It's part of my job to hunt down chic and of-the-moment fashion items worthy of your wallet from season to season and bring the best edit to you, our dear readers. There's no doubt, as I peruse fashion retailers and sites daily, I'll always keep a running tab of pieces I'd love to buy for myself (it's hard not to shop on the job!). While I'm generally not an impulse shopper (I usually keep things in my cart for a beat and see if I still love them a few days later), there are certain instances when I cannot restrain myself from jumping on an item, especially pieces I think will sell out quickly. For example, this week's perusal of Nordstrom's newest summer arrivals had me quickly adding things to my cart. If you're also looking to update your wardrobe with some seriously cool, chic, and easy summer pieces, keep scrolling below to see my summer must-haves that are too good not to share.
