Nordstrom Rack is a great place to go and find what the store Nordstrom offers but at semi…read morediscounted prices. I think it's important to note that when you go in here, you're not gonna find really cheap prices. The prices are still up there. They're just a little bit less than you will find in the actually Nordstrom store and/or Nordstrom online. For me, the main reason I like Nordstrom Rack is their selection of shoes. They have a really big selection of shoes, particularly tennis shoes. They truly have a large amount of all of the name brands. And again, at semi discounted price prices. They're not cheap, but they are below what you would have to pay at the regular Nordstrom stores or most other sporting goods retailers. In terms of clothing, they have a lot of it. They have both a large selection of men and women's clothing. It's truly a vast amount. I don't usually find clothes that catch my eye at this store, but my wife always seems to find something. So, that may let you know of the mindset of the people who shop here. For men, they have a nice selection of suits, sport coats, slacks, and dress shirts. But, they're not exceptionally good deals. Personally, I prefer to go into a shop that is more devoted to those things when I buy such items. For my wife, however, she commonly finds nice dresses, tops, and also, shoes. She too, is a big fan of their shoe department. The one thing I will say is that if you want to get a nice pair of Doc Martens, this is a great place to buy them. They seem to discount Doc Martin's more than they do their other name brand shoes. This is just something to think about. Overall, if you want some high-end clothing, and/or shoes, and/or jewelry, and/or a little bit of anything else that Norstrom offers, this is a good place to purchase it.

I went to the dressing room and the attendant asking me how many items I had, I told them, and they stopped and made me let them count and leave the pack of socks I was carrying on the counter. Someone else took the socks while I was in the room. Next, I wanted some cologne. Took awhile to find someone to open the lock box where they keep it, and they looked at me like I wasn't making sense when I asked for cologne. When I tried to carry it up to go check out, they snatched it out of my hand and carried it straight to the register. Just a bit odd to treat paying customers like they're expecting you to rob them. It will probably make me stick to ordering from the online store in the future.

I frequent here when I have out of town guests because I know they'll find something they love in the shop. They have a variety of different brands and sizes, which I sincerely appreciate because it's not fun shopping when all you can find are XS/S items when you're a L/XL. There are many options for jewelry (my newest purchase was a beautiful Kendra Scott necklace & earrings) and they also have purses, candles, perfumes etc...a great place to stop in and find a gift for someone. My latest visit here was a great experience, not only from the options they offer, but their staff is so friendly - one of which was Amy on our last visit - she was so great in helping us customize our outfits and helping us & entertaining us :) I wish more businesses had people like her!

Their hours are a bit different as they close earlier than most stores so if your heading out there double check their hours. Waunakee definitely has a lot going for it!

(In typical bead store fashion, the cost of all the parts she used only cost like $4--how do bead stores stay in business??). But she took her time and was completely patient, didn't seem like she wanted to be doing anything other than help me. And she did a great job. So good I tipped her $5. While waiting, I noticed a beautiful piece of agate on a counter and inquired about buying it. She thought about it long and hard, then said: "actually, we'd really wanted to make that into a pendant. And I won't make any money just selling you the stone--I earn my profit from the labor of turning it into a pendant." Man, I totally respected and appreciated her transparency and honesty. So I offered her more money and she sold it to me. Which I also appreciated. Oh, saw a negative review here about their customer service being rude--she told me they'd purchased the store from the previous in October, 2015. So it's possible the bad experience may have come during the prior regime and staff.

Thus it was, on a trip to Madison, that I cleverly took my jewelin' pal into Tropic Jewel for a quick supply run, while secretly planning to turn her into my own personal one-woman sweatshop. First I must tell you that Tropic Jewel is flippin' hot in summertime. It's on the second story of this weird strip mall, so you not only have to haul yourself up a flight of stairs, but once you get up there, there's no A/C waiting for you. Pause and catch your breath before heading in, because it gets stuffy in there when it's crowded. If you have any interest in jewelry-making at all, though, is this ever the place for you. Shelves and shelves of bead trays, sorted by color, contain every kind of bead you could imagine and then some. One whole table is devoted to pearls, natural and dyed. In addition to smaller beads, they have large semi-precious stone pendants and even some metal pendants. There's also a good selection of findings, tools, and kits. I especially liked the beginners' kits, which had everything you needed to make, say, a pair of chandelier earrings or a bracelet. Lots of times those beginners' kits are pretty lame, but these projects were actually cool things that you'd want to wear - or give as gifts. We picked out some nice coin pearls, glass beads, and other beads for me, and with my friend's help, I ended up getting three pairs of earrings for less than what one pair would have cost in a department store. But even if you're not a jewelry expert, the staff is helpful and will answer your questions, and I believe they even hold classes there to teach beginners how to use their new purchases. If you can take the heat (it's not called Tropic Jewel for nothing), this is a nice place to browse, plan projects, or pick up a piece of finished jewelry for yourself or someone else. It was almost enough to make me want to take up beading myself - like I need another time-sucking hobby in my life.
