As a fashion editor, I'm constantly having friends ask me for shopping recommendations, favorite retailers, and trend expectations. Well, as I'm a New Yorker on a budget (who obviously loves a luxe find), the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale is a can't-miss event.
Not only are the price tags shockingly low, but the brands and pieces are also shockingly expensive looking. This is the perfect excuse to refresh your wardrobe with quality basics or just to spoil yourself ahead of the New Year. Ahead, I've created the ultimate shopping list that you, your friend, and your wallet will agree on.
