Birkenstock, Madewell, Kate Spade Outlet, Ulta

I couldn’t think of a better way for June to end than with major sales on everything from celebrity-worn shoes to shopper-loved hair care. And this weekend, there are four sales I’m quickly shopping.

Rue La La quietly marked down a handful of Birkenstock’s most iconic styles (yes, including the sandals stars wear on repeat), and at Madewell, you can grab summer staples for less than $35 thanks to its double-discount sale. Kate Spade Outlet slashed prices on its already marked-down bags, and Ulta has rare discounts on best-selling hair care.

4 Best Weekend Sales

Rue La La Birkenstock Sale

Rue La La is the under-the-radar online retailer that has secret sales on classic and luxury brands; all you need to access them is an email. While there are hundreds of brands you could explore—like Mother, A.L.C., and Zimmermann—I’m personally shopping the retailer’s Birkenstock sale, which is full of versatile summer sandals on rare markdown. These pink Arizona sandals—you know, the ones worn by everyone from Margot Robbie to Reese Witherspoon—are 36 percent off, and this black pair (a little more practical) is on sale for $110. Also worth considering: the brand’s Boston Clogs, the surprising shoe that’s become a supermodel staple.

Madewell Under $35 Sale

Madewell added a number of new summer arrivals and best-sellers to its sale section—some of which you shop for $35 and under. Plus, take an extra 30 percent off the already-discounted items with the code COOLDOWN. One of the easiest purchases you’ll make all weekend is this now-$23 white tank top that features knotted straps, an updated take on the classic style. And you can’t go wrong with these now-$35 straight-leg jeans, which the brand’s SVP of Denim Design told me will be 2024’s hottest silhouette. And shoppers are gravitating toward this 68-percent-off cotton shirt dress, which has been added to more than 1,000 carts this week alone. “It’s a classic,” said one fan of the style, noting that it works for pretty much every occasion. Sneakers and a tote bag give it an everyday feel, while heeled sandals and a shoulder bag take it to night.

Kate Spade Outlet Sale-on-Sale

Outlet stores are my biggest hack for elevating a wardrobe on a budget, and Kate Spade’s just proved why, marking down more than 100 already-discounted styles by an extra 20 percent. One of the best deals is on the 78-percent-off Dana Tote Bag, a style shoppers call “stylish and practical.” I’m personally eyeing the seriously chic Leila Hobo Shoulder Bag—it’s spacious without being massive—as well as this $32 wristlet that one person said is perfect for carrying essentials when you’re “on the go.”

Ulta Big Summer Beauty Sale

Ulta’s ending June with its Big Summer Beauty Sale, and new markdowns are added weekly. This weekend is all about hair care, with one of the best deals being Biolage’s jumbo Volume Bloom Shampoo, designed to give thin, flat hair a boost of volume. For anyone looking to reverse thinning, there are two sales you won’t want to miss: Now $24, Bondi Boost’s HG Thinning Hair Shampoo is loved by more than 8,4000 shoppers, while celebrity-favorite brand, Nioxin, put its System 4 Shampoo on rare sale. Fans of the latter report seeing a reduction in hair loss after just a few uses and new growth within three months.
