I scrolled through nearly 20,000 Nordstrom new arrivals for November — here are my top 15

It's my job to search the retailer's digital racks and I found must-have goodies from Bombas, Skims, Sam Edelman, Free People and more.

Not to scare you, but the holiday season — and more importantly, the holiday gift shopping season — is pretty much here. And, yes, it's spookier than spooky season. Amid all this chaos, I like to add a little self-care by doing what I do best: online shopping for fun, new things. The best spot? The Nordstrom new arrivals section.

Right now, the retailer has, one, two, three, um, nearly 20,000 new arrivals to sort through. Yeah, that's a lot. As someone who shops for a living, I know a thing or two about hunting for hidden gems in the seemingly endless digital racks of Nordstrom. And because I love pushing my Nordstrom shopping cart on anybody who will listen, I'll very kindly share what I found on my treasure hunt with you — from a snuggly throw blanket and the most comfortable pair of Skims underwear in existence to an oversized sweater you'll want to wear every day.

Ready to shop? Scroll below and check out my top 15 editor-approved Nordstrom new arrivals in November. (If you're looking for a deal or two, I've also rounded up the best early Black Friday deals at Nordstrom on everything from Levi's to Tory Burch. You're welcome.)

I adore a pink sweater. If I could, I would wear one 24/7/365 — and I'm always looking for more to add to my collection. I love the oversized silhouette of this new Topshop one for a more dressed-down look (although I can see myself wearing it over a nice dress or maxi skirt to fancy it up). 

Made of a wool blend, the red piping gives the otherwise spring color a more wintery feel. And, yes, I will be wearing it on Valentine's Day come February.

Black booties are synonymous with cold-weather fashion. However, I'm looking to branch out of my shoe comfort zone with these brown suede Chelsea boots, especially since suede is so trendy right now. Oh, and the suede is waterproof?! Dreamy. 

The block heel is only 2 inches, which is great for a little bit of height without sacrificing walkability. You can wear them casually with jeans, but they'll also pair beautifully with whatever Thanksgiving look you decide to go with. 

$150 at Nordstrom

Nest liquid soap is one of the finer home luxuries I indulge in, especially around the holiday season. It's just so much more fun than my go-to Trader Joe's hand soap. Honestly, it's the same thing as buying a seasonal candle. 

The scented formula features notes of mandarin orange, pomegranate and cinnamon for a warm and spicy feel. Oh, it's also a limited edition — so pick it up while you can. 

$28 at Nordstrom

Black tights don't have to be boring — especially come December and all of the shimmery holiday parties. Which is why I'm so into these sparkly tights. But don't get scared by the name, they're not over the top! 

The opaque tights are made with shimmery threads for a dazzling look. Styling tip? Pair it with a dark-colored mini dress and simple shoes so the tights can take center stage.

You know what they say: New year, new you, new tote bag. Maybe it's the need to finally get organized come January 1, but tote bags are just flying off the shelves right now. This spacious Sam Edelman one comes in a handful of colors and includes a zippered pouch. 

The relaxed tote can fit everything from a laptop to a water bottle and your other daily necessities (including crumpled receipts). It also looks just like the $1,500+ Goyard tote without the astronomical price tag. 

$125 at Nordstrom

Dark floral dresses are a winter staple of mine — and this one is so spinny, frilly and feminine. The mock neck keeps things refined, but the billowy sleeves, smocked waist and tiered flowy skirt give it a little boho punch. 

The midi length will look so good with some knee-high black boots like this Vince Camuto pair

Okay, we are officially in the gift shopping season. Unfortunately, I come from a family of people who say "I don't know what I want!" whenever I ask. Luckily, I came across this stunning Monopoly board that will make the perfect gift for anyone!

The glass game board shimmers with special colors and iridescent accents. The houses and hotels are translucent, the dice are pretty and the custom-designed Monopoly money feels like a zillion bucks.

Bombas socks are incredible, but did you know it also makes slippers? I honestly don't trust any other brand with my feet, especially when it comes to cozy comfort. 

The slippers are made of faux fur and a rubber, cushioned footbed so your tootsies will stay coddled all season. And for those days your feet get a little sweaty? You can just pop 'em in both the washing machine and dryer. 

$65 at Nordstrom

The Skims Fits Everybody underwear collection is unlike any other underwear out there. I love them so much that I've pretty much replaced my entire underwear drawer with both the thongs and cheeky briefs — and I'm about to add a few more in this brand-new Dusk color. 

What makes them so great? They're made from the brand's signature buttery-soft and stretchy fabric that basically feels like a second skin. Just slip 'em on and you'll find nary a panty line in sight.

While you don't have to believe me, a black t-shirt is just as powerful in your fashion arsenal as the classic white tee. Not only is it great for casual outings and your day-to-day wardrobe, but you can also dress it up a bit more. 

This one from Topshop features a ribbed texture that elevates the piece that much more than your basic tees. Pair it with a nice skirt for a date night or polished trousers for the office. It's also soft enough to sleep in.

I'm getting married next spring and am stressed about many-a thing, but it's my wedding day nail color that keeps me up at night. I wish I was joking. Currently, I'm trying to find the perfect nude-ish pink — and I'm pretty sure this is it?! 

Beyond the color, this Chanel nail polish is enriched with ceramides (a skin-loving ingredient found in all of the best moisturizers) to strengthen the nails. The polish also comes in 29 colors if pink isn't your thing. 

$32 at Nordstrom

You can't go wrong with a lightweight puffer jacket that you can wear from fall through spring and folds up into basically nothing. This Free People style does it all. It's water-resistant and lined with PrimaLoft insulation for intense warmth without being too heavy. 

I love a light blue shade in the winter because it matches with the snow, but the jacket also comes in seven other shades. 

$198 at Nordstrom

Look, I love my fiancé with my whole heart — but I am not a blanket sharer. This small muslin cotton blanket is breathable, soft, warm, cozy and (best of all) perfect for just one person. If you, like me, prefer to be selfish when it comes to throw blankets, then this 50" x 60" is perfect to wrap yourself up in. 

Okay, it does also come in a Twin, Queen and King size if that's more your style. You can also snag it in 15 colors (availability varies depending on blanket size). 

$40 at Nordstrom

Yes, yes, a good pair of no-show socks will get you through the day, month, year, millennium (you get the picture), but a quality pair of tall rib socks will get you through the winter. Not only will these babies keep your feet and calves warm at home, they're the perfect pair to wear under tall boots. 

Oh, they're also only $12. If you're getting your holiday shopping done early (good for you!), then you should definitely pick up a few of these as stocking stuffers. 

$12 at Nordstrom

You can grab a classic cable organizer for your mess of cords, but why do that when you can get an entire mat. And one that costs less than some of the more popular organizers?! Just lay this thin mat on top of your desk and place the magnetic cable blocks wherever you want for easy organization. 

The mat and cables also come in two other simple colors, gray and black, so you can get one that matches your decor or your computer. It's also made of vegan leather and faux suede so you can have that touch of luxury without any guilt.
