Nordstrom's May Catalog

My May catalog arrived today and I've found lots of lovely things for summer!

Inside the front cover is a list of Nordstrom's favorites for the season:

1. the tank (yes, of course)

2. the tunic (like these too)

3. the bold dress (possibly)

4. the white watch (check!  $14 in the girls' dept)

5. the swimsuit (well, naturally...)

6. the pink bag (personally, I'm thinking tangerine with pink tulips, but, yes!)

7. denim shorts (not this mom... maybe ten years and three kids ago)

8. the aviator (could do... they're a classic)

9. flips flops (ab-so-lute-ly)

10. hoops (yes, yes, yes)

11. sheer color  (love)

12. the white bag (fabbie) that's one of my new words, thanks Jillle!

So, I am kind of loving these shoes on p. 28, (although I know I would need to see them on my foot).  The price point, however, is more in the range of what I'd consider for a very classic pair of shoes that I'd expect to wear for years and years or some classic boots.  Maybe on sale or a similar, lower priced brand.  (Note the gorgeous TB Kelsey I recently blogged about on the right page!)

Pour la Victoire snake-embossed "Ella" Sandal with zipper detail - in steel blue boa (picture directly above is from www.zappos.com - love their multi-views!) or vanilla boa (also on catalog page above).  Black is shown online.  $225.

This perfume is also featured:  I recently tried it on in-store and loved it!  I currently wear Prada Infusion d'Iris (alternating with Burberry Beat) and am a big fan of the citrusy Aqua di Parma which I have worn lots in the past but don't have a bottle right now.  I may get this one before too long.

Prada Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger 1.7 eau de parfum spray $74.  (They say this is inspired by the orange blossom note in Infusion d'Iris.)

I am also interested in checking out the Nars "Outsider" lipstick which they describe as a "glistening modern coral" and Nars "Belize" lip gloss which is described as "pale pink with specks of gold"... they both sound perfect for summer!
