LOL... You were actually my contact with your sales rep last year.. when you said he was in designer I thought that it sounded so familiar... thank you again. He was/is awesome... I thought about just giving him my whole list when the icons were saying stuff was selling out before early access opened since I have the dreaded influencer status level. But I didn’t want to saddle him with returns that may happen. As there were a couple of shoes and some new denim brands I was unsure of.

I was thinking we had the same SA! Then definitely send him your list! He's great about checking on my items. There's a few items (Converse, Zella, ASTR, etc.) that I am having him stalk as well. He sent me a few emails and texts asking if I needed anything since I originally didn't contact him during the first few days of Icon (I was camping and in the process of moving).
 
Ladies, quick question to those who own or have tried on the AllSaints Balfern jacket:
https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/allsaints-balfern-lambskin-leather-biker-jacket/5274693

Does this style have the snap buttons to hold the lapel flaps down for the blue/pink version? My other Balfern jacket (not bought at Nordstrom) has it, but I can't tell if the Nordstrom version has it.
On mine, the top lapel (technically the collar) has snaps on the front but no snaps underneath. The lower lapel (the true lapel) has fully functional snap buttons to hold down the flaps. I hope that makes sense!
 
Oh probably- the SA's seemed to be fairly busy. This was over near pick-up so a lot of commotion. I am sure it got put in the back by now to be sent back to the vendor or whatever. Too bad.

They most certainly did used to restock for the public sale. I almost always could find sold out items that were listed again. Yes, they used to also have new items that they would add to the sale over time. I miss those days.

Thanks - I could have sworn they used to also, at least a few of the items. It’s been quite a few years since I shopped the sale, though; I remember being able to find a good portion of it later on at the Rack so I never paid too much attention while it was going on. Which I am sure is the reason for the lack of inventory - if 3/4 of it ends up at the Rack for 70% off, why buy it at 30% off?
 
I’ve got to second the SA thing. I finally reached out today over the silliest thing - yes the darn joggers I want - and she found them and sent them to me. (My SA was shared on this board last year too, if someone has a good SA just PM for the info it’s worth it). She told me to just send my list next year and she can pull stuff and I will. If this is the way the anny sale is going I’m happy to order from an SA and keep/return stuff knowing I’ll keep enough to make them and myself happy. Retail continues to sometimes be a place where a person is better than a computer ;)
 
Here is my update. I ordered these items last Friday:

While waiting for that order I bought 2 bras, a pair of shorts (returned) and this dress. I thought I would return this dress, but nope! I feel in love with it.
https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/j-cr...edsort&breadcrumb=Home/All Results&color=navy

I was stalking the site for this hat which I finally was able to buy. The site kept saying sold out. But guess what, when I went to my store today, they were in stock with at least 4! And I didn’t like it, lol
https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/brixton-joanna-iii-wool-felt-hat/5269348

I bought these shoes the but the strap broke. They are comfy though, had to return: Marc Fisher sandals
https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-fischer-ltd-vega-sandal-women/5249157

So I found this hat instead and fell in love
The wide brim Panama hat with snake skin trim. Tan color. Love love love. Can’t find link since it is sold out online.

I also found a return of the Fig Longchamp le pliage expandable tote. Sold out online.

And finally, ordered 3 items yesterday, picked up today, shopper, sold out online.

Two joggers:

https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/bp-d...ome/All Results&color=navy peacoat jack plaid


Whew! It has been a week of ups and downs. I have one coat I’m eyeing but it wasn’t in the store for me to try on. So I’ll order that and will finally be done.
 
All my orders from last Friday have finally shipped. I ordered the BFD circle cardigan http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/4114466 in 3 colors in my usual size. Do these run large?
I actually ordered up a size in the Heathered Pearl Circle out of cancellation desperation! I can't say I'm unhappy with the look, if anything it's a tad more slouchy cozy.
If you look up the measurements on QVC they only vary by 1/2 inch between sizes mostly. I was so upset over the larger size that I did all kinds of BFD stalking, lol. I've never been on QVC in my life! It did make me feel brave enough so snagged a Montecito in the sold out Loden colorway in a size up too. Different style so hope it works as well as the Circle did.
https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/barefo...t_p&sp_source=rakuten&sp_campaign=oGj7akNVsTg
Oh wow, the Montecito must be completely sold out.in all colors...can't find it:sad:

What store? I’ve been stalking that damn python trim hat since the beginning!
 
I finally made it to the Walnut Creek store this afternoon. I had 2 bags of returns and a list of things I wanted to see if I could find in store. The store wasn't crowded at all .. no lines to speak of. The problem was there was also very little Anniv. Sale merchandise. I didn't hit up all the departments... In scarves, there were very few items even included in the sale .. there are some nicer All Saints scarves on clearance actually! I headed to handbags to see if by some miracle, the Clare V snake bag got returned but they don't even carry the brand in store. I did end of buying a cute Marc Jacobs bag with a web strap (non sale).

https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-jacobs-snapshot-crossbody-bag/4903924?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home/All Results&color=blue sea multi

Cruised through beauty .. they seemed to have a decent amount left .. still had the Simple Human mirrors if anyone's looking for those. There were more people in that area than anywhere else in the store. The energy in the store from SA's and customers was really lacking. Next up .. Encore (plus) .. almost no NAS pieces at all ... I did find some plus size and the extended size (XXL) pieces over in Point of View/Savvy/Individualist area. I saw one of the pink BB Dakota jackets in XL -- it runs very small in the arms but it's nice and very soft.

This sweater is super cozy and nice .. I tried it on in-store even though I already ordered it and it finally shipped last night. It runs super large.. I sized down 2 sizes and it's still very oversized! https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/1-state-plaid-eyelash-cardigan/5264030

J Crew stuff was practically non-existent .. a couple of the stripe tees but nothing animal print to be seen. I forgot to check for the All Saints jacket but I didn't even see an Anniv Sale sign near All Saints. They had one size L in that pretty pink/blue Halogen plaid coat. Also saw a few of the Halogen faux shearling jackets in both the pink and the white and and 1X and a 2X in that Caslon leopard faux fur .. it fits tts.

Jewelry..only stopped by because I need to return that Monica V ring I got (way to delicate for moi) and ended up getting those adorable Madewell Star earrings that are on the sale (sorry - couldn't find a link on the site)

The highlight of my shopping excursion was actually Anthropologie! They're having an Anthro Day today in store and online (20% off everything) and clearance is an extra 30% off! I picked up 3 clearance tops .. one was $13.98, a clearance kimono and a regular price leopard peplum top. They carry Clare V bags as well (no snake ones tho) and they are 20% today also!

Yes that does thank you! I was curious because my suede Balfern Mix has no snaps on the lapels but my leather one has, so it's strange about the inconsistency within the same style.

Hahaha. The darn joggers and the elusive purple shake pajama short set are what I am still stalking and I could be talked into the candle by Anthropologie

I have a wonderful personal stylist there that helped me out so much. If you want her information send me a private message.
