What Melissa Is Actually Eyeing in the Anniversary Sale
Her personal wish list: the coats, boots, and one long-awaited dupe she could not keep to herself.
The type edits are how LISH shops for you. This is how Melissa shops for herself. These are the pieces from the Anniversary Sale that made her stop scrolling, organized the way her brain actually works: outerwear first, then shoes, then the athleisure she lives in between filming days. Some of these belong to one style type, some belong to everyone, and her reactions are kept exactly as she wrote them, so you know when a piece is speaking your language.
AllSaints Sofi Leather Bomber Jacket: $399.99, after sale $649. Buttery, broken-in energy from day one. For the CEO and the Icon both.
rag & bone Archer Leather Jacket: $699.99, after sale $1,098. The investment leather on my list: nearly $400 off, and the cut is forever. CEO energy.
Andrew Marc Violet Leather Trench Jacket: $299.99, after sale $450. Melissa's note, word for word: obsessed with this one. A leather trench in that color is a whole personality, and $300 for it is theft.
Cinq à Sept Louisa Cotton Blend Jacket: $283.99, after sale $425. The denim-days blazer: tailored enough to mean it, relaxed enough to live in. Editor to her bones.
CeCe Oversize Single-Breasted Blazer: $159.99, after sale $250. The oversize blazer slot solved under $160. Also in black.
CeCe Leopard Print Jacket: $159.99, after sale $250. Same great cut, in leopard, which is a neutral if you are an Icon.
Avec Les Filles Oversized Coat with Detachable Scarf: $179.99, after sale $278. The coat and its scarf arrive as a set, which is the outfit doing its own styling.
Avec Les Filles Floral Jacquard Layered Bomber: $139.99, after sale $218. Hello, Icon. A floral jacquard bomber with built-in layers, wearing its own story.
Avec Les Filles Zebra Jacquard Layered Bomber: $139.99, after sale $218. The same idea gone zebra, for the day you feel it.
Via Spiga Faux Fur Bomber: $179.99, after sale $260. Glamour you can throw over jeans.
Via Spiga Faux Fur Vest: $139.99, after sale $210. The vest version reminds Melissa of Rachel Zoe back in the day, and she means that as the highest compliment there is.
Bernardo Faux Fox Fur Vest: $129.99, after sale $209. The taupe is the one. Fur vest energy at $130.
The North Face Diamond Peak Quilted Long Vest: $127.99, after sale $170. The practical one on my list: water repellent, long line, zero fuss. Minimalist approved.
Vince Drape Sweater Coat: $464.99, after sale $698. Also in the Minimalist edit, and on my own list too. Some coats you buy once and thank yourself for years.
Bernardo Etta Slouch Bootie: $249.99, after sale $368. The slouch boot of the season done in leather that earns it.
BCBG Dalles Kitten Heel Scrunch Bootie: $69.99, after sale $109. The sexier heel of the two, and it is seventy dollars.
Arezzo Sabrina Slouch Boot: $149.99, after sale $229. The third option, and honestly the classiest of them: this one reads rich.
Lucky Brand Hybiscus Knee High Boot: $149.99, after sale $229. A rare color you almost never find in a knee-high boot, in regular, wide, and extra-wide calf.
Hunter Original Tall Waterproof Rain Boot: $109.99, after sale $190. The rain boot. Eighty dollars off and it outlives everything.
Donald Pliner Lucynda Kitten Heel Flip Flop: $119.99, after sale $188. Unique and cool for warm-weather fall: a flip flop on a kitten heel, and it works.
BCBGeneration Zorie Faux Fur Bit Mule: $54.99, after sale $99. In Melissa's words: I have been waiting for a fur Gucci mule dupe. Here it is: fur, gold bit, fifty-five dollars. Same energy. Smarter spend.
Varley Tidewell Cotton Jacquard Cardigan: $99.99, after sale $148. Melissa's note: this entire look, honestly.
Varley Knowles Texture Knit Sweater Vest: $64.99, after sale $98. The other half of the look. Wear them together and errands become an outfit.
Zella Live In High Waist 7/8 Leggings: $39.99, after sale $59. The legging with a decade-long fan club, under $40. And Zella's full anniversary drop is worth a scroll of its own: Nordstrom's house activewear label keeps quietly beating brands at three times the price.
The Lola blanket. Melissa's verdict: we can touch it, we can feel it, and it is still too expensive. That is the whole discipline of this sale in one sentence: loving something is not the same as buying it. If the price is not right, the answer is not yet.
That is Melissa's actual list, reactions and all. If one of these made your heart rate change, you already know which style type is talking.
