Dolce Vita boots arrived today. Sunlight is washing them out & making them seem lighter than they are. They’re gorgeous in real life & fit true to size. Already ordered another pair in the darker brown color.

I'll be honest, I've never been a big Tory Burch fan, but man! She's got some nice shoes in the sale this year. There's like 3 pairs I'd totally get if I didn't already have so many.

Not a huge TB fan either...I had my phase with the Riva flats decades ago after they were featured on the Martha Stewart holiday show lol. But since then, TB isn’t my speed. But I fell for these booties after seeing them on a youtuber. They’re total tomboy vibes and should work with the bajillion Rails items I bought this year.

My daughter calls me an enabler! I’m “older” and all about comfort over fashion. Both the Hunter and the Barbour make my feet happy and my very long days go smoother. My closet is not filled with a ton of clothing or shoes. What is in there are the things that I love and wear. My rule of thumb basically is that if it doesn’t put a smile on my face it goes since I will never wear/use it. Both pairs get used and still make me happy. It might be excessive to have two of the same type of shoe/boot but for many they have several sneakers. I love the practicality of wellies so for me it makes sense. Think about how much use you will get from them and go from there. Seriously, both are great if you decide to pick one.

Yes! I live by that rule too. If I don't love it, I don't buy/keep it. There's no place in my wardrobe for something I'm just kind of "meh" about. Thanks so much for your input!

ETA: My mom's a total enabler too - don't feel bad

What were the NYDJ dress pants that you ordered? I'm looking for a nice pair of pants other than jeans, preferably in black. Thank you!

They are called stretch knit trousers. I‘m not sure if these are the ones I’ve seen others rave about or if there is another style people like.

So I was planning on going to get my in store pick up when they opened and was lazy. My laziness paid off and my big Friday order came. I have a few items still on the way. I was able to check everything out and return what didn't work for me and my in store pick up at the same time. My store is a smaller one and it felt like half of the floor was dedicated to sale items. It was almost somewhat reminiscent of stores pre covid with how much stuff was on the sales floor. My return went smoothly and my pick up was also quick. They gave me a scratcher with out asking for one. I won a free drink at the ebar. They also gave me a small beauty samples with my in store pick up which I didn’t notice until I got home. I didn't pick up anything additional in store but I did look around.

My take on the items I received and returned. The biggest surprise was the Jenny Kane mule 100% believed that they would go back because they would not fit me I have wide feet. Not only did they fit they're so much better in person than in pictures. I always see ads for them but no one near me sells them so it's hard to want to try them knowing that they probably won't fit my wide feet. I do have some hesitations about them. I don't know if I would wear them enough to justify the cost of them. I'm also curious about the wear of them I would spray them with suede spray first to protect them. I think that they will crease at the toes which will make them look old quickly. I am leaning towards keeping them despite my hesitations. View attachment 5143178

I also got the Tom gold glitter shoes. These are a tad snug on the top despite that I am keeping them. They're the perfect glitter, smooth nothing flaking off.

Some of the items that I got that went back were the Nike phantom fly knit shoes. They were cute but way too snug over the top of my foot to be comfortable. I grabbed a pair of the beyond yoga leggings and omg they are smooth as butter now I know why they have such a cult following. The color however was not good for me and the others available are also not good for me. I will buy a non sale pair in a color that works for me. I also got the joggers and matching top. The top was a true crop top which I don't do. The joggers fit well but are so similar to a pair of black camo joggers I have from vuori I can't justify keeping them. I got the ugg black leopard sweater and I didn't like the fit on me. I also felt like it would be too hot for me.

I included a picture of the p448 high top we've talked about unfortunately they only had 3 pairs in store so I couldn't do a low top high top comparison color wise. A picture of the beauty samples I got with my in store pick up. And a pic of the beyond yoga leggings color. If I wasn't so pale it would look better.

I ordered them, too! They look so pretty!

I really miss seeing all the items people have ordered. I think this happened more when you could all visit the stores and got your purchases quickly if shipped.

