With the stress of the holidays, you might’ve forgotten to shop Nordstrom’s famous Half-Yearly Sale; fortunately, the retailer extended it, giving those of us who got swept up in the rush one more chance to save on winter must-haves. That extension, however, is only going to last two more days, meaning we’ve officially entered the final buy-it-now-or-miss-it countdown.
With that said, there are more than 39,000 deals (no pressure), so to make shopping the sale in a time crunch easier, I found the 28 best last-minute steals from the blowout sale, including savings on winter-ready apparel, trending shoes, designer bags, and more. Shop our picks from Nordstrom’s sale, below.

- Mother the Hustler Roller Sneak Jeans, $155 (Originally $258)
There are thousands of major clothing deals from the sales event, but I focused on winter-ready pieces you can wear all season long (and some well beyond). Both Mother’s loose-fitting jeans and Eileen Fisher’s pull-on wide-leg pants are closet staples, with shoppers saying the latter is a “good wardrobe workhouse” that “drapes beautifully” and is highly versatile. “[They’re] classy and yet can be very casual depending on what is paired with them,” wrote one fan.
In terms of winter must-haves, don’t pass up Bernardo’s Quilted Water Jacket that’s garnered comparisons to Canada Goose’s famous (and seriously expensive) jackets, nor Free People’s shopper-favorite mockneck sweater while it’s 50 percent off. And for a more dressed-up winter look, consider pairing this now-$45 sweater dress with your favorite pair of fleece-lined tights and knee-high boots.
Best Shoes Deals

Right now, you can grab Dr. Scholl’s Retrospect Block-Heel Bootie for 68 percent off. This style speaks to the timeless beige bootie trend celebrities can’t stop wearing, while maintaining the comfort the brand is known for. But if you prefer a knee-high boot for winter, Marc Fisher’s leather style, which is available in four colors, is 40 percent off.
Other shoe deals I’m loving include these sleek, 53-percent off flats, the heeled loafers Nordstrom shoppers call “practical, comfortable,” and nice-looking, and Nike’s Gamma Force Sneakers.

- Mansur Gavriel Mini M Frame Leather Shoulder Bag, $348 (Originally $695)
Pretty much all of our favorite bag brands are on sale during Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale. I’m personally obsessed with this 40-percent-off Coach shoulder bag in the brand’s signature jacquard print, as well as Kate Spade’s leopard-print Bleecker Tote.
But if you prefer a more classic bag, Tory Burch’s Small Robinson Pebble Tote and its McGraw Wallet Crossbody are both 30 percent off. Plus, Mansur Gavriel’s Mini M Frame Leather Shoulder Bag — a brand that’s been worn by Taylor Swift and Katie Holmes — is half off.

- Stella McCartney Mini S-Wave Crossbody Bag, $750 (Originally $1,250)
- Dries Van Noten Rambling Coated Trench Coat, $868 (Originally $1,735)
Some of the best deals from the retailer's winter sale are on designer apparel, shoes, and bags (in case you needed a reason to splurge on yourself). In terms of shoes, Off-White’s hot pink pumps are 60 percent off, while Alexander McQueen’s Wander Slash Combat Boots — a style we’ve seen everyone including Taylor Swift and Anne Hathaway wear — are 70 percent off.
In terms of purses, I can’t stop thinking about this Stella McCartney crossbody bag that would add a beautiful pop of color to all my outfits. Another accessory I’m obsessed with is this pair of super chic Dior sunglasses that are now $294. And when it comes to clothes, you can't go wrong with this 40-percent off Missoni V-Neck Sweater (Missoni is so timeless).
