is it summer yet?

the days that i find a nordy’s catalog in the mailbox are always fun, but today was especially exciting. while it is the january catalog, everything in it is for weather approximately 30 degrees warmer than seattle’s current forecast. boo.

however, i am really excited to see some amazing spring/early summer fashion. i just wish i could wear it now. i seriously want the ENTIRE catalog!

let’s peruse my favorites, shall we?

{the colors, the drape, those stripes!}

{hello gorgeous, chic carry-all!}

{i adore stripes, can you tell?}

{my closet needs more color.}

{i NEED to wear this outfit.}

{a drapey jersey dress gets me every time. bonus: stripes!}

are you lusting after summer clothes yet?

from nordys to my front door.

the. same. day. WAHOO!
(via nordstrom)

i just got an email from nordys that i (luckily) live in one of the neighborhoods that will have same day delivery service! even though i live a single bus ride away (yes, i can get on the bus a half-block away from my townhouse and arrive 15 minutes later right in front of the flagship nordys store) i am still ecstatic that i about the prospect of ordering something in the morning & finding it at my front door hours later.

this was too wonderful not to share!

the nordstrom half-yearly sale.

it comes just twice a year, and though not as amazing as the infamous anni sale, i do love the half-yearly sale at nordys.

here are the sale items i am lusting after:
