It's been odd. But it also makes sense since I gained weight and sized out of most of my jeans and hadn't had a true refresh in over a year. I got some nice higher waisted slim straights that are in fact more like skinnies for my body type -- but nothing else. And I wanted a change. So this is perfect!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2/page/2#post-2049054 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 21:51:03 +0000 Angie 2049054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY.

I made a quiet mention of my non-fandom in replying to someone else’s k/r. To me, animal prints very, very easily cross the line into joke territory. There are people in the forum (like Suz) who wear them well, and I do enjoy the silliness of my leopard gloves, but for the most part it’s not for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2/page/2#post-2047464 Thu, 25 Jul 2019 01:25:54 +0000 Suz 2047464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so confusing, right? I have to say that the young man in footwear in Vancouver didn't exactly do a thorough search on the computer for me. He just asserted they wouldn't have them, full stop. I could have pushed the matter but figured since I can get them anyway I'll just do that. It may cost me a few dollars more but it's worth it to me considering I know the fit and function of these and they will bookend my hair. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2/page/2#post-2047460 Thu, 25 Jul 2019 00:56:40 +0000 Marilyn 2047460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Smittie</b>.....Glad it's not just me.&nbsp; I tried the Elvinas in taupe last winter so I'm familiar with the boot.&nbsp; Maybe they ARE coded wrong.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2/page/2#post-2047459 Thu, 25 Jul 2019 00:47:57 +0000 smittie 2047459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marilyn, I could have sworn it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2/page/2#post-2047458 Thu, 25 Jul 2019 00:39:25 +0000 Marilyn 2047458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang.....Now I want to go back to see what the boots are.&nbsp; I could have sworn it was them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2/page/2#post-2047454 Wed, 24 Jul 2019 23:43:46 +0000 Elizabeth P 2047454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just placed the first of my “I’m not really interested in fall clothes now so won’t likely participate in NAS” calls.

And Kate Spade NY continues to piss me off by sending emails about US prices and sales, but when I click on the link, it takes me to the UK site, which has generally never heard of that US stuff. It was a problem when I was stalking my backpack, because it was only in the US website. </p> <p>My son says (now) that I can download a vpn to make it look like we are in the US. If only he would’ve told me that right when we got here &amp; I was messing with medical records and similar that were suddenly unavailable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2#post-2047361 Wed, 24 Jul 2019 17:52:39 +0000 Suz 2047361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Marilyn!&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2#post-2047360 Wed, 24 Jul 2019 17:50:56 +0000 nemosmom 2047360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those snake print boots will be so cool with all of your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2#post-2047353 Wed, 24 Jul 2019 17:38:06 +0000 Marilyn 2047353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz.....I'm fairly sure they were the Elvinas.

And thanks for the Yorkdale report.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re the website -- it's been confusing as all get-out for me this year! In the past, if I visited the online site, I would be ordering from the US. I have a US Nordstrom card. That I cannot use in Canada because it comes from a US banking institution.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, I'm also a member of the Canadian "Nordy club" because I shop in Canada. Which is nice, but odd -- I collect points in both countries and can't use them interchangeably! </p> <p>And now when I go to the site, because I'm located in Canada, it automatically directs me to the Canadian store. You can't order online from the Canadian store -- no online shopping yet, as <b>LisaP</b> pointed out. </p> <p>I have to go through some rigamarole to get into the American site to order things from the US with my US card. I'll bet you're right, Fashintern, that they are in the process of developing something unique.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;I look forward to a time when there is one site for Canada, one for the US (as with many other retailers) and I can decide which one I want to visit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re the <b>Blondos</b> -- <b>Marilyn</b>, were the ones you saw the Elvinas or the Eliza sale booties? There are two different styles. The guy in the footwear department assured me they wouldn't be carrying the Elvinas in snake print and made no move to check further (i.e. could he get them for me -- maybe I should have pushed him harder. If they are indeed available in Canada I should cancel that order and get from Canada!!) I don't want the other style, though - -it would be too loose on me with the open sides. Vancouver Nordstrom's didn't have the Elizas either, by the way....</p> <p><b>Elizabeth,</b> I have two pair of the Elvinas already from last year so I know they fit me. I do wear my larger size as I most often do in boots and booties simply to put in a thicker sock or insole if I want, and also these are quite pointy. I ordered a 7 when my usual size is 6.5 or 7. I love the slope of the last -- it's perfect for my foot. There is width where I need it and narrowness where I don't and while the heel is a bit wide, that is my constant issue with all footwear except for La Canadienne, and these are not as bad as most for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't understand the negative reviews for these -- I had ZERO quality issues with my two pairs, one of which I wore every day for the entire winter of rain and snow and both of which still look almost completely new -- they held up in waterproofing, too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Susie,</b> I didn't buy the 1 state long blazer but I tried it and loved it. (Not great photos -- it was hard to get into decent light and my dress did compete!) I was between sizes in it, though, and the fit of the shorter jacket was better on me, which is why I chose it instead. I am a bit "hippier" than in the past which is the issue.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2#post-2047338 Wed, 24 Jul 2019 16:09:45 +0000 Jules 2047338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to Yorkdale on Sunday. Also quiet, lots of eager SAs. I don’t really find it worthwhile to seek out specific items because so many things don’t make it to Canada, but I did come across &amp; try on the olive leopard print pants and supposed miracle one-size-fits-all undies. Pants weren’t for me and the undies stretched out to be somewhat transparent on me and felt a bit snug, which did not appeal. I can usually wear L in underwear and size up to XL for comfort. I’m generally not impressed with supposed OS items because yeah they may ‘fit’, but they won’t fit the same on XS and XL. I don’t get why the manufacturer wouldn’t do at least two sizes.<br /> Fell in love with this Pharrell-sized hat that was not on sale, but my DD convinced me it was too much for my small features. We have fun shopping together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2#post-2047337 Wed, 24 Jul 2019 16:01:37 +0000 Susie 2047337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for finding the jeans! And those boots look so perfect for you; it was helpful to find out about the need to order them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Side note: I think I must be the only forum member who doesn't really like snake print. I think it's simply because I don't like snakes! Though that being true, it would make sense that I would rather see it on clothing than on a real snake!</p> <p>PS Did you get the 1 state long blazer? Or try it? If so, how was the sizing/fit for you? I'm wondering how the fit compares to the windowpane one. I ordered the long one with my first order but it was cancelled. This morning one was briefly available so I ordered it to try. I know there is a good chance this one will cancel too but hopefully I will get lucky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vancouver-report-2#post-2047332 Wed, 24 Jul 2019 15:29:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2047332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>give us a proper Canadian website.

Even within the EU, it seems each country has its own requirements.

Those just look like your style. I would like a report on the height.
