Happy Saturday! I’m showing up here with a rare weekend blog post because the spring sales are just too good this weekend not to give them their due. I won’t keep you long, however. Since it’s the first weekend of spring, hopefully you have some warm weather and pretty blossoms to enjoy. That’s why I have curated this sale listing with only the very best deals that I think are worthy of your attention. Let’s get you to the very best sales and out the door! These are the top spring sales to shop this weekend.

When you shop through my links I potentially earn a commission on your purchases, but at no additional cost to you. Thank you so much for supporting my work here by shopping my links. Items that have been gifted to me by the associated brand are indicated with “c/o”.
Paige Friends & Family: 25% off Sitewide
Paige is my absolute favorite source for denim. Yes, I also like my Madewell, Mother and Ayr jeans, as well as a few others. But truly, Paige surpasses them all. These are jeans I can wear all day every day. Below I’m wearing the Paige Sasha in Crisp White. This is a full length, 32″ inseam jean with a true high rise of 11 3/4″. I size up in them for a really great fit. I wish I had a better photo to share with you, but I just got these in days ago and haven’t had a chance to have James photograph them.
NOTEWORTHY: Paige offers FREE domestic shipping and returns. They do have a lot of jeans in PETITE SIZES, but not all. And they are a premium denim brand, so your jeans will feel amazing, wear well and fit beautifully once you find the right ones for you. Paige also carries other stylish clothes besides denim.
At Paige, I also love and have several pairs of the Anessa. This super popular jean comes in a huge range of colors and washes, several inseams and different pocket design. It’s a wide leg jean with a high rise, too, but fits a little differently than the Sasha. I think the Sasha is a little slimmer in the legs. I’m wearing an ankle length Anessa wide leg jean in Bespoke in 27″ inseam below. It also comes in a Petite wide leg jean in the same wash.
Other good jeans that I have or have worn in the past are the Stevie straight leg jean, the Laurel Canyon bootcut jean and the Cindy slim leg jean. I generally size up to a 31 in Paige, but I’ve had the occasion 30 or even 29, depending on the stretch and cut of the jean. Fortunately Paige does offer FREE RETURNS if the return is initiated within 30 days of purchase.
The J.McLaughlin Step Into Spring: Save Up to $350
I love shopping J.McLaughlin for their slightly preppy, elevated casual styles. They generally feature feminine colors, imaginative prints, lovely details and sometimes performance fabrics. Just through Sunday, spend and save up to $350 at J.McLaughlin. Spend $400 and save $100; Spend $700 and save $200; and spend $1000 and save $350.
NOTEWORTHY: Standard shipping is $9.95, but it’s FREE on orders over $150. They gladly accept returns within 30 days of purchase and you can return to a store for FREE, but there is a $9.95 restocking fee charged on items shipped. I generally wear my true size medium or 10 at J.McLaughlin, but size up on their button front shirts. They also have beautiful shoes and handbags, and they also have styles for men.
In the outfit above I’m wearing one of their lightweight spring cashmere sweaters (notice the beautiful texture in the knit; it comes in other colors, too) and a versatile neck scarf featuring a fun zebra print.
I also have this gorgeous cashmere & silk scarf, which is perfect for travel. You can see it in yesterday’s daily outfits post. And I also wore this easy shirt from J.McLaughlin this week. I ordered a sort of short sleeve version of it yesterday, as well as this linen shirt. I’ve rounded up additional favorites below.
Splendid Friends & Family: Save 30% with code FAMLOVE
Splendid is a fairly new brand to me, but I’m loving what I’m seeing. Right now you can save 30% sitewide with code FAMLOVE (excluding the Splendidx@cellajaneblog spring collection). This US business started off with the pursuit of the perfect t-shirt, so I’d definitely lean into those. The navy and white striped V-neck t-shirt below has become a fast favorite, and I have it in white, too. It’s super soft, has a full fit with a slightly cropped length, and I love the contrasting stripes at the neckline. It fits true to size for a generous fit.
