I Played Nordstrom Personal Shopper—& Added These Fall Items to My Friend's Cart

Given that I’m a fashion editor, and part of my job is essentially to shop for others while I source the market for top-notch buys, my friends often tap me for sartorial guidance in regards to what’s worth buying for the season. One of the key members in my inner circle routinely shops at Nordstrom, in particular, when she's shopping given the mega-retailer’s wide assortment of basics, trendy items, and coveted shoes. So when she asked me for a few items she should consider for the season, I played Nordstrom personal shopper and sent her five specific fall items.
Naturally, I thought you could be interested in the pieces in question, so I’m sharing the items I added to my friend’s cart below.

Keep scrolling for more—you may just uncover a few fresh items to mix into your fall wardrobe.
