I've done my fair share of shopping, but something about Zara and Nordstrom keeps me coming back for more. Whether it's the early introduction I got to Nordstrom in my early years or the memorable shopping experiences I had at Zara during high school, these retailers have a strong hold on me. Now that I spend countless hours online shopping for work, it's no surprise a significant portion of that time is dedicated to browsing the new selections at these retailers.
During my latest browsing session of Zara and Nordstrom's spring offerings, I couldn't help but notice something remarkable. In all my years of shopping at these stores, I've never seen them both have such an incredible selection at the same time. Usually, their greatness comes in waves, with Nordstrom shining one month and Zara stealing the spotlight the next. However, it appears buyers and designers for these retailers have synchronized their efforts as spring approaches, resulting in some of the best spring pieces I've seen all year. Keep scrolling to see for yourself and discover 32 Nordstrom and Zara finds you simply can't miss.
