What I Covet - N&N... A Love Affair

Many of you know that my love for Nordstrom is a deep passionate adoration that dates all the way back to when I was a little girl. I remember going shopping with my mom to the mall and my favorite stop that we would make was to Nordstrom. The smells, the beauty, the piano player playing the theme song from Charlie Brown, “Linus & Lucy” made me giddy inside. When I was a teenager I was so proud to be on their High School Fashion Board. When I worked during sales and holidays I admired all the employees and someday wished to work for this fabulous company. Even though I never became a full time employee, I still get that little girl giddiness every time I walk into a Nordstrom store.
     
My affairs with Nordstrom usually begin with the catalog that comes in the mail. Holding the catalog tightly I chant, “The new Nordstrom catalog is here, the new Nordstrom catalog is here,” all the way from the mailbox to the house! I skip up the stairs with a silly grin on my face and flop on the couch ready to take in the beauty that is about to consume me. I slowly flip through the crisp pages carefully surveying each highlighted item and dog earring the pages that contain the must haves.

Next, I take the catalog to my nearest Nordstrom where the piano player has since retired and has been replaced by a playlist piped throughout the store. I quickly find my treasures and reevaluate what is truly a must have (in reality nothing is a must have, it is a really want!). I make my purchases and close my hands around the handle of my silver bags that I swing walking through the store feeling like a VIP. I usually make two more stops in the store. The first stop is to the accessory section where the hats are sold. I have an incomprehensible passion for hats, so I peruse through the new arrivals to see which one will be packed in a cute little silver hat box to join my other head wear neatly stacked in my closet. The second stop is to the MAC counter. My obsession for MAC makeup perplexes many. How many different color brown eye shadows can one girl have? Well who knew there could even be so many different shades?! With each launch of a new MAC collection my own MAC collection grows.

My shopping trips are always quick (don’t ask my boys though, they have no patience whatsoever!). My husband calls me a buyer not a shopper! I almost always know what I am looking for and I get in and out quickly and when shopping at Nordstrom I am always completely satisfied.

This “What I Covet” post is dedicated to the items that are currently on my on-line account Nordstrom Wish List.

Do you have a favorite store that you just love? Please share.

What I Covet

Happy Friday everyone! Here is my second "What I Covet" series. A tip for those of you who will be shopping on-line this weekend - always check the websites' size chart to make sure that you are ordering the correct size. I have found if I order to the size chart I never have to send a garment back. On shoe sizes, make sure that you read the reviews; they are always spot on. Happy Shopping.
