This is the cream of the crop of Nordstrom racks. The shoes are amazing. I wear a 12 and they have a large selection- even for me. I went in for a wallet and left with 3 pairs of shoes, a suit, a Kate spade bag and accessories (socks and earrings). Damn. read more

Went to this store as I was in the area for another reason and decided to browse. First store does not live up to standard of its mother store Nordstrom. No sales floor or cashier greeting, no smiles, No help, basically it's like a cash a carry with no assistance. It was very busy at the time I was there, and the checkout line was long. They had about 5 cashiers working but line still was moving at a snail's pace. Once I made it up to the register the cashier did not even say anything, she just reached for my things and started to ring up. At the end no thank you for shopping. Glad this is not my local store which have the friendliest employee's. read more

the largest NR and of course i found something. brought my sister in law here and she found even more items than i found. the line was extra long so i waited in line while my SIL shopped. will be back. read more

This comment is to Ainura (Effy jewelry section). She went above and beyond in helping me to find ring and bracelet. She is kind, friendly and considerate person. I got great service from her and nice shopping experience! read more

I am a huge Nordstrom fan and I like going to the rack on occasion but I might not anymore because I just tried to return a shirt that I bought 90 days ago and they wouldn't take it. I bought it for my daughter for her birthday which was 5 days ago. She didn't like it so I took it back. I assumed their return policy was as good as Nordstrom. I think it used to be. I will be much more careful with what I buy there. I am a Nordstrom VIP. This was very disappointing to me. read more

I agree with Yelper, Pat V. I have tried countless times shopping at this retail location. Despite the designer clothes price point offered at this retail outles is hundreds of dollars less, shopping here is chaotic! I rather shop at the Nordstrom Rack located in Ventura rather than here! I discover I am walking into an unorganized, heinously messy retail store! Clothes costing over hundreds of dollars strewn all over the floor, shoe shelves are sparse because shoes are dotting every inch of the shoe sales floor, clothes ripped on the hanger, . . I cannot shop such a manic, chaotic retail store! I can't find clothes or shoes that are in good condition! What's worse? The lines heading towards the cashiers are incredibly long. I just do not have the sympathy to shop or wait in line for merchandise that are torn or shoddy. I am shopping elsewhere! I think the Nordstrom Rack Western Regional Manager must re-evaluate the manager and all the employees working at this retail location and get this store organized! read more

Nordstrom Rack - Manic, chaotic, unorganized retail store - Department Stores Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I pretty much only shop at Nordstrom Rack for 2 things: Dress shoes and ties! This place has tons of shoes and ties to choose from, and a very large variety of them. The prices are usually heavily discounted, which makes me a happy camper! On this particular visit, I was searching for new dress shoes. It's always a random hunt when you shop for shoes here. A lot of times they will only have one pair of a certain shoe. It's kind of like a treasure hunt really! But I was able to find a very comfortable pair of loafer type shoes to wear for work. The only issue is this location can get pretty crowded, and sometimes you feel like you're sifting through a lot of stuff to stumble on that one great find! Sometimes you'll find very nice designer shoes marked way down, so it pays to stop by and check them out before heading to the mall. read more

Nordstrom Rack - New shoes from Nordstrom Rack! - Department Stores Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

All the dressing room entrances are monitored by security camera. There's a 10 item limit to try on though. The saleslady said that this is the largest Nordstrom Rack. They have a wall of Havaianas and Reef flipflops but I wanted Rainbow Sandals (that I know they sell at Nordstroms). This is a great place for stocking stuffers but it's easy to spend $300 on a dress and four pairs of shoes. Designer shoes is the best part. I bought a pair of Mephisto sandals for like 69% off the original price. I am not usually motivated to dig through shelves of stock. It wasn't in it's original box. The regular shoe section is messy, with only one shoe so you have to claim the other one in the back. I bought my boyfriend a striped light blue dress shirt for less than $25. I'm still wearing the pink heels purchased from here several months ago. My empire-waist lacy dress was the same price. Infant coveralls are under $9. My uncle got a tie for $19.97. read more

Wow never ever thought I would rip a Nordstrom company a new one but here goes. I am so sick of the attitude received now a days. Wanted to see a watch and girl was not nice at all. Want to use other words but not gonna here. Bought some clothes last week red tag and wanted to exchange to save $5 not here no way so don't even try it. I guess $5 either way is being a cheapskate, lol. But we went to see if the same clothes were there and it was marked up about 120% so they mark it up just to give you 25% off wow shame on you Nordstrom. Shop at your own risk. G read more

Angelita B. helped me with my very last minute alterations and I am very happy with the super fast turnaround time. The store was very busy and the checkout lanes were swarmed with shoppers getting last minute deals, but I am overall very pleased with the service. Thank you Angelita! read more

