When I hear stiff, I think thick and heavy leather….</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211164 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 23:56:32 +0000 rachylou 2211164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, the notion of gun metal captures my fancy! The silver sneakers are smart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211159 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 23:30:04 +0000 Barbara Diane 2211159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad that the bag and hopefully the sneakers work for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211143 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 22:27:36 +0000 Style Fan 2211143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the lookout for a crossbody bag.&nbsp; That looks like a great one.&nbsp; Good picks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211042 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 16:26:37 +0000 kkards 2211042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the metallic capsule, for me that size bag is just right…holds just what i need so I’m not tempted to bring more and than complain about how heavy my bag is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211038 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 16:17:36 +0000 cat2 2211038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, great pick of a bag that has a bit of edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211036 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 15:46:37 +0000 Anonymous 2211036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my finger poised to buy those sneakers if they are part of our NAS assortment. Right now they are still at full price &nbsp;here - $135 Cdn which seems way out of whack and is likely a artificial price. &nbsp; Love that bag too ! &nbsp;Great find. I'm on the lookout for a cream and a black crossbody in that size. &nbsp;I'm a total convert now to that style . I used to avoid crossbodies at all costs - ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211035 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 15:39:18 +0000 Janet 2211035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I find the sneakers TTS. I am wearing them in my usual size 8. </p> <p>Another note: the uppers are so soft that I chose to use a shoehorn to ease the heel on, rather than smash down the heel to get my foot in. The softness is a big part of what makes them so comfortable, but I do wonder if it may make them wear out a bit faster than my old silver sneakers. For this price point, I'm willing to bite the bullet!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211033 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 15:33:28 +0000 Suz 2211033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b>, thanks for these reviews! I really like the bag and would not have noticed it but for your comments here. I doubt it will be available in Canada but I'll check it out!&nbsp;</p> <p>Are the sneakers TTS? Wondering if I should go for 6.5 or 7 (if either is available in Canada).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211031 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 15:25:07 +0000 Janet 2211031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I was wearing the sneakers around the house, and they're so comfortable that I forgot about them and walked outside to water the plants, so... looks like I'm keeping them! LOL&nbsp;</p> <p>Kathie, I wasn't sure about that aspect at first, because sometimes styles like that create too much of a fold in the leather and rub on the top of my foot. However, I put these on with my Ondo no-show socks (I'm now a convert, rather than go sockless with sneakers), and they feel fine!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211029 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 15:12:21 +0000 slim cat 2211029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything and anything in metallic colors - nice finds! Gunmetal is a perfect color - I've recently got silver ECCO sneakers and still adjusting to the bright shine . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211028 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 15:07:42 +0000 Kathie 2211028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag is perfect with your shoes, and I can see gunmetal being an excellent bookend for your hair. Cute shoes! What did you think of the top of the sneakers being all one piece, rather than having a separate tongue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211027 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 14:58:49 +0000 April 2211027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - silver sneakers.&nbsp; I am not biting because I can spot a sneaker that won't work for my fussy feet but total eye candy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211026 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 14:54:30 +0000 JAileen 2211026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag looks great! &nbsp;I love gunmetal, and also the camera bag style. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211010 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 13:26:41 +0000 Janet 2211010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aquamarine, yes! I have M's in North Face that fit fine. You'd think in the post pandemic era they'd be cutting a little more generous, if anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211004 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 13:14:49 +0000 Aquamarine 2211004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It feels as if the North Face has changed their sizing. I have much older jackets that fit fine in my usual M but then anything new I try on in M is too tight through the torso or can only accommodate a very thin top.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>It’s like they cut back on the amount of fabric they use.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211002 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 12:54:06 +0000 Janet 2211002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Nadya! The bag is *just* big enough for me for daytime use, and it actually keeps me from carrying too much weight on my shoulders. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>My feet are also getting a bit more challenging to fit. I've enjoyed decades of having an easy time finding certain kinds of shoes (although pumps and flats have always been hard, as they tend to slip right off my heels), so I still consider myself pretty lucky! It just makes me more picky.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2211001 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 12:52:22 +0000 Murph11 2211001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I like that bag! Perfect size and match for your booties and sandals. SCORE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2210999 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 12:51:05 +0000 Nadya 2210999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, good finds! That purse looks just enough bigger than some camera bag handbags I’ve seen to be a touch more practical while still keeping the camera bag style. &nbsp;Glad the sneakers seem to work. Every year my feet seem good get harder to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-likely-nas-winners#post-2210998 Tue, 20 Jul 2021 12:46:55 +0000 Janet 2210998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made the trip to Nordstrom yesterday to return the teal coat and got to check out some items in person. </p> <p>Not much floated my boat, honestly. Most of what caught my eye online was not available in-store except for the North Face teal anorak, which is nice but kind of utilitarian, and I'm kind of between sizes in it -- the M fits but would not accommodate much underneath, and the L just feels too roomy and not terribly fab. I like the color but am holding out for a style that makes me feel great.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, this gunmetal crossbody caught my eye. I have a pair of western style booties in this color, and my Sofft gladiator sandals as well (both pictured below in Finds). Gunmetal is a really good metallic for me, and lately I'm most into bags that are either crossbody or backpacks. This bag is just big enough to hold my necessities. It's a little bit stiff, but not unpleasantly so. So the bag came home with me. (I may need to do a bag edit, but I'm proceeding carefully. I have some I really love that I'm just not using at the moment -- I suspect they'll have a moment again in a couple of years, so I am more inclined to keep them, so I may move them to a separate bag holding zone.)</p> <p>When I arrived home, the Poppy sneakers were waiting for me. They are quite shiny, have very soft uppers and are quite comfortable. They are not too wide in the heel for me, which is a minor miracle these days, especially in a style with a thicker sole. I will wear them around the house a bit to be sure, but I think these are a worthy replacement for my aged Cole Haans (pictured below in Finds). </p>
