Pink isn't my color but if it's yours and you're on the fence about the Longchamp cuir, GET IT. The pink is a beautiful shade and really highlights the quality of the leather. Colors vary from year to year and this years is not too pepto or pale. I hope next year they come out with a dark forest green or persimmon red.

Agree 100% I saw this in store and almost purchased it- but I have way too many Longchamp totes already!
 
A few reviews...


https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/leith-open-front-dolman-sleeve-cardigan/5196416
Leith Open Front Dolman Sleeve Cardigan. Soft but felt so flimsy, like it would pill immediately. Didn't like the draping either. Returning.

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nordstrom-at-home-kennebunk-bliss-plush-throw/3564757
Kennebunk Throw - did anyone think these were thinner than previous years? I have bought these every sale, and I swear this year's is thinner than last's (as I sit here fondling both of them, ha). I'll keep it because these are so soft and I love the tassles, but it is disappointing.
I bought the Leith Open Front Dolman Sleeve cardi in both cws. When I first looked at them and tried one on, I thought meh- this is not worth even the sale price. But as I fiddled with it and adjusted the collar, it started to look really nice. For me it is an easy piece to throw on and not feel like I have a heavy sweater on yet get coverage over leggings, etc. So I will likely keep them. But I do get your point about this item.
 
I have been eying the longchamp expandable for years but can’t tell if it’s really that useful. I love my expandable weekender. How often do you actually expand it? It sold out so I’ll have to wait another year anyway...
I use the bag for work and for travel. The expandable option is a nice feature; sometimes I have a lot to carry when I take my lunch and computer to work.
 
Went again today but to a smaller store, lots of beauty stuff still available. I looked through the clothes a little but didn't see anything I had to have. A lot of the shoes they were very limited on sizes. I liked these sunglasses but they didn't seem very sturdy, I also always manage to get scratches on the lenses too so tend to buy cheaper pairs:

Something navy shine trim wool fedora hat. Comes in camel and dark grey.

Once again, great design but so cheaply made. Returning. I sense a theme here...

Bad
Felt quality is subpar, and look at the pic of camel underside. They didn't even cut the edges of the brim evenly.

Good
Chic design and flattering on, the adjustable tie can make hat smaller than the 22' max.

I finally got some of the things I ordered!! I still have 4 items in limbo (aka "getting ready") and I tried to cancel one order today and they were "updating the system" and couldn't cancel it for me... the CS just keeps getting worse:sad:

My favorites and keepers:

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sanctuary-city-knit-blazer-coat-plus-size/5271071
This was super flattering and cut generously. I got the 1X and I have plenty of room for layering if I want to.

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/madewell-patch-pocket-pullover-sweater/5033527
Love these Madewell sweaters .. quality and fit was the same as the ones from Madewell. I got this fun stripe and a solid in XXL (I'm a 16)

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/topshop-oversize-v-neck-sweater/5302190
The purple color is gorgeous and the fit is oversized and a bit cropped which works perfectly for me. I got the L and it is still oversized on me.

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/j-crew-merci-beaucoup-tee/5268602
Loved this J Crew tee -- it's a thin knit and runs a bit large -- the XL fit me perfectly and I would normally order an XXL from them.

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/allsaints-rosey-modal-scarf/5259806
Great scarf for the $ from a fave brand!

Now.. onto the things that didn't work out and which I'm returning tomorrow:

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/monica-vinader-fiji-bar-friendship-diamond-chain-ring/5121447
Way too dainty and fragile.. I was afraid I was going to break it putting it on

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kut-fr...m-straight-leg-jeans-motive-plus-size/4586962
Kut normally fits me well but these were large in the waist and thighs, tight in the knees and oddly loose at the ankles.

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/leith-ponte-high-waist-kick-flare-pants-regular-plus-size/5178661
I didn't like the skimpy fabric nor the fit. The print was nice and the flare hit me at the right part of my leg (I'm 5'5")

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/avec-les-filles-notched-collar-faux-fur-coat/5272084
I so wanted to love this .. the cut is nice and I love that it has buttons instead of those hooks. It ran about a size small on me.

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/1-state-leopard-jacquard-eyelash-cardigan-plus-size/5270792
Another one I wanted to love -- I got this instead of the BP one because I thought the fabric quality would be better. The fabric is a nice weight but it had an odd "wet" feel to it. It also isn't that generously cut and it doesn't have pockets.

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/something-navy-utility-blouse-nordstrom-exclusive/5214903
The reviews on this were spot on. Very weird fit -- those puffy shoulders are much more prominent than they look on the model. The buttons gapped on me yet the blouse was large everywhere else. I wasn't a fan of the fabric either. I did like the print and the fold back cuffs.

So far, my budget is seriously happy but I have 2 huge bags to return tomorrow!

Here are more thoughts on my items!

Halogen Flowy Shift Dress in Navy Red Floral - not flattering by itself. Sleeve cuffs are also a bit loose. Pattern is cute but returning.

J.Crew Stretch Cotton Poplin Top - cute top. Not see through (that I can notice) which is a pet peeve of mine for white tops! Still thinking about this one though because the sleeves are a bit more flowy than the picture shows.

State Lace Trim Camisole - got this in both colors. Love the look of both of them! I feel like it’s a little expensive for the type of fabric so on the fence about keeping them for now. Is it me or do some 100% polyester blouses seem like the material is better than other 100% polyester shirts? Am I missing something here?
