Memorial Day Weekend has come and gone, so we can officially say hello to summer. I couldn't be happier to usher in a season of rooftop soirees, al fresco dining, and pool hangouts. And as a shopping editor, I'm even more excited to weave the latest summer trends and beauty must-haves into my routine. Thankfully, all of my new-season finds can be found under one roof (or should I say site?)—at Nordstrom.
Style-wise, I'm happily saying goodbye to transitional spring staples like spring jackets and welcoming in a bevy of airy summer styles. Over the next few months, I'll happily be wearing pretty summer dresses, breezy linen pants, and strappy sandals. My beauty cabinet is also getting revamped courtesy of several new sunscreens, a few much-needed self-tanners, and some new light perfumes perfect for the warm weather.
Below, find everything on my summer wishlist, including the beachy Tom Ford perfume I want to wear all season long, the new Adidas sneakers celebrities are currently obsessing over, and so much more.
