By the time winter rolls around, my ongoing wish list is jam-packed with luxury items that I want to check off before the end of the year. Of course, no matter how many luxe accessories and must-have shoe styles I'm eyeing, I have to find a way to whittle my list down to the pieces that are 100% worth it. Luckily, I'm surrounded by the best in the biz, and there's one editor I always turn to for advice on this subject.
Who What Wear senior editor Kristen Nichols is our resident luxury expert, and her style is impeccable (obviously). I'm always saving her killer recommendations, whether that's the fashion set's latest It bag or where to find the most unique luxury pieces on the market. Bottom line: She knows what's up when it comes to shopping big-ticket items. It's no surprise that Kristen turns to Nordstrom (and Nordstrom Rack!) to find the chic pieces she recommends every season, and this winter is no different. She sent me a list of everything in her cart right now, and let's just say I'm about to max out my credit card. Whether you're shopping for yourself or your loved ones this holiday season, read on to see Kristen's recs.
Mark your calendars: Who What Wear Market Director Bobby Schuessler and stylist Kelly Augustine are going live to talk all things winter fashion on November 9 at 11:30 a.m. PT. See you then!
