As a professional online shopper (yes, I love my job), I can definitively say that I am great at shopping. I can sniff out a good deal from miles away and tend to have roughly 728 products in my cart at any given time. So, let me help you build your online shopping cart. Whether you’re shopping for major sale events like Prime Day or just upgrading your wardrobe, I’ll always give you the must-have picks.
When it comes to online retailers, Nordstrom really is the best of the best. From popular beauty products on sale to home goods and trending brands, I always find myself with a huge Nordstrom haul every month.
Thanks to the sheer number of products the retailer sells, it’s overwhelming to figure out what to buy and what to pass on at Nordstrom — especially now that fall fashion season is coming up fast. Since fall is indisputably the most exciting time of year to shop, you can bet that my wishlist is longer than a CVS receipt. If you’re unsure how to spend your paycheck this month, feel totally free to copy my Nordstrom shopping cart!
