock the pedals and steer, as you would a stroller, with your child still feeling like they're the one in control."
She added: "Next comes 'tricycle mode.' This was my son's first tricycle experience. Yes, he's two (aka ready for 'tricycle mode'), but I was a touch nervous, so we eased into things. He loved it the minute he sat down, even though he wasn't the one in control…yet. Speaking of control, from the parent perspective, that's the number one perk; The steering system gives it the feel of a traditional (easy-to-push) stroller."
Five years later, Bowie still can't stop talking about it, raving, "I'd say that the best thing about is it truly the lifespan and flexibility —the fact that it can go from a stroller with mom or dad pushing to a tricycle-style experience where the child is totally independent makes it a great investment. I also like that even though a parent is pushing, there is still some autonomy for the kid (i.e., they're at the 'wheel'). During my test, I was also impressed by how smooth the ride was in every format. And it comes with a sun cover and storage, too."
Nordstrom
This convertible trike is a great entertainment and learning system for your little one. Not only can they feel like big kids riding around on a bike, but they can learn how to pedal and steer all by themselves. And with the price currently slashed by $70, there is no better time than now to pick one up.

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.

Snap Up Designer Handbags from Coach, Rebecca Minkoff & More at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
PureWow editors select every item that appears on this page, and some items may be gifted to us. Additionally, PureWow may earn compensation through affiliate links within the story. All prices are accurate upon date of publish. You can learn more about the affiliate process here. You can learn more about that process here. Yahoo Inc. may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Read the original article on Purewow. Longchamp. Coach. JW Pei. Handbags from these and tons of other fan-favorite brands are up to 40 percent off during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale designer handbag edit. This is not a drill—but there is a catch. To access these bargains now, you'll need to have a Nordstrom credit card or be a member of the Nordy Club. (It's free to join, and card holders are automatically enrolled.) Even though the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will be open to the general public—non-cardmembers included—as of July 12, inventory is limited, so it's worth checking out ASAP (and definitely before the sale ends on August 3). Here's when you can shop: Here are the bags I've singled out as totally worth it—investment items even at full price—but on sale, they're too good not to add to cart. I'm talking about the Coach North Leather Tote (was $395, now $250), Longchamp's classic Le Pliage tote (was $250, now $187) and the Veronica Beard Leather Top Handle Bag (was $598, now $400), just for starters. And remember—you can't beat Nordstrom's shipping and return policy. Enjoy free standard shipping—the estimated delivery date is noted on the product page and at checkout. And returns are free in store or by mail—just print a label at home or show your QR code at a USPS or FedEx location. I'm a Fashion Editor & These Are My Top Picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Nordstrom Longchamp's iconic Le Pliage is indispensable for chic travel, whether you're commuting to the office or jetting off on vacation. I've had mine for years and as a tote bag enthusiast, I confidently say this is one of the most versatile bags in my closet. The leather-trimmed nylon tote is on sale in a cheerful pomegranate shade, is water-resistant and folds flat in your luggage. This iteration comes in a very trendy plum red. $250; $187 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Nothing screams '90s more than a big, slouchy hobo bag. If you really want to dive into the bohemian aesthetic, consider this Rebecca Minkoff suede hobo, complete with tassels and top stitching in an earthy maple brown. It's got two genius side zip exterior pockets for the essentials: phone, wallet, keys. I hate rummaging through my bag like I'm Mary Poppins, wondering why I can't find my keys as I sweat in the unbearable heat. Problem solved. The handle has Southwestern-inspired top stitching, while the lined interior has three additional pockets. $398; $250 at Nordstrom Nordstrom OK, I lied. The only thing that screams the naughties more than a hobo bag is a baguette bag à la Lorelei Gilmore, and I'm pretty sure she would have approved of this stylish Coach number. It's available in four colors, including a splashy Merlot, with the signature 'C' logo on the flap. I appreciate the removable crossbody strap so that you can convert the bag into a nighttime purse, while keeping it casual during the day. There are two pockets, one exterior and one interior, and the bag has a textured, pebble finish. $395; $230 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Both PureWow Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth