Nothing's Guaranteed in This World—Except These Nordstrom Items Winning You Compliments
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.
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.
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.
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.
