As a native New Yorker, there are certain things in the city that are just natural, or a given. A morning run to Starbucks for coffee, a busy manicure place on a Friday, no available washing machines on a Sunday, and, Macys. The store, which in case you didn’t know, is basically an island unto itself has been a Nyc mainstay since the days of A Miracle on 34th Street. Millions line up around it in November each year to watch the floats and celebrate the Thanksgiving crowds. And millions also each year, shop the annual sales, hunting for the best deals of the season in fashion, home and more.This year again, the Macys Friends & Family saleis upon us, and with huge door-busters, and major sales, it’s sure to boost more then just the number of crowds.
In a store this big it can be hard to navigate what you want, especially if you don’t know. And with big sales across almost all departments, from apparel to Mothers Day jewelry, to housewares, you can find a good deal on practically anything you need or want. If you need some direction or focus, however, here are a few of the key fashion trends you should not miss while shopping the Macys Friends & Family Sale.
1. Stripes are still huge this summer, and I love the updated version on this Tommy Hilfiger colorful dress
2. This summer you need at least one LWD. That is, a little white dress. The Kensie version is perfect, and with double sales, it’s a steal. Kensie a line cocktail dress
3. The Wide leg, or Gaucho pant was in last season, and it’s still around, this time in more sleeker versions with fun prints and silk styles.

4. A one piece bathing suit. I absolutely adore the shape and style of this one so much I might have to scoop it up myself!

5. Okay, yes I’ve already mentioned slip on sneakers several times this season, but that’s just because I love them so much. When they are considered ‘less trendy’ then they are right now, and a little less ubiquitous, I will still be rocking them. I love the color of this pair, plus they are a steal!!!!
