I have a couple casual summer dresses on my list but they are still overpriced on sale ($200 range) so I may not bite. Natori underwear and and Bobbi Brown eyeshadow sticks are definite purchases. Maybe some gold jewelry that caught my eye, and the expandable Longchamp tote in either navy or plum. Also considering some Boll & Branch bedding, kitchen towels, and bath mats.

I love the Boll and Branch sheets!

Yikes! I thought the price point for these was super affordable, but this tends to be my experience with knit sneakers (toes busting out of the uppers) so I no longer buy them

I’m done too lol. I never thought it would happen so soon.
I have a couple pairs of APL sneakers that have also taken a beating, but they’re not a basic knit like these (some are stretchier, some are thicker and woven more tightly) and they’ve held up much better too. Ah well, live and learn!

ooh tell me more! Did you buy direct or from Nordstrom? Is the quality the same? I’m looking at the embroidered 300 or embroidered stripe 325 count sheets. The reviews seem to be mixed.

Oh hmm, I've never bought from Nordstrom but I would think the quality is the same. They really do get softer with each wash! Mine are not embroidered - they're just the classic white sheet set :smile: I may get a duvet cover with the nord sale

Still browsing and curating my list haha

However, I will say there’s a few things that I obsessed over last year that I’m passing on this year:

*Moonlight pajamas of any variety - I bought 2 pairs last year. After having both these and the Target branded ones (Stars Above beautifully soft), I’ll stick with the Target ones. Pretty much identical, wash and wear the same for me, and Target’s sets were about $15 cheaper.

*Adidas shoes - just not worth it. These are the leopard ones from last year…this happened after about 10 casual wears (wore to the office, maybe 2000 steps a day if I’m being generous about my activity lol). Toe is unraveling, side is worn. I returned my black pair after seeing this. I have ASICS from the 2014 NAS that are still going strong and have had a lot more wear, and they weren’t much more expensive than these!

Yes it’s a Nordstrom cc so I wonder if it’s on their end. What’s disappointing is all my other ccs will alert me when I have odd charges. I’m in the US so why should I have UK based expresspay or African accounts to pay? I always call to let them know when I’m traveling so charges aren’t declined, so it’s disappointing they didn’t mark these as suspicious and contact me.

I looked at the alert options and they only have them for number of charges/day, exceeds/below balance, amount of charge and some other options but these were not large amounts individually. My Costco purchases are easily $200+:

You can fool the alerts system: set the amount of charge to something silly, like $2.00. That way it will automatically alert you to every charge on your card. Annoying, but it keeps you from getting fraudulaent charges on your card. A Nordstrom CSR told me this trick after my card was scammed a couple of years ago. :mad:

I hear you on the Target jammies. I have the nightshirt from Target and it is exactly the same. I would only buy the Nordstrom ones now if they had colors that Target doesn't have. Target has had black & Navy for years, but their prints and colors have been bad for me. I'm going to get a set of the purple long and short moonlight pajamas in the sale and maybe a nightshirt since Target only has the one I already have.
