I'm Getting a Head Start on Summer Shopping—37 Trendy Finds Sitting at Nordstrom
Right now, I'm thinking about vacation plans, so I already have summer on the mind. I think I'm especially excited about the prospect of an upcoming trip somewhere because my travel plans have been so limited over the past few years, and I haven't had a real vacation in quite some time. Naturally, I'm already thinking about the pieces I would pack into my suitcase, so I've been digging around for the coolest summer items on the market.
Here, I'm sharing an edit from Nordstrom, so you can shop all of my finds in one place. From pretty swimwear and cover-ups to date-night tops and event-worthy dresses to designer heels and affordable sandals, there are so many trendy finds on my shortlist. Ahead, take a look at the 37 cool Nordstrom summer shopping finds sitting in my cart. I promise there are some pieces you'll want in your suitcase.
I'll never stop loving Isa Boulder's ruched swimsuits.
