Note: there were no new sale items this morning.
It’s a good thing there’s no Nordstrom in NYC. I can do more than enough budget damage visiting the store on my nationwide tour. All it took was a quick stop there with Carol and Kathryn from In Pursuit of Pretty Things to tempt me to spend thousands of dollars on beautiful items. Carol has a great recap of our night on the town in Los Angeles and I’ll add my own take after my upcoming trip to Colorado. (Really short version: Hollywood was awesomely quirky and meeting Carol & Kathryn was a sqee-worthy evening.)
While at the Nordstrom at the Grove, we spotted both the beautiful Miu Miu pumps you see in #4 above (another color option is shown in #5) and the Marc Jacobs Baby Aiden bag populating spots 2 & 3. If I could ever justify spending $700 on shoes those might be the ones. With both color options of both products enticing me deeply; and with Carol letting me know that the Miu Miu pumps are about to come out in patent leather, the only thing pumping faster than my heart is my bank account.
Another variation of seeing double comes in the lovely aqua color of the Preen dress in #1 and the Kate Spade shoes in #6, which seem affordable compared to the rest of my June wishlist! The dress desire was kindled after seeing Emma Stone rock it on a recent red carpet, as shown in the Polyvore below.
The shoes Ms. Stone actually wore with the dress are these Louboutins but honestly is anyone looking at the shoes? What an amazing dress. I love the color palette grounded in crisp hues. It’s cool without being icy. I don’t get fashion lemmings from stars often but this look has me making major grabby hands. I’m also smitten with this in-the-same-vein floral dress ($208) from Asos. And this unrelated but spectacular Sue Wong Beaded Flapper Dress ($550) — I just need an event to wear it to. What do people have against ostriches these days? Seems like the poor birds are being plucked and ducked to line our purses and dresses more than ever.
Luckily the month is half-over and I’m on the road for most of it so I should be able to resist temptation. What’s tempting you this month? Are you (like me) already starting to dream of fall clothing? Summer is my toughest dressing season.
Love the dress!On an unrelated note: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GETTING EA MOBILE!!! Looks great, and I'm so glad I don't have to wait forever for stuff to load anymore 😀
Did anyone see the Verdant dress in the new greyish blue colourway?

Love that dress. Couldn't walk in those Louboutain's if my life depended on it (bad knees)
@Tina — of course!To all — I think enabling the mobile template caused me to lose Intense Debate comments. They should be back soon!!
Beautiful dress, but a little bit serious. The color is to die for, though!That's what I am missing on Anthro clothing: whimsy!
I -just- decided to get that Marc Jacobs bag as a 25th birthday gift to myself! Spooky. I so want the faded mauve. I am going to Nordstroms this week to visit in in person. 😉
Consider me super-duper jealous. Happy Birthday!!!
Thanks, Roxy! It's in a few weeks so I'm saving right now. ;)Though one thing about the bag – I've heard conflicting reports but I think it's faux leather or at least faux ostrich. I was rather hoping it was fake to be honest as I'm a vegetarian hoping to phase out as much leather from my life as I can. I still love a nice looking handbag though, so this sounded perfect in theory.
Roxy – All your choices are so fantastic! And I'm right there with you, dying over the shoes and the handbag. Love! (And thanks for getting the comments working again).Alissa – I'm pretty sure that handbag is made of faux leather, that's embossed with the ostrich print. Would explain the very reasonable price point on an MbMJ handbag too. 😉
