I Found the Bougiest Deals Under $100 at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Oh, Nordstrom Moonlight pajamas, where do I begin? These are a massive PureWow editor AND reader favorite, and come in both short, cropped and pant lengths. The shorts set is under $100 during the Anniversary Sale—actually, it's under $50 (!). The ultra-soft, breezy PJs have smart notched lapels, contrasting piping and are made from eco-friendly Tencel modal that's both machine washable and dryer-friendly.

These pants are for two types of people. Those who want to try barrel-leg jeans without feeling like they're wearing a kegger on each leg, and those who like the jeans-as-legging phenomena. These Caslon jeans have an elastic/drawstring waist and four (large) pockets. The barrel cut is pronounced without being overwhelming, offering just enough volume and curve for the silhouette to be unmissable.

After reading through the features of Bombas socks, there's probalby nothing more you could want in life—built-in blister tabs, Hex Tec construction that keeps feet cool and dry, slightly cushioned footbed, seamless toe and just a smidge of arch support. My flat feet called; they said they need these, stat.

Are florals your favorite scent profile? Yes? Then Now's the time to try Gucci's Bloom perfume. The sensory experience harkens to the perfume's name, meant to be experienced as an unfolding or unfurling of petals and plants. You'll find notes of tuberose and jasmine, both of which provide a white floral scent. Rangoon Creeper adds a powdery edge to contrast with the lightness of the jasmine.

Any pants that have "soft luxe" in their name should be added to cart immediately. And that's what I'm suggesting you do with Zella's scuba-knit pants. They were made for maximum comfort, with an elastic/drawstring waist and straight cut. The pockets are generously sized, and the colors—Brown Ristretto, Navy Armada Heather and Ivory Heather Purple—feel sleek and elevated in a way that justifies having "luxe" in the name.

New Balance's 574 sneakers have a '70s flair that makes them instantly charming. They're a great everyday shoe, built for everything from running errands to walking on uneven nature trails. The insole features arch support and is removable, should you want to swap it in for your own custom orthotic. I like the neutral Sandstone Linen shade, but for a demure pop of color, you can opt for the Navy Light Arctic Grey.

While I've always loved Sam Edeman shoes (I wore a literal hole in my ballet flats), I've been sleeping on the fashion. This corduroy jacket completely changed my mind, though. I love neutrals, and a styling trick I've learned is that to keep it interesting, I should opt for some texture. That's where the corduroy comes in. While the cut is tailored, the fabric gives it just a touch of ruggedness to create an interesting juxtaposition for the eye. And, the huge pockets are a big draw, too.

When it comes to fashion, one of the things I challenge myself to do is look current without buying into every single trend. I love finding a piece of clothing that feels familiar but has a twist. Levi's, for instance: The 501s are a household name. The brand's Easy Dad Jeans still give that vintage feel without being on the nose. It sits between a straight- and wide-leg cut with a high-rise waist that I'm fond of.

I love a relaxed top in the summer, with just a bit of shape. Free People's ribbed Tilly top proves its versatility when it comes to styling. I love the half-unbuttoned look, but I'd also do up all the buttons and tuck this into a skirt or breezy trousers to change things up.

A little French makeup case was never a bad idea, especially if it's from Longchamp. The legacy brand makes this cosmetics bag in four shades of pebbled leather, including a lipstick red iteration. An inconspicuous logo is embossed onto the front of the bag, while the interior features a jacquard logo lining, and closes with a top zip.

For those ascribing to the concept of Christmas in July, BaubleBar's personalized charm bracelets are a great gift. Each paracord bracelet features a rhinestone-encrusted letter charm made from brass and crystals.

Attribute it to the popularity of dark academia or the explosive success of Amazon Prime Video's Off Campus, but collegiate wear continues to have its moment. Favorite Daughter makes this university-style sweatshirt with its logo in academic lettering, and a cropped cut that feels more fashion statement than sweatshirt-of-my-alma-mater-I-forgot-about.

Leave it to Free People to breathe new life into a classic henley. The generous stand collar and visible back seam give it a little twist; meanwhile, the soft cotton fabric gets a little stretch thanks to some elastane.

I've seen so many pairs of barrel jeans over the years that they're all starting to blend together...but then I saw these. The front slant pockets caught my attention for their unconventional shape. I also like that the barrel cut starts at the knees rather than the hip, making the silhouette feel more manageable and less like a balloon.

All the girls may be clamoring for Carolyn Bessette's oval sunglasses, but INDY's gives the rounded style a literal subtle edge. They keep the oblong shape but with some soft angles. The frames are crafted from plant-based acetate and are paired with polarized, scratch-resistant lenses. They're also compatible with eyeglass prescriptions, so glasses-wearers aren't left out of the fun.

Level up your skincare game with PURSONIC's facial steamer. Per the brand, the device can help dissolve dirt, oil, makeup and dead skin cells, while helping to boost product absorption. It powers up to full steam in 40 seconds, and is also travel friendly—talk about a lifesaver from the dry airplane air.

