My aunt has always been one of my biggest style inspirations. She's always worked in fashion and has such a knack for styling that everyone in our family turns to her for advice on what to buy and how to wear it. So yes, the "cool aunt" stereotype definitely applies here, and now, she's heading up a beloved local boutique called Knuth's, where everyone else can benefit from her impeccable taste.
There's really no question that she was one of the first people to pique my interest in pursuing a fashion career, and now that we both work in this industry, I'm constantly texting her about everything from the shoes I'm buying and the coolest trends to know to the brands we're both into. What can I say? Shopping is my love language, and right now, these 29 Nordstrom finds are speaking it fluently. I love these pieces and guarantee they'll be up to my aunt's high standard, too, so instead of keeping them to myself, I'm dishing on all the coolest finds that I ran to text her about.
