Our shopping editor scoured Nordstrom's site to find the latest products from Ugg, Kate Spade, Spanx, Hoka and more — prices start at just $20.

Welcome to transitional weather heaven. Won't you come join me? (Nordstrom)

Like any shopping expert (by trade and hobby), all I can think about right now are fall trends. And if you've already started your yearly Gilmore Girls rewatch (same), you should be too. Here's a little secret I've learned: the best place to shop for fall goodies is Nordstrom — particularly the new arrivals section. From fall fashion, fall shoes, fall fragrances, fall home decor and everything in between, it's clear that the retailer is just as much of a fall enthusiast as we are.

Because I love pushing my Nordstrom shopping cart onto anybody and everybody who will listen, I'm going to give you a rundown of my top picks. After all, I did scour through 18,000+ items to find the best ones — they include these mega-viral Vince Camuto boots, a cozy Ugg cardigan, Charlotte Tilbury under-eye patches and the Le Creuset mug to end all Le Creuset mugs. Even better, prices start at just $20 thanks to these must-have super soft undies. Ready to shop? Scroll below to learn more about my top 25 editor-approved Nordstrom new arrivals in September.

If you're on the hunt for a cozy pair of lounge pants you can wear to sleep and out and about (with the right accessories, of course), I think I found the perfect pair for you. This Open Edit option features a finely ribbed fabric and an oh-so-flowy wide-leg silhouette.

And, no, I won't judge you for wearing them straight Friday night through Monday morning — because I'll be doing the same thing.

I love Reformation and I love Kacey Musgraves, so when I found out that the two were releasing a limited-edition collab, my heart may have skipped a beat (or two). While I adore pretty much everything from the line (like this feminine skirt set), this denim shirt is a closet staple worthy of investment.

Made of 100% cotton, the top features front snap closures, long sleeves, chest pockets and a point collar. Because light-wash denim is so neutral, it goes with just about everything.

A few weeks ago, I tragically lost my big dumb cup at the airport and need a replacement. After all, what are we without our big dumb cups? I've always been a fan of Hydro Flask bottles and this stainless steel design with purple detailing is just so much fun.

Specs-wise, it can hold 40 ounces of liquid, is BPA-free, dishwasher-safe and features a TempShield double-wall vacuum insulation to keep things cool or hot for hours.

Okay, there's nothing better than cuddling up in a super soft cardigan and pretending it's your own personal cocoon — especially when you throw in a mug of tea and a good book. When it comes to said super soft cardigans, nothing is tickling my fancy more than this classic style from Ugg. And Ugg is famously known for its soft products.

"A great addition to my cardigan habit," wrote a fan. "... It is perfect for work as a nice layer without being too heavy."

No, this small hot pink bag isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think of "tote" — right? Well, not all totes have to be a simple black bag large enough to fit a computer! And this super fun Kate Spade tote knows how to party.

At just over 10 inches wide, there's no way I can use this baby bag for work, but it still has all of the classic tote hallmarks: top carry handles and interior zip and wall pockets. It even has an adjustable crossbody strap for those days when I don't want to carry it by the top handles.

Yes, cooling temps mean sweaters and lounge pants galore, but they also mean new, cozy shoes. This pair of Rothy's clogs is such a good blend of indoor and outdoor footwear. It features durable outsoles and a contoured footbed for long strolls and a warm merino wool upper for a slipper-like feel. Oh, and the knit is made from recycled plastic bottles. How cool is that?

"Adorable!" exclaimed a five-star reviewer. "I am so happy I purchased these clogs. They are so cute on the foot and very comfortable."

I am officially in the "wedding every weekend" stage of my life and I need a dress that works with both formal and black tie dress codes. This one fits the bill. 

The dark, bold blooms on this whimsical number work for fall, winter, spring and summer, plus the sweet shoulder ruffle adds a bit of spice. It's also just frilly and fun! Now, imagine what it'll look like twirling on the dance floor to some ABBA. 

$99 at Nordstrom

If I could, I would wear mock neck sweaters for the rest of my life. Because I collect them like Pokémon, I need to add this one to my closet (yes, need and not want). It's only $40 and looks so much more expensive than it is. 

The pink can be worn as a neutral. There are so many ways to style it — with jeans, a skirt, over a dress or with polished trousers to bring a little life to a workwear look. If you're not as down with the pink as I am, the sweater also comes in gray, camel, blue and green.

Great news: dress season is a forever thing. This relaxed, long sleeve dress is super seasonal and is a powerful weapon in every fashion arsenal. It's flattering, chic, timeless and appropriate for a zillion and one occasions depending on how you accessorize. Thanksgiving, anyone? 

I'm already planning on wearing it with knee-high boots. And since it's technically a shirtdress with a curve-hugging belt, it's going to feel so, so comfortable — even on those days when I'm feeling very bleh. 

$89 at Nordstrom

Honestly, what's a shopping spree without stocking up on a new white tee? This crewneck style is made from a soft, lightweight pima-cotton, meaning it'll be comfy straight from the get-go. Whether I'm pairing it with jeans, a fun skirt or bold pants, it will be worn. 

(For what it's worth, this light seafoam green shade is on sale for $25 — but there are only a few sizes left!)

$35 at Nordstrom

Yes, Spanx does make more than just shapewear — the brand's lineup also includes supremely comfortable clothes. While a black pair of trousers is a closet essential, this pull-on style features an elastic waist and a satin lining for stretchy softness. The best part? No one will ever know that they actually feel like jammies.

