As a Senior Fashion Editor, here are the 36 Nordstrom items I’m suggesting to all my fashion-savvy friends.

      I have been shopping professionally for almost ten years, so it's no surprise that my friends, even those who share my passion for fashion, turn to me for shopping advice whenever they're looking to browse. I'm familiar with the intricacies of every brand and retailer's website and have built relationships with sales associates throughout the city, which allows me to learn about new arrivals and nearly out-of-stock deals ahead of most people. This situation is beneficial for my friends but a bit of a burden for my finances.

      Recently, a couple of my friends approached me for assistance with a Nordstrom shopping spree. One had a gift card, while the others were just eager to shop, and I was more than happy to compile a list of editor-approved picks to help them get started. There are affordable gems from brands like COS, Madewell, and Open Edit, alongside high-end pieces from Toteme, Celine, and Khaite. I made sure to include a variety of contemporary items, catering to various budgets.
