I haven’t found much there, but like to hear others find some good items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2045996 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 16:27:10 +0000 Barbara Diane 2045996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Shevia</b>.&nbsp;<br /><b>Style fan</b>, the bracelet is hinged, and runs small. The reviews mention it. My wrists might be the smallest part of me and they are tight on my dominant hand.<br /><b>Staysfit</b>, it is interesting to be in store. I would never have ordered the bracelet from seeing it online. On the other hand, most of my items I ordered online. And the bag was not in red in store; if I had not seen it online I wouldn't have know to order it.<br /><b>Sterling and delurked,</b>&nbsp;I liked the black with the brown handles because I felt like that way I could wear it with more colors. I used to have black and brown shoes. And no brown purses. However, after wanting a bright navy all one color bag for a few years but not wanting to pay full price, I found it at TJMax. It's not the expandable one but it is the large one. And I may have seen all one color ones and longer straps at Nordstrom Rack, but I'm not 100% sure.&nbsp;<br /><b>Suntiger</b>, yay cello!&nbsp;<br /><b>Thistle</b>, thanks, and sorry about your work code.<br /><b>bj1111</b>, now, you may like cello even more than me They do say it's the instrument with the range most similar to the human voice.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043364 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 18:35:19 +0000 bj1111 2043364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it just me that thinks cello music is so sexy? Gives me shivers in a Barry white sort of way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043294 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 13:36:06 +0000 Thistle 2043294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your picks.</p> <p>I am a huge fan of Munro shoes. Sadly, they changed the dress code at work. While we're now allowed to wear jeans, we are not allowed to wear sandals anymore. Even dressy ones. But bright red sneakers are okay. So odd!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043291 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 13:21:11 +0000 delurked 2043291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling - that brown contrast is my number one reason I’ve not purchased a longchamp bag (well, that and I prefer a longer strap like a crossbody to be available) I know they occasionally have ones that are all one color. I think those are the leather ones though, right? I’m not sure why that trips me up, as I like them just fine when I see others carry them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043270 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 11:51:44 +0000 Anonymous 2043270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love cello :)<br /> Think I need an expandable tote now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043260 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 11:12:53 +0000 Anonymous 2043260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is NOT just <b>you</b> and <b>Delurked.</b> &nbsp;My brain follows very similar meandering pathways during NAS. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am another fan of that Longchamp bag. &nbsp;The single reason it is not in my cart is because I like my bags to be all one color. &nbsp;The brown handles/flap bother me on some level. &nbsp;The contrast is no so bad with the red. &nbsp;In fact, I didn't even notice it until I went back to look again. &nbsp;</p> <p>I do hope the bag works out for you. &nbsp;I am hoping to purchase a new bag during NAS as well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043252 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 10:26:16 +0000 Staysfit 2043252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice sparkly additions for your collection! If I could be at a Nordies in person I would be more tempted to purchase some jewelry but there isn’t a store near here. The closest is probably in Ottawa, which would mean crossing the border, not that I wouldn’t do that, but it’s a three hour drive.....hmm, I could be there before it opens if I leave now......:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043243 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 10:13:23 +0000 Style Fan 2043243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The concert sounds wonderful.&nbsp; I love the sculptural bangle.&nbsp; Great piece.&nbsp; I love bangles but it is hard to find ones that are not too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043221 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 09:15:29 +0000 Jaime 2043221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an exciting day!

