The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: 5 cool fall and winter staples we love

I love a Nordstrom sale, and their Anniversary Sale is no exception, because you can get great discounts on brand new items. So, if you've got a little cash stashed, here are 5 of my favorites, all fabulous fall and winter staples, if I do say so myself, that I'm coveting. Cool Mom Picks is a reward style affiliate.

Spanx faux leather leggings

I'm a huge fan of these faux leather leggings, because they're super flattering and pretty comfortable, at least for Spanx anyway. I wear them all winter long, with sweaters, tunics, and dresses, so I'm definitely snagging another pair. A fantastic investment that you'll wear a lot and a great price. (Originally $98, now $64.90) Hooded trench coat

If you look at any of the "closet staples" lists by various stylists around the web, a fabulous trench coat is always on the list. This MICHAEL Michael Kors trench coat comes in a couple of bright colors, as well as classic ones too. Plus, it's got a hood, which is handy if you remember your coat but forgot your umbrella. Story of my life. (Originally $210, now $129.90) Faux leather drawstring tote

Here's a fantastic deal on a versatile tote that's the perfect size, at least for what I tend to carry around. I'm partial to black, but the brown is the great neutral as well. And under $40? It's the perfect price, too. (Originally $55, now $35.90)

Linear hoop earrings

I'm completely obsessed with these hoop earrings that are such a cool twist on traditional hoops. While they might be a little fancy for every day, I'd still wear them anyway. I need a little fancy in my every day, dangit. (Originally $60, now $39.90) Waterproof riding boots

I end up living in the right pair of boots all fall and winter, and while these are a little pricey, I had to include them on my list. They're simple and waterproof, which means I can leave my not-so-stylish rain boots in the closet and wear these in any weather instead. (Originally $284.95, now $189.90)
