I went this morning; my store opened an hour earlier than usual. It was really not crowded at all for the first hour, but got much busier around 10-11am. The check-in process was very easy, and there were stations near every entrance where you could check-in and get your wristband/rubber bracelet. No one was "policing" the Icon areas at all, although maybe that got stricter as more people arrived. Everyone was lovely, per usual.

One thing I thought N did very well this year was the beauty section! I loved having all the brands pulled together in a large, accessible area. Most of what I bought came from this section, and it was really laid out well. I was underwhelmed by the clothing choices (vs. what I'm looking for) this year, although I did notice that there seemed to be a great selection of denim in men's and women's.

Here's what I took home (although there's usually more online purchases!):

Vince Camuto gray and black zebra striped cardigan....also loved that this is 100% cotton!

MAC lip kit, mini on the go lip kit, and cool-toned neutral palette.....stocking stuffers and travel sizes. The MAC travel size brush set had some good basic brushes this year, as compared to years past.

This was the MAC gift with purchase ($65+), which contained some faves of mine....mini Mehr lipstick, prep and prime lip, Fix+ sample, and travel size strobe cream, all with a cute pouch. My SA gave me some extras for my daughters, so that will go in stockings, too!

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.

Spanx active cropped leggings. TTS or go up a size for even more opacity.

Leggings that feel silky to the touch, but with compression. Returning since I prefer the 7/8 version.

Bad
Because its cropped, I need to pull it up way close to my knees to get the hem not to pucker, and hug my leg properly. Result is a look that's too cropped for my liking. Probably not an issue for non petites.

Good
At least one inch off everywhere after putting them on, and I can still breathe no prob, comfy to boot (gotta invest their new technology).

Slip for beauty sleep in caramel pillowcases.

Ah, come home to mama. Finally something that is quality and I'll be using right away. Fyi, this is my second set.

Bad
If anyone knows where to get this pillowcase set cheaper than NAS prices, pls share bc that's the only downside.

Good
Won't wax poetics, but it is by far a luxury item that I can say I've used more than any bag, jewelry, shoes, watch, whatever. So silky, heavenly to sleep on, keeps its quality year on year.

Commando faux leather leggings, better to go up a size, but TTS may work too if you like them tighter. Keeping.

Look if the faux leather is actual not bad. Inseam length is perfect for petites.

Bad
Really high waisted, like 2 in above my belly button tho not bad if you've a longer torso. There is a slight smell so I'll see if it dissipates after air out.

Good
length, look and feel is pretty nice. Wasn't as hard to get on as I'd thought. I may try ordering my reg size only to see if the leg opening would be tighter.

How many others purchased the Nordstrom Packable Print Shopper and do you like it? Seems popular since it keeps selling out. I ordered it and am just curious on how much it can hold (or would you put into it) without issues. If someone had this before the sale, how has it held up?
I’ve had mine for about ten years. It was a gift. I take it on every trip. It doesn’t hold a ton but enough. I like that it has a faux leather bottom and zipper pockets. Washes well. Love it.
 
Would you wash before using first?

Yes, I'd put a bit of lingerie detergent in a sink or basin of cold water and let it steep for 10 to 15 mins before rinsing off and then air dry. It wont be as pretty as right out of package, but you can iron it to get it crease free.

Actually, unless you get lots of night cream on it and requires machine wash, I'd almost recommend light cleaning by hand in this method if you're not lazy like me.

Did anyone try on/purchase the Linea Paolo wedge sneakers? I love wedge sneakers and bought a few last year (Caslon and Steve Madden). I even bought a few from those brands to see how they are. I wear them to dress up an outfit, though I wished that sometimes my wedge sneakers were a bit more sleek and thought that maybe this sandal/sneaker combo would fit that bill. Any photos of you/others with them on would be great!
I bought these. I think their really cute and comfortable. I wore them to dinner and got lots of compliments. I wear an 8 and found them tts. I don’t wear socks with them.
