    It's a pet peeve of mine when I purchase something new only to realize it's so trendy that it already feels like it's time to move on after I post myself wearing it once on Instagram. I've found that there's a fine line between fresh and on-trend and overly trendy. At the top of my shopping locales that tend to have staying power is Nordstrom. When I'm perusing the website, I'm always impressed by the number of unique yet simple pieces that, in my opinion, stand the test of time. As added good news, Nordstrom is currently having a sale, so you may even find something on your wish list at a discounted price.

    With holiday celebrations, winter vacations, and cool temperatures upon us, it feels like the perfect time to pick up a few new items that can be worn now as well as a year down the line. Currently, I have my eye on ballet-inspired flats, minimalist gold jewelry, and '90s-inspired bags from brands like Tory Burch and AllSaints. One way to find unique items is to revisit your well-loved silhouettes in new fabrics and colors. Interested in learning more about what made the cut? Ahead, I've rounded up the 30 pieces catching my eye at Nordstrom.
