When it comes to sales, few do it better than Nordstrom. And its famed Half-Yearly Sale for women and kids is back starting Wednesday. Ladies can stock up on fall merchandise reduced up to 50%. It’s time to take advantage of the savings and start shopping for holiday gifts. The prices are the lowest of the season so it’s also a great time to find the right looks for holiday parties and seasonal gatherings.
Fashion favorite brands on sale include 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang, Alice + Olivia, Cole Haan, Diane von Furstenberg, J Brand, Kate Spade New York, Marc by Marc Jacobs, M Missoni, Mini Boden, Nike, Steve Madden, Stuart Weitzman, Tory Burch and Vince. Brands will vary by store.
Orange County boasts six Nordstrom stores: South Coast Plaza, Brea Mall, Santa Ana, Mission Viejo, Irvine Spectrum and Fashion Island. Or shop at the on-line store at nordstrom.com.
