That was one I was pretty disappointed in, I always get some great pieces from them, so odd they aren't a part of it this year

Same, I was looking through their full price stuff and it's not the same as in years before, they always had a good selection of studs and necklaces but it seems more limited now.
Probably phasing out, they seem to do that. I bought a lot more in the heydays of Anna Beck (the larger gemstone pieces), Melinda Maria, even going back to Lois Hill, Lori Bonn, Lori Lori, Tres Jolie, Mars and Valentine, Alexis Bittar. I never really got into Gorjana although I remember when it was the hot brand they pushed for the sale. Maybe you can find similar pieces from Argento Vivo or Kendra Scott or Baublebar? There's also the house brand Open Edit.
I’m sure part of it is the name, but MV does use vermeil (thicker gold over sterling), NOT gold plating, which is just a thin layer chemically applied to a cheaper metal underneath.
Gold plate wears off and vermeil shouldn’t. (It never has for me across several brands). MV and Pamela card and other high end vermeil makers generally have the thickest layer of gold possible and are excellent quality compared to a gold plate costume jewelry item. They are usually much more expensive because if the sterling and thicker layer of gold (eg, I love Kendra Scott but her stuff is plated and hence much cheaper).
They actually have a helpful explanation right on MV’s website.
Gold Vermeil vs Gold Plated: What's the Difference?
These 2 types of gold jewellery have subtle differences that make a big difference. From thickness, to durability, to quality. Choose your next metal now...

Yeah never really a Kendra Scott fan, I live in the south and way too many people wear it so it's overkill for me others haven't really hit the mark either. I liked how Gorjana had a classic touch but a bit of an edge to it at times. That's more my style. Thanks for the suggestion though!

The free samples with beauty purchases have been gone from the site since before Christmas. They alway used to have such good ones!
No I mean these: https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/be...Home/Beauty/Gifts with Purchase&origin=topnav
The samples are gone due to staffing issues, they warehouse couldn't keep orders going and have this service it was too tedious to pick out small samples with each order.
Does anyone know how the instore sale works? Can we buy online to pick up in store the same day Or do we have to work with someone in store to bring home the stuff the same day? I skipped the sale the past two years, so trying to figure out best strategy to get stuff sooner rather than later.
I ditto this whole comment. Gorjana just hit the spot for me, I always bought one or two things during the sale and it's the first thing I would look for when at the Rack.
Mysistermadmebuyit has a few slides on her instastory regarding the changes made to influencer commissions. It was information I didn't know. Sounds like Nordstrom realized they had a problem there. I like them (the sisters) because the are very honest and only recommend things they know to be good quality or won't find cheaper later (unlike many others).
I think they added a new color way in the Nike React Phantom women's shoes. They had an all-white color and now they have a black/white/orange pair. I got the black and white last year, and I was kicking myself for not keeping them. Those were on my radar, so I doubt I missed them the first time through.
The Exercise Dress has arrived online.... I like the pink
I found more than I initially thought I would. I'm hoping I've selected the proper sizes but I'm following size guides and reviews.
I really kept in mind all the great advice from everyone on this thread. I really wanted comfortable shoes and clothes this time around and I guess a good cup of coffee while I'm wearing them. I have additional items I'm ordering but they are pretty much necessities. Looking forward to seeing all the icons feedback tomorrow. I can always be persuaded to add more!
I Hope I did this right ......
