If you were to open up my Nordstrom app (or check out the dozens of tabs open on my laptop), there is a trusty handful of brands and designers you're guaranteed to see selected in the dropdown menu. When I mean business—like when Nordstrom has sale and I want to concentrate on hunting through the go-to brands that always speak to me—I start with these brands. 

Some of these you'll recognize and maybe a couple you won't, including one of my favorite designers from Australia and a Canadian jewelry brand that's very buzzy right now. From designer buys to wallet-friendly styles, these are the six brands at Nordstrom that never fail to tempt me (and the pieces they have on offer right now that prove why).

Jenny Bird

Like so many editors, I really love Jenny Bird’s jewelry for statement-ish pieces (which is to say that they're modern and cool but not too dramatic) at really friendly price points. The Canadian designer’s chunkier items—like the Tome earrings—are compliment magnets and much lighter than you’d expect, which makes them perfect for wearing all day every day.

Mango

Don’t forget that Mango is available at Nordstrom, especially this time of year. I’m of the opinion that Mango is at its best over the colder months and have been shouting out the quality of its winter coats and blazers for years now—I’m still wearing purchases from seasons and seasons ago that look and feel as current as ever.

Khaite

Look, I’ll stop being such a sucker for Khaite when Khaite stops bombarding me with beautiful things that speak to me the way they do. Buzzy yet-low-key. Polished but with that downtown energy. Also, I really do love a designer brand that encourages investing by bringing back some key styles season after season rather than making us feel like we always need something new. 

SIR

One of very my favorite Australian brands, SIR is always so good for modern tailoring and great dresses in colors that feel of-the-moment. 

Jeffrey Campbell

There’s really something going on with Jeffrey Campbell at the moment. Everyone’s obviously fawning over great flats and Mary Janes at the moment, and these Jeffrey Campbell styles definitely hold their own among designer picks. From trendy metallics to classic black, this footwear brings low-key cool at a really good price point. 

Nordstrom

I’m a huge fan of Nordstrom’s in-house knitwear—it hits all the key styles (crew-neck, V-neck, cardigan, chunky cable-knit, light cashmere, you name it), some of which are helpfully offered up more than a dozen colorways. (Don't miss peeping the men's section for some great options as well.)

Natalie Cantell
Executive Director, Brand Studio

Natalie leads the style direction for the all content we create in partnership with our friends at various brands plus the legendary team of editors who work on those shoots and stories. She loves collaborating and storytelling, so it's a really fun role for her. It's also the first full-time job she's ever had⁠! She started out in her career as a very mediocre model who agreed to her first styling job to impress a photographer she had a crush on, which led her down a happy path of contributing to Vogue Australia and working as a stylist, fashion writer, and creative director for all sorts of brands and titles. She has a bachelor of communications, but most of her career opportunities came up thanks to some fleeting and accidental street style moments. She's been at Who What Wear for three and a half years and still loves to work as a freelance consultant with brands and designers to shoot their campaigns in NYC. She's originally from New Zealand, and Bondi Beach is her second home, but like just about every other 20-something, she fell in love with New York at some point. She lives in Williamsburg with her fiancé and their weird little dog, Ruby. If you ever need reccies for feel-good fashion, legit coffee spots, politics podcasts, or non-intimidating yoga studios, she's very much your girl.
