Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a certified shoe fanatic. I converted my kitchen pantry into a shoe closet, but even that has started to overflow. Some would call that a “problem,” but I call it a “collection.” The only way I can afford this footwear love affair and pay my bills is by shopping The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. More often than not, sale sections are riddled with last season’s styles in colors or patterns that don’t feel of-the-moment, but that’s not the case with the following 30 pairs of shoes. Below, you can shop black Western boots, silver ballet flats, red Mary Janes, and white sneakers that can be worn from summer through fall. You’d be impressed with how much self-restraint it took to curate this list, but join me in shopping the discounted shoes below.
Nordstrom
Mary Jane Flat
Nordstrom is still in its cherry-red era, and so am I.
Coconuts by Matisse
Blondie Square-Toe Sandal
Vacation sandals, anyone?
Rag & Bone
Retro Court Sneaker
These sneakers also come in cream and blue. I’d like both, TBH.
Steve Madden
Lezley Kitten Heel Slingback Pump
Gen Z will ensure these are sold out in no time.
Mansur Gavriel
Square-Toe Mary Jane Flat
Mansur Gavriel rarely sees a discount, so act fast.

I still have a soft spot in my heart for Barbie pink.
Schutz

Where are all my brides at?
BCBGeneration
Kami Pointed-Toe Kitten-Heel Pump
I’m tempted to buy these in the leopard print too.
BCBGeneration

So simple and chic.

It’s a Western-girl summer, after all.

These will come in handy for every occasion from a night out in Vegas to a black-tie wedding.
