My Partner Has Impeccable Taste—19 Nordstrom Sale Picks I Told Them to Buy

One of the best parts of being in a lesbian relationship—in addition to the emotional intelligence, open communication, and desire for commitment—is being able to share a closet.
My partner (hi honey, love you!) is one of the most naturally stylish people I know—and I'm a fashion editor in New York City, so I know a lot of chic people. They constantly inspire me to test the bounds of my own personal style, and now that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing, I can't help but note the items I think they would love (and I would love to steal).
Throughout the last few weeks of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Reporting™, I've put together a little wishlist of sorts, outlining the coolest pieces currently on sale (because, like me, my partner's a bona fide bargain shopper). From studded jeans and animal print dresses, to chunky bangles and designer shades, these are the elevated picks I'd recommend to my partner, my friends, and any other trendy person looking to build out their wardrobe.

I already have a pair of black-wash studded jeans in my closet that my partner has been jealous of for months. Lucky for them, this lookalike pair is currently $90 off.

I've officially cut myself off from buying new handbags—my partner, however, could definitely use a few more (wink wink). And should this calf hair beauty go missing, I may or may not be responsible.

I'd recommend a frilly white blouse to anyone I know. It's the new-age version of the stuffy button-down shirt—just as useful, but with an undeniable air of whimsy.

It's the season of the balloon pant and while I already have a plain black pair on heavy rotation, I wouldn't say no if another magically appeared on my doorstep.

Thong sandals are the summer 2026 It Shoe. But while everyone else is wearing identical black pairs, we'll be thriving in these sexy red babies.

You heard it here first: The 2016 wrist party is back. This time around, we're doing chunky bangles in glistening chrome.

Ever since a media industry friend pulled the trigger on these knit mules, I've been eyeing a pair for my own household. Coincidentally, they were recently marked down a whopping $56. You simply can't say no to that kind of timing.

We're Quay loyalists in my household, and these bitchy aviators might just be the next addition to our collection. The dark, resin frame and contrasting lenses make for an infinitely cool combination.

Another thing we share? Skincare. This majorly-on-sale Augustinus Bader gift set has nearly 900 five-star reviews and counting and is currently marked down $175.

With a dress like this, we'd pretty much be required to book a tropical vacation—because this maxi was made for the beach. How does Costa Rica sound?

I've been on the long necklace beat for a minute now. They have yet to join me. I think this BaubleBar pendant could be just the thing to bring them over to my team.

This zebra print maxi dress is a required investment for anyone with an affinity for the edgy and alternative—like me, for example.

My partner is a cream blush devotee and try as I might, I simply cannot convince them otherwise. The thoughtful person that I am, I'll be sending this two-piece gift set straight to their inbox.

Anyone who spends more than five minutes in our apartment will almost certainly be treated to a TED talk about the incomparable style-ability of Jenny Bird jewelry. Her dual-tone pieces, particularly, are a mutual favorite.

Though we're both recovering goths at our core, espresso brown has been the of-the-moment hue in our collective closet for months now. This polka-dot blouse would be a seamless addition—and for $15 off.

We're a bralette household through and through, and True & Co makes some of my all-time favorite styles. Their designs are totally unlined and silky smooth, but with a surprising amount of life.

As the self-christened Queen of Sunscreen, I always keep a tube of Supergoop!'s Unseen Sunscreen on me. It's a desert island product in our house.
