    The below is from editor-in-chief Nikki Ogunnaike's weekly newsletter, Self Checkout. Subscribe here.

    With close to 20 years in the fashion industry, I’ve not only seen it all—but also know how to parse through the endless sea of stuff. What’s worth buying? What’s not? In Self Checkout, you’ll find my highly specific recommendations with a few picks from my most knowledgeable, stylish friends.

    Nordstrom has kicked off its Half Yearly Sale, which means there are pages and pages of marked down items worth shopping. I’ve done just a bit of the grunt work for you, though, and found 10 things I think are worth noting. This is also the perfect time to pick up some items to wear for work (getting dressed for the office in hot weather is a delicate waltz) and also to save for the fall (the best shoppers know you don’t have to shop in-season).

    Balloon Link Hoop Earrings

    Jenny Bird Balloon Link Hoop Earrings (Were $110)
    $77 AT NORDSTROM

    If you’re in the market for a new pair of everyday hoops, you can’t go wrong with editor-favorite brand Jenny Bird.

    Denim Wrap Skirt

    3.1 Phillip Lim Denim Wrap Skirt (Was $450)
    $270 AT NORDSTROM

    Now’s the time to grab a knee-length denim skirt if you don’t have one. Pair it with a button-down shirt during the week and a tank top on the weekend.

    Pleated High Waist Twill Shorts

    Alex Mill Pleated High Waist Twill Shorts (Were $135)
    $81 AT NORDSTROM

    As a day one Alex Mill fan, believe me when I recommend these pleated shorts. If you’re anti-jorts (that’s jean shorts, BTW) try these instead.

    Lupita Metallic Slide Sandal

    Amina Muaddi Lupita Metallic Slide Sandal (Were $785)
    $471 AT NORDSTROM

    There are a lot of Amina Muaddi shoes on sale at Nordstrom right now. These caught my eye because I can envision them both with a casual look for drinks with girlfriends and also with a dress for a summer wedding.

    Crowdon Water Resistant Jacket

    Barbour Crowdon Water Resistant Jacket (Was $335)
    $294 AT NORDSTROM

    Travel with this jacket for those randomly chilly (or rainy) days and nights.

    Airstraitamp;trade; Hair Straightener

    Dyson Airstrait™ Hair Straightener (Was $499)
    $399 AT NORDSTROM

    If you’ve had your eye on a Dyson hair tool—run, don’t walk! This one will be sure to sell out ASAP.

    Mesh Mary Jane Flat

    Jeffrey Campbell Mesh Mary Jane Flat (Were $145)
    $72 AT NORDSTROM

    Mesh flats are taking over. Here’s an under-$100 way to test drive the trend.

    Vinum Set of 6 Cabernet Glasses

    Riedel Vinum Set of 6 Cabernet Glasses (Were $177)
    $80 AT NORDSTROM

    Fun fact: I have loved wine ever since moving to New York in 2007 and even worked part time at a wine store. I’ll never forget that these were our go-to glasses during tastings.
