That was the bakery parking lot like at 2 in the morning. </p> <p>Puffy saga continues. Went to two Nordies.

And what Inge suggests is your best bet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek/page/2#post-1706306 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 11:16:33 +0000 Inge 1706306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you had to work on your day off.I vote order that puffer online, Rachy. Nordstrom returns are easy right?</p> <p>Lilypup is the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek/page/2#post-1706287 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 10:25:25 +0000 jenanded 1706287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lilypup is cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1706278 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 09:49:47 +0000 Suz 1706278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What? No new puffer? Lilypup may not be happy about that.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1706272 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 08:40:12 +0000 rachylou 1706272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, now I'm wimping out. Because I'm at work now on my day off in the middle of the night.</p> <p>Here is Lilypup in the parking lot on our coffee break...making squidgy face... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1706241 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 04:06:46 +0000 Amy 1706241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, I live 10 minutes from one Nordstroms and still do all my shopping online. I'm impressed you would go to such lengths </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1706231 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 03:16:12 +0000 Jaime 1706231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you still procrastinating?

Well, the Bernardo puffy isn't available at a store within a 100 miles! I don't know if I want to order online. I hate that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1705898 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 04:00:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1705898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote civilized, if it has a decent selection, too. I'd want to go to the store that typically has the best selection of what <i>I </i>wanted, regardless of whether it's the largest or most well-stocked generally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1705893 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 03:31:57 +0000 rachylou 1705893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh... I'm leaning toward the easy way out again and going to Walnut Creek. I do find it the most civilised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1705732 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 19:44:30 +0000 Greyscale 1705732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SF downtown is pretty picked over. I was actually considering going to Walnut Creek or Stanford this weekend - there's a non-NAS jacket that caught my eye. Valley Fair would be best but I don't want to drive all the way there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1705117 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 18:42:03 +0000 JAileen 1705117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My brother said the owners of the shopping center required the stores to be dog friendly.</p> <p>Mr Skunky (not his real name) was a very naughty dog at Home Depot a few weeks ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1705108 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 18:35:11 +0000 rachylou 1705108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm surprised Palo Alto is so dog friendly. I lived down there for ages, my cousins are there...to be honest, I see it as an uptight town. Lol. But, I'm from the East Bay. The whole world is uptight in comparison. Haha!</p> <p>Lilypup is a shopper. She's very good. She also has a stroller. I worry more about people stepping on her than her doing anything unseemly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1705103 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 18:31:03 +0000 JAileen 1705103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My brother lives close by. A few years ago we were visiting with our Jack Russell. My brother insisted we take the dog there. I couldn't believe it. Here, dogs are banned from most stores except hardware stores and nurseries. Anyway, we were welcomed into every store except the restaurants and other food related places. Several of the stores had bowls of water and treats available.</p> <p>ETA: Now that I have two terrierists, I wouldn't dream of taking them. But you have a good dog, don't you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1705089 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 18:14:38 +0000 rachylou 1705089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh another offer of a ride! You are so nice KL! You and MsMaven!</p> <p>I'm still hemming and hawing. Going by the web, Walnut Creek seems to have improved their designer offerings, not that this has anything to do with the sale. I have to checkout Stoneridge and see what's available. I might get crazy and go to two - one on Monday and another on Thursday.</p> <p>I've heard Stanford is pup friendly. But is it really? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1705072 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 17:36:04 +0000 Staysfit 1705072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa, I just experienced the crazy traffic in the Bay Area! I have no idea how everyone copes with it on a regular basis, I think it's worse than dealing with snow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1705026 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 16:27:45 +0000 Momo 1705026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am excited for your trek!

I just get that impression somehow. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Enjoy your trek! Hope you find stuff that makes it all worthwhile.

I live 5 minutes away from the Stanford store and have just been ordering online, returning there. They are very low on small sizes, FYI. I can't comment on VF vs. SF downtown.</p> <p>Stanford Shopping Center is walkable from the Palo Alto Caltrain. The route is kinda weird though (small stretch of no sidewalk on Alma St plus a pedestrian-and-bike-only crosswalk). But If you're ever in the Stanford area, give me a holler! I'm also 5 minutes from the Caltrain station, so I'm happy to give you a ride. Or grab a meal in downtown PA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1704826 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 06:16:20 +0000 Cerinda 1704826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, you're one brave woman. &nbsp;I'm resisting taking just a single bus from my corner to downtown with my returns, and it's not <u>near&nbsp;</u>100 here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1704767 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 03:04:57 +0000 rachylou 1704767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is really sweet, Ms Maven! </p> <p>Ack, tho! It's Garlic Festival already? I was thinking I'd go during the week, wherever I went, because weekend crowds in store add a whole other dimension of horror. Traffic, tho, is just always nightmarish all day, every day. I don't want to decimate my shopping time! Lol. Decisions, decisions.</p> <p>...I should checkout NAS by store on the web. I want to see the Bernado puffy if I can... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1704697 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 01:17:25 +0000 crazyone 1704697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so kind of MsMaven! &nbsp;</p> <p>I made the trek last weekend, though mine was only about an hour--it involved two buses but was actually fairly straightforward. &nbsp;I had never done this before, so I understand the FOMO feeling--I had it too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1704659 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 00:22:33 +0000 MsMaven 1704659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traffic on weekdays is horrendous lately. This weekend is the Garlic Festival--I'm not sure how far north the traffic backs up. Then there is the beach traffic and the Antiques Fair at Moss Landing, but that shouldn't affect the VF area too much. We try to stay home or local on summer weekends.&nbsp;</p> <p>Last week I went to Stanford and VF. I had already made an online order. I wanted to check out a few items in person. I'm not too happy with the Stanford store right now. They seem to have a lot more of the higher priced items, but that may mean that it is more spread out. I found nothing there.&nbsp;</p> <p>A few days later I went to VF--try to get there late morning so I can leave earlier in the afternoon on commuter days. This store seemed to have a lot more of the sales stuff. I did find most of the items I had wanted to check out and I bought a Paige sweater that wasn't on my list. I came home and ordered more stuff online.</p> <p>You'd have to take a bus for the last lap to VF. No trains go near-by. Or Stanford either. And it's been close to 100° the last few days and the air is smokey from the Monterey fire.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you do come to San Jose, let me know. I could pick you up at the train station and take you to VF and then give you a ride back to the train. I'm thinking Cal Train. The Light Rail goes to Campbell. Geez, what a mess.&nbsp;<br />Don't want to discourage you, but if you want to do VF, maybe I can make it easier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1704649 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 23:57:23 +0000 marianna 1704649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Getting to Valley Fair via public transit sounds awful.

So I get it.&nbsp;</p> <p>But this trip is sounding fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fomo---planning-the-trek#post-1704629 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 23:03:01 +0000 Kristin SF 1704629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San Jose. Make a day of it. </p> <p>Snag a spot at Din Tai Fung, if you're lucky! (So much hype. I heard it's not as good as LA, but it will be fun to try. We finally have a reservation for end of August.)</p> <p>Then cruise through Santana Row on your way out and experience a little bit of high summer. </p> <p>Happy hunting! </p>
