The countdown for Amazon Prime Day is officially on. From July 8 through July 11, the marketplace is offering Prime Members some of the best deals ever on everything from home essentials to trendy wardrobe styles. And while our carts are already bursting ahead of the sale event, Amazon Prime Day isn’t the only sale to consider. With Fourth of July weekend leading straight into Prime Day, there are tons of Prime Day alternative sales, too.
Right now, you can score savings across a bunch of different retailers, including Peace Out Skincare (which is offering our readers an exclusive 25% off sitewide with code STYLE25), Blue Nile, Target, Walmart, Lululemon, ULTA (psst: you can get the Shark FlexStyle for $100 off right now!), and more. Plus, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts the day after Prime Day (July 12), but you can already shop the preview deals.
Take advantage of these sales and shop some of our favorite finds, ahead.
Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Peace Out Skincare, Blue Nile, and QVC are STYLECASTER sponsors, however, all products in this article were independently selected by our editors.

Ahead of Amazon Prime Day, Peace Out Skincare is offering STYLECASTER readers an exclusive discount. Use promo code STYLE25 to snag 25% off sitewide, including the brand’s coveted overnight sheet mask and acne healing dots.
This is the best week to splurge on fine jewelry at Blue Nile. In celebration of Fourth of July weekend, the online jeweler is offering up to 30% off select jewelry, like the Double-Bail Lab-Grown Diamond Solitaire Pendant (now under $600) and the Inside Out Lab-Grown Diamond Round Hoops (now under $800).
QVC is notorious for having so many hidden deal gems, especially in July which the retailer calls its “Black Friday in July” event. You’ll find discounts across all categories (home, beauty, style, and more) for big-name brands like Dyson, Shark, Ninja, and more. The only catch is that sometimes the deals will only last a couple days, so if you see a price you like, you should act on it quickly. If you’re new to QVC, use the code HELLO30 for an addition 30 percent off your order (yes, really).
Target is also ringing in the Fourth of July weekend with up to 30% off clothing and swim, like the Future Collective High-Rise Sweater Wrap Mini Skirt and the Wild Fable Colorblock Extra High-Leg Cheeky One Piece Swimsuit. Plus, you can score other deals like up to 50% off pool toys, BOGO 25% off select ice creams and popsicles, up to 60% off patio furniture, and up to 30% off kitchen and dining.
On top of that, Target’s own version of Prime Day—aka Target Circle Week—starts on Sunday, July 6 and runs through July 12 with exclusive deals for Target Circle members.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is almost here. The sale kicks off on July 12 (the day after Amazon Prime Day ends), but you can already preview all of the deals so you’re ready to rock once the prices officially drop. We’re using this sale as an opportunity to snag our bucket list boots (hello, Frye Kate Block Heel Boot) and a fresh pair of Levi’s Baggy Dad Jeans.
Walmart is known for its Rollbacks—and they get even better right around the Fourth of July. Right now, you can snag all kinds of July Fourth Rollbacks, including discounts on patio furniture and decor, tech devices, kitchen and dining, and clothing. It’s also a great time to stock up on summer essentials like the Livhil Mesh Beach Bag Tote (on sale for only $13) and the Fantaslook Jumpsuit (on sale for only $17).
You don’t have to wait until the end of summer to score savings on swimwear. Right now, Vitamin A is offering an up to 60% off sale, which includes its stunning bikinis and one-piece swimsuits like the Vitamin A Cosmo One Shoulder One Piece, as well as chic cover-ups, like the Vitamin A Playa Romper, both of which are on sale for over $60 off.
If you want to save on Lululemon, you can always find great deals on the site’s We Made Too Much section. This sale section features a constant rotation of Lululemon finds (including bestselling styles) for a fraction of their full price. There are just two catches: the deals don’t always stick around (so you’ll want to add to cart ASAP), and the items are final sale. We’ve already got the Lululemon Wunder Under SmoothCover High-Rise Tight and the Lululemon Pace Rival High-Rise Short in our carts!
Ahead of Fourth of July and Prime Day, you can save on high-end home textiles from Brooklinen. Right now, Brooklinen is offering 20% off sitewide, so you can score some good savings on everything from the Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Hardcore Sheet Bundle to the Brooklinen Dreamweave Waffle Bed Blanket.
Old Navy is on something good these days, with so many cute and trendy styles that look like the likes of GAP and J.Crew only so much cheaper. And, in honor of the Fourth of July, the budget-friendly retailer is running a Summer Sale with 40 to 70% off clothing, accessories, and more. We’re currently eyeing the Old Navy Cropped Lace Button-Down Shirt for under $25 and the trendy Old Navy Mid-Rise Baggy Cut-Off Jean Shorts for just $22.
If you want to stock up on some cute and trendy clothing styles for the summer, Abercrombie is where it’s at. This is our go-to destination for summer vacation wardrobes because everything is so chic and looks cute while frolicking around the streets of Europe. Right now, the retailer is offering 20 to 50% off everything, plus an additional 20% off clearance items, so you can grab pieces like The A&F Sienna Mini Skort and the Narrow Rectangular Sunglasses for less than their original price.
Lola Blankets makes some of the best throw blankets ever (we may or may not have several on our couch right now) and right now you can snag 40% off sitewide with promo code JULY40 when you shop the Lola Blankets Fourth of July sale. That means the large classic Lola Blanket is $180 (was $299) and the large weighted Lola Blanket is $233 (was $389). You can also splurge on your fur babies and snag the small Lola Pet Bed for $149 (was $249).

The ULTA Big Summer Beauty Sale is officially here with some of the best deals on skincare, makeup, and more through July 19. Take advantage of deals like BOGO 40% off skin, sun, and body care, up to 40% off jumbos, BOGO 50% off curl brands, and up to 40% off makeup. Some deals are only temporary, though, and won’t last the entire sale, so you’ll want to hit add to cart ASAP.
If you’ve had your eyes on the Taylor Swift POPFLEX skirt, now is the time to buy. On Friday, July 4, POPFLEX is hosting a one day sale with 20% off sitewide. That means you can score the Pirouette Skort for $48 (was $60) and other cute POPFLEX activewear styles like the Cut It Out Dress for $72 (was $90).
