Right now my shopping list has officially turned to focus on all things fall. More specifically, the fall staples that will become the backbone of my wardrobe these next few months. While my summer style was all about items like denim shorts, tanks, and sandals, then my fall shopping list hinges on their cooler-weather equivalents of jeans, jackets, and boots. Yep, I've already begun scouring the internet for the coolest versions of each and per usual, Nordstrom is coming in hot with some of my favorite versions.
Right now the retailer's new arrivals section is filled with cool fall staples, so I spent a few hours going through the the site to find the best versions of each. From the Tôteme jacket that's already an It piece on Instagram to the new Levi's jean shape that's sure to be popular, continue on to shop the best boots, jackets, and jeans at Nordstrom.
Boots
I bumped riding boots to the top of my shopping list after seeing this perfect pair.
Black ankle boots that actually feel fresh, folks.
Wait, these look quite expensive.
Anything in this shade of green is a yes from me.
The Row's cult-popular ankle boots are back in a yummy suede just in time for fall.

Jackets
Totême's fashion girl-approved jacket now comes in beige, and I predict the built-in-scarf silhouette won't be in stock for very long.
I won't stop putting this jacket in stories. It's just too perfect for the price.
I have this blazer and can confirm it's everything.
From the caramel color to the suede fabric, this just screams fall.
Double denim has never looked fresher.
Ganni does it again.

Jeans
New Levi's jean style alert!
Yep, cargo jeans are officially a thing. This sleeker version is surprisingly wearable.
Reformation nailed the right amount of relaxed.
Save yourself from the never-ending search for vintage jeans.
