But with big hopes I always order something else when I see Angie's top picks, but I wanted to make sure to be able to try the Paul Green ballet flats in metallic. I was happy to be able to order those in two sizes. Then I picked up two 100% cotton items, a pair of poplin pjs and a cardi. I wanted to add another John Hardy bracelet to my stack of two, but it sold out in my size on the first day. Will stalk! Happy NAS to all!

Looks nice. I also like finding the 100% cotton items.

I was also shut out of something I particularly wanted to try, so will stalk as well. There were a few other things that were also sold out that I was on the fence about, so I will take that as a sign to move on from them. I find the reaction I have when it's not available pretty telling, so if I'm not a little bummed it was sold out, I won't bother stalking that item.

Can't wait for a review of the cardigan!

Cute picks overall!

Great finds and I hope they work for you. I also aways end up ordering more when Angie comes out with her finds.

Nice picks, Laura. Pretty pajamas. I hope everything works for you. I decided not to place an order last night and am heading into the store this morning instead. Fingers crossed!

echoing Roberta --super cute jammies!
and you can't go wrong with a good cream cardi and metallic flats

Laura! The PG ballet flats are GORGEOUS for our type of low volume feet. Supportive, pretty, comfy, great fit, and dripping with quality. If they were white - they would be mine. I wore the PG size 4 well. It's a top pick

I hope your bracelet comes back into stock!

I am personally recommending the Monica Vinader bracelet, since you mix metals. A sustainable jewellery designer from the UK who promises a lifetime warranty on her items. I have a gold version with a big pearl, and it's KILLER AWESOME!

The ballet flats look really nice. Such a classic, flattering style, and if the fit is as perfect for you as some of my Paul Green shoes are for me, they could be favorites for years to come.

Oh, Angie, that Monica Vinader bracelet has MY name on it, and I hadn't noticed it before.

This always happens, though, as you suggest, Laura, when Angie's recommendations come out at start of the public sale!

Thanks for the positive reinforcement! I'll keep an eye for a restock of the Monica Vinader bracelet, Angie. What would NAS be without some items to stalk, ha!

I just acquired some Paul Green leopard print loafers and they are super comfortable. I hope your shoes are just as good (or better!). I do like the John Hardy bracelet Angie posted too.

Yes, Paul Green is a brand that I love but that I find pricey, so it's the perfect NAS buy. Fingers crossed they work! I agree, they could be instant workhorses. And yes, I'll take either one of those bracelets, Jaime! I hadn't noticed the Monica Vinader one either, but now I'm keeping an eye on it.

Update that I checked this morning and there was one Monica Vinader bracelet available. I nabbed it! Talk about a stroke of luck. For anyone else interested, keep checking. Thanks for the recommendation, Angie! I'm so excited

As a fellow metal mixer, I love that bracelet. So, so glad you got it, Laura.

Thanks for sharing the photo of your bracelet in action. Gold, pearls - what could be more Angie? And the scale of the bracelet works perfectly on your dainty wrists!

Received my order and I'm keeping everything!

LOVE the bracelet. Might remove two links or might leave as is. Will wear for a while and decide later.

LOVE the ballet flats. Keeping in the larger of my two sizes.

LIKE the Caslon sweater. I can see why it's not a top pick, but it's just cute enough and will be a good layering piece for our climate.

LIKE the pajamas. The print is fantastic. The poplin isn't as nice as Lands' End poplin PJs, but the fit is good. Might grab another set if available.

That's it from my short & sweet NAS. Happy with my purchases. Special thanks to you Angie for the bracelet recommendation. Pics of updated bracelet stack for reference

That is certainly a sweet NAS with all those lovely successes. The bracelet is beautiful, and the whole stack is really gorgeous. I had noticed how pretty those pajamas are; glad to hear you like them.

KILLER bracelet, Laura! I'm gloating because I suggested it - and thanks for the kind words about my own

It's the most perfect refined chunky link! Perfect on your pretty hands.