and I have been toting around Naghedi's woven St. Barths bags for some time, and we're smitten. The woven texture is a classic wardrobe staple, and both the medium tote and St. Barths Petit Tote (was $225, now $168) are on sale in an alluring—but still neutral—pine hue. (Yes, I classify green as a neutral because it's everywhere and goes with every color in nature!) The bags are made from soft neoprene fabric. Though unlined, there is an insert for the floor of the bag to help it hold its shape and prevent everything from crumbling into the center when you pick it up, which I appreciate. The smaller iteration also comes with a removable crossbody strap that I like to stow in the tote—it's surprisingly roomy given the size. The only caveat is that you can't load down the bag too much, since the material will stretch out of shape. $285; $213 at Nordstrom Nordstrom While not a handbag, I'd be remiss not to include the past year's hottest handbag accessory: a handbag charm. Maison de Sabré has cute fruit charms resembling peaches and oranges made from the brand's upcycled leather, finished with brass hardware. As a bonus, you can slide an AirTag inside it so you know where your bag is at all times. (Though, if you're like me, you may opt to stash some candies instead.) $75; $60 at Nordstrom Nordstrom If you need a good schlep bag, but don't love the slouchy hobo designs going around, try this Coach North leather tote. The simple square design is spacious and great for commuting, with a magnetic snap closure and interior zip pocket. The pebbled leather adds some texture for visual interest, and the bag is available in two neutral colors, black and honey brown, which can be easily styled up or down. $395; $250 at Nordstrom Nordstrom JW Pei hits the sweet spot of being both a celeb fave and affordable. The Hana tote is a sculptural, water-repellent bag with a magnetic snap closure and interior pocket. It's reminiscent of the DeMellier New York tote, but at a much friendlier price point. Plus, buckle and belt bags are all the rage right now, so you'll be perfectly on-trend, though it's still classic enough to wear for years to come. $139; $90 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Veronica Beard is one of my favorite brands, known for her tailored, classic silhouettes. And, if the Princess of Wales has anything to say about the matter, you can never go wrong with a structured top-handle bag. During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, this croc-embossed beauty is $200 off, available in a versatile and neutral navy with gold hardware. The suede-lined interior has a zip pocket, and the bag comes with a detachable crossbody strap so you can mix things up. $598; $400 at Nordstrom Nordstrom You can't go wrong with a bucket bag. This roomy rag & bone leather tote is the perfect carry-all, an essential Hepworth writes is a must in a handbag capsule wardrobe. The structured bag is incredibly roomy, with back and interior zip pockets and twill lining. During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, there are three colors on sale: Dusty Blue, Cognac and Cedar. $498; $330 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Here's another win under $100 from JW Pei. This fun, asymmetrical going-out bag might be a neutral brown, but it's anything but boring. With gold accents to finish and a structured, half-moon shape, it's as comfortable at a girls' night out as it is brunch with the family. $109; $70 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Teddy Blake's Lola bag features a soft, pebbled Italian leather with top handles and an optional shoulder strap. The Italian-made tote is finished with gold hardware and comes in some stunning colors. Aside from the neutrals, you can opt for an exciting shade of mint green and a camel that leans more towards a honey caramel. $685; $460 at Nordstrom Nordstrom This leather designer carry-all is perfect for running errands or accenting a party outfit. It's got a fun, structured design that'll make it the star of the show, while its chestnut hue also ensures that it remains versatile. There's an exterior zip pocket and interior wall pocket, plus polished silver hardware for an inventive take on the classic and buzzy belt bag. $459; $300 at Nordstrom Nordstrom Fans of Kate Middleton's Polène handbag, here's your chance to snag something similar—the Teddy Blake Kim bag. It, too, features a top handle, belted design with gleaming silver hardware and a detachable crossbody strap. The pebbled leather bag is made in Italy, and is finished with four dainty feet on the base. $730; $490 at Nordstrom Nordstrom This suede bag has whipstitched accents on the front flap and sides, with accent tassels trailing the clasp and zipper. There are two pockets: A slip beneath the flap and back slip pocket, in addition to a top zip closure. From an everyday crossbody to a shoulder bag and clutch, this Rebecca Minkoff design is the definition of versatile. $438; $230 at Nordstrom Fall Coats from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to Buy Now & Wear Later 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.

