30+ Nordstrom Finds We’re Loving

February 21, 2022

By:

It’s no secret our love for Nordstrom runs deep here at LIY. Right now, between vacation anticipation and free shipping + returns, we can’t stop [will not stop!] hitting checkout at our beloved department store. If you too, are a Nordy Girl at heart, get your shopping fingers [and your Nordstrom card] ready – so many cute spring finds are comin’ in hot! And if you’re not a self-proclaimed Nordy Girl yet, prepare to be converted, my friend. Here are 30+ items we’re loving from Nordstrom right now!

Erin’s Finds

Faux Wrap Dress

Chelsea28 Faux Wrap Dress [true to size, wearing in small] // Yaro Heels [true to size]

Hello spring, nice to see you too. If you have anything coming up that is going to require a dress [spring wedding, baby shower, vacation, you name it, I’ll find an excuse for it] this dress is a great option for it! I love the fit and that it is lined! Such a beauty! 

Blazer + Denim

Liverpool x LIY Plaid Blazer [size down one, wearing in XS] // Black Tank [size down if in between, wearing in XS] // Girlfriend Jeans [size down if in between, wearing in 2] // Dolce Vita Sneakers [true to size] 

The blazer of all blazers – I don’t think I’ve ever found one better! I’ve worn this for meetings, traveling, playing laser tag [yes, it is comfortable enough to run around with a heavy vest on and shooting away with a laser gun ;)] It’s chic + a timeless plaid and can be dressed up with heels and work pants or down with a casual pair of girlfriend jeans and the world’s most comfortable sneaker [that’s these!] 

Graphic Tee

Madewell Tee [size up if in between, wearing in medium for relaxed fit] // Girlfriend Jeans [size down if in between, wearing in 2] // Cole Haan Sneakers [true to size]

You don’t have to tell me twice to get outside – I am r-e-a-d-y. This catchy little tee is making me think spring [and is reminding me that even in the cold, I can still bundle up and get out there!] Another spring staple? Girlfriend jeans. Life is too short to only wear skinny jeans, live a little [let’s get wild ;)]  and swap up your jeans routine!

Becca’s Finds

Jo Malone Perfume

Jo Malone London Wood Sage and Sea Salt Perfume

If you’re looking for a scent that is tried and true – look no further than Jo Malone London’s Wood Sage and Sea Salt! There are several of us girls on the team that have been wearing this scent for years! And it’s not just us – this perfume has well over 1000 reviews and lands at 4.5/5 stars! I love that it is elevated, yet not too feminine. And the sea salt gives off some beachy vibes that give a little sense of vacation that I love! I know buying perfume online can be a little tricky, so if you’re concerned about investing before testing it out yourself, check out this Jo Malone London Discovery Set for $20 where you can try 5 of their great scents before you dive into a full bottle!

Steph’s Finds

Gibsonlook Lace Top [TTS, wearing in L] / Liverpool X Living in Yellow Gia Glider Crop [Size down, wearing in 8]

I’m so frustrated I’ve never given Gia Gliders a chance before now! I was intimidated by the pull on style, but these fit like a glove, and I love that they allow for a front tuck due to the button and pockets. I’ve been wearing them with everything I can get my hands on! What I can get my hands on happens to include this adorable lace top by another favorite brand – Gibsonlook! Professional for an office, flirty for dinner out after – I’m so glad this one made its way into my closet!

Denim Shorts

Liverpool Los Angeles x Living in Yellow Scoop Neck T-Shirt [TTS, wearing in L] / Liverpool Los Angeles x Living in Yellow High Waist Frayed Hem Stretch Denim Shorts [TTS, wearing in 10] / New Balance Sneakers [TTS]

These are truly the only shorts I own that check all the boxes! Feel secure but not tight, leg holes aren’t too big, but aren’t tight on my thighs, long enough to feel covered but not matronly.  Do yourself a favor and give these a try. I really hate wearing shorts as a general rule because I just never feel comfortable, I’m excited for this pair to make dressing this Summer so much easier!

