Hi Susie, it so not to hear from you.

Sounds like you are well prepared Angie! Your enthusiasm just makes me excited too. Don't think I'm Level 4 by any means (no catalog for me) but excited for the 14th.
Looking forward to your post tomorrow. Do you know what time the sale goes live online (perhaps that's in your information tomorrow, so happy to wait for the post). Not much on my list but I really could use another pair of Aquatalia booties for our rainy winters. Not really sure of the offerings- do you think it best to call my salesperson and have whatever in my size held? Not really sure how that works.
Angie, rest up and enjoy the hunt!

I am excited even though I will not be buying anything from the NAS. I just have fun watching. Looking forward to seeing what everyone orders and I always enjoy Angie's top picks.

Nice to see you, Susie. Have a great sale.

Muffin, SA's don't hold NAS items. Make a preselection appointment with a SA or shop online this week with your Nordies card.

Thank you for the intel!

Focus. Focus. Focus. My mantra for the next 3 weeks;-) Last year, my appointment was in the first couple days of pre-selection. This year, I postponed it until next Tuesday the 19th so I will hopefully have a list of the items I would like to try, rather than just grabbing EVERYTHING that catches my eye.

I imagine that, like last year, there will be a few follow-up orders as your top picks come out and everyone models their goodies. Focus. Focus. Focus.

wish you a successful NAS Angie!
See you when the frenzy stops!

You know how to make the very most of our Nordie's sale, Angie. You clients are very fortunate to have you -- for your skill and your warm presence. Cheering you on!

I'm looking forward to the top picks list.

The fitting rooms must be an absolute madhouse !

A question , and just out of curiosity - and please anyone jump in here to save Angie from another iPhone ding from me How are the levels determined ? (i.e. the mythical Level 4 I keep hearing about). By how much you've spent on their credit card in the past year ?

Lisap - it's my understanding that it is based on how much you spent the prior year. I'm not sure what it takes to be a level 4 but I'm sure it's enough that I'd be in trouble in multiple areas.

NAS was always fun before, but NAS with YLF is the BEST. It's so much fun to see what everyone finds, and Angie's picks along with member photos are incredibly valuable in focusing on the real gems. A number of past NAS pieces are much loved workhorses in my closet thanks to YLF influence.

Have fun Angie! I can hear your engines revving from here!

I didn't know Level 4 received even earlier access this year. I think that's a pretty nice perk for such good customers! Classy Nordstrom! I will be waiting until the 14th to shop.

My mom gifted me a gift card for my birthday this year which she specifically wants me to use on a new winter coat during NAS so I hope I find something good. My previous coat has seen better days.

I also usually get a good pair of flats during NAS. Hoping for something metallic...

I also could use a new pair of flat riding boots, but I won't hold my breath.

I also need to refresh my bras, which I do annually as NAS.

I also really like the floral Halogen sweater I bought last year; hoping for something similar this year.

Maybe another Ted Baker tee... stop me now.

Oy vey. $$$

Lisa, the levels are determined by annual spend. Level 4 is 10k+ annually.

thanks Marianna - I guess I could have looked it up myself .....;)

Lisa, no worries. I worked Nordies CS for years so it's second nature.

Good luck to all!!

This year I need to be extra careful with purchases but I think I am getting excited about NAS too, I'll just be carefully excited if that is possible.
Today I went to Nordstrom's for some alterations and I got to look at a bit of the shoe department NAS. They had some lovely OTK suede boots and the SAs told me that there were several styles of PG on sale. If I get another good pair of PGs and some nice OTK boots I will be happy.
I will be excited to read your post for tomorrow.

Good luck, and enjoy the madness, Angie!

Angie maybe ou can pick this up for Sam at NAS. From your birthday posting it's clear that he likes hedgehogs. I actually have one of these from many years ago, the face is not quiet as "cute". I imagine Sam would wear it out a lot faster than I have.

Wishing you good luck and high energy, Angie--hope your feet stay happy for the duration!

I can't wait for your picks, Angie! I was new to YLF around this time last year, and learned so much from (and was so overwhelmed, confused and excited by) your detailed posts. Looking forward to that excitement (without the confusion) of reading this year's picks, even though I won't be shopping this time. Hope you have some yummy snacks on hand, and a foot massage scheduled for the end.

I will forever associate your picks with the time I met you the morning after, after all the pre selections, having published in the middle of the night, looking fresher than a daisy, bursting with energy. You made an indelible impression that always makes NAS special for me.

You are ALL lovely. And you make me laugh.

Chris, Sam approves of his toy. Thank you.

Jaime, what a sweet thing to say. (((HUGS))).

I AM OFF TO GET READY FOR THE NAS. Catch you on the forum. Good hunting!

I hope this is the right place to post. This is the first time I've posted here. I'm going to visit my local nordstrom tomorrow to meet with a stylist but I look forward to seeing things online and reading about everyone else's finds. My goal this year is to focus on replacements and things that fit well and make me feel good.

I'm 5'5" size 8/10
On my list:
Nice fitting mid rise, straight leg denim.
Nice fitting mid rise, straight leg casual pants in tan(cognac/camel or burgandy)
Interested to try on the Doce Vita Sierra Bootie and the Lucky boot in sesame. But I would also like to find a solid cognac loafer of sorts.
Unique flattering white shirt - no ruffles or bows I don't think.
New bras! I like the Natori's t-shirt bra looks promising.
Camel Cardigan

Still working on defining my style - I'm a late 40's working mom who can wear the same thing to work that I wear outside of work. Kind of a no fuss gal but would still like to feel pulled together. So I admire those of you who have figured it out! One of these days!

I've been scarce on the forum lately because of work/life issues, but clearly it's time to dive back in. I saw the NAS forum appear today (thanks for that) so I'll definitely be following Angie's and others picks, since I've had zero time to look myself!

My mom, sister, and I are going tomorrow night. We have been going as a trip to the same fabulous sales associate for years. It's a fun day for all of us!

Stay well, Angie. Stay hydrated and energized with plenty of breaks for tea and cakes. I am looking forward to your picks and seeing Fabbers modeling their finds on the Forum.

I'm on my way to NAS for the first time! I was very lucky to time a visit to the US with the sale. I'm staying with my brother and SIL in Denver and get to visit early access with her. So excited!

I look forward to your NAS Insights every year Angie, thanks for all your hard work and have fun shopping with your clients (and for yourself too).
