There are a few surefire ways to turn around a subpar day for me. I could go on a run, eat a great meal with people I love, or rewatch a sporting event I already know ends in my favor. Nothing, however, flips a switch in me quite like a good shopping haul. Now that I think about it, this is probably why I made doing just that my life's work. I could spend hours scrolling through a retailer's offering without ever getting bored, and with every discovery I make, I grow hungrier for more. I won't stop until I believe with every fiber of my being that I've discovered the very best of what's available, which, as it happens, is what I did today.
Below, you'll find the result of a four-hour-long hole I fell into at Nordstrom, which I began as a remedy for a bad night's rest. Coffee wasn't helping, but shopping did the trick. Suddenly, my energy levels were sky-high, and my shopping cart was stacked with truly remarkable pieces for the season ahead and all of 2025 really. You'll find essentials like sweaters, denim, and outerwear as well as standout accessories, shoes, and handbags that are guaranteed to win you compliment after compliment, no matter how you style them or where you wear them. Nothing's guaranteed in this world—I know that—but I'm 99% confident that a "Where'd you get that?" awaits anyone who snags one of the 50 pieces below.
