One of my dear friends told me recently that she received a $100 gift card to Nordstrom. Given my role as a fashion editor and the fact that Nordstrom is one of my absolute favorite stores, she'll often ask me for shopping advice. So this time around, she wondered if I'd seen either one great piece or a few chic items that ring in under $100 for her to purchase with her gift card.
I ended up sending over five Nordstrom items I think she'd like. Each of the finds in question is under $100 but honestly looks three times the price because of expensive-looking design details and forward silhouettes. In addition to the five pieces I sent her (the first few on the list below), I rounded up a range of other affordable items to inspire your summer shopping needs.