Contrary to what you may believe, not all bubble hems come in jellyfish proportions. Caslon's cotton twill jacket is great if you want to ease yourself into the style, offering a barely-there bubble hem that still adds fun texture thanks to its pleats. The 100 percent cotton design features large front-snap pockets and a stand collar that can block the wind on chilly days.

This past year has seen an unexpected piece of clothing claim the spotlight: the partial-zip sweatshirt. Once reserved for consultants and finance guys, the design has gone mainstream, and the girls are getting on board. Varley's design features cozy raglan sleeves, ribbed cuffs and hems and a stand collar that can be zipped all the way up. It's available in three colors: Sycamore green, Dark Walnut and Huckleberry.

I hate wearing snow boots, but my one gripe with regular boots is that sometimes the insulation is just not that great. I think H&M has solved that problem with their fuzzy, lined Chelsea boots, with a fabric so fluffy you may not even want to wear socks. (Just me?!) The chunky soles also add a little height boost and will make a fashionable addition to your cold-weather wardrobe.

Just because they're sweatpants doesn't mean they have to look like them. The easy drape of these Halogen drawstring pants almost fool you into thinking they're real pants for the office—and then you're surprised by the roomy waist and fluid fabric. And, yes, there are four functional pockets. Style these with a T-shirt and a pair of flats and watch yourself float effortlessly from running errands to work meetings and maybe even brunch.

I love a house slipper, but these shearling slides from UGG make me want to wear them outside, too. As I try not to melt in the sweltering summer temps, I'm now romanticizing runs to the grocery store on a crisp fall morning, shuffling down the sidewalk in a pair of these plush little numbers. There are four colors, including Oyster (light brown), Caribou and Nat (cream), but the most fun is by far Bright Fuchsia.

The day I added a black belt to my closet really did change my life. It's that last little wardrobe accessory that really puts an outfit over the top, but in a subtle way. I love Favorite Daughter's suede belt design with its rectangularly oblong buckle, which gives a little flair to a basic leather belt.

Consider your search for a fall wedding guest dress over. Melloday's drapey, bias-cut satin midi is a perfect for autumn's darker color palette. A muted floral pattern dances across the fabric, and a generously-cut cowl neck flows into a slightly flared A-line skirt. And because the fabric moves with you, it'll be easy to tear up the dance floor.

Another collegiate style staple is inarguably the rugby shirt. The classic stripes and smart collar harken back to days spent playing college sports (or cheering from the sidelines). The fabric is a blend of recycled and organic cotton, and is machine washable and dryer-safe. I'd style this oversized fit with a half-tuck into a pair of jeans. There are three colors available, though my favorite is definitely the Fuschia Rose stripes.

I bet I'm not the only one all too familiar with this sinking, frustrating feeling: You spend a ton of time doing your makeup, only to have it crease or fade within hours of application—and you've still got a full day or night ahead of you. Charlotte Tilbury's setting spray aims to fix that, promising to function as a primer while also setting your makeup for up to 16 hours. It also claims to be both waterproof and hydrating, which is a huge plus for me since makeup always makes my skin dry. And, it addresses my number one pain point: creasing and fading.

I don't know about you, but I couldn't care less about tennis whites. Give me all the colors. This Spanx Airpique skort comes in a vibrant ocean blue (and black), made from stretchy, eco-friendly Tencel. The fabric also offers UPF 50+ protection, and the shorts have a built-in pocket for your phone. Whether you're on the court, going for a run or hitting the grocery store, this skort will make sure you do it stylishly.

I love styling a little outfit even if I'm just exercising or lounging around; I'd pair the blue Spanx Airpique skort with a coordinating pick from Zella's lineup of Performance T-shirts. The moisture-wicking fabric ensures breathability and dryness; the long sleeves help block the sun's rays. I would tuck the shirt into the skort, but the loose cut and also be worn over a pair of shorts.

This dress lives up to its French name in a 100 percent cotton floral print. As someone who used to live in Paris and whose chief style icons are French, I can say with confidence that this would be French-girl approved. The tailoring, nipped waist and flirty mini length all make for a striking—but understated—statement. (And yes, there are pockets.)

We might not be able to live in a five-star hotel, but the bath towels we choose can make home feel like a vacation. Enter Nordstrom's 100 percent organic hydrocotton towel set. They're plush, thick, fluffy and incredibly absorbent. Each set comes with two bath towels, hand towels and washcloths. Pretty sure the Ritz would spring on these if it knew about it.

I don't need another suitcase of any size, but when Béis billed its Ultimate Travel Duffle as "A sleek personal item with the packing power of a checked bag," I was sold. I'm the person who packs for a three-week European jaunt with just a carry-on, so I appreciate the value of a bag that pulls more than its weight. The bag has a clamshell zipper and opens to lay flat, revealing two zippered, compressible compartments. There's also a padded laptop sleeve, trolley sleeve, interior mesh compartment and multiple zip pockets. And, somehow, it miraculously will slide under your seat.
