Ugh, yes, the wait will be long, I guess!</p> <p>I dithered on the colour of the Halogen tunic - thinking about black and pink too. Will I be sorry I didn't order another? Probably. It looks just about perfect for my casual life and teaching kindergarten. That one had some hefty duty, though, so I think that's what deterred me. </p> <p>I like how you pretend checkout (like I do) to check the duty of items! I need to know what I'm really paying for each item (not the order as a whole) to decide if the value is there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524838 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 11:47:57 +0000 Elizabeth P 1524838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choices Kerry.&nbsp; We are going to be twins on a few items... I also ordered the MK trench in cobalt.&nbsp; I can't tell you how excited I am to have a waterproof trench!&nbsp; (and that was duty free, which I was very happy to discover).&nbsp; I feel I'm the only one who thinks being waterproof is an important feature... I guess I'm someone unlikely to wear that kind of a coat unless it's raining so I'm always slugging back and forth to work in my MEC goretex.&nbsp; Like today :).&nbsp; I also have a red columbia coat with a liner, and know how versatile that extra layer can be... esp for April and November.&nbsp; But it's a bit geary as well.</p> <p>Anyway, I also got the Halogen tunic, in both black and pink.&nbsp; I'll be interested to see how the KK top compares, so please let us know!</p> <p>And now to wait, patiently.&nbsp; I ordered on Friday, and it hasn't shipped yet, so will be a couple of weeks.&nbsp; Which is fine, although I did order a tee I wouldn't mind having before summer is over :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524735 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 04:15:44 +0000 Robin 1524735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, unlike Target, Nordstrum isn't opening stores all across the country and at the same time.</p> <p>Oh, and I'm glad my colour choices on the KK and halogen tops were helpful to you. :)</p> <p>Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524719 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 03:34:33 +0000 kerry 1524719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's right but of course the one closest to me (Sherway Gardens) is the last :(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524709 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 03:19:19 +0000 Sveta 1524709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like they plan to open 3 (!) in Toronto in the next 2 years!<br />I wish they open one in London too but it is too much to hope... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524705 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 03:15:37 +0000 kerry 1524705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely!

I wanted to wait for Nordstrom to show up in Toronto next year for an NAS haul but I'm impatient!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524689 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:51:42 +0000 kerry 1524689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like you, Robin, I got black in the Karen Kane top and cobalt in the Halogen tunic. I agreed with you that the KK top in black is a perfect basic and I think the cobalt in the Halogen tunic makes it just a little more interesting - plus I love all blues! </p> <p>Hope your items show up soon. I think I'll be waiting a while </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524687 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:50:17 +0000 Sveta 1524687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the boots were very hard to pack back - the leather is so soft, the color is beautiful, the calf fit perfect (does not happen often!)...but fit is the king with the footwear.<br />Actually I got both blue and red trenches because I could not decide - will see in the store which I like better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524685 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:47:48 +0000 Robin 1524685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What colours did you end up getting in the tops?</p> <p>And, I'm still waiting for my items, so you're not so far behind all the rest of us. :)Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524682 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:46:00 +0000 kerry 1524682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! You're right, Sveta - no trenches in deep winter - puffers all the way! But dragging my puffer out for a cool April morning is just too depressing. Hope that liner is warm enough!</p> <p>I'm finally trying to listen to my feet that are demanding to have roomy footbeds!</p> <p>Those boots are beautiful - so sad they're too tight but life's too short for footwear that isn't comfy.</p> <p>What colour MK trench did you get?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524661 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:27:47 +0000 Sveta 1524661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He-he kerry, I WISH we were able to wear trenches 8-9 months of the year in Canada but unfortunately this is mostly puffer and the warmest of wool coats (ok, don't want even think about winter NOW!)<br />Nice selection! I hope the boots work for you. They are such a beast to fit! This is my frustration talking as I just &nbsp;packed back a pair cognac Rieker boots which were perfectly fitting in the calf width and length but were too tight all over in the footbed (including instep) :-(<br />I ordered the same trench, we may end up being twins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-order-from-canada#post-1524650 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:15:23 +0000 kerry 1524650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know most folks on the forum are winding down their NAS activity - making final decisions and sending stuff back. I only just submitted my order this evening.</p> <p>It was really hard to narrow down what I wanted to buy. I had to consider the currency exchange costs and some duty costs. I also had to think hard about sizing and style to minimize returns (costly). I hope I have no returns :)</p> <p>I asked questions on the forum (thank you). I tire kicked around here (Toronto). I went back and forth on several items. Whittled my list down to one item and in the end ordered six. Here they are ...</p> <p>Zella Capris - I ordered these because they are high waisted. I have 2 similar pairs of cropped pants that I realize now are too low waisted. I hope these work as a replacement. I've also realized that I want all my bottoms to be high waisted. I just took up golf and fortunately insisted on a high-waisted golf skort for my capsule (I almost didn't but returned the ones that didn't make me feel "locked in")</p> <p>Halogen cami - a wardrobe essential I think Angie would call it. I have several of these already. I was hoping there would be some colours I liked too. Next time.</p> <p>MK Trench - love this colour! Why don't we get this selection of colours in coats in Canada?? We have to wear them 8-9 months of the year! I bought this for the colour, the petite sizing (no need to shorten sleeves - so difficult with a trench), the single breasted style and the liner (I'm hoping I now won't have to wear my lightest puffer on a cool spring morning!).</p> <p>KK Top - I like long over lean and wore a lot of long cardies over slim bottoms last winter. I wanted to work this silhouette with some one piece tops for this winter.</p> <p>Halogen tunic - ditto the KK top</p> <p>Cognac boots - oh how I dithered! The lengths I went to to figure out sizing, colour, height!! Bought these because, like many with big girl calves, tall boots are a HEWI. I have one black pair from DUO, which are great, but just not comfortable enough in the footbed to make them all-the-time boots. The black and style feels dressier too. I'm hoping these cognac ones will a. fit! b. not be too orange and c. be casual and comfy enough for my lifestyle.</p> <p>Thanks to Angie for answering my questions and her detailed lists, Thistle for her cardinal "walk your dog in them comfortable" rule around footwear, Carter for her detailed post on NAS shopping, and to Robin for helping me think about colours for the tops.</p>
