A catalog for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale showed up in my mailbox last week.

Woo-hoo!

Sadly, this event is a highlight of the year, particularly when the stars align and designer stuff I already want goes on sale.

Except this year’s catalog didn’t really trip my trigger. 

Not even the beauty deals, to which I am particularly susceptible.

I guess this is a good thing.

I am still keeping my fingers crossed that these Stuart Weitzman shoes will go on sale:

My friend P. wore them to my house for our recent cocktail party and I have to tell you, they are even more smashing in person.

She wore them with an LBD and a candy-colored necklace, and the colors of the shoes really popped. The heel is also high but not-too-high, which is a plus.

Don’t let me down, Nordstrom!
