The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale is a treasure trove of trend winter fashion and must-have beauty products at prices that'll make you swoon. I know this because I never miss the retailer's big biannual savings event, so unsurprisingly, I'm all over the one happening right now. And you should be, tooespecially if you want to get your wardrobe ready for the new year without breaking the bank. Listen up, y'all: You have from Saturday, Dec. 21, through Monday, Jan. 6, to score up to 60 percent off more than *64,000* items. While that may seem like plenty of time to shop, trust me when I say you'll want to buy this Melloday floral print dress and these Nordstrom V-neck cashmere sweaters sooner rather than later.

Remember, I never miss a Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale, and if there's anything I can promise you, it's that the best items (including the coveted Nuna Rava convertible car seat) won't stay in stock for long. So don't even think about waiting until the last minute to look for deals on top brands like BarbourNatori and Ugg. In fact, to help get you started on your shopping spree, I've rounded up 15 items you should run to—stat!

Boho chic was huge this year, and it's set to rule well into 2025. That said, you better secure this haute hippie maxi before other savvy shoppers beat you to it. It has a marvelous mock neckline, a smocked waist and ruffles for days. And, yes, its sheer overlay is guaranteed to flow beautifully with every step. Its pretty floral print is also bound to pop in photos (of which there will be many if you're donning this frock), so go ahead and snag it on sale now.

Frame jeans are one of the biggest buys during the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale, and it's not just because the brand is beloved by the A-list likes of Meghan Markle, Gigi Hadid and Reese Witherspoon (to name a few). As PureWow Associate Fashion Commerce Editor Stephanie Meraz writes in her recent review of another Frame style, "I'll be the first to admit that Frame jeans are an investment...but if you’re searching for a pair of jeans that combines durability, quality and premium cotton, these are absolutely worth it." This particular wide-leg style is crafted from super soft stretch denim featuring modal and elastane, so there's no question whether they'll hug your curves in all the right places (while letting loose where you want 'em to). They also have a lightly faded blue wash that makes 'em as versatile as can be.

Want to channel Kate Middleton with your winter outerwear? If so, I suggest you go all in on this jacket from Barbour, a brand she (and PureWow editor Abby Hepworth) loves. An elevated take on a utilitarian barn jacket, it has all the signature details that Barbour fans would expect, including front patch pockets, snap side vents and a front snap closure. However, the corduroy collar and partial lining in a preppy tartan print are what really make it worth bragging about. No trip to your English countryside estate planned? No worries, this pick will make you feel like you're there whenever you slip it on.

A good bra is supportive *and* comfy, and this signature Natori style checks those boxes and then some because, as you can see, it's very pretty, too. PureWow Associate Fashion Commerce Editor Stephanie Meraz is more than happy to vouch for it. As she said in her review, "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." So if you're looking for a bra that does everything it's supposed to without causing you to count down the minutes 'til you can take it off, well, you might have just met your match.

Got a baby on board—or are about to? This convertible car seat is a PureWow parent favorite, so it's safe to say it's worth every penny—especially when you can nab it on rare sale. Here's what you should know before you buy it: For starters, it's suitable for children from birth through toddlerhood, as the seat adjusts to ten positions and converts from back-facing to front-facing as your child grows up to 65 pounds. Secondly, the five-point harness is designed to be adjusted with just one hand (a blessing for parents who literally have their hands full) and setup is said to be remarkably easy. Last but not least, it boasts an all-steel frame and impact-absorbing foam side protection, so you can feel good knowing that your precious cargo is safe and secure.

Featuring 12 coveted Augustinus Bader products that cost a pretty penny on their own, this set is a big deal. In fact, the box's total value comes in at a whopping $868, but you can score it for less than $470 RN. Not only does it include the editor-approved The Rich Cream—which I can personally attest gives my skin the perfect glow—but also The Retinol Serum, which starts working its magic within *seven days* to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of dark spots and fine lines, per clinical trials. All powered by TFC8 (the brand's proprietary blend of amino acids, vitamins and molecules naturally found in skin), the products are renowned for their nourishing and anti-aging effects. But that's not all you have to look forward to. This box comes with *so* many more holy grail products, including The Eye Patches (single pack), The Tinted Balm (in a sheer, deep pink shade) and The Cream (in a 15-milliliter size). And as if it couldn't get any better than that, it's all packaged in a lavish Advent calendar-style box—so you can keep the festive vibes going with a new treat every day. Who cares if it's after Christmas?!

