Hi there, SALE!

You know the deals are what take the cake around here – so it's important you know that Nordstrom Rack's having their End of Season sale right now, too – which means you can save BIG on lots of really great items!! Make sure to check out the sale while you're shopping today.

Let's talk women's swimsuits

Fun and artistic prints have been a HUGE trend of 2022, and this coral reef one piece swimsuit is no exception. It has the most perfect, subtle, neutral print for your beach days this year, and it's super unique which is really fun, too!

Something great about shopping at Nordstrom Rack is that you'll find one-of-a-kind items, rather than more common pieces that everyone will buy up from other retailers. So if you're looking for something that's just a little different print and style than what you'll see everywhere, this suit is everything!!!

A swimsuit with a pop of color

If you're the type of person who loves a more colorful swimsuit, this gorgeous, floral print would be perfect for you! The purple & coral are fun & tropical and go together so beautifully.

This is another one piece that has really great coverage! There's a little less bum coverage on this swimsuit than the one above, but it still covers enough so that you'll be totally comfortable.

The best part? Both of these women's swimsuits are under $50!! That's a steal for great quality and unique patterns you won't find anywhere else.

Dreamy swimsuit cover-ups

When you find a cover-up that works for the beach, the pool, and even just a backyard sprinkler party – you know you've found THE ONE!

This boho striped dress is so, so pretty and this white one is dreamy, too (perfect for a resort vacation)!! They're almost both sold out now, but here are some similar options with a lot of sizes in stock:

Top it off

It's super nice on a sunny day to wear a hat that keeps harsh sun rays out of your face. If you're going on a beach vacation soon and are looking for a hat that has more of a resort-vibe, this one has your name written all over it! This fedora would be so fun to wear on the beach, or even on an outdoor, summer date night. BRIXTON is an amazing brand and it's CRAZY that this is 59% OFF right now!

If you're more of a ball cap gal, this is a SUPER CUTE option at 51% OFF, making it only $12! Having a cute ball cap you can put on during summer days when you just don't really want to fix your hair all that much is a life saver and a true mama hack. This is really something you can wear all year round!

Sandals & flip flops

Investing in a really good pair of flip flops is worth EVERY. penny. Havaianas are super hard to come by for a price as amazing as this! For under $20 you can get these super cute flip flops that'll seriously last you years. They come in a really pretty pink, or black.

If you're looking for a little bit of a nicer sandal that would still be perfect for a beach day, these Madewell slides are EVERYTHING. They're easy to slip on and off but still give you a really pretty resort-vibe! Get them for under $30 right now.

THE resort tote

This isn't your tote if you're looking for something to lug all of the kids items in on a beach day – it sure IS your tote, though, for carrying your own personal things on a summer girls trip or a trip with your spouse! It's the perfect amount of space for just the things you need to carry around on vacation – wallet, earbuds, sunscreen, water bottle, book… And it's SO cute, too!

A super awesome feature is that it comes with a shoulder strap or smaller straps to carry on your arm – whichever is most comfortable for you. It also has a LOT of different pockets, which is probably the most important thing about any tote. Grab yours for 48% OFF today!

Here comes the sun(screen)

All the women's swimsuits/accessories are great, but what's really going to protect your skin from the sun is some really good sunscreen. This is the BEST way to prevent early signs of aging!

Sun Bum carries a really awesome SPF 15 sunscreen spray that's super easy to put on, and it'll still leave your body with a little bit of color if that's important to you on vacation or while you're lying out in the sun.

It's also really really important of course to make sure your face is covered! This SPF 45 face mist gives the perfect amount of coverage for the skin you want to protect the very most. Pack both of these in your tote & you're golden for any day out in the sun!
