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. :shocked: 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!

i might have to buy a gleener! I take it you like it? I’m always hoping to find something better— I could spend my whole life picking pills and fuzz off my sweaters.
 
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.

That was me.

I got the size down in the W&W coffee and the VC black today. I had compared two sizes of the W&W in store and there wasn’t a lot of difference. There is a HUGE difference between the two sizes in the VC, so much so that I wonder of one of the ones I got was labeled wrong! I am probably going to wear the smaller size plaid pants first and depending on how they stretch will decide which black pair to keep. Probably the W&W because of the stretch but I do think the VC look a little more polished. Pleasantly surprised these are a win for me as it is SO hard for me to find pants, but at the same time not surprised bc the W&W bootcut jeans fit me better than any other jeans I’ve ever owned. (Unfortunately they do need to be replaced often as the material is heavy on the synthetic and light on the cotton and they wear out quickly.)
 
My GWP size shipped and I was so excited… and then the actual purchase (the 5.0 oz bottle) just got canceled! :shocked:
That’s crazy - at least you still get the free bottle! Mine did end up shipping, I’m so glad I got it this year.

I just snagged an XS Vince Coatigan, and I’m sure it will cancel. It hasn’t been in stock in that size almost the whole sale. But we shall see!
 
I'm in that "well, I'm returning a lot, so I should order pop-backs" phase :P .

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:winkiss:; 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 :smile:.

And, I don't want the sale ever to end because I miss you all too much!!! (Happy Friday eve to everyone!!)

A few years ago, I purchased the Nordstrom version of these earrings. Then, as I was doing returns at the Rack, I saw they had their own for much cheaper! There were slight differences, but I was okay with them. So I ended up getting the Rack ones and returning the Nordstrom ones. I like the boxes but who am I kidding, I don't even use them.

It is very hard for me to find pants, as well. I usually don't even bother trying anymore and just wear skirts and dresses year round because I live in SoCal. I only ordered because there were such great reviews and I'm just so surprised about how well they fit me. I might get the VC, too, if I catch them in stock in my size.
 
Anyone havine issues with Osea lotion pumps? I cannot get mine to work and short of taking the entire thing apart I'm stumped!
Yes! That happened to me and it drove me bananas. I wrote to them and they sent me an entire new bottle (I had purchased through Credo and they contacted osea). That pump got stuck too. It was just too thick and made a hole down the middle of the balm with no suction. I gave up and dumped several tablespoons of osea body oil in there and shook it and then it worked, but I had the oil on hand already. Assuming you don’t, I would use some sort of other neutral body oil that is liquid at room temperature (like argan or something) and that should do the trick. The balm is too thick for that pump. You can put it in some warm water to get it a bit more liquidy before adding the other oil if it is too thick to shake. (And write to them first so that they send you a new bottle!!)

You could also just put it in a small mason jar or something and use your hands like body butter.

And yea I realize that we should not have to do this!! I love the balm but this kind of engineering issue makes me nuts!!
