With school back in session and temperatures cooling down, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. Now's a really great time to take advantage of all the seasonal deals — but you don't have to wait until the holiday weekend to start saving.
You'll want to stock up on deeply discounted warm-weather essentials for next year and start adding new fall styles to your wardrobe, especially since there are some can't-miss deals from Madewell, Nordstrom, and Tory Burch. Plus, J.Crew is offering an extra 50 percent off all sale items, including these chunky leather clogs that remind us of the ones celebrities were wearing everywhere last fall.
Speaking of celebrities, you can snag the popular Solawave wand that A-listers like Reese Witherspoon, Mandy Moore, and Nicole Kidman use for 20 percent off. The teeny tiny skincare device has also been touted by customers and editors for its ability to deliver "magical" results in two weeks in the form of brighter and more taut skin. For other makeup and skincare deals, you'll definitely want to head to Ulta while its famous 21 Days of Beauty sale is happening.
Looking for home deals? Amazon, Wayfair, and Walmart have you covered in that department. This is a particularly good weekend to buy furniture pieces for your living room and bedroom. Now's the time to add that cozy reading chair you've been eyeing to your cart, or invest in a new mattress while you can score one for up to $700 off. While you're at it, don't hesitate to scoop up these breathable bamboo sheets that are on sale from a brand Oprah Winfrey is a fan of and that's also earned a PEOPLE Tested seal of approval.
