WW(f&b)D with $300 Nordstrom giftcard?

I was gifted a $300 Nordstrom giftcard, and I literally don't know what to buy with it- shoes? A new bag? A nice coat?

I don't mind spending an extra $200 of my own money (so $500 total)- I do want something extravagant and something I wouldn't normally purchase on my own.

Here is what I have been thinking, but I'd love to hear some ideas/your wish list to inspire me:

1. Tory Burch Caroline flats (Camellia Pink)

2. Jimmy Choo shoes (all this Jimmy Choo talk, but I don't currently own a pair)

3. (insert bag here)

4. (insert high end/luxury item here)

5. (other ideas???) 

F&B- Please help me!!!

  • I like the Tory Burch Caroline Flats.  MBMJ and Michael Kors also have some great bags.  Personally, I'd put it toward my LV purse fund :).

    Does Nordstrom sell LV? 

  • Certain ones do.  They are not available online (I think) because of LV's policy to not sell online?  I may be wrong on this.  One of the SA at the store in DE told me they could order a bag from another store and bring it in if you know what you want.  When I eventually get my bag (this will be #2 for me) I will likely do this to save on sales tax.  
  • The Nordstrom on Michigan Ave in Cicago has an LV boutique

    I say don't spend your GC on something that may eventually go on sale.  The TBs are nice, but with friends and family sales, you can get them discounted anyway.  Good luck with your decision:) 

  • Here are some other ideas underd $500:

    Burberry quilted jacket ($495):

  • I would put it towards a Burberry trench or a new bag although my current lust bag is way more than $500 (Burberry belted hobo)
  • Save it for the Anniversary Sale!  That is unless you need something now :)
