I was trying to get my J Crew posts up but I lost my camera-to-iPad connector so while I search for that I thought I’d share some faves from the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.

Here’s a bonus Shoes-day review. I bought the Vince Camuto Driston Espadrille in Dusty Camel while in San Diego. I ended up wearing them almost the entire time as they went with everything I brought and were pretty comfortable for walking around all day. The Dusty Came is a metallic gold and what I really love about them is the sole is completely rubber and not a jute/rubber mix. With the mix, if I step in water the jute swells up and it feels uneven when you walk. I sized up half a size to a 7 1/2. My feet were probably a little swollen from walking around but they still fit comfortably now. I’d order in that size if I bought any other colors.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

Here are some IRL pics of the Driston Espadrille.

I’ve tried on the Tory Burch Lucia Wedges before (review). Now the wedges and flat are on sale!!

I love the green floral print from Kate Spade. That’s probably because it reminds me so much of the J Crew Punk Floral print, one of my absolute favorite prints from J Crew. Now a lot of the Kate Spade items are on sale.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
My favorite is the Blooms Marit Pencil Skirt but the most practical purchase would be the Spring Blooms iPhone case. But the dilemma with the Kate Spade items is they are also on sale at katespade.com and you can take 25% off sale items this weekend. I’m not too familiar with Nordstrom’s price matching. Would they honor the 25% off as well? Their prices are lower before the discount but then Kate Spade, with the discount, is lower than Nordstrom. But, most of the sizes are gone at KS, probably due to the % off.

I love going to our neighborhood Ladies Luncheon’s. I don’t get to go every month but I made it a point to go today because I hadn’t been since the fabulous Christmas luncheon.

I wore pants today, and old ones too. These are from at least J Crew 2007. Anyone remember these? I have the same pair in a beautiful green. These fit perfectly everywhere, except the length. The sizing is a 6S, meaning S is for Short. Probably short for a person who is 6 foot but not for someone who is 5’2”. AND, I’ve never taken them to get hemmed. It’s about time I did that because I really like these pants.

Pants: J Crew Favorite Fit in White, 6S
Cami: J Crew Tulip Ruffle Cami in Dragonfly Blue, 8
Jacket: Old Navy Cropped Denim Jacket in White, M
Shoes: Vince Camuto Estera, 6 1/2 (not online anywhere yet…more info below)
The pants are so long they cover the entire shoe!

About the shoes…I found these Tuesday at Nordstrom’s. One of my other need/want items was a pair of Leopard sandals, preferably an espadrille or wedge. I saw some CL Carino Leopard Espadrilles on ebay but his espadrilles do not fit me well, probably because they are whole sizes only. So, these Vince Camuto’s just came in Monday evening and I was smitten when I saw them. I walked around the mall for a bit but kept thinking back to those lovely shoes. Since I parked by Nordstrom’s I knew I would have to walk back by them so when I did, I tried them on. The sales associate also brought out my new Black Glitter TOMS and I’m so glad she did.

Anyway, they are a sky-high, sling-back, wedge, espadrille-ish, peep-toe LEOPARD sandal. What more could a girl ask for?

These leopards are sky-high. 
1 1/2 in. platform
4 3/4 in. heel
Size 6 1/2 (The 7s were loose on me at the front of the shoe.)
Price $117.95
Similar in style to the Edon.
It does have a skinny heel, for those of you who have problems walking in that type of shoe. I wore these for about three hours today without any problems. I stumbled only once but I do that in flats. I have to say they are pretty comfortable and even though they were high, I didn’t have any altitude sickness (haha) or issues with walking in them or it affecting my stride. You know you’ve seen those ladies walking in sky-high heels taking baby steps so they don’t tip over. They came in a light gray leather and one other color. Not sure when they’ll be online at Nordstrom’s or the Vince Camuto site. 
Have a great evening!
