I posted a list of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale standouts earlier this week. After receiving intel from my clients and our forum members who are sharing their winners along the way, here’s another batch of items that stand out from the rest. We’ve also opened up the NAS section of the forum where the YLF community discusses their thoughts about NAS items in great detail. They often show photos of themselves wearing the items, and share their fab and not-so-fab experiences.
Please check colour combinations and size options because for practical reasons I am showing the Find in straight sizes and colour options. Read the reviews and feel free to ask questions along the way. Do share your own winners in the comments too.
- Akris Punto Partwork Stripe Tunic Blouse: If you love big white shirts and gorgeous fabrics, try this one. It's beautifully luxe, refined, and oversized in a delicate way. Great for hot and mild weather. It's not opaque.
- Ecco Soft Classic Bootie: My clients inform me that these are more comfy than the Ecco hi-tops that look similar from last year. They work on a variety of foot shapes, and can accommodate an orthotic. Comes in three more colours.
- Gentle Souls By Kenneth Cole Gentle Souls Signature Gianna Wedge Sandal: A supportive and comfortable sandal that works well on higher arches, and comes in two solids.
- Blondo Sydney Waterproof Bootie: Blondos tend to run short when you have long toes, so you might need to size up half a size for them to fit. Fits an orthotic. Comfy, weatherproof, and comes in black and brown.
- Aquatalia Weatherproof Block Heel Bootie: These are weatherproof and comfortable if you can manage the heel height. Wider feet might need to size up half a size. Nice grippy heel, fun square toe, and six neutrals to choose from.
- Linea Paolo Trinity Boot: A NON-BLACK stompy combat boot with a refined edge. The laces allow for a more forgiving fit. Soft, comfy and a little different. Comes in black.
- Zella Restore Soft Pocket Jogger Pants: Easy soft joggers for very casual settings, and staying at home. Might run a size big.
- Zella Studio Lite High Waist Print 7/8 Leggings: These high-waist leggings stay put when you work out and are different to the solid black norm. Low contrast and flattering. Great with a black top. Might need to size down.
- Topshop Cable Stitch Crop Sweater: Fun little cropped pullover to wear with higher rises, and looks good with wide crops. Best on a smaller bust. I do not know if it will easily pill.
- RAILS Hunter Plaid Shirt: Super soft, comfy, and feels like pyjamas. Very drapey and not like the usual flannel shirt. Comes in four plaids. Works quite well on a larger bust because of the drape of the fabric. Not stiff.
- Rag & Bone Nina High Waist Ankle Cigarette Jeans: These have worked well on a curvier petite. Good on a straighter figure too.
- NYDJ Marilyn Straight Leg Jeans: These have worked well on BOTH a curvier and straighter figure. Not calf-sucking. Streamlined, comfy, and a good wardrobe essential. Might need to size down.
- Nike Sportswear Knit Palazzo Pants: A more dramatic pair of sweatpants, and best on Team Tall. They come in two more neutrals and have an oversized cropped sweatshirt to match.
- CO Pleated Waist Shirt: An avant-garde piece that runs a little small, although it looks oversized. You can add a belt if you like. It's gathered on the waist which defines the waist, yet camouflages the midsection. It can work on a larger bust with the top buttons undone. DRAMATIC.
- PJ Salvage Animal Instinct Pajamas: Cute and comfy pyjamas that come in a lighter pattern.
- Cole Haan GrandPro Spectator 2.0 Genuine Calf Hair Slip-On: Bold and quite comfortable slip-on sneakers that fit a variety of foot shapes. They are not super soft and cushioning, but are better after adding soft insoles. The back comes up quite high which some find comfy, but cause blisters for others.
- Gibson Notch Collar Cotton Blend Blazer: A comfy KNITTED jacket that feels like a cardigan. It is not crisp and dressy, but rather relaxed and casual, which might be just your cup of tea. Comes in many colours.
- Herschel Supply Co. Little America Offset Backpack: A handy backpack with laptop compartment and padded back panel for extra comfort. It's quite big.
- Eileen Fisher High Collar Coat: An easy coat to top most outfits because of its fluid fit, easy single-breast closure, and versatile length. Runs big and is fab for layering. Works on a range of body types.
