Two Days Left






Forever Chic Style is comprised of three goals for reporting on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - highlight quality brands, suggest items heard of and or purchased by friends and review the star ratings. Each play a part in suggesting the item for your pleasure. After seeking out the best at this years Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, here is an update on what I actually purchased on sale.  And, of course, mention the items not on sale that I had to own. You knew this would happen.  Right!  I must also mention and highlight my new summer read.....

Lorena, like most of the other women in the ballroom, scrutinized Astrid from head to toe as she walked to her table wearing what appeared to be a crisp men's button-down shirt tucked into exquisitely cut navy-and-white gingham cigarette trousers.   "It's true, Astrid actually looks younger and younger every time I see her....  "It's how she puts it all together. The other girls her age are dressed up like Christmas trees but just look at Astrid...hair in a sleek ponytail, ballet flats, not a drop of jewelry except the cross...is it turquoise? And that outfit!  She looks like Audrey Hepburn on the way to a screen test" - Excerpt from Rich Peoples Problems  - Kevin Kwan



Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - ON SALE




I.  Bootie:  Aquatalia - 4 1/2 Stars by 44 Reviewers - Bought both black and taupe hues.  Made in Italy.  These have pointed toes and a low heel plus waterproof suede which equals supreme quality and comfort.  Last year, I snapped up a pair of  Aquatalia ankle boots that have a rounder toe and wore them non-stop.   Fit is true to size.  Can't wait to wear with a skinny pair of jeans. 




Aquatalia Franca Weatherproof Bootie $259 (after sale $395)

Astrid - An Understated an Glamorous Billionaire - Stealth Wealth

Eddie - Polar Opposite of Astrid - Example of Showy & So Nouveau Riche


Yesterday, when he had arrived with his family from Hong Kong, his executive assistant, Stella, had arranged a fleet of six matching Carpathian Grey Range Rovers, making for an impressive entrance as the Cheng famille pull up to the front door of Tyersall Park.... So, why were the Aakkaras pulling up in such a ragtag bunch of cars? - Excerpt from Rich Peoples Problems - Kevin Kwan

Nick Young - Memory

Nick looked down at his cup of tea.  The saucer was emblazoned with an image of  Queen Elizabeth II, and seeing the gold patterning at the edge of the porcelain suddenly took him back to a memory of Tyersall Park....when he was six years old, being taught how to properly pour a cup of tea.  - Excerpt from Rich Peoples Problems - Kevin Kwan
