    My husband and I were on our honeymoon earlier this month and made sure to make a stop here while we were in Anchorage for the day. We have the utmost respect for the native Alaskan peoples and the wealth of knowledge and the rich art that their cultures offer, and both of us were curious to learn more about qiviut (pronounced KI-vee-ute, which means "down" or "underwool" in the Eskimo language). Some fun facts: - "Oomingmak" is the Eskimo word for the musk ox - means "the bearded one" - No musk oxen are harmed in the collection of their hair, which is naturally shed on a seasonal basis - 8x warmer by weight than sheep's wool, does not shrink from heat or itch when wearing like wool will - Does not hold up well under friction, which is why the Co-Op doesn't make socks, gloves, or mittens Their products are pricey, but that's because the cheap fashion industry has warped our sense of what quality products cost. With Qiviut material, the products are made to last, and the proceeds go to support Native peoples who knit the products by hand in Southwest and Western Alaska and live a subsistence lifestyle. After chatting with one of the employees, my husband and I decided to splurge - he got a hat and I got a "nachaq" (Eskimo for "hood" that can also be worn as a cowl). Both of us picked the "mekoryuk" (harpoon) design, but there were many to choose from. If you're interested, the qiviut yarn can be purchased in kits if you're the DIY type. For once, we're excited for it to get cold so that we have an excuse to break in our new qiviut products!

    I have to admit a feeling of shock when we walked in. I read previous negative reviews and wasn't…read moreexpecting much. I was pleasantly surprised to find a fabulous selection on hand. It says something that my uncle, daughter and grand daughter all walked out with new clothes. I even found a couple of sweatshirts to bum around in. Do the math and that's four generations served by one store. My uncle's new wife won't let me use her name in the review and got mad and yelled at me about it. So, let's call her Mandice. Not because she has massively huge man-feet, but it's just a random name. Right? Point is, that there were shoes that fit those gunboats...and looked great, to boot (see what I did there). She left with a pair of heels, a running shoe and slippers. NR has a new shoe customer, thanks to me (even though she'll never admit it was me). I love the fact that they keep the place clean and orderly. There's a wide variety. The people are very nice to us, but, they do have to pick up the pace at the check out. We went back a second time and it was no better. Still it's a great find for us. 08/23

    My experience today at your Nordstrom racks was horrible, they were super rude and were so busy…read moretrying to sell me on getting the credit card that they charged me for my cologne and then didn't put it in the bag, and I had to pay for a whole another Uber all the way down there just to pick it up and they weren't willing to do anything to make their mistake right. Not even a discount and the employee was extremely rude about me asking for them to do something to fix their fuk up which cost me 25 bucks to come back

    Super duper over priced... like big time. Items they sell are available online for a as much as…read morehalf the price. But if you're like me and you like to be hands on before you make a purchase, then this is an ok place to scope out. I recently got some lingerie there that was more than half off, which was a steal. yay. full price would have been a rip. But I also got a toy, which was 30 bucks overpriced, so boo... but, it was, ahem... worth it. That's all i'm gonna say about that. They also redid the store about a year ago and it's much better organized and there's a lot more merch. They have a headshop section with "smoke" stuff downstairs. Some interesting things if you're into that. They had silicone bongs which I've never seen before. I don't know anything about that stuff, but it was kinda neat. They also have some funny weed related novelty items that would make nice gifts for the pothead in your life.... They made the clothing section downstairs smaller, which was a smart move. They've gotten more choosy with what they stock. Mostly all stuff for skinny bitches though. Boo. Upstairs, all the sex stuff. Again, mostly for skinny bitches, lots of gear for exotic dancers like wigs and costumes. Way less shoes than they used to have. Cindy's is still a better bet for people who are in the business of turning people on for a living. They have a very limited selection of costumes for men. Boo. Same for chubby chicks. But I found 4 things that I liked and fit, so yay, not a total loss. They have a variety of novelty items for pre-wedding festivities like penis straws and ice cube trays. There's a limited selection of sex toys... mostly just vibrators and cock rings. Some of their vibrators are the higher quality silicone stuff though. If you're into really hardcore fetish stuff, you're out of luck. The only place in town that has that stuff is Castle, and even their selection is limited (and no, I'm not into fetish stuff... but I figured some people might wanna know, so I'm including this in my review for their benefit.) So if you're looking for any kind of S&M, swings, clamps, pony play, double ended toys, etc, your best bet is online. They do have a few things, but it's novelty quality and not what a person with serious fetishes would invest in. But if you're the kind of person that has a light interest in toy play, then the Look is adequate.

My family wanted to take photos so I can remember and look back on the dresses I tried on, and the owner immediately told us pictures are not allowed. She explained she has had bad experiences of brides coming in just to find out the size and style they like, then going and purchasing elsewhere. I understand her point of view but that really rubbed me the wrong way as a customer. I wasn't able to remember any of the dresses I tried on, therefore I ended up purchasing my gown elsewhere. She also seemed to have a bad vibe. She mentioned that getting the "this is it" feeling isn't common then said only 80% of women experience it. The whole experience was off putting in my opinion.

    The lady was very rude, pushy and ignored the brides mother even though they're best friends. I'm…read morethe Maid of Honor and I felt so bad for my sister! The dresses seemed cheap quality and expensive prices. She didn't listen to the brides opinion about what she did and didn't want. It was just altogether an uncomfortable experience. She was even trying to tell us how to do different aspects of the wedding. I would not recommend this place ever! Anderson's Bridal was SO helpful and had better dresses and AMAZING service.
