Thanks, Traci!!</p> <p>I haven't gotten my real catalog yet, so this is SO fun :-)</p> <p>If I hadn't seen it, I would have said I don't really need *anything* for this fall/winter. . .but now that I've seen it, I AM tempted by quite a few things (Big surprise there ;-)</p> <p>It's nice to get it early -- plenty of time to get excited and start to cool down before the pre-sale even starts !! Then the reality of how some of these things look on me helps me eliminate even further :-\</p> <p>That said, I still have my sights set on trying on lots and lots of goodies I hope they manage their pre-sale inventory better this year -- so there are sizes and colors to try on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655395 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 04:06:04 +0000 ManidipaM 655395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, knowing full well I can't buy any of it at all, that was fun window shopping and a great window into next seasons mixes of colours, patterns, silhouettes... even attitudes (I think there's often 2 or 3 dominant 'attitudes' to a season too --- maybe Angie could comment best on that, but the 80s' punk and 90s' waif come strongly to mind, as well as the 80s' careerwoman; I'm pretty certain there are micro-attitudes to the seasons within too).</p> <p>Thanks so much, Traci! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655353 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:02:15 +0000 Jem 655353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm interested in the python booties, but wonder what they'd actually look like on. I love the plaid skinnies in one of those first pictures, too. I'm also loving the outfit with the blue shirt on pg. 32. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655340 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:52:24 +0000 Keix 655340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I have no idea which train station I'm going into--er, the main one? I'd be going north from Champaign.</p> <p>Like many others, I am VERY tempted by the teal leather moto jacket. It would be my entire budget for July, and I'm seriously considering it. I have been looking around for a leather jacket for a bit in the $100 price range, but didn't find anything that I liked, much less loved. I'm not sure about the trendiness of teal-colored leather, though; is it better to limit myself to black? (If I'm going for a neutral, I definitely want black over brown or cognac.)</p> <p>Also just noticed that the teal jacket only goes down to Small in misses and petites. I hope I'm not sized out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655339 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:50:56 +0000 Nadya 655339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right now my list is starting with the Report booties, black and white booties, Me Too black patent pumps, and that teal leather jacket. Suz, with that jacket available in misses, petites and plus, I think you're quite right it's got a lot of YLF names on it!</p> <p>I adore the Bebe trench but doubt it would fit. Hoping another it finds a YLF home with someone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655320 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:28:57 +0000 velvetychocolate 655320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Traci! I really appreciate being able to take a look through the catalogue, though I realize there are lots of other things that are going to be on sale, in addition to what's shown in the catalogue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655316 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:23:31 +0000 cciele 655316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm eyeing that teal moto jacket and the white-and-black Nexx tunic too! Ahh... Also love the plaid pants with zippers, but I don't think I have the right body type for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655248 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 01:03:53 +0000 Charmian 655248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskagirl, that just means you're approaching closet nirvana! And I love that the term "nirvana", although colloquially used to mean "bliss", traditionally means "freedom from desires" ... which is exactly what we've got here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655156 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:33:46 +0000 Suz 655156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that teal moto jacket on p. 44 has a bunch of people's names on it. Sveta comes to mind. (I'd love one myself, for that matter....) </p> <p>I also love the python booties and the black and white chelsea boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655152 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:30:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 655152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just wondering though if I'm getting caught up in other people's excitement and not thinking clearly about whether any of these items would actually work in my wardrobe. Must take deep breath... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655146 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:25:19 +0000 catgirl 655146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to take my temperature because although I see several things I like (the orange jacket/plaid pants combo!), I don't see anything I must have or that is making my heart race. Is that good or bad? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655143 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:23:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 655143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking about that too Suz - this might be one of those occasions where I just say to heck with the delivery and duty charges! I saw how we can apply for a card on the Nordie's website.</p> <p>I didn't participate last year because I was still relatively new but I'm kind of excited about this - will think on it some more.</p> <p>Traci - thanks for posting this! (or maybe I should be cursing you instead...lol!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655087 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:15:32 +0000 Suz 655087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I have serious shopping envy. Shannon...I might just spring for one of those cards and have stuff delivered to the border and pick it up. Ask Dianthus how she does this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans/page/2#post-655084 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:12:19 +0000 Traci 655084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think settling on one pair of patterned booties is going to be the hardest part for me. I'm in love with the black and white spotted ones, but I've also been eyeing those leopard spot Sam Edelmans and now to see that they have cousins in python? What's a girl to do? Currently leaning towards the b/w spots but that could change 20 times by July! