I Spent Hours Perusing the Secret Sections of Nordstrom—These Finds Are Fabulous
 
  
For those in the know, the dropdown menus of the Nordstrom website are a treasure trove of great shopping finds. It's been a minute since I've had time to really dive deep, so today, I'm settling in with a coffee and my laptop (not just my phone—this is serious) to go down the rabbit hole and discover the best of what these hidden gems have to offer.
My main takeaways: I'm very tempted by the coziness of either a faux-fur or faux-shearling-lined coat and now convinced that a statement scarf is a fall essential—also, Nordstrom is quietly making a slew of great knitwear under its own label (including some extremely reasonably priced cashmere). From a dozen incredible knits to on-trend tights and rain-proof boots, here's the best of what I found tucked away that I'd hate for you to miss.
