The Top 10 of 2025

What sold. What stayed. What women actually kept wearing.

These weren’t one-and-done trends. They’re the pieces that earned repeat wear - handbags that quietly elevated outfits, jeans that fit real bodies, the lounge set everyone asked about, and a few standouts that surprised me.

If you missed them the first time, here they are.

Hi! Just wanted to give you a little introduction to who I am and what I do! I’ve been a professional personal stylist for the last 13 years, 10 of which I worked for Nordstrom. I’ve dressed hundreds or maybe even thousands of women over the years! I edit closets and I help people pack! I also love sharing the fantastic things I find in fashion beauty, and a little bit of home! Thank you so much for being here and let me know how I can help!

I’ve been trying out a new clean beauty cleanser from Good Jane’s (Face the Morning) and it’s wonderful. It’s formulated with vegan stem cells to support overall skin health and aloe vera to help calm and soothe skin. It leaves my skin, feeling refreshed and hydrated, ready to take on the day.

Oh! The collagen sleep butter is sold out on the GoodJanes website, but you can find it at your local Sprouts grocery store!

This girl got new sneakers-exactly what I wanted and they’re on sale, BIGTIME. I’m typically between a 6 1/2 and a 7 inch shoes and I definitely needed the seven in this sneaker. No you do not have to run in them they’re fantastic for walking and every day wear as well.

The stock on these pieces is coming & going. You know how the sale works, right?! I’m posting them anyway in case you bought any of them and you want some styling ideas or in case they come back in in your size.

Here’s what I’d skip. Here’s what you need to consider! Honest.

I made a Substack post with styling suggestions in case loafers baffle you or you just want some fresh ways to wear them! There are so many fantastic loafers in the sale I had to give it its own category! https://instylewithstacey.substack.com/p/my-favorite-sale-loafers-and-how

I tried on every pair of NSale denim my Nordstrom had in stock 👖✨
12 pairs made the cut… and 1 went straight back (you’ll know it when you see it)
No ranking here — every pair in this video earned its spot. Grab your favorite before your size is gone!

📌 Save this — the NSale restocks often, so check back if your size sells out

My wishlist was personal.

These are the pieces I’d recommend to almost anyone.

I tried to narrow it down to 10…
I failed. 😅

So here are my 11 favorite picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—pieces I’d buy again, recommend to clients, or think are some of the best values in the sale.

From denim and jackets to shoes, luggage, and the Barefoot Dreams blanket, these are the items I’d shop before they’re gone.

“The jean that fits everyone.”

Most women think finding the perfect pair of jeans is impossible until they try this one.

The Paige Anessa is one of those rare jeans that look great on so many different women.

This Reel proves it.
Different women. Different styles. Different ages. Different body shapes. Different sizes.

Somehow, they all look amazing in the same style of jeans.

This is not the jeans you try (and return). They’re the jeans you keep. AND several styles are on sale. Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts July 14th!

I know. Red blush sounds like a lot.

But on the skin? It can be fresh, elegant, and surprisingly wearable — especially when it’s blended high on the cheek and kept soft everywhere else.

Trying MERIT Rouge today on cheeks and lips. One product, very little effort, very pretty payoff.

Save this before you write off red blush completely.

The hair products that have to travel with me!

Bend it-however you like. Smash it. It’s perfectly packable. Of course I love the western vibe. Makes everything a little more stylish.

Not too big, not too small and I love the hardware, makes it “cool”, less dainty.

The dress my clients (and I!) are loving, especially for vacation!
The back has smocking and adjustable straps for a comfortable and secure fit. I’m wearing a small, true to size.

A subtle Fourth of July outfit or just everyday cute.

52, in menopause, and these lashes held through a hot flash. ☀️ Nobody tells you that dry, watery eyes and thinning lashes come with the territory — so your mascara has to work harder. This new clean formula from Merit resists sweat and humidity, won’t flake into fine lines, holds my curl 16 hours, and comes off with warm water (no tugging). Save this for your next Sephora run 🤍 Anyone else’s eyes get weepy out of nowhere? Ugh. The worst!

Can we talk about midi skirts for a second? Because I know so many of you avoid them thinking they’ll make you look heavier — and I want to gently tell you that’s almost never true. It’s the styling.

The move is: define your waist (tucked top, open jacket, or a belt — pick one), then let the skirt flow. That’s it. That’s the whole secret. Both of these skirts are fitted right at the waist and have that soft movement below, which is exactly the silhouette that reads “effortlessly put together” instead of “drowning in fabric.”

And can we appreciate that midi skirts are basically a superpower in summer — cool, breathable, and they hide whatever you don’t feel like shaving, tanning, or dealing with today. We’ve all been there.

Straw bags for summer that go with all your outfits…

The wooden details! 😍

Comes in 3 colors! I’m wearing a small which is just slightly slightly snug (I’m more 6 than 4 these days a medium would work too) but if you’re not busty go true to size.

5 pro stylists chose 6 Nordstrom pieces that will enhance your summer wardrobe right now!
This is the Nordstrom6 June Drop!
If you’re especially busty size up in the dress and in the top. The jeans are stretchy so if between sizes go with the lower size. The skirt is true to size!

If your only memory of lip liner is over sharpening one in 1998, watch this.

OK, these are just lovely. Merit’s new Signature Lip Liners are the rare kind that feel modern – soft, hydrating, nothing sharp or chalky. The round tip makes a harsh line pretty much impossible, so it’s that quiet little bit of structure that makes your whole face look more put together without any effort. I’m especially into them on the days I want a polished lip but can’t commit to full lipstick.
Be honest-are you a lip liner person again or did we lose you back in 1998? I

6 pieces chosen by 5 pro stylists-it’s the May Nordstrom 6 Drop! These pieces work well together and play nicely with the rest of your wardrobe! Here are six pieces that will jazz up your spring & summer outfits!

The button up is true to size and I’m wearing a small. The sweater is a small, true to size. The jeans-if between sizes-size down. I sized up in the linen pants for a more relaxed feel.