I’m still hoping that someone can let me know about the look feel and fit of this Aquatalia. Our winters are wet so Aquatalia are great and I thought these were a nice take on the lug sole theme. The burgundy also a nice change from black. I’ve never had their shoes though only their boots.

My sister in law has ordered these for me. So when she post them I won’t be able to return so knowing if they are tts would help. I have narrow feet.

I am missing my visit to the US but currently Ireland is having a heat wave, blue skies and sunny days which is lifting the spirits. There is nowhere more beautiful when we get the weather...

okie dokie - my loafers arrived! they are actually a bit tight (i ordered a 9 - my TTS). they are tight against my foot all the way around and my toes barely graze the front. they would work with a very thin sock, but they are too tight for my preference. i like loafers with socks (like higher, visible ankle socks - schoolgirl style!), though, so there's that.
i may reorder a 9.5 and see how they are.
other than being tight (all around snug, not just length), they are quite comfy with nice supportive soles. overall, they seem very high quality and look expensive. bonus points that they are waterproof (not that we have any rain whatsoever in CA right now...)
the snake print is fun and not too shiny/cheap looking. oddly "neutral" in fact

The size chart is so off. On the left is this year’s NAS sweater in Medium. On the right is one from a few years ago, also a Medium. I get that the older one is ribbed and has stretched out some but there is a big difference in length and width.View attachment 5143295

Definitely mismarked. Looks like xtra small to fit my Trixie, who hates them. She weighs 5 lb.

I went to make returns today and left with the Tory Burch Chelsea lug sole booties in Rhum. I already bought the black but I love them so much I got the tan too. They’re so pretty and comfortable. Why I have to get everything in 2 colors I do not know.
Anyone have a good waterproofing suede spray rec?

I like the Apple Brand spray that they sell at target.... they make all-purpose shoe spray, leather specific and suede specific. They are all great (and I have used the normal shoe spray on suede and vice versa with no problems).

This brand is phenomenal. They have specifically products for certain needs

I read them and am still going to keep them. I was really surprised by how much I liked them. It might sound silly but it’s one of the few things that I have purchased in a while that really just wowed me. Everything from the packaging, the dust bag, and the feel of them just made me happy. Even though I know they will crease and show wear easily. I will spray them down before use to hopefully minimize the wear on them, but I do that to basically all my suede shoes/boots even my black p448 shoes(luckily it didn’t ruin the shimmer finish).

For what it's worth, I have had a pair of JK suede mules (same style as yours, but in the taupe color) for about a year, and they look fantastic. No creases and not much scuffing at all. Soles have held up well for being so thin too. I work from home so I am not commuting in them on subways and walking miles all day long, but I have no issues with the quality at all. If you love them, keep them. Her stuff is generally very very high quality in my experience.

This is the color I wanted but it sold out before I had access to purchase from the sale. I look daily and it never replenishes

I haven’t seen it in stock since it sold out either. But Don’t give up. A lot of the sold out items pop back up again. *Fingers crossed that you get one.

Hello! Is the BFD circle cardigan really worth the hype? I just got the BFD blanket and I am wondering if I should also try the BFD Cozy Chic Circle one. Thanks!

I feel like you do re: the BD circle cardi, but I did get it in the Pacific Blue and like it a lot. (Of course, it's currently 105 where I live . . . )

Oh.my.god.

My dog is very old and has cancer and recently adopted my jenni kayne sheepskin rug and cashmere throw. I try to think of the these costs as “part of his cancer treatment” (astronomical), and just looking at him curled up in “his” throw, on “his” rug, with his old man diaper on is enough to forgive the puddles of drool etc. that he’s leaving all over everything.

These are the most important costs, and you're obviously a wonderful dog mom. Wishing you all well!!

I ordered the toiletry case on Friday but it has yet to ship. It appears to be an online only item so I wonder if that is why it’s delayed. When did you order yours?

I placed my order on 7/16 at 3am. Hopefully yours ships soon.