Denim Jacket + White Jeans

Liverpool Los Angeles x Living in Yellow Trucker Denim Jacket [TTS, wearing in L] /  Liverpool Los Angeles x Living in Yellow Scoop Neck T-Shirt [TTS, wearing in L] / Liverpool Los Angeles x Living in Yellow Raw Hem Stretch Crop Straight Leg Jeans [TTS, wearing in 10] / Sam Edelman Hazel Pumps [TTS] 

Independently, I love each of these pieces for unique reasons:

  • Trucker Jacket: Such an elevated spin on a traditional denim jacket with the cuff detail and raw hem.
  • Tee: Perfectly flowy, not at all clingy
  • Crop Straight Jeans: Cellulite hiding, structured and comfortable
  • Heels: Literally my go-to for every work/dressy outfit

But together they just scream SPRING to me and I love this look so much!

Earrings

BP Paperclip Hoop Earrings / Open Edit Rectangular Hoop Earrings  

Two great earring choices, $15 and under! They’re both light weight and make a fun statement. I’m so glad I added these to my order!

Hannah’s Finds

Glow Pads

Dr. Dennis Alpha Beta Glow Pads

It’s that time of year…. Where my tan is nowhere to be found and we aren’t seeing the sun anytime soon in the good ‘ol Midwest 😉 While I love a good sunless tanner I’m really picky on what products I use to avoid breakouts and products that will do more than just make my face glow! These Glow Pads have been trending so I couldn’t wait to try! I love that they exfoliate your skin, tighten pores and help fade pre existing sunspots, all while giving you that sunkissed glow! They were really easy to use [just wipe in a circular motion – be careful around your nose and eyebrow area] and the tan was really even! While my first go at it didn’t go great, I got the hang of it fairly quickly! After one use I had a really nice glow and by the end of day 4 it had evenly faded away!

Cupping Set

Province Apothecary Sculpting & Toning Facial Cupping Set

I don’t know about you, but I get so intrigued by new skincare products, especially since I’ve gotten older! At first sight I had NO idea what this was, what it was for or how to use it [lol]. BUT, after reading up this helps smooth out wrinkles, increases blood flow, elasticity and sculpts and tones your face! After one try, I’m hooked!! It’s kind of like an intense facial massage but feels so good! It does take some getting used to, to figure out the pressure of the cup and how to use it but after a couple of uses I think I’ve gotten the hang of it! Just put your favorite face oil on [this is mine]  on and the packaging shows how to use and directions to go! And the reviews are insane!!

Shampoo & Conditioner Set

Malin + Goetz Shampoo & Conditioner Set

Since having Covid earlier this year, I’ve been doing a lot of research on products to use and things to do to avoid hair loss. While I know I probably won’t completely stop Covid hair loss I wanted to be a little proactive! After some research Peppermint and Cilantro were highly recommended for scalp health, product build up and helps stimulate hair follicles. Cilantro is actually full of vitamins and proteins that help promote hair growth and reduce hair shedding. So, when I saw this combo, I couldn’t hit #checkout fast enough! Not only does this duo smell AMAZING, my hair feels so good and healthy!

Lip Gloss

IT Cosmetics Pillow Lips Solid Serum Lip Gloss

Staying on that Beauty Trend 😉 If you asked my husband, the last thing I needed was more lip gloss but I don’t think you can ever have too much [lol] WHOA do I love this lip gloss! It looks and kind of feels like a lipstick but after it’s been on it’s not heavy, very light and feels like a lip gloss!! I love that this color isn’t too bright or bold and the perfect color for Spring! AND bonus…. It’s infused with collagen and hyaluronic acid making it good for your lips too!!

