Did anyone try on this dress yet? I am a size 6, and I ordered a small even though the size chart says I should be a medium. I thought that since it was wide, it would be okay. I like the width, but it is a bit too short for me. If I raise my arms up high, then everything below my waist is exposed No one needs that kind of show, haha. I've been mildly stalking the medium to no avail. I was wondering if anyone tried it in their recommended size so I know whether the medium length will work for me.

After reading all your reviews, I'm interested in the Olaplex set. For those of you that have it, how often do you use it and about how long do you think it will last. I'm debating on whether I should get 1 or 2 sets for now.

I use the mask once a week (I usually only wash my hair twice a week, so every other time I wash my hair).

I like the shampoo and conditioner but it’s a nice-to-have, not a must-have, for me.

I’m so surprised how they are doing it this year. It’s really odd they are cancelling items then restocking them 3 hours later. I was thinking that I’ll just wait until the sale ends and call when things restock and ask them to honor the price. They’ve done that in the past and with the mess they’ve created this year, they absolutely should honor the price for canceled orders.

That’s what I’m going to do with some items that I know will cancel since they’re still getting ready and already sold out. And also there is a pair a frame jeans that as an icon the first day already sold out in my size so if that comes back in stock after the sale I know my stylist will honor the price because she couldn’t even find it and she knew it was on my wish list and tried to pull it. Ridiculous!

Gorgeous! I am thinking about purchasing a pair, but still on the fence. I owned a pair of Golden Goose sneakers but ended up selling them as they were not as comfortable.

I’ve never tried GG but I love the look of them. I do have 2 pairs of p448 and plan on getting more. They’re super comfortable and IMO run wide. I personally have wide feet so it works great for me, others with more narrow feet may find them too roomy. I have also gotten them at great prices, my first pair I bought at Nordstrom rack.com for $135 the second pair I waited until they were on a minor sale and used a coupon code and it was the same price. The high top ones have a slight wedge in them but are even more cushioned than the low tops. I would go for it but warn you that it will make you want to buy more lol.

I wash my hair 2-3 times a week and use the No.3 Hair Perfector once a week. There is a new product, No.8 Bond Intense Moisture mask, that I like even better but it's not in the sale. Between the No.3 and the No.8 products, I don't use the conditioner (No.5) very often. I bought three sets last year and I am using the last bottle of shampoo and the No.3 treatment but I still have 2 of the conditioners (No.5) unopened. HTH!

Wow, thanks for the feedback. Great tip regarding checking Nordstrom Rack. I always forget that.

I can help with some comparison opinions.... Golden Goose (which I also have a couple pairs of) are definitely a thick, high-quality, breaking-in-absolutely-required type of sneaker. They start really snug and form to your foot. (I wear mine loose but even still, they are snug and formed to my foot compared to all of my other sneakers).
They also have more of a sophisticated, chic vibe (even when they have sparkles/graffiti/animal prints), whereas p448s are more of a high-end surfer shoe. They have terry cloth, super-soft liners and require zero breaking in. They are just looser and super comfy right out of the box. They have more of a CA vibe... "I am somehow wealthy even though I never work, surfed this morning, and didn't have time to find socks before slipping on my sneakers lined in towel material to wick the sea and sand off of my beautifully tanned feet."
I love both brands, but p448s are definitely less pretentious, more casual, and WAY more forgiving in terms of ease of wear. You should definitely try them. I would always recommend p448 over GG for someone wanting to deep dive into fancy sneakers without all the fuss.

Useful comparison. Thanks so much. You are spot-on re GG being a breaking-in required type of sneakers. I have a problem with that, considering I paid so much and I still need to break in the shoe. I ended up selling my pair on ebay. I will see if there are at P448s left in my local Nordstrom and try them out. I have been wearing my Cole Haan white sneakers (minimal) from several seasons ago, which I purchased at a Nordstrom Anniversary sale. They are indeed the perfect, minimal white sneakers. My only complaint is the lack of padding which makes the shoe more comfortable. I am looking for a replacement pair (white minimal sneaker).

Here’s my theory...

When you put an item in your bag, if it’s shipping directly from vendor/brand, you don’t have the option for expedited shipping or store pickup. These items have been cancelling on me (Vince coatigan, Boll & Branch sheets). If it’s eligible for expedited shipping or store pickup, its shipping from a distribution center or is actually located in a store (either a return or inventory meant for the store) where Nordstrom can control when the item is prepped for shipping.

Great suggestion pixiejenna! I did a quick search on Nordstrom Rack's website and there were tons of P448 available between the $130.00 to $140.00 range. They look just as stylish and similar to the Nordstrom Anniversary sale P448s.

Not sure about that, as I had an item cancel on me from my midnight Friday order that I saw in my local store that morning. Too bad I didn't just pick it up then. I give up trying to find the logic in any of this. Just rolling with it...

Lip sets arrived. Nars is tiny, like about my pinky size. Reminds me of the sephora free bday gift sizes. Kinda love it still...has nice slip and is moisturizing. I think I'm going to try their gloss set.

The YSL colors are quite pretty, and they have nice weight. Am a sucker for square bullet.

At this year's sale, I focused on mid-range priced jewelry. I ordered one jewelry piece online as I prefer to see the jewelry in person before purchase. I purchased the Jenny Bird Faye Door Knocker Earrings in silver (unfortunately still sold out). I wanted to buy the two-tone gold/silver knocker earrings, but they were sold out before I was able to add it to my cart. I received my silver pair, and they are gorgeous. I also purchased the Monica Vinader Alta Textured necklace in silver and Monica Vinader Fiji Diamond in silver. Saw them in person at the store, and they both looked better in person than the online photos. I was concerned the Monica Vinader Alta Textured necklace was too shiny. While it is shiny, it is more of a muted shininess which was what I liked.

I did my online shopping on Friday; haven't received anything yet but I also haven't had any cancellations. Fingers crossed...

On sneakers, I've been curious about this brand: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/5139768
L'occitane, I actually purchased two of these sets in-store and did not realize there was a GWP if I'd purchased online! Oh well: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/5578322

BP cloud turtleneck: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/5673223

Still keeping my eyes peeled for a bunch of sold out items, none of which I could find in-store on Friday either. The Splendid cardigan is gone in all colors, same with the Halogen tanks! RL coat seems to have completely disappeared. But I'm fine being patient and hoping for pop-backs

Great selections! I will be curious what you think about the ON CLOUD sneakers. For me, it feels like the brand came out of nowhere. These last few years, I started seeing many people wear it. The Ralph Lauren jacket is gorgeous and a classic piece.

What I had canceled was available in store and was available all day Friday. They didn’t pick my order until Saturday and the store stock was gone by then.
