There are a few surefire ways to turn around a subpar day for me. I could go on a run, eat a great meal with people I love, or rewatch a sporting event I already know ends in my favor. Nothing, however, flips a switch in me quite like a good shopping haul. Now that I think about it, this is probably why I made doing just that my life's work. I could spend hours scrolling through a retailer's offering without ever getting bored, and with every discovery I make, I grow hungrier for more. I won't stop until I believe with every fiber of my being that I've discovered the very best of what's available, which, as it happens, is what I did today.
Below, you'll find the result of a four-hour-long hole I fell into at Nordstrom, which I began as a remedy for a bad night's rest. Coffee wasn't helping, but shopping did the trick. Suddenly, my energy levels were sky-high, and my shopping cart was stacked with truly remarkable pieces for the season ahead and all of 2025 really. You'll find essentials like sweaters, denim, and outerwear as well as standout accessories, shoes, and handbags that are guaranteed to win you compliment after compliment, no matter how you style them or where you wear them. Nothing's guaranteed in this world—I know that—but I'm 99% confident that a "Where'd you get that?" awaits anyone who snags one of the 50 pieces below.
Whenever a T-shirt isn't dressy enough, trade it in for this off-the-shoulder knit top. It's just as versatile but a touch more formal.
Made of a mix of wool and cashmere, this luxe column skirt will work miracles to keep you warm later this fall and winter.
The patent material makes these slingbacks even chicer when you pair them with sheer tights.
A timeless, regret-proof choice.
Transition from late summer to fall in this dress with your shoe choice, switching from heeled thong sandals to knee-high stiletto boots.
Here's just the pair to wear from now until mid-October.
Suede handbags are in every fashion person's shopping cart right now as we approach autumn. Why not join in on the fun?
The scarf detail is detachable. Though, I have no idea why you wouldn't want to wear it.
Tuck this into a pencil skirt or high-rise trousers for an office siren look that's sure to draw praise.
This Madewell belt is a viral, best-selling sensation that I've already tried and given my stamp of approval.
A great pair of dark-wash Levi's will get you far in life.
All of the WWW editors in New York either want these almond-toe flats or already own them.
Sunglasses, in my opinion, are a 365-days-a-year accessory, especially when they look like this and cost $65.
Why am I getting Ferragamo vibes from this dress? Just add a pop of red or green to finish off the high-end, Italian energy.
After Kendall Jenner carried the green version of this new east-west Margaux clutch in Paris, it's been selling out like crazy. This black alt is still available—for now.
These are gorgeous.
I think about this dress a lot. It oddly reminds me of the one Phoebe Philo dress that Hailey Bieber wore on her NYC Rhode pop-up press tour.
These are stunning, no?
If I ever advise you against cashmere, take it as a sign that something is very, very wrong.
Same goes for 501s.
These are somehow both on-trend and utterly timeless. In other words, buy them before they sell out.
I can't get enough of these cosmetic cases turned mini top-handle bags. They're adorable.
For any tired-eyes days this fall.
The length of this slip dress makes it perfect for pairing with boots.
These boots specifically.
I stock up on these every fall. You truly can never have too many of them.
Excuse my drooling. This belt is just too delicious not to lust after.
The fit on these cargo pants is so good.
These honestly look like $300 shoes.
I'm just going to say sorry to my bank account now because I'll be too blissful later when I buy this blazer to remember to apologize.
Yes, yes, 1000% yes.
Tone down the oversize sleeves of the above blouse with this sleek column skirt.
So many people in our office own these.
The black-and-gold pairing is just so sophisticated and glamorous.
The way I ran to order this trench.
I swear I thought this bag was Khaite when I first saw it.
Throw this technical pullover on with black poplin pants or baggy white jeans and some flip-flops or jelly sandals à la The Row.
These simple black trousers would work great as well.
Finally, these restocked.
I can see Gigi Hadid wearing this polo-neck knit.
I can't believe these are still in stock.
I usually buy one new coat per season, and I think this has to be my one.
Simply lovely.
If your size is still available at this price, I don't think you have any option but to buy this beautiful cashmere pullover.
Just easy.
For any fall or winter weddings or galas in your future.
This is the perfect "throw everything in" bag for the seasons ahead.
I get strong "'90s and early '00s rom-com" vibes from this top. Don't ask me why.
Cigarette pants are back and ready to be styled in fun, modern ways.
It doesn't get better than a pair of strappy stiletto sandals.
