There was a nice-looking brown and black mixed media Eileen Fisher topper in the NAS catalog -- did you see that? EF usually doesn't work great for me, but I'd be tempted to try that.

Anna, Seattle is the LAST to receive their NAS catalogues. Hectically ironic, isn't it?

Ooooh. I LOVE what I see in plus sizes. Thanks, Desmo. So Chic.

Oooooooh. And the return of brown will be fresh. I am ready to incorporate more rich cognac brown accents into my style.

Woooohooooo. Getting very excited. xo

Impatiently waiting for my catalog......

Perusing the interwebs to see if anyone had scanned in a copy of the catalog, I found a great NAS thread on purseforum.com. There folks are listing item #s for NAS items. Example: you can see the Aquatalia NAS boots by searching 801466, 801461, and 801460 on Nordstrom's site. Although Nordies shows them as unavailable and without price, the forum thread is listing prices along with item #s. The link to the forum thread is below.

FYI...
$279.90 - 801466
$299.90 - 801461
$359.90 - 801460

I am SO not ready for this. I feel like summer just started, and I'm loving my white jeans, white bermuda, white chinos and sandals, sandals, sandals.

In denial.

I just got mine yesterday. The quilted stuff and the boots are all that really called to me. But I always find more in store. One thing I've learned is not to panic if stuff is gone, because much of it gets returned later.

Specifically I'm obsessing over the Obsession boots, depending on how tall they really are...

Janet.....I can't wait to see that EF topper.....love it when brown and black are together and EF fits me well.

You and me both, AG. Those Obsession boots are the first things I want to see. If the measurements listed are correct, they could be perfect for me. Hope calf circumference is no more than 14"...smaller would be better.
Here's description on Nordies site:

  • 1 1/2" heel (size 8.5).
  • 15 1/2" boot shaft; 14" calf circumference. Stretches to fit calf.
  • Side zip closure.
  • Breathable microfiber lining.
  • Weatherproofed calfskin upper/textile lining/rubber sole.
  • By Aquatalia by Marvin K.; made in Italy.
  • Salon Shoes.

Yes, everyone says they are good for skinny calves! Thanks for the links and measurements. I am worried they will be too tall, unless the height decreases a little with foot size.

The SA I shopped with last summer just called me and set up my appointment -- can't wait! He's so good -- he is already scoping out things he thinks I'll like. He really seems to get me, which is great. He also told me to email him with the items I'm really interested in, so he can hold my sizes for me. Hooray for Nordies SAs!

Janet, yes the EF topper is gorgeous! I really need a suit and other business clothes, so I'm hoping the plus size has something in that sphere - the preview was more casual. I'll definitely try on the blue dress. But as others have said, there will be more in store and I have an appt on July 10!

Finally got mine today!

I like the VC leopard clutch but I suspect it'll be that hairy texture I dislike the feel of. Mackage coat is gorgeous too.

There is a pair of gold zipper boots on p41 but they are Steve Madden so I suspect the quality is subpar.
