I still haven't seen this Reiss coat everyone is talking about! But if it helps, I noticed that Selfridges has a bunch of Reiss jackets, blazers and wool coats on super sale right now, along with Allsaints, Sandro, Joseph and similar "vibe" brands.

Aw, shucks!!! They have the Reiss coat on sale (The Leah) however, only in a UK size 6. Theres lots of other goodies on there though!

I think my “clever” trick has backfired on me. I ordered the Rails Ingrid shirt from the NSale and love it, but then I saw what I thought was the same shirt on the Rack website for $40 ($70 less). So I ordered it, of course, intending to return the NSale one. They appeared identical on the site...same measurements, sizing, color name, etc. Except as you can see, there’s actually quite a difference in color in person.
Rack on the left, NSale on right.View attachment 5141887View attachment 5141888Sadly for me I greatly prefer the cooler toned one on the right, as far as color and also a greater contrast in the acid-washed areas. So I guess I’ll be keeping the $110 one...unless you guys think I’m being ridiculous and can tell me to stop splitting hairs and save myself $70.
Anyway lesson learned. I’ll not be experimenting anymore lol.

They look so similar, I would keep the cheaper one.

I dont want to sound like a debbie downer about revitalash products, but just for everyone to be aware, I know the lash growth products can cause potential side effects (fat loss in the orbital bone area, darkening of eyelids). I used it for 6 months and my lashes got long, thick and so luscious after about 2-3 months, however some started curling in a funny, uncontrollable manner, and my eyelids got dark reddish purple (and my skin is quite fair). I ceased use because of this.

I'm not sure about the brow product, but I am curious if it would have similar side effects if used on the lash line?

OMG! Did the darkening revert?

No, I ordered the 12, I have broad shoulders and I tried the medium on in a Reiss sweater And it was a hard no. I’m hoping it ships. I’m more curious than anything at this point. Haven’t heard anything good about it but the sweater I got that was a miss was beautifully constructed and the material was to die for. If this coat works I’m sure I’ll have to shorten it. We shall see.

good point re: alterations. That’s the one perk that I’ve never used up and it’s basically free notes

The last of my first order from the 14th should arrive today as well as the last of what I ordered on the 16 with 2-day shipping. That seems so long ago. I have 4 more items that are in getting ready mode from the 16th which I didn't pay for shipping, maybe they will arrive maybe not.... first-world problems I know... Shipping always seems to be an issue, remember last year the postal service was devastated by covid and then there were storms in the mid-west that shut down the processing center?

I wonder if they decentralized shipping this year just in case. All of my anniversary sale stuff is shipping from the west coast (LA, WA, OR, Bay Area), which is where I’m located. Everything has shipped except for the Frame dress I ordered early Friday morning (which has been in stock since yesterday) and my second attempt at ordering the Boll & Branch sheets.

My first box with a ton of stuff came from the west as well, I'm in GA, so many things shipping from vendors. Maybe this made it all easier for them. The volume also surpassed the time and labor Im sure.... Next year when I live in the Bay Area it will all ship from distro center in VA.. LOL

Check your local TJ Maxx for Aquis turbans and towels. There were many available a couple weeks ago and I stocked up because I haven’t seen them in that type of store for many years. $9.99 each vs $40 for two in the sale.

Target also have them $20/each at regular price.

I’m really debating bombas, I want some but I have issues with the no show socks. Most of the time in my sneakers and basically all my shoes they get slowly pulled down at my ankle/heel and basically I spend the whole day pulling them back up. Maybe that is just the brand I tried but I’m fearful I’ll have the same issue if I get any socks that are at or below the height of my heels. I usually only wear ankle or higher socks

this happens to me too. including with bombas. i always assumed it was because i wear my sneakers loose so there is more up and down repeated friction pulling them down?? it doesn't happen as much with my running shoes (i assume cause they aren't quite as loose), but who knows what the deal is. it drives me completely bonkers.
frankly - the fact that higher ankle socks and visible socks in general are "in" right now is such a welcome change for me. life was rough when we HAD TO wear no-show socks. lol.

Alright, so I took my break at work to hop over to Nordstrom (it's conveniently 2 minutes away from my office), and....

They got Reiss stuff in!

1. The Reiss Leah Coat- This is actually.... Awful . What a let down. I was looking forward to this SO badly. The material is thin, lightweight, super cheap feeling, and also wrinkles easily and honestly looks like something I could buy at Forever 21. I was so sad.

2. The Reiss Penny Rib Split Sleeve Dress - This was more beautiful on than expected, this went home with me. My true size small fit me perfectly. I will take a photo of me wearing this later once I get home. I am 5'10 and the fitted lower portion stops right above my knee. I like the color too - It's like a heathered taupe.

3. The Reiss Split Sleeve Top (is this also called Penny? I forgot)- This was okay. It is an ivory color, and I didnt find it as flattering as the dress so it did not go home with me. Fits true to size, but I feel it rides up due to the fitted lower half, probably because my hips are quite a bit wider than my waist.

OMG! Did the darkening revert?

It did, yes! Thankfully. My eyelashes also reverted and are back to being about 25% shorter and less dense, lol! But that's okay.

How disappointing! I know you really wanted the coat. I have a Zara camel coat that’s wool/poly/viscose and it’s held up really well so I was hoping maybe the Reiss would be similar in texture and longevity. It even impressed my mom into thinking it was a HE coat lol.

oooooh - I'm glad you got to check it all out in person. I keep stalking the Reiss Sibil Henley Sweater. I wish someone would tell me that it was awful too so that I could move on in life...
edited to add: sorry about the coat! it was so gorgeous online

Both the size I received today and the 1.25 size I traded in had posts. Thanks for the advice

Thank you for that info re: the posts.

Also, did your diamond studs arrive in a postage-marked UPS box within a postage-marked UPS box? Now I’m just being paranoid that these somehow aren’t the right earrings and someone switched them out in transit. (I mean, they ARE the right earrings. Probably. Maybe. Unless they aren’t. )

I was hoping the same! It just fell flat sadly. Also it was just so wrinkly and didnt sit well on my body. It seems my luck with coats from this sale has been very poor lol!

Just got my first cancellation which was the BDG green flannel in Medium. I ordered it at exactly 3am EST so that kind of sucks. I think I will live though lol
