I've been studying and working in fashion since I was 18 years old. As soon as I could get involved with the industry, I was working different retail jobs through college, doing internships and fellowships in media, volunteering at runway shows, assisting stylists on set at photo shoots, and freelance writing. My current role as the assistant shopping editor at Who What Wear is, by far, my favorite role, but before working my dream job, I was a fashion stylist for Nordstrom.

Working for Nordstrom opened my eyes to so many brands that have become personal favorites of mine. While I don't work for the retailer anymore, it is still high on my list when it comes to where I go to get my shopping fix. During my latest deep dive through the Nordstrom website, I found so many good things that I needed in my closet immediately—great dresses that I can style multiple ways, basics that I'll live in, and, of course, lots of pretty shoes.

I rounded up 30 great items on my wish list, so keep scrolling to see which ones made the cut.

I wore this shirt dress as a top with white pants, but style it as a dress or pair with denim shorts. 

A baby tee you could live in. 

A black midi dress with a high slit is a go-to look for me. 

A good string bikini is a must for me. 

I'm a huge Ulla Johnson fan, this dress has totally stolen my heart. 

The viral skims dress, we all need one. 

I'd wear this dress for a day out and about in New York. 

This set is great for a party in the summer time. 

The comfiest under $70 mules. 

I just got these pants and I have a feeling they'll be my new summer uniform. 

When it comes to swimwear, Melissa Odabash is one of my go-to brands. 

These sandals are perfect for a summer night out. 

I just got this suit and I cant wait to wear it. 

A strappy sandal that wont hurt as you wear them all day or night.
