Please ask for "Teresita" at the Clarins make-up counter when you want cosmetics.  She's so cool, she always hooks me up with the latest and the greatest!  At the lingerie counter on the 3rd floor, I forgot the girl's name, but she has long, dark brown or black hair and she's young.  She's really helpful measuring too to make sure you get the right sized bra that fits.

I have been shopping Nordstrom since they opened in San Francisco - they have GREAT merchandise for the whole family - clothes - shoes - jewelry -cosmetic dept. - they have a gift section - they have great sales - they even have a catalog - I try to stay away from the kids dept. - it can get into big trouble - the clothes and accessory are so cute -the staff and service is Great.

Once a year they have a great annual shoe sale for women. (they have it for men too) and oh boy I go crazy. I found a pair of coach shoes for under 100.00 and I was in heaven. The salespeople are trained to help customers for this sale because oh boy you would kill for a good sale at nordstroms.

This is a place i try to avoid taking my wife to shop. Their line of shoes are first class but very expensive. You hardly find items on sale at this store. They do have an annual sale for men and annual sale for women.

This place is great. I love the sales associates downstairs in the athletic department. They are extremely helpful. This nordstrom is also really clean and tidy. Good selection, price is okay, but not enough shoes!!!

PROS: athletic department
CONS: not enough selection for the shoes