I love Nordstrom rack. It's always my first stop for shopping. For any occasion any type of outfit that I need to come on this is the place to go to. This location is super nice and convenient. It is a block and a half away from my work. This store usually has the best collection in comparison to the other stores that I go to. The staff is very nice and friendly. They are always welcoming. read more

I routinely shop here with my wife. We never had problems getting the staff to help us ring us up at an empty express checkout station... until today. I saw a long line at one express line and the other express checkout unattended. I saw two staff members in green conversing in front near the sunglasses laughing and joking. I asked politely to please help my wife ring up her purchase. I must be interrupting her complex job of appearing busy at the sunglasses display because she tells me to wait at the two express lines... I guess being able to approach a staff member in green to ring up your purchase doesn't apply at this store. I would've been better served by a self check-out station than this moron that obviously brings no value to the store. We returned the merchandise back on to the rack and walked out. read more

I have shopped here since their grand opening, their main store was overpriced so the goods came here by the cartloads. The biggest bargain was also the returns from the online store, many times nobody seemed to know the original price so it was priced sort of arbitrarily to the benefit of the customers. Believe it or not, I was there to look for Ivankaapparels and shoes. I know Nordstrom got rid of them but I thought that was in the main store and maybe there would be dumping to the outlets, apparently the attitude was worse, they must have given them to the thrift stores. I do own a beautiful Iv leather jacket, her line was affordable, made for the working women, sigh... Well, I ended up browsing all over the store, since this rack was the 1st one opened in OC, their supply is always plentiful, better than the other 2 racks in O.C. I found an amazing deal, Fitflp shoes, 100% leather and sheepskin at 70% off, final price $30.00 I have other Fitflp shoes but they were never that comfortable, these were. Hey girls, any of you interested in these, hurry, they had a few pairs left at assorted sizes. Last time I bought an amazing swimsuit, surprise, made in USA!!! excellent design, rich color, sturdy fabric, it's called a miracle bodysuit, $166 I bought for $60. I totally enjoy this store, my doctor said I should walk more, well, I'm walking around the store on a treasure hunt!!! never a dull moment. I would have given it a 4 stars except the lines are so long and the shoes just never had their boxes to store in. I would rate this a 3.5 stars, if I could, I would recommend this rack over the other 2. read more

Latest visits have been disappointing. I used to shop here regularly several years ago and scored all sorts of high end clothes for deep discounts. Recently decided to visit this place again and holy cow, inflation is absurd. The prices are a whole lot higher than they were in the past. I did manage to find a Vince Camuto top for $20, but after 30min going thru every single one of the clearance racks, that was all I found. Also couldn't get any help from the associates and check-out lines were long and slow. read more

This is definitely my favorite Nordies Rack location. I almost always stop by here everytime I go to South Coast Plaza, Mitsuwa or Little Saigon. I went there few weeks ago and found out that they would have a presale on Tuesday of last week. The pretty young lady took my phone number and said she would give me a call. She didn't give me a call =( And I couldn't make it there on Tuesday =(( I went back on Saturday to see if they still have the sale. 1 hour later I walked out with 2 pair of Manolos. One pair of brown-white pony hair and one pair of blue suede. My yelper assistant helped me deciding which shoes since black Manolo and blue leopard D&G begging me to take them home too. Seriously this place is one of my favorites!! Great great great sale...even for men and kids. You can buy shoes for your man or cute dresses for your kids. Yep...they have my Choos here ;) Shoegasm part 8!!!! read more

Nordstrom Rack is going to be the end of me. They recently had a premium designer shoe event, with designers that included - Manolos - Choo - Lanvin - YSL - Prada - Louboutin -Mcqueens ...just to name a few. I easily would've taken 10 pairs home had it not been for will power. So uhm, I took home three. When your body is slightly off on one side compared to the other...finding comfortable shoes that don't make you look like granny becomes such a priority when it comes to shopping. Nordstrom Rack makes it possible to own a pair of shoes from premium designers that know how to make a pair of comfortable, sexy, yet classic shoes. Without further delay: Manolo Campari--68% off retail, for a classic mind you! http://static2.px.yelp.com/bphoto/kSNQwl5iPmIs2eNZnaaszw/l Alexander Mcqueen Patent Pumps- 66% off retail for sexy and comfortable shoes! http://static3.px.yelp.com/bphoto/WfEB1U8lr6_gorzV8NnO0Q/l Lanvin Jeweled Ankle Strap Pumps -73% off (I know) http://static2.px.yelp.com/bphoto/9aEGnkNzo-IEqaTGeDMJEg/l ********************UPDATED***8/26/09********************* Yet, another designer event with classics on hand.************** Classic Choo heels @ 55% off http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/SfK6RPWnSPwV6NVdy5AxUg/l Classic Choo Slingbacks @55% off http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/0OTa0-Te4FlrgdI15BoxNA/l Louboutin Black Patent Wedges @ 64% off http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/tv_eJ39M0f8OjGeiaHkk-Q/l What I absolutely love is not just the ridiculous discounts, but they also house classic pairs (as seen above) and not just runway/artistic types of shoes. I remember at one point, they had classic gray suede Jimmy Choo pumps for $250 that no one was picking up (including me). It was super cute and very much a staple, and had I realized the value of owning classic/comfortable/sexy shoes, I totally would've picked them up =T I'm probably going to shoot myself for saying this but my best advice to you is to sign up for the mailing list, and mark your calendar dates. 7/10 times, those store events are hits. read more

