A few weeks ago, I told myself I wasn’t going to shop as much this spring so I could contribute more to my 401(k). Then, the sun started to shine a little bit more each day and I remembered that my actual day job is to shop. So, yeah, that goal is toast. But I’m not mad about it since the Nordstrom new arrivals section is so, so good right now. It’s full of top brands like Ugg, Le Creuset, New Balance, Madewell and Spanx — you know, just to casually name a few.
Don’t worry, I was able to exercise some self-control and tighten my shopping cart down to a realistic number of must-buys. From the happiest Tory Burch bag and a must-have white T-shirt to a brand-new pair of Nike Cortez sneakers, scroll below to shop my 21 editor-approved April Nordstrom new arrivals for spring.
I love a good Birkenstock. They last forever and have the most supportive footbeds. However, they’re not the chicest — until I saw this pair of pink big buckle Birks. There’s just something about the large gold buckle seriously elevates the classic look.
You can never have too many pairs of streamlined black trousers. Made of stretch-woven fabric, these comfortable pants are definitely going to be my new go-to whether it’s for a day in the office or a night out on the town.
I can never have too many white tees in my closet! The flattering cut of this shirt is the perfect combination of casual and cool. And who doesn’t love a pocket?! It comes in other neutral colors, too, like black and navy.
The darling embossed petal design on this Le Creuset braiser is such a fun addition to any kitchen. It comes in four colors, but I love the Honey shade for spring.
Yes, these Ugg pajamas are technically pajamas, but they’re also great for lounging, running errands and even wearing as separates throughout spring and summer. No one will ever guess they’re PJs.
Aesthetic travel gear is my jam, and Béis is the expert in it. This spacious tote features a removable bottom that doubles as a packing cube so you can fit, well, everything. Trust me: Your weekend trips will never be the same. Choose from black or beige.
I have a zillion fluffy lounge sweaters, but I need something a little more refined — like this pullover! The black tips add a polished look to the cozy rib fabric, making it ideal for nice dinners, work and a casual weekend day (paired with jeans, duh).
This is the first reissue of the classic New Balance 550s — 35 years later. It has the same vibes and durable leather of the original pair, plus pastelish yellow details that make it perfect for spring.
Mary Janes have officially been dubbed spring’s “it” shoes — and I couldn’t be more thrilled. These sweet embellished floral socks pair beautifully with a classic black pair.
The asymmetric top adds a bit of edge to this slouchy leather tote. Plus, I can never resist a good bow detail. Grab it in black or truffle (a green-brown tone).
The Fresh Sugar Lip Balm and Sugar Lip Mask have been a go-to of my mom’s for as long as I can remember. That’s why I am getting her this bundle for Mother’s Day. The day-to-night moisture set is valued at $43, so I’m saving $12 on two superhero lip products.
A sweet and whimsical clip is my favorite way to fix a bad and lazy hair day. The flower accents of this fun one will totally switch up any basic ponytail, and therefore my entire mood.
I adore a good pair of comfy-cute pants. Made of pure cotton, this striped pair from Topshop will take me from spring through fall (and probably through winter, too).
I love a good Tory Burch tote, but I’m planning to switch it up this season with this convertible crossbody purse. It comes in five colors, but this pastel blue shade has my heart.
You will never catch me without sunscreen — even in the dead of winter when I have zero plans to go outside. This blendable skin tint with SPF from Supergoop! (aka the sunscreen mecca) promises a smooth, skin-like finish. Grab it in 13 shades.
I’ve been meaning to upgrade my underwear drawer for a while — but finding the right pair of underwear that won’t show panty lines isn’t the easiest. However, this no-show option from Spanx is seamless and has a bonded waistband that will keep them invisible. Choose from multiple colors including nude and black.
All of the traditional trench staples are featured on this versatile coat, from a storm flap to a double-breast closure. It also feels like something Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy would’ve worn, right?
Who doesn’t love a Nike Cortez? The classic 70s-style shoe in this chocolate brown shade pairs so well with all of those warm-weather looks — think jeans, a casual midi dress, leggings and more.
Have you ever seen a dress so perfect for sunny spring weekends and casual weddings? I haven’t. The smocked bodice and swingy skirt are seriously flattering on everyone. Plus, it has pockets. Pockets!
You can’t go wrong with a pair of cat-eye sunglasses. This pair of universally flatting sunnies in a sweet, blush pink shade looks way more expensive than just $15.
Basic styles are always great, especially in the land of well-made cardigans. However, this slouchy knit V-neck style in a neutral gray comes with some extra spice in the form of sparkly bows.