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655061 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:54:17 +0000 Tanya 655061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! Thank you so much for psoting this Traci!</p> <p>I am drooling over so many things: the python booties, the b&amp;w calf hair booties, teal moto jacket, plaid skinnies, Nexx tunic, leather peplum top.... Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655054 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:47:57 +0000 Laura 655054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I need someone at Nordstrom to fork over the CK ponte knit color block dress on page 8 RIGHT NOW, and no one gets hurt. Oh yes, and throw in the python boots while you're at it ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655052 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:46:43 +0000 Anonymous 655052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very fun! Thanks for posting the catalog link...mine hasn't arrived yet! I have my appointment booked for the first day of the presale and can't wait! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655043 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:41:24 +0000 Laura 655043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, KL, are you going into Ogilvie Station? Then the closest store by far will be Nordstrom Michigan Avenue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655042 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:40:37 +0000 Laura 655042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can back up what Marianna said about our Nordstrom - you can shop without an appointment, and there is never a doubt that they welcome all cardholders. It's a great atmosphere. I am sure the flagship is an absolute zoo, Angie! I also shopped the presale on Michigan Avenue, and it seemed more of an imperative to have an appointment there, which I did. Our SA there preselected for us, and I must say I was not impressed. Guess I have been spoiled by Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655035 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:28:22 +0000 Keix 655035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I'm taking the train to Chicago, which Nordstrom would be most convenient? I hadn't realized there were multiple! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655031 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:23:34 +0000 Sylvie 655031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be buying the Halogen girlfriend cardigans in red, green gold and possibly one of the blues as well as whatever sizes of the petite skirts I can find.</p> <p>The Nexx black/white blouse might be on my list, seeing how well the solid colors have worked out fo rme.</p> <p>I wish the teal or plum leather jackets could come home with me *sigh* but I will just look at them longingly from afar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655030 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:23:13 +0000 Jonesy 655030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like the tall python boots and the python booties, please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655017 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:13:09 +0000 annagybe 655017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I seriously can't decide between the orange and teal moto jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655016 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:12:58 +0000 Charmian 655016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that colorblocked shift tugs at my heartstrings! And I'm confused why they put that cream-and-black silk tunic in the catalog when it's <em>clearly</em> mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655010 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:06:17 +0000 Angie 655010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like a great arrangement, Marianna! I want to shop in your store so you can be my SA </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655007 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:04:43 +0000 Jamie 655007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! So many beautiful temptations, and this is only a fraction? Oh dear. I need to focus -- several of the low boots and booties are calling to me, that cobalt coat, the mod Calvin Klein dress, the plaid W&amp;W skinnies, and much more. Focus and remember my primary season in my neck of the woods. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655005 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:04:11 +0000 marianna 655005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci, my store would be closest to you! I work at Old Orchard in Customer Service. I don't sell, but I can set you up with a Nordstrom card. You can take your goodies home that day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655004 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:02:37 +0000 Traci 655004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure Marianna. Any tips on which store would be closest to me? I'll be coming down I 94 through Milwaukee. Which store are you at? Are you booking appointments? I don't love a crowd, so it would be great to have a friendly face to help me through it.</p> <p>Is it true that they are letting selections go home during the pre sale? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-655002 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:01:32 +0000 marianna 655002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last NAS I had just moved back to Chicago and was a sales person. I didn't have appointments or clientele yet and I helped a ton of customers who didn't have appointments. It was crazy and chaotic but there were many people who didn't have appointments and needed assistance. I know my store allows any and all Nordstrom card holders to shop pre-select and we are also one of the top-event stores in the company. Interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-catalog-scans#post-654999 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:57:09 +0000 Angie 654999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the Flagship, the NAS preselection tents fill up so fast that it's chaos! People grab stuff in front of other people and cause a commotion. Clothes, shoes and bags are flying all over the show. I saw it with my own eyes. The only way they can control it is with an appointment. It regulates the chaos in the tents. </p>
