Ready for some fresh Nordstrom buys? This year is off to a strong start already at the retailer, and the new-arrivals section is really popping off right now. How do I know this? Over the past few weeks, I've done a ton of trend research for the year ahead, poring over the spring/summer 2022 collections, studying what celebs like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber are wearing, and scanning my social media feeds to find out what people are talking about. In other words, I have a pretty good idea of what's to come in fashion this year, and I plan on shopping accordingly.

Based on my findings, I've come to the conclusion that the 36 Nordstrom items you're about to see below—from the designer shoulder bag that will be the blueprint for every other trendy bag to the color that magically elevates anything and the fresh wardrobe basics that everyone will wear—qualify as some of the buzziest finds of the moment and will be important throughout the year. I'm particularly excited about each of these items, and I know you will be too.

Topshop Oversize Blazer ~~( $123)~~ $86

This color instantly makes everything look very "fashion."

The Row Everyday Leather Shoulder Bag ($2750)

This will be the blueprint for the year's coolest bags.

Kathryn Bowen Mesh Cardigan ($310)

Barely-there cardigans are high up on my wish list this year.

Treasure & Bond Textured Blazer ($109)

The texture makes this look so expensive.

Who What Wear Selene Faux Leather Shoulder Bag ($70)

Buttermilk is the incoming color trend I have my eye on.

Jeffrey Campbell Ovr-N-Out Pump ($135)

These are such a good wallet-friendly alternative to the Versace platforms.

Simon Miller Convertible Suede Puffin Bag ($390)

I can't explain it, but I have a hunch that suede bags are coming back.

Topshop Classic Oversize Cotton Trench Coat ~~( $148)~~ $104

Luxe (and luxe-looking) staples were a prominent theme on the runways, and now, I'm craving classics like a tan trench.

Balenciaga Runner Sneaker ($1150)

Don't shoot the messenger, but I think we're about to see a lot more of these.

Astr the Label Cutout Bodysuit ($59)

Basic, a little subversive, wearable—that's the 2022 vibe I'm going for.

Thread & Supply Oversize Poplin Button-Up Shirt ($39)

Wearing kelly green just doesn't get any easier.

BY FAR Ginny Mary Jane Pump ($474)

BY FAR is a brand I always look to for the next thing since it tends to be ahead of the curve, and the brand has me wanting a pair of Mary-Jane pumps.
