If you're already planning ahead for what you'll be wearing for fall, I've curated a list of cool finds to add to your cart for the upcoming season, specifically in the shoe department. For this edit, I headed straight to Nordstrom—a destination for everything from designer investment buys to great pieces at an affordable price point. With quite literally tens of thousands of shoes on the retailer's website, I sifted through all of the pieces to bring you the key items I'm eyeing for the upcoming season.
There are so many buzzy styles to know about, including the just-dropped platforms from Matthieu Blazy's debut collection for Bottega Veneta, the Miu Miu satin ballerina flats fashion insiders are scooping up, and the Prada Mary Janes that are carving themselves out as the It shoes of the season. As always, though, I'm also focused on buying timeless closet staples that I can own for the years ahead, so you'll find plenty of those here as well. From penny loafers to cowboy boots to retro sneakers, these are the cool Nordstrom fall shoe finds that made the cut.
