Yes agree! Purchased it recently and had to return. Too snug and frankly not comfortable at all.
i donated mine recently. i just wasn't getting any wear out of them. in GA they were too hot for summer of course, okay for fall and winter but not really. here in SF where i live now and it is fall most of the time, i could probably wear them more but i wasn't reaching for them
 
Clare V. is having a sale right now. The tote is available in more colors than just navy. I wonder if Nordstrom price matches something that is about to go in their Anniversary Sale.
This also kinda validates my earlier post that these items are made for the sale, or they're items that they knew wouldn't sell well at full price. All these awkward patterns and odd colors are not like the sale years ago.
 
Reiss has a wrap coat (Felo) that looks reaaaaally similar to the NAS Elise coat, minus decorative straps on the sleeves. I prefer the patch pockets on the NAS version (phone won’t slip out) but the Reiss one is on sale and cheaper so I ordered it. Composition is the same (wool/poly). I recently ordered the Reiss Brooks coat in my usual size from Bloomingdale’s and it was generously cut so I sized down in the Felo. It’s my plan B in case the NAS coat is a bust.
 
Just as a general note about sneakers - I have both Golden Goose superstars and P448 Thea platform ones, and the P448 is MILES better comfort-wise. The footbed is SO soft and cushy on them! The Golden Goose have a harder footbed and my heel actually starts to hurt in them after awhile. So if you’re looking for fashion sneakers, give P448 a look. I know the sale has some, and the rack actually gets them fairly often.

I am happy to hear that since I have the P448's on my wish list. I am debating between the black low tops and high tops. Is there any difference in comfort or is it just a style preference? I know I tried a pair of low tops last year after the anniversary sale but had to return them because of sizing. I usually wear a size 9 in most shoes but the 39 were too snug. Plan on sizing up to the 40 this time.
 
I recall that when we were all nerding out last year, there was a helpful and particularly vigilant TPF comrade here who would post the total count of all Anniversary items in the preview… and we saw it steadily increase over time. Hopefully we will see new things coming this year too as the days go on!
One other thing that worked for me last year was to log on in the morning, click the women's clothing tab under the sale, then sort by newest.
 
I love the black high tops from P448 in the sale. I am ordering them. Hope they work for me.

That said I may or may not have ordered four items that popped up on sale that were on my wish list. A hoodie from Eileen Fisher, AG jeans, All Saints hoodie dress in Olive I think they have the black and blue in the NAS and an All Saints recycled cashmere sweater. I don’t have high hopes for that one. But I’ll try.
 
So some things that caught my eye…

Jewelry - I had a great experience with my MV purchase last year. I like the size of hoops, the larger bangle and the earrings are beautiful! Hoping to see in person before I purchase…MV is not always worth the price since it’s gold plated.

Also love the S&S hoop design, and Bony Levy is marketing that as a kids bracelet but I love the mix of gold. (Also go look at the Bony Levy man’s jewelry photos - it’s just a man without his blouse on modeling a bracelet. Sir, where is your blouse?? It’s a bracelet not a nipple ring LOL)

I usually don’t care for the handbags but I’m obsessed with this color and it’s the exact design of the pochette Métis, which I love for how much it fits and it’s easy/multiple uses. I am super interested in this and I find coach quality is good. Color will also satisfy my need for a colorful fendi mini peekaboo hah! This could be a great every day bag that provides some color from the usual black.

In terms of coats, I love this Boss coat color and that it’s lined (hate all the unlined coats in the NAS). The cropped blazer is very cute and it has an awesome lining (the video for this blazer is super helpful to get an idea for fit and style).

In terms of beauty, anyone try these Sturm products or familiar with the black tea body wash?

I also think this frame dress would be amazing for a summer wedding which alas I do not have to attend. Oh well.

In terms of kids, I have a few mini Boden items I’ll be buying, and a cute open edit jacket for my little girl.

Hopefully some of these things will work out…we shall see!
