9 Coveted Fashion-Girl Brands You Should Be Shopping at Nordstrom in 2020

New year, new you, or something like that. If a fresh aesthetic is what you’re going for as you enter 2020, let Nordstrom be your one-stop shop. You probably already go to the retailer for your more basic pieces like lingerie, sneakers, and beauty products, but what we often forget is that Nordstrom is chock-full of some of the fashion crowd’s most covetable brands, both more established ones and ones that are on the up and up. 

Including Ganni, Timeless Pearly, and BY FAR, we rounded up the top nine fashion-girl brands you should be shopping at Nordstrom this year. Ahead, learn a little bit about each brand and shop my favorite picks.

Stand Studio is one of the go-to brands for some of the cutest statement-making faux-fur coats on the market. From cropped jackets to oversize coats, keep this brand in mind for all your outerwear needs. 

Got cute accessories? If you answered no to that question, then it’s time you add some Timeless Pearly jewelry and hairpins to your Nordstrom shopping cart. Complete with all the quirks and frills your heart could desire, this is the accessory brand to know and wear right now.  

If you’re always on the hunt for a good party outfit, then chances are you’re familiar with the brand Area. Typically adorned with crystals of all kinds, this brand is one to consider splurging on in 2020.

Having just won the category for Emerging Brand of the Year in our annual Street Style Awards, Khaite is definitely the brand to watch and buy as we enter 2020. Offering classic American staples like little black dresses, denim, and lots of poplin, it’s clear why fashion girls are so obsessed with this brand. 

Sandy Liang is the brand fit for cool girls everywhere. I’m convinced that Sandy single-handedly made the fleece jacket a thing again thanks to her fresh take on it, but fashion girls also come to her for sporty yet flirty pieces beyond the reinvented classic fleece jacket.

Scrolling on Instagram without spotting at least one BY FAR product is nearly impossible. The brand has officially become a staple item among the wardrobes of It girls everywhere, including yours should you add any of the below to your cart. 

Danish brand Ganni continues to impress consumers with its quirky yet wearable clothing. From oversize collars to crazy prints, having this brand in your closet will ensure striking outfits time and again. 

Rejina Pyo is a London-based designer fit for the true fashion girl. If you’re craving a more diverse wardrobe this year, be sure to stock up on Rejina’s new animal prints and tailored pieces. 

Simply put, Beaufille is quite stunning. This brand is all about the fine details, meaning you’re bound to receive compliment after compliment immediately upon stepping out of the house.

John Beilein Calls Players ‘Thugs’ in Film Session, Claims He Meant to Say ‘Slugs’

Cavaliers coach John Beilein says he meant to refer to his players as “a bunch of slugs” rather than “thugs.”

Cavaliers coach John Beilein left his players “stunned” after he said they were no longer playing like “a bunch of thugs” in a film session on Wednesday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowki reports. 

Beilein reportedly did not know he used the phrase until Cleveland general manager Koby Altman reached out to him later that day. Once he was informed, Beilein started contacting his players individually to explain he meant to say “slugs” during the film session.

“I didn’t realize that I had said the word ‘thugs,’ but my staff told me later I did and so I must have said it,” Beilein said to ESPN. “I meant to say ‘slugs,’ as in slow moving. We weren’t playing hard before, and now we were playing harder. I meant it as a compliment. That’s what I was trying to say. I’ve already talked to eight of my players tonight, and they are telling me that they understand.”

Altman is reportedly in the process of gathering more context on the film session after players were “increasingly disturbed” upon leaving the meeting. 

Tensions have been high among the Cavaliers as of late, as Kevin Love recently had a reported emotional outburst at practice and has shown frustration during games. Beilein has also been “slow to connect” with the young Cavaliers squad, according to Wojnarowski. The team has struggled to find success this season and is currently in the midst of a five-game losing streak.

Beilein signed a five-year contract with the Cavaliers in May after he spent 12 years with the University of Michigan. Cleveland is 10-27 on the season.
