These are the items that made "first cut" and that I am considering keeping, roughly in my order of favorites. I was able to shop the first day as Icon. I was able to snag everything I wanted but have sent a lot back, either because the quality wasn't quite there or I didn't *really* need it. I'm a pretty classic dresser so I tend to go for quality basics and with a few wild cards mixed in. Surprisingly, no shoes (except the hiking boots)! They seemed really repetitive this year. Happy to answer any questions!

La Ligne Sailor Stripe Sweater - got this in my normal size. Great drape, can be a summer/fall staple with both shorts and jeans. Already worn it.
Frank & Eileen Henley - they mean it when they call the color "Vintage White" as it's definitely a "dirty" white! I plan to use this as a T-shirt substitute because I love the neckline and the off-white color.
Coach Color Block Crossbody - love the color combination. It's a great "pop" while still remaining neutral
Timberland Waterproof Hiking Boot - super fun colors and I actually needed a hiking boot
Zella Luxe Pocket Sweatshirt - rich color, elevated, almost shiny (I returned the matching floral leggings)
Proenza Schouler Cut-Out Ribbed Cardigan - Planning to try with skirts and dressier pants. Probably the item I am most on the fence about but it keeps selling out so I may as well hang onto it until I'm sure
Vince Oversize Sweater Knit Blazer - bought/returned but just ordered it again, thinking maybe I returned it too quickly. Seems to be both "on trend" and cozy
Treasure & Bond Collarless Quilted Jacket - wild card. Easy throw on jacket that's different than what I have
Open Edit Relaxed Coat - beautiful color but wish it were more of a jacket -- I don't really need another coat

I also picked up a duplicate of the Vince leggings that I have and love and the Westman Atelier lip glosses. Overall I think this was a much less interesting NSale for me but I'm happier with the pieces I like, if that makes sense.
 
Here are some snaps of the expandable LC in pebble (light grey). I would’ve named this color “oyster”. Depending on the light it ranges from silvery to cement grey. I’m unsure whether to keep because I think the light color will show scuffs easily, but I remember admiring a woman’s expandable LC in a similar color while shopping prepandemic (hers did have a noticeable pen/dark mark in the nylon).

It’s a bummer the price went up on these but I don’t think the quality has declined. I compared this one to my 2020 orange and 2021 plum expandables and they feel the same to me. No difference in the thickness of the nylon or the feeling of the leather straps. Zippers are still YKK. I personally think that LC makes the LP line in China and finishes them in France anyway to earn the MIF tag, so the labeling means little to me. I would hope for the pricier lines (cuir LP, VF, Roseau) that MIF means MIF. I think some of the reviewers are prejudiced and think their bag is of inferior quality bc the tag says MIC.

I compared my 2021 MIF version to this year's and can't find any difference in quality either. I love the expanded color selections this year!
 
Sooo anyone want to buy this and give us
Full size run of this cashmere dress fits great! And I‘m not a dress girl. I am 5”3 and 150. Purchased the XS and LOVE it. It’s been sold out pretty much from the beginning.

Thank you!!! Im 5'10 and 150, I got the XXS, last one available! It feels weird ordering an XXS since I am most definitely not that, but I hope it ships! Ive been very happy with my nordstrom collection items .

If you have time, could you post photos? Id love to see!

Will try and get some shots tomorrow after work. :smile:
 
The two treasure & bond bomber jackets I ordered arrived today. On-line they look very similar but in person are very different. One is a soft leather with zippers on the sleeves and a faux fur collar. The other is more cropped and is sort of a washed black and lived in leather feel but thinner

Wait the faux collar comes off? I had no clue if that is the case.
 
After much ordering and trying on and returning I am probably only keeping a couple things. Waiting on a different size to arrive in the Vince pleated dress. Waiting for the black dress to arrive for the first time but not too hopeful after the reviews here. The lavender sweater and the Vince sweater coat I think are keepers. I got the green house in the plum color, had to order a different size, which arrived with no button to close it. Hoping to eventually get the green but if I can’t I will probably take the plum in to have them add a button. The rails camo tee sold out right away and I have been stalking for restocks but haven’t seen anything other than xs show up. Not sure the largest size would even fit anyway.

Its great that there a bunch of Bay Area people here.

The NAS is over on Sunday.
Sometimes in August after the NAS, they mark down the returns to 50% or sometimes even 60% off. Its just a onesy twosy thing.

Im going to stalk a few Rebecca Taylor items and a Veronica Beard dress. I like these two designers but I'm not willing to pay $300+ for a dress.
