Meanwhile in Canada...

The latest from my SA: they wouldn't let her put stuff aside yet (before the sale started) but she is going in early on Friday to put aside my stuff and order the stuff from the other stores. Crossing fingers this works out. I added the Vince turtleneck since it is no longer available online.

Suz, I bought this Vince top in both the black and grey (not sure why it's called espresso - definitely more grey than brown). I think they are both going to get a ton of wear this winter.

Good luck!

Angie, is the grey as brownish/greenish toned as it looks in the photo? I thought it wouldn't be a cool enough grey for me based on the pic.

I love my Vince boatneck tees from several years ago; they are a staple in my closet.

Angie, your bossiness is my BEST!! I love it when you boss me around.

When you get really bossy you are always right.

Thanks for the update Suz. I haven't got round to calling Nordies yet. I think I'll drive downtown after work today get somebody on the ground to help.
Your SA sounds great.
I have the feeling all your investigation is going to pay off.

Smittie, her name is Samia (I might have the spelling wrong) and she is in the Designer Collections department. I don't think she is at work today. But she has been helpful so far for sure!

Your NAS approach is very wise Suz. I am sitting this out this year but I may follow your example next year. Taking notes here!
I hope all your choices work out in the end - and yes, don't we all just LOVE when Angie gets bossy on us?

Sveta, if you are NAS-ing next year we are doing it together in TORONTO!!!!

We are going to go and meet a SA somehow beforehand and do some discussion about methodology. Does this not make sense?

Sveta and Suz - can I crash your party? That sounds like such fun!!

Okay, I ordered the turtleneck. I thought it was brown.

Sure, Roxanna, but I warn you. Shopping with Sveta is an undertaking! That woman knows her stuff and she channels Angie big-time for shopping trips. No nonsense in the change room. You will not be keeping anything that is not fab. But you will be trying on a LOT of stuff.

Count me in to crash the Toronto party next year.
It is so lovely that you got a great SA.
Hope you get what is on your wish list.

You're on And Suz, I can't wait to see your purchases on!

The SA I've been working with found me 15 of the 25 items I had on my wish list. Nine of them are available from the Ottawa store and 6 can be ordered from Calgary or Vancouver. I'm going to finalize my list, have her book me an appointment Friday and get things ordered before they sell out. Here's hoping

Crossing fingers for you, Kerry -- that is great! Whoo hoo!

Wow, Kerry. You rock, and are far more organized than I am!
Good luck on Friday. I will channel good vibes to the Rideau centre.

I really want you to get it in grey too, Suz;-)

And I'm holding thumbs that your very helpful SA will be able to get all the stuff you want for you on Friday!

...so I narrowed down my list to 1 thing: The Trina turk in the finds.
I called Nordstrom Ottawa, got Samia in the Designer collections dept., and it's not going to be available in Canada!
So I'd have to buy it online, and then returns is going to be a pain. Drat!
I will continue to monitor NAS for grippy boots and possibly a thick puffer.
(Also looking at the Bay :)).

Thanks for giving me the info about the SA, Suz.

@smittie - DRAT!! I need a new winter coat so badly and was being tempted by this one. Do you know if the military one will be available?

Anonymous

Yes, the military one IS available.

What a bummer, Smittie. That's a real shame. Maybe you can get some good info on that coat from Angie and others who have seen in person and it might be worth a call to Customer Service to discuss fit.

Suz, I am in for the next year if we can make it happen for both of us!
Even if I won't be buying anything I would not want to miss the fun!

OK, we HAVE to do YLF meetup in Toronto for NAS next year, just HAVE to! Start planning ladies...