Claire’s Finds

Denim Shorts

Long Sleeve Tee [TTS, wearing Medium] // Short Sleeve Tee [TTS, wearing medium] // Denim Shorts [TTS, wearing 8] // Sandals [TTS]

Erin has been rocking these shorts on her recent trips to Anna Maria! I’ve been in the market for a new pair of classic denim shorts and was totally influenced by her. I love that they have a little bit of stretch and are not too tight in the thigh area at all! True to size, wearing my normal size 8. Both tee’s are cute finds for spring and available in several color combos!

White Jeans

Short Sleeve Tee [TTS, wearing medium] // White Denim [TTS, wearing 6] // Sandals [TTS]

White jeans are my jam in the spring & summer! This straight leg style is on trend for the season and I love that they’re not overly tight [like a lot of white denim can be!]. I find them to fit TTS and not sheer, although I always recommend pairing white denim with nude undergarments to be safe!

Sandals

Sandals [TTS, size up .5 if in between]

I’m LOVING the braided look for spring! We saw this trend a lot last year and it’s not going away anytime soon. I had an old pair of Dolce Vita sandals that held up great for YEARS [truly, I had them since high school!] and decided it was finally time for an upgrade. This style is available in 9 color options! For reference, I’m typically a size 8.5-9 and the 9 fits perfectly.

Maxi Dress

Maxi Dress [TTS, wearing medium] // Sandals [TTS] // Strapless Bra

I have a few upcoming vacays planned for this spring, so I’m on the lookout for great dresses to pack! How fun are these tie straps?! This one was gorgeous and the price was right! It is a gauze-y material, so I would be sure to pack a steamer if you plan to travel with it! For length reference, I am 5’5 and it hit right at my ankles. PS – there is plenty of room in the tummy area, so I think it would work for an early maternity look/the tie straps would be perfect for breastfeeding!

Cassidy’s Finds

Denim Shorts

Madewell Relaxed Mid-Length Denim Shorts // Madewell Bandana 

I am heading to Florida one week from today and I have been on the hunt for some new denim shorts! When I am looking for denim shorts, I always prefer a longer inseam and a relaxed fit. I hate tight shorts, yup, I said it. They are just NOT for me! I was so happy to find these shorts and actually feel comfortable! BUT be sure to size down at least one size! I paired them with this cute little bandana, perfect to wrap around a ponytail or add to a bag for some fun texture! Now to the beach! ☀️

Katy’s Finds

Graphic Tee

Johnny Cash Graphic Tee [true to size] // Weatherly Bootcut Jeans [true to size]

Now, do I think that this graphic tee is entirely too expensive? Yes. Does it have the perfect feel, shape, fit, and everything in between? Yes. Graphic tees get me every time and I am also a big Johnny Cash fan. I was hoping I wouldn’t love this one as much as I did, but from the moment I slipped it on I knew it was staying in my closet….I thought these jeans were a fun way to mix up my collection with a slight bootcut but not throwing it all the way back to my high school jeans haha! Hey, maybe I will keep branching out and try a bigger flare soon!

Throw Blanket

Bliss Plush Throw

HELLO, COZY!! This throw does NOT disappoint! It is sooo soft and I love the tassels on it as well! It’s a great blanket to have out as decor and ready to cuddle up with when you’re on the couch. It also holds up really well. I love all of the color options – I will definitely be getting more of these!

Lauren’s Finds

Bodysuit + Denim

Free People Bodysuit [true to size, wearing medium] // Kut From The Kloth Reese Raw Step Hem Ankle Straight Leg Jeans [size down one] // Tory Burch Miller Sandals [size up .5]

Bodysuits don’t have to be skin tight! I fell in love with this lightweight yellow bodysuit from Free People that has the cutest adjustable tight shoulder straps! Paired with these new distressed straight leg Kut From The Kloth jeans, and my go-to sandals, and I’m ready for sunshine and summertime! 

Denim Jacket

Liverpool x Living in Yellow Jennifer Raw Edge Cotton Denim Jacket [true to size, wearing medium] // Daily Ritual Women’s Lived-in T-Shirt Dress [true to size, wearing medium] // Tory Burch Miller Sandals [size up .5]

Introducing the denim jacket of 2022! From the raw edges to the pin striping, it’s the perfect layering piece from Spring till Fall! 

