I can't believe how much fun I had this morning!! And the deals, holy hell, the deals.
Thanks to Mavjen, I bought the Paige leggings with the leather on the front. I figure I can get a lot of wear out of them depending on the kind of top/shoes I wear.
I also bought amazing Tory Burch black leather riding boots (saved $200!!), a DVF wallet, a Kate Spade iPhone case, and a cute peplum-ish top that I can wear out and also to work if I wear a blazer/cardigan.
I am so glad that we don't have Nordstrom nearby right now. I could do some terrible damage there today. As it is I'm having a hard time not pulling the trigger on a Michael Kors watch.

Bimbi - they had the Paige leggings (about 6 pairs) at the Nordstrom at Woodfield, which unfortunately is right down the street from my office.
Nacho - I think every store is different, but I saw a lot of stuff at the store that was also online. Most of the things I had flagged in the catalog I did see in the store.
hz - the brown TB boots were gone in the store, and I got the last pair of Size 7 at the Woodfield Nordstrom. But the woman did say that they can order them, so long as they are still in stock somewhere.
MAV-Do you know if your bag was in store only? I was looking for a linky so I could start convincing him that I need it but I couldn't find a linky. And what color would say that is? I couldn't tell from your pictures. Is it a griege?
They can only order online for you, they can not ship from another store. As I found out when my North Face jacket was too small and is no longer available online in the color I wanted. It only took a half hour for them to figure this out.

Ditzy--I don't see it online at all. My Nordstrom personal stylist said it was sold out the first day of the pre-sale. I guess she meant all of Nordstrom?
Thanks. DH would never let me carry anything that is made with calfskin so that would just mean I'd half to get the large shoulder bag. because it just says it's leather. I wonder the small marcie is made of calfskin.
Ditzy--It's the only Chloe bag on sale, the other colors seem to regular price online. I would call Nordstrom and ask if they can locate one for you. I really hope you get your hands on one!
eta: Haha, I think the other Marcie small satchels are regular leather. I think that bag would look great on you. Although the large hobo Marcie bags are gorgeous too. You can't go wrong with either!
Nope. The nut and the black are both calfskin. I remember showing these to DH around Christmas and the first thing he said via IM was, "They're calfskin," followed by, "It's ugly." I think the second one was based on the fact that it was calfskin and the price.

I seriously felt so bad-ass when I put them on! But they can also be versatile, I think, depending on the top and/or shoes you pair them with. Plus, leather is sexy.

Is the sizing pretty standard would you say? Based on what it says online, I think I would do a small, but idk...

I wear a 4-6 and a 27-28 in jeans, and I sized up to a medium, and am glad I did. they run pretty small .

Okay, totally debating getting the leggings. Are the comfy? Flattering? I'm trying to figure out when I would wear them... I'm a SAHM but love date nights and LNO! Hmmm....
They are super comfortable!! The main reason I got the Paige leather leggings is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a muffin-top in them due to the smoothing and wide elastic waistband. They show a picture of it online, but on a skinny model. But trust me, they hold my gut in without any bulges and bumps. So, they are better than jeans to me.
They kind of fall down a little every so often, but I just hike them up, no big deal. I have a flat ass, so nothing to hold it up in the back.
Like RunForrest, I feel like a bad ass in them. MH's eyes popped out, he said to wear them only when I'm with him. He was kidding, but he definitely thought they were hot.
I agree with all of this! I also sized up to a M - I held up the S and there was NO way I would be able to squeeze myself into those without assistance. I would fear a Ross moment when he wore the leather pants on an episode of Friends.
