This year I’m going to try Sherway (it’s closer - wasn’t open last year at NAS time) but of the wishlist I sent the manager only 7 out of 30 items are available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1938181 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 00:18:36 +0000 Windchime 1938181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a terrific SA!

Burgundy print . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1938115 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 21:13:17 +0000 Kathie 1938115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>lisa P</b>- last year, it was the Hinge scarf that was a heavier silk. I didn't get it, because the print wasn't quite right for me, and I didn't want so many tassels, but somewhat regretted the decision. This year, I was thrilled to see that the Treasure &amp; Bond was a similar heavier silk, interesting pattern, and tassels just on the corners.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1938070 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 18:49:50 +0000 Anonymous 1938070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you went for the Le Pliage! It's a nice size--very practical and handle drop is perfect.</p> <p>Yah, I didn't see the suede Aquatalia sock booties at the Ottawa store, in any colour.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1938059 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 18:30:49 +0000 Toban 1938059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I got the navy fringe scarf last year and it’s my favorite. A lovely feel and drape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1938043 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 17:59:47 +0000 Elizabeth P 1938043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Go for it, <b>Lisa</b>!&nbsp; I'm not sure I can justify that LaPilage either, so I'm just not going to, LOL.&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Kerry</b>... Eaton Center.&nbsp; I have generally called the Ottawa store first just because it was the first, and the one I go to the most (annual meetings in Ottawa), but I find the selection there is getting less and less, so figured there was a better chance of finding actual items in the TO store. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks, <b>kkards</b>.<br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1938040 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 17:46:38 +0000 kerry 1938040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work! I shopped NAS this way through the Ottawa store two years ago. Which Toronto store did you go through? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1938038 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 17:41:59 +0000 Anonymous 1938038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh - this year's T&amp;B scarf is far nicer than last year's, which I too bought and wore a grand total of once. Anyone want it? &nbsp;Love the Le Pilage too, and I've coveted one for years but always found them too spendy for what I use it for. &nbsp;Great scores! &nbsp;</p> <p>Wait, what?? This is a silk scarf?? Gah - I want this. &nbsp;Of course it's nicer than last year's Lisa, you idiot. Mine is rayon or something equally yucky and fuzzy.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1938037 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 17:41:30 +0000 kkards 1938037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How wonderful to have eyes in store for you!

The SA said it was beautiful. I like how the tassels are just in the corner, so you don't get the bulk around the neck.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1938011 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 16:48:58 +0000 Elizabeth P 1938011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks everyone!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>That's right <b>Suz </b>:(</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thistle</b>, better than her card... she's now in my phone.&nbsp; I can't tell you how many times I think "I wonder if..." but not enough to call.&nbsp; Now I can flip her a text and know what I'm dealing with. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>thanks <b>DonnaF</b>...

And how interesting that the price was better on the Longchamp. Nice scarf and I like Joy’s scarf too. Here’s hoping the duties aren’t too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1937991 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 16:22:35 +0000 Anonymous 1937991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag is to die for!!!!!!!!!!!&nbsp; I have wanted one for a long time too.&nbsp; I could never rationalize full price. though.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>So happy for you.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-shes-off#post-1937987 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 16:17:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1937987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Well, I just discovered the best way to shop. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.</div><div><br /></div><div>Called the Toronto store to see if a few things I'm interested in are available in Canada. Most of the clothes/shoes are not, but she offered to go and take photos of anything that was close to what I was looking for (the blue Aquatalia boots) so I knew I was getting a good SA. By the time she texted me the photos, I'd remembered a couple of other things I was curious about, some on sale and some not. So I got the scoop on them via text. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>What a great way to shop... text someone a code and they come back with a yay or nay and a price. Then we agree on a time to talk, and I give her my info and it's done. I always found even getting time at home to make those phone calls difficult. Or rather, I always got distracted.</div><div><br /></div><div>I told her she'd be hearing from me in the future...<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, now winging it's way to me...</div><div>1. I had always felt sad at missing the fringe scarf last year, so think this is a good replacement.&nbsp; Thanks to <b>Kathie </b>for pointing it out!&nbsp; The SA said it was lovely, and wants one herself now :)</div><div>2. the Longchamps bag, a total splurge.&nbsp; Would never pay full price for it, but had started wanting one after reading rave reviews here last year (or was it the year before?)&nbsp; And believe it or not, the Canadian sale price is even better than the US one!</div><div>3. and the silver shawl, not on sale, but had put it in my basket when <b>Joy</b> posted it ages ago.</div><div><br /></div><div>And now to sit back and wait for the US sale to be opened up to me... At this point I'm interested in the EF sweater and Diana jeans.&nbsp; If the duties etc aren't too bad.<br /></div></p> <p> </p>
