Perks and Rec: Sparkly sales are happening at Blue Nile and Reformation

Sure, it's August now, but before you know it, it’ll be the holiday shopping season. (Apologies for the rude awakening.) If you already know that there’s someone on your gift list who wants a shiny, sparkling present, now’s a great time to grab it.  

Jewelry favorites at Blue Nile are up to 40% off during its anniversary sale. There are plenty of staple styles with deep discounts, including everyday necklaces, tennis bracelets, pavé hoops and rings that can be passed down for generations. You can also save 25% on ring settings, if you’re considering popping the question sometime soon. (Hint hint.) 

Reformation is having a rare (and shockingly good) sale right now, too. Here, you can get up to half off cashmere sweaters, staple denim and dresses for every occasion. Several items are still available in most sizes, but that won't last forever—snag them before they sell out. 

Happy shopping,
