Autumn's chill may be on the distant horizon but I'm prepping for it today, as Nordstrom's epic early access sale is on, featuring just-hit-the-rack fall pieces at up to 40% off!** On my shopping list: this tie-sleeve Tibi top, these cropped, raw-hemmed Frame jeans, these suede Alexander Wang ankle boots, this Topshop leather moto jacket, this French Connection hooded parka, this lace-up Stuart Weitzman flats, and this super cozy Yigal Azrouel drape front cardigan. People, get ahead of the game--before it all goes!

**To access the sale now, you need to have a Nordstrom card which you can register for on the Nordstrom site. The sale items will be available to non-account holders as well in a week.
