I know this will sound like an exaggeration, but it isn't: Not a single two-day period has passed in the last decade that I haven't checked Nordstrom's new arrivals, perused its sale offerings, or scrolled through Space, the retailer's dedicated section for emerging and advanced designers. Even before that, I probably visited my local Nordstrom once every week if not more. For the better part of my life, Nordstrom's been a constant presence, which has allowed me to gain a very specific knowledge of what it offers, from It sneakers to buy-worthy designer bags. I know its SKUs like the back of my hand, so when shipments of cool, under-the-radar items arrive, you can bet I'm one of the first people to find them.
That's exactly why I'm here. After my most recent three-hour scroll session, I realized I'd opened 30+ tabs of pieces I felt wrong gatekeeping, including the heavy, designer-looking cardigan that WWW editors swear by, a $59 belt capable of making any outfit interesting, and the Adidas trainers in-the-know dressers are swapping their Sambas for. Everything that's good and new at Nordstrom is just a scroll away, waiting to be snatched up and shown off. Enjoy them while they last because once the 40 discoveries below go from under-the-radar to mainstream, they'll be gone in a matter of minutes.
A co-worker and I both own this sculpted V-neck cardigan and swear it's the best on the market. No notes.