Now sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t.</p> <p> <b>Suz</b>, the concert was wonderful. The bag is cute and really strong, but if constantly overloaded it gets pinprick/small holes in the bottom four corners. Thanks for the info on the sandals. I’m a bit jealous/happy for you that you shopped with Angie. And so happy that you shared it and are sharing your insights with us. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043198 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 06:25:30 +0000 Barbara Diane 2043198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Delurked</b>, I’m glad it’s not just me. :)<br /> Tina, I fell in love with cello years ago when I was lucky to hear Yo-Yo Ma. My favorite instrument (to listen to). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043196 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 06:15:26 +0000 Suz 2043196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I am in a quiet ecstacy thinking about that concert. No wonder you chose starry lounge items and sparkling jewels!&nbsp;</p> <p>I collected that bag the minute I saw it. I think I might need it, too. Haven't ordered (yet) but am strongly pulled to order.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, <b>Angie </b>said those sandals are a top pick She mentioned she'd had several clients with different foot shapes in them, all saying the comfort level was terrific!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043191 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 05:24:48 +0000 Tina 2043191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was an interesting read:-)<br /> I would love to hear a professional cellist play!<br /> My faves are the lounge set and the red bag. I find bracelets fun to look at but I don’t seem to wear them, too fussy for me. I’m even off watches lately although I’ve been thinking of wearing one again lately.<br /> I hope you show us your successes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043169 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 03:09:59 +0000 delurked 2043169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice sandals and red bag. I also like the cute heart jogger and sweatshirt. I considered it too late for a gift because the top is sold out in the cute prints. Also, those earrings are very pretty. Laughing at your meandering thoughts, as it sounds very similar to how my mind would take me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043152 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 01:27:11 +0000 Barbara Diane 2043152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the sandals are TTS. The bracelets run small.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043148 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 01:24:55 +0000 Barbara Diane 2043148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Donna F</b>, I have one in black from several NAS's ago. Unlike you, I over stuff it all the time, and use it most of the time. It is starting to show the effects on the inner layer. And my phone falls out of the pocket and it's hard to find my keys under everything. But then, I love that I can put in it way too much stuff, everything and books, notebooks, and the sweater I removed because it warmed up outside. It's my Mary Poppins bag! And I wanted to add a red bag.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043146 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 01:18:36 +0000 DonnaF 2043146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My LePliage expandable tote from NAS a couple years back is my most used tote ever — for making my Nordstrom returns, lol. It holds about all I can carry comfortably, and after my returns I zip it up because all I will be carrying is a newspaper and maybe a small clutch.</p> <p>That red is so pretty. . .but my light gray one is holding up quite well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043145 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 01:18:25 +0000 Barbara Diane 2043145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Angie</b>. Many of my shoes and sandals are Munro. Unfortunately they changed the last on the shoes and they no longer fit me. :(&nbsp;</p> <p>And thanks for reading my long and winding post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043141 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 01:06:29 +0000 Angie 2043141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reviews. Glad you had great lemonade! </p> <p>The Munro sandals are top picks. AMAZING comfort. Fun bling too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-so-far-long-and-meandering#post-2043137 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 00:49:55 +0000 Barbara Diane 2043137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After saying I wasn't going to get into it much this year....<br />The night before I stayed up late searching Early Access _____.<br />And put items in finds. It helped when I couldn't find two items, an SA helped me find one, and told me they had not received the other.</p> <p>I was at the small local store at 9:15, 15 minutes after opening. The store didn't get busy until 10.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ok, is it weird that my favorite item was the muddled blackberry mint lemonade? I hadn't had it before, but after not having eating breakfast I wisely took a break.</p> <p>I came home tired, and we had a long drive to a concert last night, made worse because I couldn't seem to get up from my chair to leave, and DH wasn't complaining because he was watching the tape of yesterday's Wimbledon tennis matches.</p> <p>We saw the young cellist who played at the Royal Wedding and his sister was the accompanist. And I got tickets because it was cello, not realizing it was him.</p> <p>Anyway, came home to my note on the entry floor reminding me to order more, as I had activated my double points. Sat in same chair and fell asleep. Woke up and got an order in just before midnight. And then a few items after. Already know I won't keep one of them, but that's what rush ordering does to me.</p> <p>There is nothing that I purchased or ordered that I am 100% sure I am keeping. Except I plan to use the leather cleaner/conditioner on furniture.</p> <p>Red nylon LePilage expandable tote is on it's way. The SA ordered it for me as it wasn't in stock.</p> <p>I came home with 2 pairs of Munro sandals. One on sale. Then I looked some more. I thought the second one was only $20 more but that was the other one I picked up but didn't get. Will try both on with outfits to decide whether to keep one or both. Then today I thought, well, I wasn't comparing those to other sandals. So now I've ordered other sandals to compare them to. And neither pair really fits the hole I need to fill. But I am hard to fit, so I may stock up anyway.</p> <p>I also came home with two sparkly bracelets, in gold and silver tones.<br />I really wanted the silver one for my right wrist as I usually have a watch and bangles on the left. But my right wrist is a little larger than my left, and this bracelet is on the small size. And the gold one looks better with my wedding ring, but I was attracted to the bracelet in the first place because it works well with my silver Nadri earrings. I need to wear them a bit around the house to see if they feel tight when I'm not focusing on them. Then I thought, would I prefer an Alexis Bittar bangle? So then I looked at them and ordered the bracelet below to see which I'd rather spend money on.</p> <p>I tried on smaller sizes than I wear to help me to decide what to order. The SA ordered me the heart lounge pants and top, hopefully I guessed the right sizes.&nbsp;</p> <p>When I went to order, I looked at my wish list. On it was a cardigan to match a sleeveless dress I bought last year. I added it to the wish list and YLF finds even though there was only one and it wasn't in my size.<br />Well, I don't know if it will fit, but I searched it again. After no luck more times than I can tell you last year, one that may fit is on order from Neiman Marcus. If it arrives and fits, I will be soooo happy.</p> </p>
