What To Buy From Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, According to Katie

Katie believes (and we agree) that comfortable bras don't have to be dowdy, which is one of the reasons she's been wearing this simple, sleek one. "These Honeylove Crossover Bras are my new favorite: no digging, no weird bulges, no urge to rip it off the second you walk in the door. The crossover design gives you a little lift without going full push-up, and the fabric is so smooth it practically disappears under a T-shirt," she says.

Technically this is one of Molner's favorites, but we think Katie will be tempted to buy him one considering this is the lowest price you'll ever find the high-quality, endlessly wearable sweater. John and Katie have been Peter Millar loyalist for years, and this organic cotton quarter-zip was one of the items that introduced them to the brand. (Katie loves their women's golf gear, but unfortunately Nordstrom only carries Peter Millar in men's.)

A simple leather belt never goes out of style, but that doesn't mean you have to spend big on it. For less than $50, you can snag this Madewell design that's nearly identical to one Katie has. Not only will it hold up for years, but the slim style, rich brown hue, and gold buckle will instantly pull together and enhance any outfit that feels slightly lackluster or incomplete. All that, and it'll keep your pants where they belong, which is the most important feature of a belt.

One of Katie's favorite appliances in her Hamptons house is her baby blue SMEG toaster, so this mixer in the same hue would fit right in to her beach-chic kitchen.

You're probably sick of hearing us say this by now, but nothing in the jewelry department works harder than a pair of simple gold hoops. Not only are these tough enough to hold up to daily wear (which you'll welcome due to their chic, current aesthetic), but you can actually remove the bottom link to turn them into slim huggie earrings when the minimalistic mood strikes.

Even when she's in the gym, Katie's shoe game is on point. These streetwear-adjacent sneakers have been her go-to as of late. She wears the chunky kicks for everything from running errands to weight-bearing exercises. We don't recommend these for intense workouts (it's safer to opt for something with more support, like the also on-sale On Coast Sneakers, which Katie relies on for higher-impact exercise), but for arm and back days, the New Balances work like a charm.

For years, Katie's lip combo has stayed the same: MAC's Whirl lipliner and MAC's lipstick in Hug Me. This set includes her must-have liner, and even though the lipstick isn't her exact shade, it's a neutral pinky-brown that looks amazing on just about anyone.

If Katie had to commit to one shirt silhouette, we'd bet on the button-up. It's a fixture in her wardrobe for good reason: It works just as well with jeans as it does layered under a blazer or worn as a swimsuit cover up. This crisp white version has the slightly oversized fit that she prefers, and it's under $50 during the sale.

Katie reaches for her Hunter boots whenever the forecast — or the garden — calls for them. They keep mud, wet grass, and brush at bay, and after years of wear, she says her pair is still going strong. A quick rinse with the hose is usually all they need before heading back to the closet.

Katie gravitates toward shoes that make getting dressed quick and question-less, and these flats are a prime example. The delicate pointed toe gives them a refined shape, while the classic design makes them an easy match for everything from casual denim to dressier looks.

Katie's wardrobe often strikes a balance between classic and cool, and these black leather pants fit right in. With a streamlined straight-leg shape and supple leather finish, they bring structure to an outfit without feeling overly formal. They're also lined, so you won't find your legs sticking uncomfortably to the inside when you get the slightest bit warm.
