In the suburbs of Chicago where I grew up, few places are as frequented as Nordstrom. It’s the main hub at our local mall where everyone and their mom (literally, my mom drives me there too often) shop for everything from True jeans Ton and Free People women’s jacket until Uggs and BCBG evening gown. I had lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe with friends and put on my makeup at the beauty parlor before my freshman country dance. Suffice it to say, Seattle-based department store has a special meaning to me. So you can imagine that I’m no stranger to its seven floors, 320,000 square feet flagship store in New York City.
With the holidays arriving faster than expected, I thought I’d make good use of my familiarity with the store by scouring its hundreds of racks for available crème de la crème pieces. Over three hours and an over-caffeinated break afterward, I’ve compiled a list of worthy contenders for whoever you’re shopping for right now.
