Banana Republic Factory Sale on Sale

Linen-Blend Easy Short, $24 (Originally $50)
Ribbed Boat-Neck Sweater Tank, $38 (Originally $80)
Linen-Blend Wide-Leg Pleated Trousers, $48 (Originally $100)
Voile Mini Shirt Dress, $58 (Originally $120)

Banana Republic Factory marked down its already-discounted fashion by an extra 20 percent off—which is applied in your cart—making the linen-blend wide-leg trousers and shorts 52 percent off. Both lightweight styles are perfect for elevating summer looks, with shoppers saying the pants are “beautifully tailored,” “classy, and timeless,” while fans of the “soft and comfortable” shorts rave that they make any outfit look “casually sophisticated.”

Also on sale is this boat-neck tank top, as well as the Voile Shirt Dress—a darling, 100-percent cotton mini dress that features puff sleeves and subtle eyelet details.

42% Off: Ruffle One-Piece Swimsuit

J.Crew Summer Swimwear Sale

String Bikini Top, $35 (Originally $70); String Bikini Bottom, $27 (Originally $55)
Underwire Bikini Top, $37 (Originally $75); Classic Bikini Bottom, $25 (Originally $50)
Ruffle One-Piece Swimsuit, $75 (Originally $128)
Textured Scoopneck One-Piece Swimsuit, $90 (Originally $128)

J.Crew’s summer sale runs now through May 6, and I’m using it as an opportunity to finally snag one of the brand’s swimsuits ahead of the season. For one-pieces, I’m loving this 42-percent off ruffled style that features a blue floral print, sweetheart neckline, and semi-cheeky cut. This solid red swimsuit is another favorite, with a look that’s both modern and classic. It includes thick straps, a simple scooped neck, backless design, and ribbing, with shoppers writing that it’s “comfortable, flattering,” and “sexy.”

For two-piece styles, customers love this “supportive and comfortable” underwire bikini top—which is available in bra sizes 32A through 42DD—as well as its half-off matching bottoms. This striped string bikini top and bottom are also quickly becoming favorites, with customers raving that the bottoms provide the perfect amount of coverage; they’re “not too skimpy,” per one fan.

51% Off: Katy Medium Shoulder Bag

Kate Spade Mother’s Day Sale

Morgan Gusseted Wristlet, $52 (Originally $98)
Katy Medium Shoulder Bag, $176 (Originally $358)
Knott Colorblocked Large Shoulder Bag, $195 (Originally $398)
York Large Work Tote Bag, $220 (Originally $448)

Ahead of Mother’s Day, Kate Spade has discounted a number of its already-on sale bags by an extra 30 percent. This kelly green shoulder bag—now 51 percent off—is officially at the top of my wishlist. The vibrant hue makes any outfit instantly cooler and the longer strap creates a drop that actually, comfortably fits an arm—a detail also carried over to this larger, colorblock shoulder bag.

If you need a really spacious bag, the brand’s York Large Work Tote Bag is now 51 percent off. As the name implies, this is perfect for the office as it includes a dedicated laptop pocket and classic black finish that will look chic year round. And for something small—you can take it out on weekends and then throw it into the workbag come Monday—this pink wristlet is now just $52.

$12 Deal: CeraVe Hydrating Tinted Mineral Sunscreen

Amazon Secret Skincare Sale

CeraVe Hydrating Tinted Mineral Sunscreen, $12 (Originally $16)
Clinique Moisture Surge Hydro-Plump Lip Treatment, $18 (Originally $21)
Neutrogena Retinol Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer, $19 (Originally $29)
Lanc?me Rénergie Eye Cream, $72 (Originally $85)

While not a dedicated sales event, I did discover that a number of shopper-loved skincare products are on sale at Amazon (hence, secret). The cheapest grab is CeraVe’s now-$12 tinted moisturizer with SPF 30, which shoppers say has a “hydrating, pore-blurring effect.” “[It’s] not too heavy, but hides tiny imperfections,” wrote someone else. Another affordable buy is Clinique's plumping lip treatment, which is now just $18.

If your beauty goal is to combat signs of aging, make sure to grab Neutrogena’s Retinol Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer—which boasts more than 10,000 five-star ratings—while it’s 35 percent off. And if you’re down to splurge, Lanc?me’s caffeinated Rénergie Eye Cream is on rare sale for $72.
