Perks and Rec: Save big on Nordstrom's top brands

If discounts on fashion are what you're after, Nordstrom's got you covered. Shop early Black Friday deals and save on the things you need and, let's be honest, just want.

Going somewhere? Make every step a stylish one with discounts on Steve Madden mules, Adidas sneakers and Caslon Chelsea boots. If you're staying in, consider this jogger and super-soft cardigan combo — always a win in my book.

Your kiddo could (always) use some new threads. Pick up some cotton overalls and an animal-eared sweatshirt for a cute and comfy fit. For some extra coziness, try these slippers from Ugg.

While we're on the topic of kids, we've found a great gift for them. Little Passports helps your child travel around the world without ever leaving the house. Through the subscription service, they'll learn about geography, science, world cultures, art and more. With the code HOLIDAY30, you'll save 30% sitewide. And while you're at it, subscribe to The Carpool, our parenting newsletter coming later this month.

Happy saving,
