50% Off: Skims Cozy Knit Shorts

Nordstrom Winter Sale

• Tory Burch Georgia Pump, $227 (Originally $378)

Nordstrom just added hundreds of new items to its sale section, and the mark-downs are pretty major. A number of cozy, night-in staples are discounted, which IMO make the best Valentine’s Day gifts. Skims’ Cozy Knit Shorts — which shoppers say are made from “the most comfy material [they] have EVER put on” — are half off, while Ugg’s fluffy Joselyn Lounge Cardigan is now $83.

There are also a number of great deals on footwear. I’ve been eyeing Tory Burch’s Georgia Pumps for months, and at 40 percent off, now might be the time to finally grab them. And if you’re looking for a stylish ankle boot, Bernardo Footwear’s Nicola Platform Chelsea Boot is 42 percent off.

During Kate Spade Outlet’s Valentine’s Day sale, a number of best-selling bags are an extra 20 percent off (no code needed!) while all jewelry is an extra 20 percent off with the code YOURPICK. The biggest discount is on the brand’s classic Brynn Tote Bag, which is now 80 percent off, but if you prefer something smaller, consider grabbing the Leila Triple Gusset Crossbody Bag. This style is available in five colors, designed from soft pebbled leather, and is “small, stylish, easy to handle, and complementary to every outfit,” per shoppers.

If you’re looking for something a little smaller — or dare I say giftable (your final reminder that Valentine’s Day is two weeks away) — these drop earrings, which feature a glitzy heart, are now just $23, while this shopper-loved wallet/wristlet, available in three colors, is $39.

61% Off: Gap Organic Cotton Big Button-Down Shirt

Gap Warmest Layers Sale

• Organic Cotton Big Button-Down Shirt, $27 (Originally $70)
• 24/7 Split-Hem Crochet Sweater, $39 (Originally $80)
• Mid-Rise Cotton '90s Loose Jeans, $53 (Originally $90)
• CashSoft Shaker-Stitch Sweater Hoodie, $55 (Originally $80)

If you’re wanting to refresh your winter wardrobe — perhaps with some pieces that’ll transition into spring — Gap’s Warmest Layers Sale is a great place to start. Personally, this 61-percent-off oversized cotton button-down was the first thing I added to my cart; it’ll look just as good layered underneath a sweater for the remainder of this season as it will alone come spring. But if you’re wanting something a little cozier, you can’t go wrong with this now-$39 crocheted sweater or the Shaker-Stitch Sweater Hoodie in CashSoft, the brand’s buttery-soft cashmere-alternative that’s quickly become a favorite of mine.

Also on sale are these cotton mid-rise jeans, which feature vintage-inspired details like a relaxed, lived-in fit, distressing at the knee, and a stylish split hem. “They hang loosely, [are] very comfy and soft for jeans…[and] have this casual, easy-going, comfy look that goes with anything,” raved a fan.

$2 Skincare Steal: Blistex Five-Star Lip Protection Balm

Amazon Beauty Sale

• Blistex Five-Star Lip Protection Balm, $2 (Originally $7)
• RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Facial Filler, $20 (Originally $30)
• Keranique Follicle-Strengthening Volumizing Shampoo, $24 (Originally $30)
• Nécessaire the Body Serum, $45 (Originally $55)

Amazon has quickly become the spot to find skincare staples for less; in the case of Blistex’s Five-Star Lip Protection Balm, we’re talking on-sale-for-just-$2 less. Other great deals include Nécessaire’s rarely discounted body serum and RoC’s now-$20 Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Facial Filler serum, which shoppers have called “a literal line-eraser.” “Finer lines completely disappear and the deeper lines become far less visible within minutes of application and absorption,” one person wrote.

But if you want to focus on strengthening and volumizing your hair, make sure to grab Keranique’s Follicle-Strengthening Shampoo while it’s 20 percent off. One shopper with “thinning and weak” hair said that this was the first thickening shampoo to “actually work.” “My aging hair looks great,” they wrote, adding that even their friends have taken notice.