Tkees Sandals

Tkees Gemma Sandal [size up .5, shown in color Cocobutter]

I’ve wanted to try Tkees Gemma sandals for a few years because I’ve heard how comfortable they are, and I love how simple and stream lined they are [aka they don’t make the outfit, they are just a good neutral!]. But every year when I’ve waited until summer they’re sold out! Not this year! I’m buying ’em in February, ha! The price is great, and I see myself wearing these a ton this spring and summer!

Pull-On Skinny Jeans

Liverpool x Living in Yellow Gia Glider Pull-On Crop Skinny Jeans [size down 2, wearing in a 6] // The Drop Blazer [size down, wearing in small] // Old Navy Layering Tank [true to size, wearing medium] // Nine West Heeled Sandals [true to size] 

Pull on jeans for office days?! Yes please! Office days or not, pull-on jeans are here to stay and you can’t go wrong with these Gia Gliders! With pockets, a button, and faux zipper cover [things you don’t typically get with pull on jeans], you can do the community-fav front tuck with noone knowing otherwise!

LIY Ambassador Finds

Lisa’s Maxi Dress

Dress [true to size] // Jacket [sized up for an oversized look] // Necklace // Earrings

Here is my favorite go-to outfit: a dress and a denim jacket. My dress may look familiar as I was LIY influenced to snag this one too! I am wearing a size M – Petite and 5’3” for reference. I love the look of a maxi dress but sometimes can trip up in them because of my height; not this one. It’s perfect. It’s so soft and comfortable! (Also, the straps are not adjustable but fit perfectly!) I will be purchasing a 2nd in Olive. When I find something I love; I buy multiples in different patterns or colors! Anyone feeling me on this?

Allison’s Sunglasses

Sunglasses

I had been looking for a new pair of sunnies for a while, and when I tried on this Rag and Bone pair from Nordstrom, I knew I found the winner! The irregular shape gives these shades a unique look. The 100% UV Frame Protection System and non-slip nose pads = No more squinting for me! 😎

Heather’s Look

Sweater [size down if in between] // Faux Leather Leggings [size up if in between] // Sneakers [true to size]

These staples are my go to mom uniform – from the (WFH) office, school drop off/pick up, practices, etc! I snagged these Spanx leggings in tall during a Black Friday sale and they are on repeat. They fit me so much better than the regular length. I also have more of these Free People tunics than I care to admit, but the quality and versatility make these a staple in my closet. I’ve been pairing this outfit with sneakers or boots depending on the activity!

Heather’s Sunglasses

Sunglasses

The cold weather won’t stop me from getting my Vitamin D in. I love a solo, chilly, sunny walk with a good audio book! I gifted myself these new sunnies for my birthday and love them!

Aundrea’s Crossbody Purse

Marc Jacobs Crossbody [Ink Grey]

Some purchases are simply an investment. This crossbody was definitely one! I know you are probably thinking, “Girl, that is way too much for a bag. You have lost your mind!” Yes, the wallet felt the same way, but here are a few reasons I felt this bag was a need for ME! I am a faithful tote bag carrier. However, now that the world is opening back up I have been attending many different events where larger bags are not welcomed. With this extra small capacity bag I have been able to carry it into stadium and concert auditoriums with no problem! It has been great for airport traveling and so much more. The olive/forest green color sold me! I love that it isn’t just plain black or brown. The dark green still allows me to pair it with all colors and patterns!

Debbie’s Look

Leggings [true to size] // Sweatshirt [true to size] // Tennis Shoes [true to size]

Hi LIY! Debbie here with a supersoft sweatshirt from Express and Zella leggings from Nordstrom. I absolutely love these leggings! I wear them to do yoga, run errands or just lounge around the house.  They have a bit of compression which makes the fit very flattering and hides any imperfections. Got these in size small and they also run tts. For reference I’m 5’6″ and 130 lbs.
