In my friend group, I’ve become the go-to person when anyone is in need of fashion, shopping, and styling advice. As a fashion editor, my heart sings when I get to help people feel good in their skin, so naturally, the same goes for my closest pals and family. Recently, a friend of mine was looking to do a little retail damage and update her wardrobe with elevated pieces and summer-friendly finds. She asked for my advice on where to shop and what to buy. One thing about me is that I do not gatekeep, so I sent her all the pieces I’ve been eyeing at Nordstrom lately.

If you want a look into my brain and shopping cart, you’re in luck. I’ve decided to highlight pieces on my personal shopping list here while also throwing in a few summer-friendly gems. From pretty flowy dresses to chic accessories, you can expect a range of styles included ahead. Keep scrolling for some stylish summer shopping inspiration.