The Cult-Favorite Natori Feathers Bra Is *the* Most Comfortable Bra That I Own (& It's Over 30% Off During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale)

All prices are accurate upon date of publish. You can learn more about the affiliate process here. You can learn more about that process here. Yahoo Inc. may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Read the original article on Purewow. Value: 20/20 Functionality: 18/20 Quality/Ease of Use: 19/20 Aesthetics: 19/20 Comfort: 19/20 TOTAL: 95/100 Here's a little context: I hate wearing bras. But who doesn't, really? I'm convinced it's a universal fact for all of us bra wearers that there's no better feeling than freeing the gals after a long day of work, happy hour drinks and errands. The pop of the clasps, the release of tension and the flood of relief, bliss and freedom. I hate bras so much, that I'd rather wear sticky boobs or tape my nipples down than succumb to the confining squeeze. So, when I received the task of trying out the cult-favorite Natori Feathers bra, I was a bit hesitant, but let me tell you, it is *so* worth it. Best of all, it's currently over 30 percent off for the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, which runs through Sunday, August 3. In case you didn't know, shoppers gain access to the Anniversary Sale in tiers based on their Nordy Club status before it opens up to everyone on July 12. (P.S. You can still sign up to become a card member and gain instant Influencer status.) These are the dates to keep in mind while shopping: Icons: Shop from July 8 through July 11 Ambassadors: Shop from July 9 through July 11 Influencers: Shop from July 10 through July 11 Everyone (including non-members): Shop from July 12 through August 3 The PureWow100 is a scale our editors use to vet new products and services, so you know what's worth the spend—and what's total hype. Learn more about our process here. Started by Josie Natori on the floor of her living room in 1997, the lingerie brand quickly became known for making the most comfortable bras on the market for women with small breasts and big boobs, offering sizes 32A through 36G, 30A through 30DDD and 38 B through 38DD. To be quite honest, I gave up on the one-brand-accommodates-all notion years ago, accepting my fate with ill-fitting bras and living with the gap in my cups, tight band and loose straps. It wasn't until a recent event, where I was treated to a bra-fitting—something I hadn't experienced since high school—when I realized that I might be wearing the wrong size bra. The bra expert assured me that I'm a 34B—not a 32D or 34C like I had always worn. Then, I took a chance on the Natori Feathers bra. Natori The brand's original plunge T-shirt bra features a gorgeous Italian lace trim and mesh overlay that spices up the sex appeal on an otherwise basic bra that has remained one of the top sellers for over a decade. I opted for a size 34B, and I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I slipped it on. Not only had I ordered the correct size, but the bra was *actually* comfortable and supportive. How could that be? 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. The lace band felt supple and breathable against my chest and ribcage like a gentle hug that never dug in or caused my skin to spill over (the bra is made from a blend of up to 50 percent recycled materials). The demi contour and deep plunge created a flattering shape and natural lift that looked great with my V-neck blouses and dresses. I didn't love how the lace poked out of scoop neck tank tops, but I've continued to wear it with other necklines non-stop for weeks on end. Despite the lace design, the bra looks smooth underneath my shirts and I never see lumps or divots poking out against the fabric. I don't have the patience to give it a hand wash, as the brand suggests, but I'm happy to report that it has survived the delicates wash cycle like a champ (just make sure to zip it up in a washing bag for delicates for extra protection). Bottom line: When a bra can look great and make me feel like I'm going braless, it's a miracle worker. Ladies, don't give up hope like I almost did. $72; $45 at nordstrom 26 Strapless Bras That Won't Slip, Gape or Slouch, No Matter What, According to Our Editors & Reviewers 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.
