Nordstrom is having a major sale right now - actually, TWO! First is their spring sale with items marked down up to 60%. And then there's the in-house brand sale - all Nordstrom brands, such as Halogen, Caslon, Nordstrom at Home, and many more - are up to 50% off. I wanted to round up some of my favorites for you so you can take advantage of these sales. The round sunnies above are just $7. And the cute pleated shorts are only $29! Shop more of my picks below - a little retail therapy isn't so bad right now!

Warmer days are finally making their appearance, but the fickle weather still calls for occasional cozy layers while stepping out for a stroll. Emily Blunt was photographed in early March in this polished look with fun details - and her adorable bird print Axel Arigato sneakers can be found here! The unique hue of her overcoat instantly brings cheer and we love this pick from H&M.

Neutral-tone tablescapes make a big impact with a mix of textures such as jute or water hyacinth. I love the look of Pottery Barn's handmade woven water hyacinth placemats, which can be used year-round with just about any style decor. These placemats are currently on sale for $12.50 each, while Target has a similar look with these Threshold placemats for just $5.99. Both placemats are 15 inches in diameter. Whether you're enjoying a cup of tea at the table or setting a meal for family, these beautiful richly-textured placemats will add a touch of simple beauty and sophistication.

One silver lining to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has to be the enormous rally from companies big and small to pitch in and help out in any way they can. I wanted to round up just a few of the brands whose stories landed in my inbox, from footwear company Crocs (donating free shoes to healthcare workers!) to the ethical fashion makers at Everlane (100% of proceeds from their 100% Human Collection will help food banks).

Alessandra Ambrosio is an athleisure inspiration during the quarantine, styling basics in the cutest ways! The down-to-earth look is perfect for hanging around the house, working out at home, or a quick walk around the block. The best part of this look: You can find her Wrangler tee on amazon.com for $20!
