My Mom & I Think These 39 Fall Items From Nordstrom, H&M, and Amazon are Stellar

by Bobby Schuessler

My mother and I talk shopping quite often. Given my role as a fashion editor and her heightened interest in style, she’s often intrigued with the trends and specific items I’m into each season. And while we certainly have our disagreements (that’s for sure), we do often love many of the same fashion pieces—especially when it comes to elevated basics and modern staples. On that note, I showed her a smattering of fall items I’ve been particularly into while doing market research at Nordstrom, H&M, and Amazon (three stores she shops at). She then gave a thumbs up if she liked the piece. In the end, there were 39 items that got an A+.

Intrigued? Keep scrolling to check out a smattering of top-notch fall items, separated by category—including sweaters, dresses and skirts, jackets, shoes, tops, and jeans. Go on, you may just find a piece or two worth adding into your fall rotation.
