I'm in that "well, I'm returning a lot, so I should order pop-backs" phase 
.
I love reading all of your favorites, and I'm realizing that last year was more of the Monica Vinader/Coach items whereas this year is more Zella/Nordstrom/Treasure & Bond-oriented--not at all intentional, just how items are working. Some favorites include these for my husband-- Johnny Collar Slub Jersey Polo (so soft and wish there could be women's versions!) and Tech Smart Piqué Polo (I bought several colors); Restore Soft Lite Relaxed Tee (as others have noted, super soft/I ordered in both colors); the Zella Getaway Relaxed High-Low Maxi Dress(again, another PF fav here!); and Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Slide Sandal in Ecru. I'm awaiting the Nike Fleece Crew Sweatshirt in Pinksicle; the Versa Stretch Slim Ankle Pants, which have controversial ratings, so I'm prepared to return
; and I'm about to price match a Michael Kors' watch (not part of NAS).
Also, I was due for a replacement of studs, and I've always liked the Nordstrom brand (plus, the price range makes me feel justified when I buy Bony Levy or MV items!), so I ordered these--Cubic Zirconia Earrings - 4ct.--at such a reasonable price. Still, when returning at the Rack today, I saw so many pairs on the spinners--granted, they do not include a box--for $20 less. I'm sure many of you are aware of this, but if you're down for the "boxless," you might consider this option
.
And, I don't want the sale ever to end because I miss you all too much!!! (Happy Friday eve to everyone!!)

I didn't buy anything from Monica Vinader this year either. I bought some items from her end of the year sale but skipped her summer sale thinking I would find something during the anniversary sale. They had some nice pieces, just nothing I wanted to add this time around. Hope you like the Zella Versa pants. I'm one of the ones who happened to like it. It's my first time purchasing Zella so I have nothing to compare it to but I wanted them for around the house or for quick errands. Length and fit were good for me and no quality issues. Also what a great deal on those earrings. Who needs a box? I throw them out afterward anyway.I'm in that "well, I'm returning a lot, so I should order pop-backs" phase

Those look great on you. I just stopped stalking them. I shopped Ambassador and ordered for me, my mom and my best friend at 12:01. The next morning my best friend texted me and said her niece who just had triplets wanted those sneakers in the white with the green trim. I hadn't even had coffee and grabbed my laptop to order but her size was gone. I kept a different size in my wishlist and kept checking back for two weeks. Never saw them again. Those seemed to be the hot ticket this year. Enjoy!The New Balance 327s arrived, and I love them! They’re super lightweight and comfy!

I'm so glad you like the pants--and now I'm more stoked to get them! I, too, purchased during MV's end of year sale but nothing recently in hopes of the sale--so if you have brown curly hair, you might be my doppelganger
. And, I'm with you re: the box 
!!Well I do have brown hair and I've always wanted it to be curly, so I'd say yes I am!I'm so glad you like the pants--and now I'm more stoked to get them!

Anyone havine issues with Osea lotion pumps? I cannot get mine to work and short of taking the entire thing apart I'm stumped!
Every NAS I receive a mystery item that I never ordered shipped from a store. This year it is https://www.nordstrom.com/s/lafayette-148-waldorf-straight-leg-ankle-pants/7447807. These ankle pants are on sale for $478.99 Now I have to go through every pant I ordered to figure out which $78.99 
pair of pants I am missing. Better budget extra time to do returns tomorrow at store because we all know how they struggle with any item that is not in your actual order history. (Remember the year they shipped Hydroflasks by the carton instead of singly. Sigh.)

I can't find who I was talking to about these pants but I got the black color yesterday and they are just as perfect as the brown color.
Still haven't decided on a favorite item, but I know the AllSaints denim jacket in Olive was not for me! Ordered four and received three (one canceled). The size I ordered the duplicate in case of a cancelation was the correct size, but the color just ended up being blah (like, too faded?) on me. Oh well. The slate blue Elora is still a keeper.
Speaking of the AllSaints Elora, I had to take a photo of it next to my old NAS BlankNYC pleather jacket and my NAS Dalby. Just to prove to myself (and my partner) that I don't own three of the same jacket. Okay, they ARE all pretty similar.
But one is cropped and bluish, one is pleather and black, and one is berry. He's still laughing about this. (I have the Caslon hooded black moto as well but am too lazy to dig it out.)
Definitely finished with this year's sale, but did manage to score a pop back of this French Connection dress I tried to talk myself out of on the first day. Gotta say: it's fun to try on a sweater dress freshly unpacked from a warm box on a 90-degree day! Reviews mentioned potential pilling, but I have a Gleener if that's ever an issue. Sleeves are a bit long, but you can scrunch them up. Probably keeping this dress because I love the teal. Hard to capture the color in a dimly-lit hallway mirror photo — it's much nicer in person!
Keep the posts comin'! Love reading about everyone's purchases.

I almost bought that dress, but ultimately talked myself out of it. I have enough sweater dresses.

These are a few of my most loved items from the sale! No particular order & not all inclusive
Don't know how much help this is but I checked the Osea website and saw there are close to 400 reviews for the lotion. I scanned the first page and a number of them mentioned issues with the pumps not working. Maybe if you read further you'll find one that offers a solution? Their website also had a live chat option if no one answers your question here.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
