As an avid Nordstrom shopper and Who What Wear editor, I pretty much know the retailer's site like the back of my hand. I can rattle off a list of my favorite brands it carries and point you in the direction of the best affordable buys of the moment. Usually, this includes plenty of solid wardrobe staples and foundational fashion items that the retailer has plenty of. And while 90% of the time I spend perusing the site is focused on those essentials, the other 10% I can be found swooning over some of the less-talked-about Nordstrom items that are absolutely beautiful.
Today is all about that 10%. Here, I've curated a list of the items that I currently can't stop staring at, thinking about, and, honestly, drooling over. They may not qualify as the most pragmatic buys of all time, but who even cares when they're this stunning? From the winged and floral-adorned kitten-heel pumps from the Prada F/W 23 runway to the velvet-lined, iridescent, sheer top from Interior, these are officially the most beautiful—and otherworldly—Nordstrom items right now. Scroll on to admire them, and don't be shocked when you find them invading your dreams.
They don't have to be practical when they look this good.
The Greek goddesses would be envious.
Happy anniversary to me and this top. It's been a full calendar year since Interior released it, and that marks 365 days of my desire for it.
This isn't just a handbag—no, it's an entire movement.
And I'd style it exactly like this.
Front, back, side. There are no bad angles of this striking top.
I'm already in a trance.
To me, you are perfect.
*The* shoes of the season.
In a word, hot.
And it looks so expensive.
I thought I was tiring of the cutout trend, but this dress is like a shot of espresso.
A black blazer may not sound like anything special, but the waist-defining shape of this one is anything but boring.
I want you, I need you.
Is your jaw on the floor, too?
Artsy.
Call the Louvre because this deserves to be in a museum.
The beauty of this deconstructed coat is all in the raw-edge details.
I could stare at you all day long.
Oooh.
Complicated in a good way.
Sharp.
Just wow.
Have you heard? Bubble jewelry is the next big thing.
Halters like this make my heart go boom-boom.
Asymmetry at its finest.
I'm soothed just looking at this.
A Hailey Bieber–inspired pick.
J'adore.
Tick off multiple trends in one go.
This texture, though.
A bag that looks like it came from the year 3023.
