As a shopping editor, I spend a good amount of time sourcing deals on the internet. I love the thrill of finding something I want at a discount, especially if it's a trending product or something I've long been coveting. One of my favorite retailers for scoping out under-the-radar markdowns on today's biggest brands is Nordstrom Rack.

If you love shopping for designer clothes, Nordstrom Rack offers a wide assortment of items at different price points, so you can find popular wardrobe essentials at a price that suits your budget. The retailer is home to hundreds of top brands and designers like Michael Kors, Gucci, Nike, Topshop, Ugg, and more. Best of all, Nordstrom Rack is constantly hosting sales, so you can save even more on already discounted products. Case in point: Nordstrom's Clear the Rack savings event.

Happening now through May 27, shoppers can take an extra 25 percent off on clearance items at the massive Clear the Rack sale. From deals on luxury handbags to savings on summer essentials like swimsuits and cute sandals, there's something for everyone to shop (and love!). To get you started, I've curated a list of the best deals from Nordstrom's Clear the Rack event. Keep reading to shop my picks.

A Faux-Leather Handbag

Capelli New York Croc Embossed Faux-Leather Shoulder Bag ($7, originally $22)

Even the most basic outfits will benefit from having this faux-leather shoulder bag incorporated into it. The lightweight accessory boasts ample interior space, with enough room to hold just the basics — like your iPhone, cardholder, emergency lipstick, and statement sunnies.

A Tank Top

Avec Les Filles Seamless Tank Top ($14, originally $69)

Catch us sporting this seamless tank top all summer long. The style is made from an airy fabric that's breathable and designed to be worn in even the warmest temperatures. You can dress the piece down with a pair of high-waisted jeans and sneakers or dress it up with leather shorts, a statement blazer, and pumps. The styling versatility is truly endless.

Cargo Pants

Topshop Corduroy Straight Leg Cargo Pants ($15, originally $93)

Like many '90s style trends, cargo pants are having a major moment this season, and this corduroy variation offers a cozy take on the classic bottom. We love its flattering design and functional side pockets, which are deep enough to hold your iPhone or wallet, so you can forgo carrying a purse altogether.

A Contour Bra

Natori Bliss Perfection Underwire Contour Bra ($16, originally $68)

Let's be real: bra shopping isn't always the most fun activity, but finding a great deal on a coveted style can make it all the more enjoyable. This foam-lined bra provides ample support, all while giving breasts a subtle lift. We love its playful lace trim and the fact that it's available to shop in a handful of colors.

Slide Sandals

Circus NY by Sam Edelman Latasha Slide Sandal ($18, originally $85)

No summer wardrobe is complete without a staple pair of sandals, and these lime-colored slides are high on our shopping wishlists. Unlike other pairs, these shoes are wrapped in a plush fabric that provides a cloud-like comfort for feet, so you can wear them all day with ease.

A One-Piece Swimsuit

Good American Always Fits Cutout One-Piece Swimsuit ($20, originally $89)

Good American is one of our favorite brands for shopping out size-inclusive, body-hugging styles, and the label's swimwear category just got a major upgrade ahead of summer. For a limited time, select one-pieces and bikinis are marked down at Nordstrom's Clear the Rack event — including this fierce cheetah-print piece.

A Gold Vermeil Necklace

Adornia 14K Yellow Gold Vermeil Pearl Drop Y-Necklace ($20, originally $198)

Of all the fashion deals you can score on at Nordstrom Rack's Clear the Rack sale, you'll find few better than this jewelry markdown, which is now on sale for 89 percent off (yes, you read that correctly). This delicate gold jewelry is made all the more sophisticated with its pearl charm and elongated droplet design.

A Cloth Robe

Barefoot Dreams Towel Terry Cloth Robe ($60, originally $168)

Our editors are famously big fans of Barefoot Dreams — and for good reason. The brand is behind some of the coziest blankets, socks, and yes, even robes, on the market. This terry cloth style mirrors the look (and fit) of a luxurious hotel robe, but with a price tag under $100. What's not to love?

Assorted Thongs

Hanky Panky Assorted 5-Pack Lace Original Rise Thongs ($81, originally $108)

Our intimates drawer is in desperate need of an update, which is why this thong bundle is currently in our shopping carts as we speak. The set comes with five of Hanky Panky's most popular lace styles, all in unique colorways like navy blue, brown, and a rosy pink.

Designer Sunglasses

Gucci 56mm Square Sunglasses ($140, originally $450)

Deals on Gucci sunglasses are rare, which makes this find all the more exciting. The tortoiseshell frames are equal parts stylish and functional, with UV lenses that help to protect eyes from harsh sun exposure. Adjustable nose pads give the accessory an added element of comfort, so you can wear them all day without any issue.

A Cult-Favorite Styler

Dyson Airwrap Complete Styler ($350, originally $600)

This Dyson Airwrap Styler is a bit more of an investment than some of the other items in this guide, but it's a worthwhile splurge if you've been coveting the cult-favorite hair tool and want to score it on major sale (41 percent off, no less). With this product, you can create a salon-like hairstyle at home without the hassle and cost of relying on a professional.
