In my humble opinion, there are two great things about August: shopping and “August” by Taylor Swift (read: salt air and the rust on your door…). The bad thing, though? Summer’s slowly coming to a close. But I’m not mad about it since the Nordstrom new arrivals section is so, so good right now. With some light snooping (I literally shop for a living, it’s my job to dig), I can confidently say that the section is stacked right now.Thanks to the sheer number of products the retailer sells (I have approximately 82 products in my cart right now), it’s overwhelming to figure out what to buy and what to pass on at Nordstrom — especially now that fall fashion season is coming up fast and new styles are dropping left and right. As August is indisputably the most exciting time of year to shop, I’m not going to gatekeep and lend you a helping hand.From a fresh pair of Nike kicks to a classic white tee and the most luscious Kate Spade bag, scroll below to shop my 10 editor-approved August Nordstrom new arrivals before summer’s over.NordstromThis pretty pair of earrings looks so much more expensive than it is — and it’s the easiest way to lean into the bow trend without going full Angelina Ballerina. Honestly, I might just stick them in my second piercing on each ear and never take them off. They look just as good with shorts and a tank as they do with jeans and a sweater. $15 at NordstromNordstromA new month is the perfect time to invest in nice socks that won’t rip after two washes, right? This 3-pack from Zella (I love the purple hues!) comes with supportive ribbing around the arches for extra comfort. I already know Zella makes the best leggings, so I definitely trust its sock game. “I love these socks and am going to stock up! They are the perfect thickness and don’t slip off my ankle after running or a long day of walking,” said a five-star reviewer. $19 at NordstromNordstromI’m a major fan of everything Verb (especially this volumizing texture spray), so I’m really excited about this new scalp exfoliator. Unlike most scalp scrubs, this formula isn’t a physical scrub at all. Instead, it uses chemical exfoliants (AHAs and BHAs) to gently remove buildup and dead skin cells. Meanwhile, the moringa oil and biotin smooth, defrizz and improve the elasticity of the hair. “So refreshing,” wrote a shopper. “I love how easy it is to apply and the cooling effect it has. It left my roots feeling lighter and cleared up all my dry/flakey spots.” $20 at NordstromNordstromI can never have too many white tees in my closet — can you? No. The flattering cut of this shirt is the perfect combination of casual, cool and perfect for tucking into jeans. It comes in other neutral colors, too, like black and gray. “This is the best fitting, most flattering T-shirt I own,” gushed a fan. “Beautiful fabric and it washes well.” This shopper agreed “I’m always trying to find the perfect T-shirt and this might be it!” $35 at NordstromNordstromLook, I am the favorite daughter in my family and I want the world to know it. It doesn’t matter that I’m the only daughter. This cheeky sweatshirt comes in a variety of color schemes, but the collegiate look of this gray and blue is perfect for back-to-school vibes (even if I graduated college many moons ago). “Beautiful and great quality. It was perfect for our daughter’s birthday because we refer to her as our favorite daughter — she is our only daughter!” joked a shopper. $88 at NordstromNordstromYears later, I’m still obsessed with the raw hem jeans trend. This pair is inspired by 90s dad jeans (hence the name), giving it a slight wide-leg silhouette. And the stretchy material will keep things comfy even as they’re broken in. They look great with heeled sandals or wedges while the weather is still warm. Come fall, pair them with a sweater and boots. $88 at NordstromNordstromEven though fall fashion is all around us, I refuse to give up my white dresses just yet. This flowy frock is crafted from a linen mixture for those extra-hot late summer days. The simple silhouette is flattering on all body types and the adjustable straps and smocked background keep things comfy. The simple reason I love it though? It’s a feminine staple that I know I’m going to reach for over and over again. Once cooler weather arrives, I can easily add a cardigan to stay warm. $90 at NordstromNordstromEver since its debut in 1979, the Nike Killshot has been a fan-favorite on and off the court. The combo of the gummy sole and olive green swoosh is so fun for transitional weather. And if your school years were anything like mine, this time of year always meant a new pair of sneakers. “Loving the retro look,” wrote a shopper. “These are very comfortable and require no breaking in. They run true to size and go with everything. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on them.” $90 at NordstromNordstromOne of 2024’s biggest trends has been the return of Mary Jane flats. The timelessly chic shoe goes with everything and this podiatrist-approved pair from Vionic brings both the style and comfort. They have a cushioned insole, arch support and a deep heel for stability and all-day comfort. “I needed to replace my old ballet flats with something that had good arch support. These are super cute and I can walk the distance in an airport without my feet and legs getting sore,” said a fan. $130 at NordstromNordstromI love a good Kate Spade bag (who doesn’t?) and this burgundy beauty is my new obsession. Seriously, I can’t stop thinking about it. The medium-sized leather tote features top carry handles and a removable crossbody strap, but it’s the burgundy shade that has me dreaming about it day and night. “This bag is so beautiful. It is small but holds a lot — a large wallet, iPhone, keys, eyeglasses, with some room to spare!” exclaimed a five-star reviewer. “The leather is super soft and the knot gives the bag a feminine touch.” $348 at NordstromThe reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
