I love it! Will be stalking at the store tomorrow... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184217 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:00:09 +0000 RoseandJoan 184217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying not to go off every single one of you NAS scoring fabbers, it's a good job I look okay in green </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184214 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 18:53:33 +0000 Michelle 184214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing loot you all scored, ladies! I'm with Mac and dying of envy over here. Perhaps next year we Toronto gals should plan an expedition to the NYC area, hook up with those local ladies and make Nordy's wonder what hit it? :)<br /> I'm also suffering from tunic envy! If they have some good tunics in my size I intend to stock up. I'm in love with the style and am dying to boost my inventory from it's current lame one summer, one winter status. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184153 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:01:52 +0000 MNsara 184153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>san - I did try on the Elie Tahari leather jacket. It was lovely - a very different style - but a poor fit for me. </p> <p>I tried an M and it seemed way too big, but have no idea now much smaller the Small would actually be. Also, the way it closes is different -- it has a short zipper. So when closed, the bottom points/flaps are still loose (does that make sense?). Given it was too large AND the bottom flaps don't get zipped in, it didn't have a flattering look on me at all. But, the leather, color (charcoalish), construction, etc. were great and if it fit properly it would be wonderful!</p> <p>P.S. In the online pic, the short zip you see is NOT a pocket -- it is half of the jacket's closure zipper. It reminds me of a one-button blazer, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184148 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 16:39:39 +0000 Kristen 184148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We only saw the black one, but I have to swing through the mall tonight (need a suit for a last-minute bigwig thing on Saturday, EEEEEE!) and I am thinking about stopping over there after I hit Macys and seeing how it looks on me. I will check out the other colors for sure and will let you guys know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184132 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 16:19:30 +0000 Sarah 184132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you see the lavendar shade in person? Is it too juvenile do you think? I was considering pairing it with my black skinny jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184124 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 16:11:30 +0000 Laura 184124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen and Sarah, you need to order this so we can be tunic twins with Angie ... or does that make us quadruplets ... Honestly I am already considering duplicating! It's really hard to find knitted tunics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184083 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:41:13 +0000 Sarah 184083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sandy, the cashmere sweater jacket looks great with dresses (belted or not), jeans and boots, pencil skirts and silk tops, etc. I was surprised how versatile it is. It will be great for the office, almost like having a blanket. ;)<br /> I love the riding jacket you got. I can't wait to see it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184078 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:37:38 +0000 Sarah 184078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man! I saw that tunic in the catalog and wanted to try it, but my store didn't have it. I may just have to order it tomorrow. Eek. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184076 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:34:52 +0000 Kristen 184076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang. I should have made you try that on while we were there; now I want one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184065 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:16:54 +0000 Laura 184065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Took a quick pic of the tunic. It would look good with a lace cami peaking out, don't you think, and maybe some long necklaces?</p> <p><a href="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/Laura65__2008/July152010001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....010001.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/Laura65__2008/July152010002.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....010002.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip/page/2#post-184021 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:54:16 +0000 Sparky 184021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, I saw the Trouve jacket. The leather is so soft and buttery! Just gorgeous. And the color makes me swoon. I might have tried it on but for the studs ~ I am just not a zipper and stud gal. Laura posted above (the first post) about trying it on in person ~ easy to miss with all the neat info in this thread.</p> <p>Brianna, now I'll need to go check Overstock to see the coat you got. I do love the MK one ~ my mom couldn't believe how well it fit. Coats are so often too long in the sleeve for me and it's hard to find coats that fit me well across the shoulder blades ~ often too much fabric bunching up there. This coat does the trick, and in New England the removable liner is most handy.</p> <p>Laura, Kristen and Sarah, you all selected some lovely items! I can't wait to see them on you.</p> <p>Patience, I also got some bras and undies too. As luck would have it, the two bras that fit me best during my fitting also turned out to be in the NAS sale. Woo hoo! Sounds like you got many practical things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-184020 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:47:44 +0000 Laura 184020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, San, that's the sweater - on page 21a of the online catalog. Funny how I didn't even notice it in the catalog!</p> <p>I sized up to a M so it was longer, and can pull it down to mid-thigh length over skinny jeans or leggings. Everyone should get one! Sweater enabler here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183953 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 05:50:25 +0000 Anonymous 183953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few of the things I preselected last week came by UPS today!<br /> I got a Mars and Valentine bracelet, pg 32 in the online book, plus a necklace to go with it. I also got a Marc Jacobs handbag that isn't in the book at all.<br /> One item I am still waiting for is the Guess Riding jacket on pg 15.</p> <p>I'm curious about the Elie Tahari leather jacket on pg 16. It comes in honey wheat and graphite grey. I hope we hear something about the fit and colors, and the quality, if someoine happens to look into that jacket.<br /> Another leather jacket I like is the blue/grey studded Trouve' leather jacket on pg 11. I mostly really like the color. I hope if anyone sees it in person we can hear what you think.</p> <p>Sarah, I adore the Autumn Cashmere sweater you ordered. It looks so cozy. Just think how pretty it would be belted over a dress. I didn't see that when I was at the presale.</p> <p>Laura and Angie, is the cowlneck you are refferring to the one on pg 21a, in the online book?</p> <p>Sparky yopu got some beautiful things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183900 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 04:02:01 +0000 Patience 183900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so exciting! Kristen and Laura, it sounds like you got some great things. Laura, I will be enjoying those Jane boots on you. I can't wait to see pictures. Angie, what is chin digging?