Boring, Who? 30 Fresh Items New Yorkers Love From the Nordstrom Holiday Sale

As a baby New Yorker, I can tell you that the streets of the city are essentially a runway, and with the Nordstrom Holiday Sale in full swing, it's the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with pieces that scream "chic" without looking like you're trying too hard.
From sleek leather boots that will carry you through snowstorms to cozy yet stylish cashmere sweaters that look just as good with leggings as they do with tailored trousers, there's something for every downtown darling and uptown muse. I’ve already spotted a few things that have made me stop mid-step, imagining them in my own closet—like a well-tailored that adds a pop of color to those gray city mornings or a pair of minimalist gold earrings that would take any outfit from basic to elevated.
