Hiii from Quebec City! Neal and I are here for our Christmas present trip and both looking forward to a couple days off and the chance to soak up a brand new city! It is FREEZING but so beautiful and charming!

Speaking of freezing, I’m teaming up with Nordstrom again for today’s post highlighting some great cold-weather must-haves! You remember my favorite PJ’s + Loungewear review? This time, I’m focusing on great cozy staples that’ll last you through even the longest snowmageddon. (Which, in Chicago, that basically means until Spring Break–YAYYYY.)

If I had to pick ONE one-stop shop for winter shopping, it would be Nordstrom. They have everything you could need at every price point (their own brands–Halogen, BP, Treasure and Bond, in particular, are my favorites for quality and price! Sharing more of those favorites today!) and they make your shopping as easy as possible.

Whether you need something last minute for your weekend cabin getaway this weekend, a last-minute holiday party, or your approaching gift exchange, they have free shipping, curbside pickup, and depending on where you live––even same-day delivery!

They also price match, so you can always be sure you’re getting the best deal, AND if you see anything cheaper in hindsight–you can call and they will price-adjust for you! Truly, they cannot be beat. I also highly recommend joining their rewards program (The Nordy Club!) because you earn points you can redeem on your next purchase with every order!