</p> <p>Ana and I hit the presale last Sat. and had a great time. Ana liked a few of the rings and is debating on which one to take home. I selected an Elie Tahari sheath, a waistcoat with scarf detail and Rich and Skinny silk cropped pants. Also underwear, bras, and running shorts. No shoes! (gasp!) Did I miss anything I should have tried? I'm proud of myself that everything is warm weather friendly. And I will be posting pics when I can. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to pick everything up tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183887 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:40:55 +0000 April 183887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread was a lot of fun to read! I haven't done the whole pre-sale thing but am looking forward to getting online bright and early Friday morning and seeing what's what. Sarah, you have two of the things I was eyeing from the catalogue: that zipper belt and the "bronzed olive" skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183866 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:09:26 +0000 Ariadne 183866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun to read all the reports! I am DYING here hearing about the Frye and SW OTK boots. I wonder if I can convince my husband I should try a pair. I know he likes the style (and I adore it)... they're just so pricey still. Hmmm. </p> <p>I'm looking forward to seeing this cowl neck tunic when the sale goes online. Sounds like something I'd like.</p> <p>Sparky, that MK trench you got looks just like one I just ordered from Overstock.com, minus the lining. Looks very practical and nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183849 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:52:30 +0000 Tanya 183849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, sounds like such fun! Can't wait for the photos. That cowl neck tunic sounds really tempting, must check it out in person... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183838 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:37:22 +0000 Mellllls 183838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO glad you guys had fun! Thank for the tip about the red wool coat. That is what I am looking for </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183823 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:25:44 +0000 Sparky 183823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fi, it's still preselection, but as of yesterday people can start taking items home.</p> <p>I went back today to finish a bra fitting and look at the NAS clothes ~ I had my mom egging me on. I got a lot more than I had planned, but all are items that are on my wish list, so at least no impulsive buys. </p> <p>~ SW OTK boots<br /> ~ Frye Jane cuffed boots in brown<br /> ~ Hinge cropped tween jacket in red (p. 13)<br /> ~ OTK socks to go with the Fryes<br /> ~ Joie silk blouse<br /> ~ Halogen poplin shirt in white (in petite, yahoo!)<br /> ~ Bellatrix silk blouse (p. 23)<br /> ~ Michael by Michael Kors trench coat in black, p. 15d ~ this one fits me perfectly. Has a warm liner too!<br /> ~ Calvin Klein leather jacket in brown<br /> ~ Cole Hahn crossbody bag in black snake ~ need to decide if this is a good size for me, but I've been looking for a crossbody bag for a while<br /> ~ Amber Sun 3/4 sleeve cardigan in gray p. 36</p> <p>I tried on the Calvin Klein pleated neck ponte knit dress page 7a). Cute but too short! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183807 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 01:45:14 +0000 Mac 183807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sick with envy of you Americans! No Nordies in Canada *grumble* *gripe* *snarl* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183772 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 01:05:53 +0000 Laura 183772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The watches were gorgeous!</p> <p>I walked out with the tunic and leggings. Boots are being shipped - and it was only thanks to Kristen that I was able to order them. Our saleswoman in Point of View told me that my size in the boots was sold out nationwide. But Kristen had an in with a salesman in the shoe dept and we marched right down to shoes and he found me a pair somewhere. Magic, huh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183762 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 00:59:34 +0000 Angie 183762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo! Can't wait to see the new loot on! My loot is ready to be picked up but I haven't be able to get to a store yet. </p> <p>Carol, I'll pop some watches on my top picks list too :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183669 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:15:30 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 183669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmph...jealous and I know that Julie and Inge feel the same ;)</p> <p>So is this still the pre-selection thing or did you actually get the clothing to take home? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183658 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:48:28 +0000 Rosie 183658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you had a blast!!!! And lots of loot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183654 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:37:21 +0000 Laura 183654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes check it out Sarah, the tunic sweater is definitely your style. I'm thinking of getting another color and I haven't even worn it yet! It's $44. And you should probably check out the booties that Kristen bought since you share the same taste in shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183564 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:11:27 +0000 Sarah 183564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I didn't see this cowl neck sweater. I will have to check it out on Friday! I can't wait to see everyone's goodies. What a fun time this is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183560 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:08:23 +0000 Laura 183560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Angie &amp; I are cowlneck twins! It also comes in grey, pink and purple if anyone is interested. For Frye boots outfits, I was thinking the Halogen cowlneck (it hits at midthigh) plus skinnies and the boots. Now I only have two wait two months until the weather cools down </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183552 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:01:08 +0000 Lisa 183552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see some outfit photos with the Frye boots since I already have these. Outfit ideas....yes! I did not participate in the pre-season sale, so I am anxiously awaiting Fri after work to stop by Nordie's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-laura-nas-trip#post-183550 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:58:56 +0000 Kristen 183550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the write-up, Laura! I had a blast, as we always do together. :)</p> <p>The taupe booties I got were the Classiques Entier -- with the sweetest thin bow on the side! In the catalog the girl is wearing them with grey tights and a purple-gray outfit, and you know I have all of those items already (not the exact ones, but I can recreate it my own way). </p> <p>I also stocked up on Oroblu sable fishnets (got 3, may get a few more to get me through to next spring) and I finally got a nice pair of leggings instead of my usual Vera Wang Kohls ones. LOL! Oh, and a cool studded teal suede belt; how edgy of me! :)</p> <p>I really liked a number of the tweed jackets, and there was a plummy suit that was just divine, but I'm holding off on any of those purchases until after I lose some weight. If they are still around for the post-season sales hopefully I can scoop them up then. (I remember seeing a lot of had-to-have clothing items last year popping up at Rack and on sale later. I'm going to try patience this year. Let's see if it works!) </p>
