Summer is here, and since I work in fashion, I always get that inevitable question from friends: "What are the latest trends?" Most of my friends want my advice but don't want to spend a fortune (and I don't want them to either), so when it comes to staying stylish without breaking the bank, I end up leading them to Nordstrom, especially since a sale is happening right now. Known for its wide selection of price ranges and stylish pieces, I always know this is a safe place to send my friends.

On a recent Saturday in New York City, a few girls and I ended up uptown, and we were on a mission to get some summer shopping done without splurging excessively. There are still a few trips left on our calendars, so we really had to get to work. As we browsed through the racks, I pointed out some of my favorite trends, and it made me think of the idea to write this article. Below, you'll find 29 pieces that are currently on sale to pick out during your next Nordstrom shopping trip if you're looking to stay on-trend and chic.

While the Nordstrom sale is going on, I've included heavily discounted designer pieces to keep things fun.

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
