One of these days, I’m going to get myself a Nordstrom credit card so I can have early access to this massive sale, because I believe a lot of the good stuff gets picked off early. Still, I found plenty to like/want, starting with this Longchamp leather bag, the likes of which I have coveted forever. (I also dig  this expandable tote, also from Longchamp).

I own  these Nili Lotan pants in black, and they’re the only higher-waisted pants that flatter me, so I might go for them in this good grey.

Also by Nili Lotan: these tailored army pants in a cute pale pink.

The dark grey shade of these Rag & Bone boots is just great, and I always like a pointy toe.

Just a really good, pretty minimal bag for fitting all your stuff, from Allsaints.

The muted colors in this top from Nili Lotan are ideal if you want to wear  a floral but don’t want to look too girly.

I have shown you this wedge sandal before—it’s from Mephisto, a brand that’s supposed to make the most comfortable, walkable shoes in creation. I haven’t ever pulled the trigger on them, but at this price I’m tempted to (BTW, click through to see the other colors it comes in if blue isn’t your thing).

I own these jeans and really like them—they’re a good, slouchy boyfriend cut, and I dig the lower waistline.

These Ray-Bans are such a cool update on the classic Wayfarer.

A good, slightly clunky, highly walkable boot is high on my list of Things I Want, and these fit the bill pretty perfectly.

I really think this faux-shearling shirt jacket looks like it could be Isabel Marant.

And here’s another shirt jacket that feels like it could be classic Celine.

The grungy 90s-ness of this oversized sweater delights me.

A sweatshirt with a kind of architectural silhouette, in the very best shade of blue.

And finally, this stretch silk shirt comes in a variety of colors, and I think is such an easy, light layer to wear under sweaters and blazers.
