Thanks for letting me know! Was thinking of popping by, not sure I will now.

There were a couple of interesting grey leather bags on page 8 I'd like to see IRL.

Also might try the MD Skincare offering http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3031135?...2-6f647563745f

The paper catalog has a fold-out front page, that's where the Burberry shoes are. They are not shown in the online catalog. I scanned the page. Not the best scan, but you get the idea of what the shoes look like.
$189.90, after sale $295.
Both, leather/canvas, black, imported. European whole sizes 35-41 (US sizes 5-11m). Selected stores.
Ballerina flat HN261380
Wedge shoes HN261379
Salon Shoes.

^^^Thank you so much for scanning this! I was hoping for more leather detail but this gives a great idea, thanks!

Well, now I think I'm going to pick up those Sam Edelman boots with the snaps up the back. I think I'm going to at least try them on when I go on the 17th to pick up my stuff. This time, however, I'm going to order an online gift card through ebatesdotcom using my Nordstrom card, so I get the double points, but I also get the cash back from ebatesdotcom, and then make my purchases using the gift card, and any extra on my Nordstrom card. That's the thing I hate the most about presaling, I can't get gift cards through ebatesdotcom to get the cash back and get the double points on my Nordies card unless I just wait until the sale, but I can never wait.

Do the SAs know what clothing items will be on sale (ones that aren't shown in the catalogs)? I'm really interested in a couple Fall 09 Theory pieces and I've been waiting for a MBMJ runway Spring/Sum 09 dress to go on sale.

You sound like me

I was looking at that luscious Chloe double-breasted cardigan and thinking "if only!". I think, but am not sure that the rooms that have the sale items have everything. But I don't want the pressure of having someone standing there while I look at everything and feel like I have to decide right then. I think the Preview rooms could be a blessing and a curse.

Of course what are really saying is "give us everything in the catalogue so we can decide ahead of time!"

Has anyone seen the sunglasses they're going to have? My SA I talked to thought there might be a ray ban wayfarer style on sale, can anyone confirm that and perhaps show a picture?

alliemia · Jul 7th, 2009, 03:21 PM

i went today and was not thrilled with the choices. got the burberry tote in berry and a pair of suede uggs with the side zip.

the thing is, my SA had to call in a phone order for the UGGS, so she added the burberry tote onto the phone order. So it's all just going to ship to me. but I didn't get a receipt for any of it. She said it'll all be in the package. I'm sure I'll get the stuff, but just odd to walk out with no receipt.

no...no raybans. there's juicy, michael kors, kate spade, valentino, gucci, pucci, jimmy choo, and some others I can't think of right now. :/

I'm a newbie on the pre-sale thing, I was wondering, is this sale only available for people who are on Level 2? Or can anyone with a Nordie card order things from the sale online or in-store? Thanks!

saint2sinner · Jul 7th, 2009, 03:47 PM

^^you can, they'll not so strict about the vip card now. it's basically anyone can pre-sell. if you can't make it in the store, can always call a SA to put one aside for you as well. HTH!
