Here are a list of items from surveying the Nordstrom Anniversary Catalog 2016 that are on my list. Nordstrom card holders can also order online starting July 14th or visit a store via an appointment with a sales associate. 

Forever Chic Style Raving Hot


Romance, Refined Wool Coat


Trina Turk - Officers Jacket - Coats
DVF Double-Breasted Coat & Mackage Wrap Coat - Coats and Encore

"Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory." - Coco Chanel

______

The Jacket & The Blouse
Veronica Beard - via C.
Not a fan of the jeans.   Do not invest in faded and ripped jeans if wanting to be a Forever Chic Style classics maven.  Instead chose skinny or straight leg dark denim that can be worn for years to come.  **Check in-store! Not online. 


 "You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it." - Edith Head
______


The Classic Sheath

Burgundy & Red are Hot for Fall 2016



Maggy London - Colorblock Scuba Sheath - Dresses & Encore



 And - Pumps

Gorgeous, Classic Pointed Toe Beauties in Cabernet  


Classic Pumps - Women Shoes
Love the Sam Edelman Tonia Pump - # 2 with a little bling!  The cabernet pumps and flats
are pretty too. 



"Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing." —Alexander Wang


______



The Bootie


Vince - Hallie Boot Limestone


Personally looking for a suede grey ankle boot. These are limestone but will search for grey and check out other colors. 

**Not online - check in-store. 



"Walk like you have three men walking behind you." —Oscar de la Renta


______


Everything Vince! 



Car Coat - Vince - Individualist


The Vince Wide-Leg Trousers are also spot on for fall. 




"Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live." —Gianni Versace


______


More Sassy Sweaters

Leopard Anyone!


Joie - Berit Sweater - Individualist


Eileen Fisher - Long Cascading Jacket - Individualist, Petite Focus, Encore



Halogen - Ribbed Knit Cashmere

***Not Online - In-Store. Check out attached link for a different Halogen look! 

"Attitude is everything." —Diane von Furstenberg



______


Menswear for Ladies 




Loafers & Oxfords - Womens Shoes



Love #1 (Sarto by Franco Sarto) and possibly #4 (Louise Et Cie).  Choose a pointed toe versus round toe.  Will have to personally check out and get back to final decision. 



"Whoever said that money can't buy happiness, simply didn't know where to go shopping." —Bo Derek



______



The Classic Jean



Rag & Bone Skinny Jean

Skinny jeans with a mid to high waist remain center-stage this fall.   Of course, a straight leg is always classic and a must for a fashion doyenne's closet.  Wide legs and boyfriend jeans are also in fad but often do not flatter a fashionista. Stick to skinny or straight and always look for a dark wash for autumn and winter. 



"I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity—all I hope for in my clothes. —Yves Saint Laurent



______


The Bra & Pajamas!
Stock Up



Look for Natori & PJ Salvage for Pajamas

 Natori bras and PJ Salvage pajamas are ideal for the fall and winter. 



"Playing dress-up begins at age five and never truly ends." —Kate Spade

______



Home Fragrances - Stock Up

Antica Farmacista! Lavendar is Always Sublime! 







"Fashions fade, style is eternal." —Yves Saint Laurent


______


My first assessment of the Nordstrom Anniversay 2016 sale via the catalog.   I hope this helps organize your thoughts based on your closet and wardrobe needs for fall 2016.  Stay tuned for another dissertation on the sale with live links!

White Shirtdress

  Elegance in White                                                          Diane von Furstenberg "The joy of dressing is an art." - John Galliano White is timeless in a well-designed shirtdress.  A white shirtdress signals spring and summer are around the corner. Wear this modest number throughout the warmer months. The effect is classic and memorable signifying elegance.    Today there is emphasis on quality apparel and minimalism in accessories.  The day of large and flashy logos are "out" and (frankly always have been), and instead there is a nod to quiet luxury.  Refined fashion leaders are following this fashion memo. The result is to notice the entire person and not the garish apparel piece or flashy accessory.  After all, old money fashion has always spoken volumes worldwide.  Why So Naked?  One burning question? " Why are women in media wearing skimpy outfits baring all?   This movement reeks of a desperation for attention.  In comparison, Audrey Hepb

Lily Pulitzer - Yellow Shift Dress

  Anything Lily - Lily Pulitzer That Is! "Being happy never goes out of style." - Lily Pulitzer Liquid sunshine is in vogue.   I love Lily Pulitzer dresses for spring and summer. I have several and wear them repeatedly.  The fabrication, fit and joyful prints are exceptional.  Envision wearing it on vacation or on the veranda enjoying a cocktail.   This Del Rey Stretch Shift Dress in tropical yellow is simply timeless.  Match with gold sandals, gold earrings and a touch of pink on the lips.  The outcome is sunshine magic.  Who doesn't want a little yellow fairy dust sprinkled on them? Who is Lily Pulitzer - You Ask? Pulitzer, an American entrepreneur in the 1950's, living a socialite life in Palm Beach, suddenly found herself at a loss of what to do next.  After all, you can only party and travel for so long before boredom sets in. She and her husband owned several orange groves in Florida. With her ingenious mind, she decided to open a fruit stand squeezing oranges
