I Spent Hours Perusing the Secret Sections of Nordstrom—These Finds Are Fabulous

For those in the know, the dropdown menus of the Nordstrom website are a treasure trove of great shopping finds. It's been a minute since I've had time to really dive deep, so today, I'm settling in with a coffee and my laptop (not just my phone—this is serious) to go down the rabbit hole and discover the best of what these hidden gems have to offer.
My main takeaways: I'm very tempted by the coziness of either a faux-fur or faux-shearling-lined coat and now convinced that a statement scarf is a fall essential—also, Nordstrom is quietly making a slew of great knitwear under its own label (including some extremely reasonably priced cashmere). From a dozen incredible knits to on-trend tights and rain-proof boots, here's the best of what I found tucked away that I'd hate for you to miss.
Show me a better bag that's under $100.
A crew-neck cashmere sweater so good Nordstrom makes it in 17 colorways.
Lean into the après-ski energy of Khaite's buzzy new-season sweaters.
This oversize houndstooth manages to be neutral and punchy at the same time.
Had to refresh my screen to confirm this lush faux-fur coat is truly under $200.
Bless the person who started designing gloves that let you use your phone without taking them off.
More brown worth investing in.
Once you own a creamy boot, you'll wonder how you ever did without.
I've been hunting for a giant blanket scarf—did not expect to find a cashmere blend at this price.
