I know 42 sounds like a lot, but if you only knew how many pages of clothing and accessories grace my screen every day, along with how many of those pieces I’m compelled to add to my wish list, you’d realize that 42 is actually nothing. In fact, getting it down to that number took me a lot of editing!
With fall finally here and new arrivals dropping by the minute, there’s seriously so much to love on all our favorite sites right now, but especially the big three—Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Zara—that I had to do my thing and curate the best of the best to share with you. This goes without saying, but you won’t be disappointed. From tops and dresses to knits, shoes, and jackets, below you’ll find everything you need for this season (and the next) plus some pieces I wouldn't necessarily call essential but that were too cool to skip. So if you’re ready, just keep scrolling to get started.
Shopbop
I'm very into navy right now.
Don't forget the matching pants.
Color, shape, size—all perfection.
So glad leopard is trending this season.
Dress it up or down.
Coach hit the nail on the head with these.
This coat even has a detachable vest inside that you can wear on its own.
A friend of mine was looking for brown boots, and I recommended these.
Love a knit with a matching scarf.
It looks so expensive.
I can think of a million occasions for which this dress would work.
I think it's time I just order these.
The belt makes it.
So simple but so good.
Nordstrom
Just add jeans.
Well if it isn't the perfect pair.
The ideal toe shape.
COS doesn't miss.
Not all sweaters are created equal.
Everything is better in suede.
Corduroy collars are where it's at this season.
Fleece lined?! We need it.
So chic.
If I owned this I'd be wearing it to dinner tonight with jeans and slingbacks!
Such a good one.
Comfort is key.
I'd wear anything in this color.
I'm always game for some extra height.
Zara
Such a flattering shape.
Buy the fun bag!
I'm also taking notes on the styling.
The ZW Collection pieces are so worth it.
How can you not want to look this chic?
In my cart.
I want it in both colors.
No need to fuss with tucking it in.
Wear them with everything from dresses to skirts to jeans.
Basic is best.
No explanation necessary.
They look so expensive.
Toggle jackets are elite.
Closing it out with my latest obsession.
