| - While I am generally a fan of Nordstrom's, the clothing selection at our local branch, for both men and women, has left me thoroughly underwhelmed. The choices tend to be a bit older and more conservative. I may be a lawyer, but good God I do not want to dress like one all the time. However, if you need a polo shirt, this is your place.
That said, the shoe dept. is amazing. They have a full range of sizes and will order it for you if they do not have it in your size for free. I have child-sized feet, so this is super helpful as Nordstroms is often the only place I can find shoes in my size that do not prominently feature cartoon characters. I lurve me some hot shoes, and this place always has them.
The beauty dept is also pretty great. Heaven for a make-up queen like me! Nordstrom carries lots of brands, including some smaller beauty brands that are harder to find. The MAC counter here is the best in town - the staff are friendly and helpful. Though I am an ardent MAC girl, I often find myself standing in their branded stores unable to get anyone's attention...Not so at the Nordstrom's MAC counter. They also have a large fragrance section, though it lacks the depth one would hope for and mainly deals in major designer brands.
Finally, Nordstroms does have a really cool service tied to their website that is worth mentioning. If you find something on their website you can check to see if it is available in store. If it is, you can buy it online and pick it up in the store, totally avoiding shipping costs. This is a great feature for last minute gifts and can save a ton of time and legwork...which may be important b/c those beautiful shoes are not always made for walking...
