    Nice packaging for gift card.

    12/2/21 I LOVE the customer service here. I was greeted by multiple sales associates and asked if I needed help and was finding what I was looking for. I wanted to buy a backup dress to an event I am attending this weekend as the dress I currently was planning to wear is very thin and I was worried I would be cold. Fortunately I have a shawl to go with it. I found a red velvet dress, but it wasn't flattering on me. I found a gold sequined skirt and asked the lovely, Chiosi, if she could assist me with finding a top. She found two tops for me. One was out of the question because it was low cut and would be loose on me. I have a boyish figure so I know what styles doesn't suit me. She also found a black bodysuit that was sparkly and fit me fairly well. I will probably stick with the dress I have for my event and save the skirt and bodysuit for a holiday party like New Years as it't sparkly. Although they don't have as many sales as other department stores, they have a good return policy and other services that make up for it. There is no time limit for returns and exchanges. Merchandise purchased at Nordstrom stores or online can be returned at Nordstrom Rack. Returns can be made curbside, in store, or by mail. They offer complimentary alterations on a handful of regular price merchandise if you are a Nordy club member. I also saw a sign on a table that they offer free gift wrapping on any Nordstrom purchase and $8 for non-Nordstrom items. I definitely plan to shop hear more frequently for higher end, quality merchandise given their lenient return policy. I have problems finding comfortable shoes so it's a no brainer for me to shop here. Unfortunately, I haven't liked the limited selection of comfort shoes the few times I have looked. I need to shop online for that.

    Nordstrom is my favorite department store. The location at Columbia mall is on the smaller side but very well kept, good customer service. Never crowded compared to the rest of the mall. I went 2 weekends for some shopping and had the opportunity to purchase a signed book by an up and coming author along with Art the following week by a DC painter. Also I can't forget I was contacted by the amazing beauty and fragrance manager Percell to let me know I won the raffle :). I was a bit lucky I have to say ;). The basket was filled with a lot of wonderful fragrances and beauty goodies. The 2nd event was a DC painter I purchased some amazing art and left with a few of his prints since the originals were sold. Oh and I can't leave out my Tory Burch leather Apple Watch band & Ugg's.

    I had the absolute BEST experience today, spearheaded by Mr. Johnson. I wanted to exchange a gift (no receipt). Mr. Johnson noticed me looking around aimlessly. He asked how he could help and basically took care of everything else. He checked the floor to verify what was available (nothing). He suggested the best size and why he recommended that size. He processed the return and ordered the item, in the correct size, and had it shipped to my home for free. The thing that made his service above and beyond what was expected, is the fact that when it was time to gather my personal information, he asked me to step around to the side of the register so I did not have to blurt out my personal information. His effort to protect my personal data was appreciated.

    Its officially holiday season.

    Nordies is my guilty pleasure. I get my shoes, jewelry and make up from here. Yes, here and not "the Rack". Shoes: Their sales are pretty good. The sales associates are few and far between so most times you have to search for them. The service they provide is always decent. Jewelry: I have a designed with whom I'm obsessed and I found that her counter is getting smaller. At one point they would move the designers all over the counter every other month and that was annoying. Now, things are pretty stationary. I do appreciate that they will repair or offer an exchange for jewelry that breaks. Make-up: I get my makeup from this counter mostly as opposed to the store. I buy 2x as much makeup as the normal shopper as I have a home supply and a travel supply. It helps to get my stuff from here as I can use my card and get points for my purchases. Chocolates: the counter is usually in the Housewares area across from the bras. If you haven't had a chocolate from Nordies, you haven't lived. I'm not referring to the packaged Godiva, I'm referring to what they sell under glass. Excellent pick me up present to yourself or Vday gift for mom. Misc: I will get pattern spanx tights & belts from here. Spanx are never go on sale, but they have a good size array. The belts... The options are extensive, but you do have choices. I love this place. Love the service. It would be nice if there was a cardholder lounge where you are offered tea and cookies for when you shop. One can only dream, right?

    I order a Gucci bag from you guys and this is how they sent it (just as you see in the picture) The bag had stains on it. The bag was also crushed and flat like a wallet. I'm so glad I opened the box while I was at the store. This is crazy and so unacceptable. When I called the store that it was shipped from (store 422) the person that I had spoken to acted like she didn't care. How could you send a luxury bag like this?! In a freaking box with the dust bag inside. Clearly this bag was used and they fulfilled this order anyways. How come things like this is happening so often? This location in Columbia, Maryland sucks as well they did nothing but made it worse.

    Not a huge selection for men at all. I would skip and just head to Towson Mall if you're really looking for some good threads.

They have lots of employees fixing and organizing the clothing, or to help with any questions. I have been shopping at Uniqlo for a long time and most of the clothing I have purchased there maintains strength and durability no matter how many times you wash or dry clean them. I do wish there were more locations, but then again not so much bc I'll be broke. I do like their heattech collection, it does keep me warm during colder months. They also offer free alterations depending on what you need done and if it meets the price threshold. I forgot the minimum, but I don't think it was much. If not they charge around $5 or so. This is the closest location in the Pasadena/Annapolis area. They also have a few other locations in Bethesda, Montgomery Mall, and D.C. I'm sure there are more and I've heard there will be a new location in Annapolis Mall. Their clothing can be pricey, depending what you buy. However they do have sales throughout the year and you can get many pieces at a low price. Overall, the Columbia location has a wide variety, but one of their small stores. The location on 5th Ave, NY is by far their largest store.

As I was packing for our East Coast adventure, I was thinking fall weather clothing: boots, beanies, light jackets.....oh but on our last two days, mother nature said NOPE, I am bringing the heat! It was hot and we were slightly dying, as we passed Sweet Elizabeth Jane, not only was their storefront display soooo cute, but we could feel the AC blasting when we passed by. Seriously, this was the reason why we went in. Not knowing what to expect, I was surprised. The store was two floors, but not only did it have the cute souvenirs and Christmas decor that was visible as we passed by, but it had cute clothes and accessories. What a gem of a store....it was boutique plus, plus!!! This store has my heart. It was hard to narrow down my shopping since I had to be mindful that I had a carry on and personal item to travel back home. I couldn't resist and decided to purchase items and just ship them to myself back home. I bought a shawl/jacket in the most wonderful Olive Green color that is perfect for walking and driving in. I also got the softest scarf. Customer service was top notch. I saw this scarf on display on a mannequin and I asked if it came in different colors and they went to go look since I am not a big fan of the browns in my attire choices. I got a gray/black combo scarf. Since we had cooled down significantly as we were shopping, we got hungry and asked if we could place the items on hold since we didn't want to carry our purchases until the end of our exploration and headed back to the car. I gave them my name, they placed the items on hold and we went to eat. When we came back, the store associate remembered my name and that our items were on hold. She also told me that they have a website with many items for sale from their actual sales floor that could be shipped and proceeded to tell me how the store got started. She wrapped the items with care and off we were. Prices are completely reasonable for a store of this caliber. This store could easily fit into the vibe of Stanford Shopping Center, Santana Row, downtown Carmel, etc.....but I KNOW that this place will blow any rivals strictly due to their fair pricing, storefront size and their unique items. Thank you, thank you for existing!! ::hearts::
