As always, we have such fun together! Hope you make it next year Marianne and Sihaya. </p> <p>You know how I feel about your NAS goodies :0). All the items are KILLER. You wouldn't have purchased them if they weren't! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80191 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 05:04:28 +0000 Alecia 80191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made out well, Antje.

However, I'm so happy that you got the blue top &#38; that jacket - they are so you! I know you'll find some boots - I'm keeping my eyes open for the ones we talked about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80178 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 04:11:08 +0000 Sihaya 80178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje - thanks for sharing. I'm double bummed that I couldn't make it. I am hoping to catch about half hour tomorrow in between meetings. That jacket, top, dress are all killer. I'm sad that you have to return the summery dress - it is PERFECT on you. But I understand wanting to prioritize against a fall one. Enjoy your goodies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80177 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 04:10:18 +0000 Antje 80177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. That jacket really is a treasure; I know I'll wear it tons.</p> <p>Greenglove/Jean, the brand of my glasses is "Pinton". I bought them either at Ottica or Eye Society, both independent stores in the Seattle area. I found some references to Pinton eyewear online, but didn't figure out what my specific model is called. I've been VERY happy with them. Angie helped me pick them out!</p> <p>Jennifer 26, the blue top is from Kenneth Cole; just found the link to it on the Nordies site (it was not part of NAS): <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3034788?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=Kenneth+Cole+in+All+Categories&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80170 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 03:15:14 +0000 marianne 80170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh Antje, I am so envious of your Fri morning expedition! The 1st jacket - is so fun and great price and so you! And I love that sleeveless dress, I think you should really try and keep it :)<br /> Too bad about the boots. I was hoping there would be some at NAS, but the way things are going there will be no foray into skirts for me this fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80162 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 02:30:12 +0000 jennifer26 80162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing the story and pics. Love the black jacket on you. Totally see why you got the top, would you mind sharing the brand/department. :)</p> <p>Good luck with the coat/boot search. Will look forward to seeing what you end up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80141 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:35:54 +0000 Anonymous 80141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thankyou for sharing Antje. You have such strong willpower to be able to return the multi colored dress that the ladies reviewed so highly for you. It looks fabulous. I would love to see it worked into an autumn dress with boots and a cardi, but I know you've probably already assessed the possibility.<br /> Your Mac and Jack jacket really is so you and I love it on you. I'm glad you went home with something that you knew you had to have.<br /> I love the flutter dress. I am going to a wedding this summer and might have to think about that one. I love the 3/4 sleeves.<br /> Your summer top is beautiful. You'll be able to wear that everyday this week!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80137 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:05:28 +0000 elpgal 80137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is great. That blue dress is such a nice print and shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80132 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:45:28 +0000 greenglove 80132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje,<br /> That jacket is amazing and I would wear it in a second, good thing I did not see it.<br /> I also love the top and dress but I am blown away by the jacket and very envious of your proximity to Angie. </p> <p>It is great to have you back more regularly.<br /> I have been meaning to ask you, where did you get your glasses? I am looking for cat-eye that are not too small and those look great!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80095 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 21:55:56 +0000 marianna 80095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I love Mac &#38; Jac and that jacket is absolutely darling. Enjoy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80092 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 21:43:59 +0000 taylor 80092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje,</p> <p>How did I miss the Mac &#38; Jack jacket...it is so me too!!!!! And that shutter pleate dress....I'm dying here..LOVE that. </p> <p>You did super duper on this NAS. I really like that blue multi on you too...is that the one going back:(</p> <p>Thanks for sharing your buys with us.:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-report-antje#post-80087 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 21:25:33 +0000 Antje 80087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please excuse both the tardiness and the length of the post, but here we go… Password for the links is “youlookfab”</p> <p>As one of the lucky ones who reside in Seattle - home of Nordies and home of Angie - I had a very fun morning at NAS at the flagship store together with Angie and two other YLF members. It was a great few hours: the shopping hormones were raging, we saw tons of lovely fall clothes, tried on a lot of pieces, and came home with some goodies. For me the sale was a little disappointing in that (as Angie had already alerted us) the boot and coat selection was rather poor, and those happen to be two of my top four fall items to buy. But it still was very fun and I love the items I came home with. The details:</p> <p>I bought a very cute Mac &#38; Jack black ruffled little jacket, which I didn't exactly "need" but which was extremely "me" and it makes me happy just to look at it. It also was a great deal at $59 so I don’t really feel much guilt about the indulgency… <a href="http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll308/AntjeYLF/NAS/?action=view&#038;current=morejuly052.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s291.photobucket.com/al.....uly052.jpg</a> </p> <p>I also got a cobalt blue summer top, and honestly I don't even know if it was part of the sale, but I loved the cut and the color and knew I would get a lot of wear out of it so I bought it without a second thought: <a href="http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll308/AntjeYLF/NAS/morejuly046.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i291.photobucket.com/al.....uly046.jpg</a> </p> <p>I also got new tights and bras, which aren't as fun to show off but I was very happy to haul them home!</p> <p>I tried the Cookie Johnson jeans and liked the style a lot, but they weren't stellar on my bod. I did instead buy but in the end decided to return a pair of black David Kahns that looked real good but were just a little too snug and a little too low in the rise. I liked them when I was standing, but once I wore them for half an hour sitting down at home, I knew they had go back. Bad muffin top squeeze… Finding great jeans is one of my major fall must-haves and I hadn't really counted on it to happen during NAS, so I'm okay with continuing the search and hope to find something by September.</p> <p>I also wanted to find a fall/winter dress, and didn't come home with one, though I quite liked some of the NAS offerings. In the end, I ordered one online that I didn't see in the store: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3056039/0~2376776~2374325~2384900?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=2384900&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....0&#038;P=1</a><br /> I hope it works, and if not, I'll continue to look for either a dress or a "jumper" (something to wear over a button down or long sleeve tee) in a blue or pink/fuchsia color.</p> <p>I did buy but will likely return a more summery (and spring) dress that I liked a lot and got very positive feedback on from Angie and the other ladies. Here it is: <a href="http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll308/AntjeYLF/NAS/morejuly043.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i291.photobucket.com/al.....uly043.jpg</a> The colors are real pretty and bright. Even though I like it a lot I’m almost sure that I’ll return it, just because I’d rather spend this money on a fall dress and it would be too extravagant at this point to buy a summer dress I wasn’t after.</p> <p>As I said initially, I found the boots disappointing - too much Western style for my taste. And the coats were worse; I was looking for a snazzy non-black coat but found the offerings a little too "safe" overall. I already have a great basic charcoal coat, so I'm hoping to find something in a brighter and funkier color/pattern/cut eventually. I did see a lot of great leather jackets/coats/vest, and it was kinda hard to resist, but it really wasn't a priority and so I was disciplined and passed by those racks...</p> <p>Laurel and JuliJuli found some BEAUTIFUL goodies of their own, which I hope they'll model for YLF. I actually took my camera with me and then completely forgot to take pictures in all that excitement, sorry... It was so wonderful to shop with Angie and benefit from her quick expert assessment. I would have come home with so many more items, but less great and workable ones, without her guidance if I had shopped on my own!!</p> <p>Looking forward to catching up on everyone else’s NAS stories and pictures… </p>
