Ready for some fresh Nordstrom buys? The new year is almost here, and we're already off to a strong start at the retailer, and the new arrivals section is popping off right now. How do I know this? Over the past few weeks, I've done a ton of trend research for the year ahead, poring over the winter collections and scanning my social media feeds to find out what people are talking about. I usually peruse Nordstrom's site when I need to update my basics, but the buys I found on my recent search are the more special and elevated picks that I was happily surprised to see. Consider this your ultimate Who What Wear-approved edit and I'll be your shopping connoisseur.
Based on my findings, I've come to the conclusion that the 36 Nordstrom items you're about to see below—from the designer shoulder bag that will be the blueprint for every other trendy bag to the color that magically elevates anything and the fresh wardrobe basics that everyone will wear—qualify as some of the buzziest finds of the moment and will be important through the end of the year and into the next. I'm particularly excited about each of these items, and I know you will be too.
