It’s that time of the year! Sales typically abound in July, from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, to Amazon Prime Days but this year Prime Days are coming early! So, rev up shopping engines, ladies!

Once a year, Amazon blows the roof off the site, with hundreds of retailers participating in a two-day parade of epic deals, starting June 21 at 12am through June 22.

Prime Day is an annual celebration with awesome deals and exciting product launches, plus live entertainment and more, exclusively for Prime members.  If you’re not familiar with the Prime program, or are on the fence about becoming an Amazon Prime member, now is the time to join, and take advantage of all the deals! You can try the service for 30 days, free of charge.

Right now, some of the early offers include deals on Alexa products and 20% off daily essentials. (Editor’s Note: You won’t believe how inexpensive pantry items are via Amazon. For bigger cities, like New York or San Francisco, where the cost of living is extremely high, many residents take advantage of the low prices Amazon offers on these goods.)

Here are PRiME Women’s Picks for Prime Day:

Naturally, some of the items with the biggest discount are Amazon products created to enhance life and bring added convenience and connection. Amazon also offers discounts on Amazon Unlimited Music, and Kindle Unlimited.

Stay connected with family all over the world, get assistance with recipes in the kitchen, connect to security system, and more with the Echo Show 5. This is a compact smart display with Alexa installed, and a camera for video chatting.

Regularly $90 and instead it is currently $44.99!

 

Have your own Bluetooth speaker? Turn it into an Alexa-enabled device, with the Echo Input, which will be discounted to $15, from $35.

Other Amazon Tech:

Other Tech Deals

Some of the only iPad deals you will find, exists during Prime Days.

Apple iPad 128GB model for $329 (save $100), or 32GB for $249 (save $80)

Another Tip: You can often find big discounts on tech offerings, by shopping the ‘previous’ model, as opposed to the newest. This can be very handy when shopping for items that don’t require the latest and greatest to be solid purchases, especially kitchen appliances. Keep an eye out for this option on Prime Day!

Fashion, Beauty & Accessories

Up to 40% off Certified Fine Jewelry

 

We love this Ross-Simons necklace, featuring 14k gold, and certified 10.80-17.90 ct. t.w. Multi-Gemstone. Regularly $500, with 40% off: $300.

 

 

This wonderful golden pearl necklace, also from Ross-Simons, is regularly $1400, with 40% off: $840

Amazon has its own fashion line, as well as having exclusive deals with designers, bringing them in-house, similar to the way Nordstroms has 23 in-house designers, like BP and Halogen.

One of the brands we’re watching for Prime Day discounts is Lark & Ro. If you’re familiar with MM LaFleur, this brand is focused on chic day wear, great for the office, but casual enough for everyday style.

We’re loving the dresses offered, like this cap sleeved ‘fit and flare’ dress, regularly $45

Amazon Essentials is a great resource for padding closet with affordable wardrobe essentials, and likely to have deep discounts on Prime Day. Amazon prides itself on “listening to customers to fine tune each and every detail.”

We’re loving these linen drawstring pants, available in 9 colors, currently $25. 

You’ll have to be ready to check Amazon.com often on July 15 & 16, as most of the best discounts are offered as “Lightning Deals”, so we have to wait and see what those options will be.

Happy Shopping Amazon Prime Days!
