Kate Spade at Nordstrom, Old Orchard Mall, North Shore Chicago.

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

A few blogs ago, we looked at Kate Spade’s 2010 fall collection. On a recent trip to Chicago’s North Shore Old Orchard mall, Nordstrom had plenty of Kate Spade accessories to choose from. The Knightsbridge Darcy (Muse) bag was as lovely in person as in the print ads.

 My "muse"

“There’s no place like home!” Kate Spade’s flats sparkle and are great walking shoes.

Kate Spade sparkles!

I  recently purchased Kate’s button studs in the amber stone. Very pretty and reasonably priced!

Pretty jewelry

Great selection

Lovely !

Shopping for UGG Boots? See what’s at Nordstrom at the Old Orchard Mall

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

This time of year as we’re shopping for fall/winter, many of us will have to store our strappy sandals and address footwear. We recently drove to the northshore of Chicago;  Nordstrom at the Old Orchard mall, has a fantastic display of the warm, comfortable UGG boots. There’s something here for everyone.

 Great UGGS

We’re diligent about extra water-proofing the sheepskin boots. They’ll last several years and take on a great patina look.

Great display

Look so comfty!

3.1 Phillip Lim preview of the Fall 2010 Collection at Nordstrom Michigan Avenue, Via C On Three on March 18

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Nancy is tiny and can wear his clothes beautifully. She is a huge follower of his work.Nordstrom Michigan Avenue March 18

Phillip Lim understands women. “Walking the razor’s edge between the old Bowery and the new Park Avenue, Phillip Lim creates a versatile, modern wardrobe for fall. He envisions a woman who is confident in her contrasts, ready for business, but always up for fun.”

At the preview party Thursday night, between the glitz, music, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and undeniable energy and excitement, it was apparent Phillip’s clothing touches a wide range of women who appreciate beautiful fabrics and exciting design.  The models were young, 6 feet and thin, but the attendees didn’t fit any particular profile of consumer. The customers were being fitted for his Fall line and putting in their orders. A follower of Phillip, Nancy Machonkin, is no bigger than a minute and his clothing compliments her age and body type. Many of the women present agreed: He brings flair to their wardrobe!

Nordstrom and Jimmy Choo. I’m in love!

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I received a catalog from Nordstrom introducing:

JIMMY CHOO

CHOO 24:7

The Collection

There’s HOPE gals!  The Jimmy Choo collection is offering beautiful shoes that we can wear without breaking our necks or developing calluses! Take the IRENA or ISABEL group for example. Hooray!

Go to:  WWW.NORDSTROM.COM/JIMMYCHOO

I was shopping with a friend at Nordstrom in Chicago last Fall and we were ready to splurge on fabulous shoes. We tried on shoes for 2 hours. The salespeople brought out pair after pair. Gorgeous shoes, but who could walk in them?  We couldn’t figure it out. You reach a certain age or just need to actually walk in your shoes and you start to acknowledge what the “high of high” heels are doing to your body. Are the women who can afford the fabulous shoes finding what they want? A gal can wear any shoe for an hour, but with foot and back issues, we’re starting to realize our wasted dollars on 4′” stilettos that sit in our closet.  Those beauties are for display, not for utility. (And that’s okay, but how many pair of those kind do we need?  Tee hee!)

Some friends will say they can wear any heel height, but it’s sad to see them barefoot. We need these feet for life. Let’s be kind to them. While I loved SATC, Carrie Bradshaw almost did us a disservice with running for blocks in her Manolo’s.  Is it realistic to expect there won’t be consequences?  It’s not that I don’t have a closet full of shoes, but I’ve become pickier as time goes by.  Comfort becomes a priority, otherwise, the shoes become a “donation.”

Check it out!
