Denim Blue Street To Studio Pants, Cool To Street Tank
Really liking the STS’s in this outfit. Denim Blue has really grown on me.
What We Love is up!! I’m very glad I already have the Bali Breeze Cool Racerback because I love that color and it is a must have – glad I don’t have to spend the money after spending at the Nordstrom Sale. I’m not sure why they are re releasing it one year later without the color being varied in Heathered or print in any way. I like the Picnic Play Dress but that is US only and I really can’t justify a new dress anyways so I can’t be mad about that. I also like the Back Pack It Jacket, especially since it has Peacock Blue in it. I’m going to wait though because I know I’ll see a jacket at the Seawheeze Expo that I’ll like. I initially had the Peacock Run Stuff Your Bra on my wish list but I think I need to exercise willpower and not spend. If a CRB comes out in Peacock though all bets are off.
Alarming is back in full force! When it was out back in 2010/11 I didn’t get anything in that color but liked it. Then Love Red came out and I liked it a lot too but for some reason passed on the Tonka Striped CRB and really regretted it. I got the Alarming CRB last week and it is such a flattering coral red. I definitely recommend it if coral reds are up your alley. I gravitate more too cool based reds but corals are more wearable and flattering on me.
My purchases tonight where not in the activewear category but I thought I’d share my activewear picks for the sale to keep it blog relevant along with a few other categories I called ‘Gym Bag Essentials’ and ‘Apres Gym’. I listed the jeans I purchased in the ‘Apres Gym’. I am eyeing up those Alo ‘Airbrushed’ Capris though so I may need to go back for those in the morning. Did you get anything tonight? Did you add any of these items to your wish list for the open sale starting on July 17th?

As some of you may know, Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale Early Access starts tonight at midnight. I’m super excited about this as you can probably tell from my banner ads. I shop this sale every year and have done weekend trips to Seattle with my sister for this event. The ‘Early Access’ is obtained when you sign up for the Nordstrom card online which you can do for immediate approval. I almost always buy something from the Anniversary Sale during the general start date and have never had early access before. This year I have a pair of shoes I really want to get and they are high sell out/never on sale type of shoes so I got my Nordstrom Card last week. It makes more sense for me this year since Nordstrom is coming to Vancouver in the fall and so I’ll be able to use that card here in Canada as well – and payments are easily done online through your bank (you just set them up as a payee in US funds – I’ve confirmed this with TD Bank) The Anniversary Sale is when Nordstrom marks down new Fall items before they’ve been released so this is truly a worth it sale in my books – I got Frye Boots a few years ago for a steal.
If you are like me and like to keep a well stocked wish list you can preview some of the items that are going to hit the sale tonight. I’ve added a few here from the Women’s Activewear but I will be sure to do a post once the sale is live with ‘my picks’.
If you are ordering tonight, I’d love to hear what is on your wish list. I didn’t get a catalogue to look through but I’ve seen some sneak peeks shared online and I have an idea of what I want.

Hong Kong sure got a lot of goodies uploaded. Loving the Bali Breeze CRB, the Peacock Run Stuff Your Bra and the Bark Chocolate Studio Pants
Thankfully nothing I HAD to order this week. I’m on holidays (and still blogging the upload) so getting a lulu parcel this week would be highly inconvenient. That and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is coming up and I’ve got an earmark on the catalogue (maybe I’ll do a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post). I was tempted by quite a few items though, most of which were on the US side. The Narrow Bold Striped Wunder Under Pants, Bali Breeze Wunder Under Crops (a favourite color!), the City Summer Dress and Gator Green Define Jacket. Most tempting on the Canadian side for me was the Daya Knit Tank and the Iris Sweaty Or Not Jacket. I hope I can find that Daya Tank in stores in Portland to try on.
Another reason I held off ordering anything today was because I made a purchase at the Burlington outlet on Saturday. I found the Post Practice Cardi in Plum Peach in my size and I’ve always regretted not getting it in that color when it came out. Now that I have it I think it’s the most amazing lululemon item ever. If you are on the hunt for that, the Burlington outlet had two more size 10’s in this color and they do phone orders to US addresses.
Did you order anything tonight? Let me know in the comments what you got or what you loved/hated.
