I Shop for a Living and I Get All the Best Gifts at Nordstrom

Nordstrom has always been a shopping destination for special things so when you’re shopping for someone special it just makes sense to start there. I was a personal shopper at Nordstrom for over 20 years, and I still share shopping recommendations from Nordstrom more than any other retailer. With Mother’s Day around the corner, I partnered with Nordstrom to shop their current selection, so I could share a round-up of all the best gifts at Nordstrom now. My finds are special and unique, just like all the different mommies and mentors you want to spoil.

GIFTS AT NORDSTROM FOR THE SENTIMENTAL

Personalized jewelry is always a favorite for the sentimental. There is something for every budget, from engravable everyday fine jewelry brand Monica Vinader to fun fashion-forward styles from Bauble Bar and Argento Vivo starting at under $50.

Give her a high-quality leather accessory with bespoke personalization from ROYCE. This woman-owned, fourth-generation family business celebrates its artisanal heritage and shares it with you.

CUSTOMIZED CAPSULE WARDROBES = THE BEST GIFTS AT NORDSTROM

The 9-piece casual capsule wardrobe I shared last fall was my most popular capsule wardrobe. If you switch out a few of the key pieces, you can recreate the same 65 cozy outfit combinations that now work for spring. Customize her capsule and give her a new wardrobe that matches her personality and style.

CUSTOMIZE HER CAPSULE TO MATCH HER PERSONALITY

Substitute a Short Sleeve White Tee for a Long Sleeve

Stylist Tip- If you’re short-waisted or busty on top choose a white t-shirt like these that is made with a cotton slub material that is slightly transparent.

Substitute a Jean Shirt for a Flannel

Stylist Tip – A jean shirt is such a versatile piece I’m adding one to my summer capsule wardrobe. Style one over a dress or open over a tee.

Substitute Light Wash Jeans for Dark

Stylist Tip- Try denim on denim. This looks best when the shades are similar. All of the denim pieces in this bottom row are a perfect match in person.

Substitute Lightweight Matching Sets For Warmer Ones

Stylist Tip- Vuori is the softest lightweight set I’ve found that isn’t see-through and they come in a variety of cooler colors like this heather grey.

Substitute New Graphic T-Shirt Designs for Old Ones

I’ve Been a Stylist For Almost 25 Years and Swear There Are No Good Capsule Wardrobe Examples So I’m Trademarking Mine

I've been a stylist for almost 25 years and I swear there are no good capsule wardrobe examples. Most capsule wardrobe examples either have too many pieces that leave you guessing what goes together, or a minimal mix that makes boring outfits. My capsule wardrobe examples are different. Each one includes a 7-10 item checklist of updated closet essentials, more than two weeks of different outfit ideas, and options to customize each one to match your style. Every capsule formula comes with a unique high-low mix of brands. You'll also get professional personal styling suggestions that will help you choose the best fits and variations of each style. This is my 5-step foolproof, creative capsule wardrobe formula.
