ever since i moved to the west coast, i never really got the whole nordstrom's thing. the clothes were too serious & i was always bored in the store so i stopped going there altogether. the catalogs continued to arrive & i would have fresh hope, but the clothes were still too serious, even on models with lots of hair flinging around in fake wind.
recently, things started to get a little more interesting in the nordstrom catalog. their latest catalog, august 2008, has pages of things i love.
nordstrom's has moved on.
good for them.
here are some of the things i would buy if i had $eleventy thousand.
Rag & Bone AW08/09
Via Spaga - purple patent peep-toe bootie
Ports 1961 AW08/09- faux fur necklace
Burberry
cloche with resin brooch by Flu's Ear
Alexander Wang AW08/09 - sweater vest with oversized collar (wool, acrylic, alpaca)
