Should I buy this? is a question I ask myself a lot. As a shopping editor, I tend to have an embarrassingly long list of shopping picks in my cart at any given time—but especially at the start of a new season when the retailers are beaming with newness. A lot of the time, I’ll add something to our trends and market channel on Slack to see the yea-or-nay response from our edit team, or I’ll tap into my fellow senior shopping editors to get their thoughts and see what they’re buying for themselves.
This season, I was curious to see what’s in our senior shopping editors' Nordstrom shopping cart for fall. After all, our seasoned editors not only have impeccable taste, but they're always in the know of the coolest new fashion items at practically every single retailer. If you’re curious to see what we senior shopping editors are currently lusting over at Nordstrom right now, then keep scrolling below. There are elevated basics, cool boots, and trendy picks for every budget and taste.

Reformation
Dusk Stretch Organic Cotton Knit Top
Simply put, this tank top is elite.
Open Edit
Corset Blazer
I can't stop thinking about this fun and flattering black blazer.
Open Edit
Tailored Miniskirt
I always love a miniskirt, but especially when it's part of a matching set.
Saint Laurent
Blade Square Toe Slingback Sandal
Kitten-heeled slingbacks will be my go-to shoes this cold-weather season. Needless to say, these are special.
Blazers with cinched-in waists are a huge trend for fall, and this & Other Stories one is currently on its way to me. So chic.
Nordstrom
Aubrey Lizard Embossed Belt
This expensive-looking belt will pull together an outfit in an instant.
Nordstrom Signature
Cashmere Crewneck Sweater
I'm all about investing in great-quality cashmere knits. This gray crew-neck is timeless yet feels of-the-moment—think Prada F/W 23 styled with a white miniskirt, chic flats, and an oversize blazer.
Prada
Loop Bouquet Pointed Toe Flat
The most popular and prettiest shoes of the season.
Jenny Bird
Aurora Stud Earrings
I'm a huge fan of Jenny Bird jewelry—I wear my Nouveaux Puff earrings on repeat. Next on my wish list are these statement studs guaranteed to add a luxe touch to all my outfits.
Cos
Wool Wide Leg Trousers
The perfect pair of wide-leg trousers does exist.
Linea Paolo
Celeste Slingback Pointed Toe Flat
Sleek flats are having a major moment right now, and these slingbacks are guaranteed to elevate all my fall outfits.
Barbour
Gunnerside Waxed Cotton Jacket
I'm a Barbour girl through and through—this latest release is at the top of my wish list.
Open Edit
Rylan Zip Moto Bootie
I'm leaning into this season's dominant moto-boot trend with this well-priced pair from Open Edit.
I missed out on getting this shirt last year, and I completely regretted it, so imagine my excitement to see it back again. I love the blue color and the long length. I'd likely wear it with a slip skirt or leggings along with riding boots.
French Connection
Saskia Sheer Yoke Midi Dress
I am all for the sheer details and the neckline of the dress. It feels like something Gwyneth Paltrow wore in the '90s meets current Miu Miu, which is a major plus in my book.
Citizens of Humanity
Ayla Baggy Organic Cotton Wide Leg Jeans
Cuffed jeans are one of my favorite denim trends of the moment. This cool pair takes the cake. I would opt to only cuff and not completely roll them up after seeing how Monikh Dale styles them.
Band of the Free
Scurry Flat Mule
These minimalist flats are giving me major The Row vibes. The price made me do a double take—I can't believe they are under $100.
Toteme
Suede Hobo Bag
Toteme everything, all the time. Its bags are timeless and incredibly chic, plus they are priced more reasonably than most designer bags.
& Other Stories
Mock Neck Sweater
This sweater feels fresh thanks to its mock-neck design—the neck style is super on-trend and for good reason. I love how it's styled here, tucked just so into jeans.
Open Edit
Corset Blazer
This hourglass blazer is the epitome of chic and will instantly elevate any look. I plan on wearing it alone with a great pair of jeans and chic flats.
