I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: My aunt is one of my biggest style inspirations. In my 28 years as her niece, I’ve never once seen her looking anything short of ultra-chic and pulled-together, so it should come as no surprise when I tell you that it’s basically her job to help people find their personal style. Practically everyone in our family goes to her for style advice (myself included), and since we both work in fashion now, I’m constantly texting her about everything from the coolest trends to know to what I’m considering buying.
Of course, she’s just as much of an avid shopper as I am, so when I’m not going to her for style inspiration, I’m picking her brain on what cool finds she’s currently eyeing. Surprise, surprise—we’re both huge Nordstrom shoppers (our whole family is, really), so I already knew that my aunt’s spring shopping list was Nordstrom-heavy when I recently texted her to ask about what she’s loving for the season. We chatted about the spring runway trends we both agree on, and while we were doing so, the conversation turned into one big obsession over new spring shoes. If you glanced at our text messages, you’d just see a series of links to the best Nordstrom shoes for the season.
Instead of keeping them to myself, I’m dishing on all the prettiest Nordstrom shoes that my aunt and I are both losing our minds over right now. Ahead are 29 perfect pairs.
Talk about a showstopper. We’re both losing our minds over these celeb-adored It shoes.
Nordstrom is overflowing with pieces from Tory Burch’s new era, and these beautiful sandals might be my favorite pick of the moment.
I also sent this similar pair to my aunt because I know she appreciates when her staples have a little something extra to them.
The hype over these sneakers has hardly subsided since they were first released almost two years ago, and we can see why.
We both can’t help ourselves when we come across a cool affordable find, and these look anything but.
My aunt is just as excited about the return of wedge sandals as I am, so I knew she’d be into this modern take.
She’s not much of a ballet-flats person like I am, but we both agreed this pretty pair is something special.
Chic, easy to wear, and $50. What’s not to love?
If we’re talking dream shoes, both of us are after Khaite’s Western ankle boots.
When we chatted about spring trends last month, my aunt was all about the avocado-green trend, and these strappy sandals just might be the easiest way to wear it.
Yep, you’ll wear them with everything.
I mean…
The details on these, like the toe shape and wearable heel height, make them stand out to us.
Calling it now: These will be sold out before summer even arrives.
How pretty is this shade of blue?
It takes a lot for a pair of flats to excite my aunt, but I have a feeling these are strong contenders.
I’m getting major Saint Laurent vibes.
Lug-sole loafers are the one flats style my aunt approves of, so let’s hear it for this $100 find.
I sent these to my aunt as part of my Nordstrom wish list. I think they’re so versatile and timeless.
Meanwhile, she replied that the gold pair is more her speed, and I couldn’t agree more. For all the weddings and summer events she has coming up, these will be ideal.
Tomato red is the color of the season, and these are such an easy way to add a pop of the hue.
The shape of this heel is just something else.
Like I mentioned, my aunt is allergic to basics that are too plain, which is why I know she’d be into these Tory Burch classics.
Not your normal pumps. They’re cool pumps.
Compliments incoming!
Sam Edelman is the Nordstrom brand we both turn to for trendier buys because they just get it.