- Halogen Tie Neck Shirt: A romantic white shirt with a gorgeous shaped sleeve. A little more fun than the usual white button-down shirt, and might run a little big.
- Zella High Waist Studio Pocket 7/8 Leggings: These have a small side pocket that comes in handy when you need to stash away stuff while working out. Might run a size big.
- Adidas Stan Smith Sneaker: I have many clients in these because they are iconic, comfortable, and versatile. Run large and wide.
- Zella Endurance Performance Pants: Zella gives Athleta a run for their money with these Athleisure pants that fit a variety of body types because they mould to your shape. Fun side ruching that makes them better than basic. Alas, they only come in black.
- Zella Amazing Crewneck Sweatshirt: Fab sweatshirt with easy side entry pockets and fun side vents. Flattering, comfy, runs big, and comes in a few more colours. Excellent on Team Tall.
- PAIGE Manhattan Bootcut Jeans: A basic pair of streamlined bootcuts that aren't too high in the rise. The even wash is streamlining. Works on a straighter and curvier figure, but might need waist alteration on a narrow waist or swayback.
- Adidas Swift Run Sneaker: A repeat stretch mesh sneaker that moulds to the shape of most feet. VERY comfy.
- TOMMY JOHN Jogger Pants: Comfy and cosy lounge pants fabness.
- AllSaints Gina Drape Jacket: A KNITTED jacket that functions like a soft and unstructured cardigan with great side entry pockets. The neckline is unique and creates a flattering effect on the bust. Comes in grey.
- KUT from the Kloth Kelsey High Waist Raw Hem Kick Flare Jeans: KUT jeans tend to work well on curvier and straighter body types, and usually run a size big. These look similar to a style they had last year that looked amazing on my size US16 client.
- UGG Karoline Fleece Robe: Best cosy bathrobe at the NAS, and comes in solids.
- Blondo Camila Waterproof Bootie: Weatherproof, well-made, and feels very substantial on the foot. Wider feet might need to size up half a size.
- Tumi Rivas Nylon Backpack: A beautifully made, classic, robust, and streamlined backpack with LOTS of handy compartments. Comes in toffee. Quite big.
- Kendra Scott Danielle Hoop Earrings: Easy and different hoop earrings that come in gold.
- Madewell Disc Chain Necklace: Very different to wearing a string of pearls, but somehow similar but in a much more casual way. Comes in gold.
- J.Crew Leopard Bomber Sweater Jacket: A comfy and forgiving knitted bomber for Team Earth Tones that tends to work best on those who can fill it out in the shoulders and/or bust. Great on a shorter neck and apple-shaped body type too.
- Dr. Scholl's Abbot Slip-On Sneaker: Very comfortable, easy and playful platform sneakers, and the mauve is unique. Not good on narrow feet. Four colours.
- UGG Elisa Genuine Shearling Bootie: Comfy, easy, WARM, well-made, soft, and works on a range of foot shapes. Comes in grey and black.
- Anna Beck Reversible Drop Collar Necklace: A dainty and interesting necklace for Team Mixed Metal.
- Lafayette 148 New York Grady Removable Dickey Jacket: A repeat style stretchy and casual blazer with removable dickey. I've seen it worn over leggings, jeans, chinos, a pencil skirt, and dressy pants. Versatile, comfy, and a little avant-garde. Comes in burgundy. A straight cut, yet moulds to a curvy body.
- Zella Restore Soft Pocket Leggings: Some of my clients like to wear leggings with BIG pockets and these are fab.
- Zella Live In High Waist Leggings: I have four pairs of these for yoga practice and they are the best because the high waist makes them stay put. Might need to size down. Comes in neutrals.
- Sub_Urban Riot Indoorsy Washed Graphic T-Shirt: For those who are NOT outdoorsy. Fun, soft, and would be mine in another colour. I'd wear it as loungewear.
- Madewell The Transport Stripe Embroidered Zip Top Crossbody Tote: A well-made and good size easy tote that is versatile AND has a zipper closure. Can fit tablets and a smaller laptop too. Comes in animal print.
- Veronica Beard Renzo Crop Pants: Beautifully tailored, well made, and very substantial fabric. VERSATILE and comfy. Dress them up or down. Works well on curvier and straighter body types. Might need to size up. If they weren't black, they would be mine. I'd wear them with my hi-top sneakers.
