As a fashion editor, I love using data-driven insights to bring you the best of the best shopping recommendations. I combed through last month’s shopping faves, and I uncovered some popular picks that resonated with Who What Wear readers. Along with your love of Nordstrom, H&M and Zara were noticeable favorites.