No winter wardrobe is complete without a new pair of Uggs, so I'm picking up this popular suede style as we speak (and I'm sure I'm not the only one). "They are super cute, cozy and warm. These feel more like a solid boot than your average Ugg. They have a more structured feel to them, which is nice because they don’t feel floppy...these are great for work!" one reviewer raves. By the way, they have an UggPlush wool-blend lining and a ridged sole, so it's no wonder they're sturdy. That cool embroidery at the cuff is just the cherry on top.

Everyone wants to get their hands on these Moonlight pajamas, and you'll want to, too, after I tell you how soft they are. The short-sleeve top and slightly cropped pants are made of Tencel Modal and spandex, which feel cool to the touch and comfortable on the skin. But don't just buy this set for the lightweight fabric that impresses even hot sleepers; nab it for the menswear-inspired design and contrast piping that will make you feel all dressed up when you're off to bed, as it has for tons of buyers. "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," one writes. "Can’t say enough good things about these! I’m telling all of my friends about them." In that case, I'll take two, please!

You'll want a cashmere sweater (or three) on hand this winter. So, do yourself a favor and secure this V-neck style that you can throw on at a moment's notice to look classy and feel comfortable. How do I know? Well, I wear this exact style on repeat during the winter months, and I can assure you that it's soft and warm but still lightweight enough for layering. Want an oversized or off-the-shoulder look? Size up as I did. Prefer your knits a bit more fitted? Stick to your usual size, and you should be golden. Either way, you'll probably become just as obsessed with this V-neck sweater as I have.

Guys, I can't stop swooning over this cocktail dress, and can you really blame me? Between its one-shoulder design, satin fabric and ruching on one side, it's the perfect dress for special occasions, from weddings to anniversaries. And I don't doubt that it's super comfortable, too, as I own several of the brand's dresses and have no complaints. Still, here's why one buyer doesn't regret buying it: "This may have been the most beautiful dress I have ever worn. I felt like a million bucks, which is not easy to do shortly after having a baby. This dress is silky, flattering, stylish and looks expensive. I don’t know when I will get to wear it again, but I can’t wait." I told you so...

I heard that you're looking for a new handbag for the new year. Well, look no further than this trendy faux leather hobo style. It has a bit more structure than your typically slouchy hobo bag, but its scooped crescent shape ensures that you can carry it comfortably under your arm and achieve the same look. Meanwhile, the medium-sized bag's interior should be roomy enough for all your essentials (phone, wallet, red lipstick—check, check, check) and there's a pocket to store valuables. I can see you (and me) carrying this beauty on the daily.

If you're anything like me, you won't be able to resist scooping up a fancy new pair of Mary Janes that give Dorothy's shoes a run for their money, so I'll cut to the chase. Everything about this pair's classic cut, sparkling buckle and chic square toe is guaranteed to complement just about any dressy fit this holiday season and beyond. Even better, the leather-soled style is marked down in multiple colors and materials, from this sumptuous red velvet to silver glitter.

Do you live in leggings year-round? If you answered yes, I have some good news: These cult-favorite bottoms from Zella are currently up for grabs for less than $50, and they have a fuzzy fleece lining, which means they'll keep your pins toasty even in the worst winter temps. But you don't have to just take my word for it. Several buyers confirm that these high-waisted and machine-washable leggings (made of polyester and spandex) are perfectly comfy and cozy.

Addicted to the anything with a soft teddy texture? Same! Well then, you might have to race me to checkout when it comes to this cozy little cardigan. It has a boxy, ladylike shape akin to an old-school Chanel jacket, along with a smattering of gold etched buttons that really amp up its glam. Nevertheless, it's also practical—those front button-welt pockets, for one thing, are sure to come in handy whether you're at the office or lounging at home. That said, I have a feeling this piece will become your new fave for days when you want to look dressed up without having to go all out.

When I discovered that this lace-accented bra was made without underwire, an elastic band *or* seams, but provided just as much—if not even more—coverage as other options, I knew I couldn't gatekeep it. This magical little bralette offers comfort and lift for all chest sizes, according to reviewers. If I had to guess, I'd say it's due to its soft, removable triangle cups and effortlessly form-fitting nylon/elastane material, which is so smooth it's practically invisible under clothing. It also features adjustable racerback straps, so you can get the fit just right. Some happy buyers actually say that the bra is *so* comfy that they sometimes forget they're even wearing it.
