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.
