Looks like a decent assortment. Better than last year! I don’t have huge needs but am usually looking for cool coats and jackets, and boots. But I will also get more Wit & Wisdom jeans. I don’t have the credit card and don’t plan to get it this year, so I have to wait and see what’s available when I can shop.

I also look at bags and (not “real”) jewelry but not much caught my eye.

There is some other stuff but this stuff is already in finds:

Thanks for this thread, Tanya! It's really helpful to see what's catching everyone's eyes. I am in the strange position of shopping for sandals at NAS, haha. With no need for boots or sweaters or outerwear, it does make it easier to sort through the selections! Here are a few things on my radar. I have learned to wait and see Angie's picks before making purchases, as she inevitably turns up fantastic items that I don't notice in the preview.

Ha, Christina -- I also collected that Sam Edelman Teddy coat. Surprise, surprise....

I’ve only had a fast 1st look, but these are the early things that caught my eye
the chocolate “leather” jacket has a rich and expensive feel, of course the devils in the details, and i wonder what its like IRL
and i like the color of these 2 sweaters, but unsure if I’d actually wear it
and this Rand & Bone sweater is a nice sort of athleisure piece

After collecting too much in my Wish List, I’m trying to weed out the Imaginary Life items. When would I wear those faux leather dresses? I collected two (2) of them!

DonnaF, where is the laugh button?

Having had a chance to page through the US offerings (only a small fraction of which we will see in Canada) my sense is that it's all about the 90s! Ditsy prints, combat boots, plaid in coats and jackets, mixed plaids. Lots of black. Oversized. And so on.

I found lots of stuff to like, but of that stuff, which do I need or want? Off to create a shopping strategy for fall and for that I will re-read Angie's strategy post.

Things that caught my eye -- few, if any of which, I'll buy.

That plaid Sam E coat is mine if it’s offered here .

Also - for anyone looking at the Jenny Bird earrings ( the door knocker ) , they are a little on the heavier side . Not bad , but if you have delicate earlobes or piercing that are low on the lobe ( age , stretching over the years etc) - you might not find these will work .

LisaP, thank you. My earlobes (overweighed by 80s statement earrings) will thank you! They are awfully nice looking, though!!

I've been through the preview twice now - all 50 pages of women's! - and still people are posting things I didn't see. How does that happen? Either way, I've collected far too many items, but I don't doubt that the things I want most will be sold out before I have a chance to buy. Fortunately, the things I want tend to go even lower in price soon after NAS, so there's that.

Wow, so many amazing items, and fun to see individual styles coming through items selected. If I were to participate in NAS, this jacket would be on the top of my list - a Smythe puff sleeved blazer in a nice wool and linen mix, good for my warmer climate.

I'm enjoying my fantasy life for a few more days, before I get serious about my wardrobe needs. These two coats look so luxurious.

My favorites so far....

I would have added the door-knocker earrings but Lisap's note about weight has made me back off.

Kathie, I like the hooded coat, too.


Suz, I like the red plaid jacket, too, and the Black Watch coat, of course.

I like the Riley sweater Suz posted. Fits the monochrome scheme I like to always have some of. Just for inspiration.