NOTEWORTHY: Splendid offers FREE ground shipping within the contiguous United States for orders over $99. They also offer FREE returns from within the contiguous US on products that qualify. I find their products to run true to size and I wear a medium in everything I’ve ordered so far.
But I also recently got in these cropped pants, these full length denim lounge pants and this summer sweater, and they’re all perfect for a casual lifestyle. I gathered a few more of my favorites in the shopping widget below.
Nordstrom Spring Savings Event
Because so many brands are having friends & family sales this weekend, Nordstrom is price-matching. So you’ll get great savings on wear-now styles from name brands you love. And you won’t see these prices again probably until the end of the season. Yes, a couple of the brands I’ve shared above – Paige and Splendid – are included in the Nordstrom Spring Savings Event, but you’ll find more sizes and styles for those at their own websites, and I think those two are worth checking out.
NOTEWORTHY: Nordstrom always offers FREE shipping and FREE returns (there are a few third party exceptions), and you can join the Nordy Club for free to accumulate points toward Nordy Notes.
But you’re going to find so many other familiar brands included in the Nordstrom Spring Savings Event, too. For instance, my trench jacket from Rails, shown above and below, is included in the sale. (I removed the belt that day.) And the London Fog trench jacket I have is also temporarily marked down. Remember, all of these are temporary markdowns. The prices will go back up, some of them as soon as Monday.
Vince is also having a friends and family event, so you’ll find a lot of new arrivals from Vince temporarily discounted at Nordstrom. I purchased these linen blend crop pants and this button-up shirt with Nordy notes yesterday. And I already own this silk blouse (in green) and this cashmere sweater in mulberry. Also I tried on this ribbed Johnny collar top and really like it.
I’ve gathered more of my favorites that are marked down in the Nordstrom Spring Savings Event below.
Madewell Insiders Event: Save 25% Sitewide + extra 40% off Sale
I’m actually quite surprised at how long they’ve now been running the Madewell Insiders Event, but it’s still worth checking out. You might even want to take a second look. Insiders are simply those who have set up a free account at Madewell, and if you haven’t done that you can do so for free and still take advantage of the 25% off sitewide.
NOTEWORTHY: All Insiders get FREE shipping and FREE returns all the time. They carry a wide range of sizes, and many items come in petite and tall sizes, too.
Madewell is a great source for modern classic clothes, mostly for a casual lifestyle. This is one of those stores that I lean into to keep my wardrobe youthful and current.
You might want to check out my recent blog post, Why Shop the Spring Madewell Insiders Event for more details about sizing and why I enjoy their styles so much. Recently I got in my package from shopping the event. In fact, I’m wearing these linen pants right now, and the coordinating linen blazer works beautifully with it. I got my usual size medium in both and they fit nicely. I also got this pretty blouse. But I’ve also collected my favorites below.
Athleta Friends & Family: 30% off Everything + extra 10% off
I almost forgot to shop the Athleta Friends and Family spring event myself. But that would be a big mistake. They’re my favorite source for activewear – think weight training, cardio workouts, golf, tennis, etc. – but I also love their Endless High Rise Pants for travel and even hiking.
I also highly recommend their Venice High Rise Track Stripe Wide Leg Pant which is currently so on trend for everyday wear. But definitely consider their active wear, too. I’ve collected my favorites below. This sale ends Monday night.
Thanks so much for dropping in. To keep up to date on all the best deals and sales, be sure to subscribe to my daily or weekly email newsletter. I provide so much extra for my subscribers.
Blessed for My Day
Sometimes we get off of our routines on the weekend. In various ways, that can be good. We need a shift in schedule and activity sometimes. But some routines are worthy of keeping every day. Eating well, getting to bed on time, going for a walk, etc. And I’ve found that every day is better when I begin it by reading my Bible.
Have you read something in the Bible recently that spoke powerfully to you? I’d love to hear about it today. Share with me a verse or precept that you read recently in God’s Word.
John 11, the resurrection of Lazarus. Jesus can do what medical experts and scientists would all say is completely and utterly impossible – bring a dead person back to life. 🙂 Nothing is impossible with God.
