I'm an avid Nordstrom shopper. I rely on the retailer when I want to add fresh pieces to my wardrobe and when I'm searching for standout finds to recommend in my stories. Speaking of which, one of my favorite things to discover is an item that exudes a luxurious and expensive look, thanks to its modern and forward design details, all while staying under $100. It's like uncovering these hidden gems has become my specialty.
Below, you'll find an edit of the latest items that I'm loving, which have an elevated aesthetic while remaining on the more affordable side. You'll come across beautiful dresses for upcoming parties, pretty blouses that pair perfectly with jeans, and trendy shoe styles that look like they would cost triple the price.