I think we can all agree that fall scented candles make the world go 'round, right? Well, Nest took it upon themselves to mix together two of fall's greatest scents (and general vibes): chai and pumpkin. Obviously, I want my apartment to smell like this all the time. Plus, the Nest votives double as home decor. 

It comes in three sizes — a 2-ounce one for $22, 8.1 ounces for $50 and 21.2 ounces for $87. Yes, the big ones are pricey, but if you've never burned a Nest candle, know that they burn forever and are totally worth the investment.

I'm of the firm belief that it is never too early to go holiday shopping. This way, there's no paying double for overnight shipping or dealing with long lines on Christmas Eve (we've all been there). Every year without fail, I grab a gift set of Tocca hand creams as stocking stuffers for my mom, grandma and mother-in-law. 

Since Nordstrom is already dropping their holiday gift sets (which you should definitely check out), why not take advantage? Worth $36, this $30 trio comes with three of the brand's most popular scents: Florence, Colette and Cleopatra. For what it's worth, I wear the Florence Eau de Parfum pretty much every day and highly recommend it.

If you're a chronic over-packer like I am, packing cubes will be your saving grace. This Monos set comes with four different-sized mesh cubes. Not only do they save a serious amount of space in your suitcase, but they also come with special anti-catch zippers so you don't have to worry about snagging any clothes. 

In fact, we just named these babies the Best Overall Compression Packing Cubes. Yahoo's Fashion Editor Rebecca Carhart noted that the smaller cubes fit a week's worth of undergarments, lightweight tees and pajamas, while the larger sizes fit multiple sweaters, dresses and pants.

The easiest way to refresh your fall wardrobe is to invest in a new leather tote bag. It's like when you would buy a new backpack for the school year, except more fun and chic. The sage green color of this roomy tote is both trendy and goes with everything (a must for an investment buy!). 

As far as the specs go, the bag comes with both top carry handles and shoulder straps, so you can wear it however you want depending on your mood that day. It also comes with an interior wall pocket, can fit most 15-inch laptops and features a flat base for stability. 

$268 at Nordstrom

While getting dressed this morning I realized that I desperately need new underwear — specifically cozy and comfy briefs. While on the pricier side, this high-waisted style is worth the $20 (or three for $48). There's no restricting waistband and the fabric is a soft, stretchy micromodal blend. 

I mean, just take it from this five-star Nordstrom reviewer: "These are so light and soft. I have to check to make sure I didn't forget to put on underwear. Great fit, cute cut and so far they are durable. I will be buying more."

Like any good shopping editor and beauty enthusiast, my heart skips two beats whenever Charlotte Tilbury drops a new product. The latest from the legend are cooling hydrogel eye patches. Just plop them under the eye for 10 minutes and they promise to brighten, smooth and hydrate. 

Pro tip: Use them right before applying makeup for a prepped, glowy look.

While big, fluffy robes are the standard, the knee-length waffle robe is seriously underrated. However, they can run you upwards of $125 — but this style from Nordstrom is only $80. The textured and breathable 100% cotton material is ideal for drying off post-shower without aggravating your skin like traditional terrycloth. 

This gray plum shade toes the line between neutral and colorful, just the way I like it (you can still grab it in classic white).

As far as I'm concerned, Halloween starts September 1 and Le Creuset clearly agrees. I also love a fun mug (this way everyone knows that it's mine and won't use it), and a pumpkin mug? So fun. This seasonal baby can hold 14 ounces of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and even soup. And you can even keep it nice and warm by plopping on the matching lid.

One of the season's biggest trends is polished sweaters instead of oversized and slouchy styles. Still, coziness is the most important factor when it comes to sweaters, and this cable knit cardigan is the perfect combo of refined and comfy. Because I can wear it buttoned, resting over my shoulders, unbuttoned or tied around my neck á la old money New England, it's the perfect addition to my closet.

$62 at Nordstrom

I will spend my entire life trying to be as chic as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and I know there's more of us out there. One of her signature pieces was a simple, acetate headband. Not only is this headband neutral enough to go with every hair color and texture, but it's also the easiest way to hide bad hair days.

$24 at Nordstrom

Yes, there are many reasons to invest in a pair of Hoka sneakers: they're beloved by celebs, podiatrists and shopping editors (hi, me!), plus they're supremely comfortable and supportive. This all comes from the cushioned midsole, active foot frame and patented MetaRocker. On top of that, this pair of Solimars also features an extended crash pad and extra rubber in high-wear areas. The real reason I have my eye on these, though? They're just really, really pretty. 

$125 at Nordstrom

Quick reminder: It still rains in the fall. Not every day is sunny and crisp like a Nora Ephron movie, so a good rain jacket is crucial. This style from cool-girl brand Rains comes in an A-line silhouette, which is flattering on every body shape. It's cute enough to wear even when it's not raining. 

On the more technical side, the jacket is waterproof and windproof and features a front snap closure and a drawstring hood. It also has side welt pockets. 

$140 at Nordstrom

Speaking of things to wear with a white tee, this frilly maxi skirt is the top contender — and an easy way to lean into the boho trend. Plus, when it comes to fall fashion, I am the queen of dark florals (ask anyone in my life). The flirty style features a smocked waist for ultimate comfort and it's machine washable. A dream. 

$178 at Nordstrom

One of fall's most viral fashion items is the Vince Camuto Sangeti boots. I mean, this TikTok post alone has racked up 1.5 million views in just a few days. They're timeless, stylish and come in both standard and wide-calf sizing. And the 2.75-inch block heel gives you a little lift while still being comfortable enough to walk in all day.