Nordstrom Rack - Costa Mesa Overall 4.5 Stars This Nordstrom Rack is located right across the street from the South Coast Plaza. This location is bright and clean. I have been to other Nordstrom Racks that look older and darker. Gold medal - True Religion Jeans Silver medal - Discounted Shoes Bronze medal - Great Return Policy Everyone loves Nordstroms, so almost everyone loves Nordstrom Rack. This location sells True Religion Jeans for 75% off the original price. You have to get lucky because as soon as the True Religion shipment comes in. BAMMMM. All the good sizes are pretty much gone. Nordstrom Rack sells the same brands they have at Nordstrom, but for a fraction of the price. Some of the items are returns or have imperfection. They have a large shoe section. From time to time you might get lucky and find a great cheap comfy pair. Nordstrom Rack has a very good return policy. Even without the original receipt, they can look up the credit card used and refund your money. Now that is service and convenience. What will Nordstrom think of next? HAPPY NORDSTROMING!! read more

Stopped in today to pick a few things for my daughter. Melissa M "Mel" assisted me at the check out. She was professional and friendly, even gone out of her way to look up my Nordy Club 10 pointer day. She also assisted me on a prior visit and she was just as friendly and helpful. We even compared notes on Longchamp beige cardigan with grosgrain trim and Faconnable women dress shirts. One smart gal with preppy fashion knowledge. Great service and many many thanks!! read more

For years, my pre-Xmas (and I mean on the last weekend before) shopping routine consisted of wandering around Nordstrom Rack for an hour, trying to find gifts for my wife. Usually, about three out of every four items would be returned, but my success rate was high enough to keep me coming back. That, and I had learned to shop comfortably in Nordstrom Rack. Last year, I signed up for the Nordstrom Credit Card. I got a discount on my purchase and a $20 gift certificate to use by the end of 2013. That Xmas, it was decided that all of my purchases had to be returned. Well. For Xmas 2013, I decided to buy her a sweater online. No more fighting the crowds at Metro Pointe! No more Karl Strauss happy hours to make those crowds more bearable. No more having to go back to return items that didn't make the cut. The sweater didn't make the cut. So, we decided to use the $20 gift certificate (on December 29. We like to live dangerously). If we couldn't find an appropriate substitute for the sweater, I was going to buy some Converse socks and maybe some underwear. Lo and behold, my wife found a sweater similar to what I had gotten online, but more size-appropriate (and more stylish). The lines were ridiculous, but they also have these auxiliary registers set up all around the store. They don't accept cash, and they only accept returns with receipts. You can flag down certain employees wandering the store to check you out. How cool is that? You can always find good deals here. Personally, I am not a slave to fashion, but I like bargains. Maybe this year we'll be smart and celebrate Orthodox Xmas so that I can do my shopping on December 26. Maybe those socks will be on sale. FYI: December 26, 2014 will be a Friday. I'm thinking Karl Strauss happy hour, then some shopping. I may make this a UYE. read more

Worse store ever! Everything is unorganized. Poor management. Don't waste your time in this store. Did a return for a bigger size , manager won't not let me do it , unless I paid $25 dollars more for same item. Last time I purchase at this unorganized dirty store! read more

This is my favorite Nordstrom Rack. Every time I visit I walk away with great deals. On my last visit I scored super cute Coach sunglasses for $49 and BCBG wedges for $50. This time I got Joan & David leather stilettos for $74, some Me Too wedge sandals for $39, and a cute black sweater for $22! That is at least 50% off what I would have paid anywhere else. They have a super organized checkout system and the lines are never too long at this location. One star off because they still have the stupid "take one shoe to the counter and wait forever for somebody to find it's twin" system. Come on, Costa Mesa, even the Brea location is over that! read more

I'm in it for the shoes! Huge shoe selection at this store. It takes forever to go through them and try them on. Some are high end designer and some are knock off cheapies. The lighting is pretty dim and the store has a warehouse/basement feel to it, but we're getting deep discounts for not paying for all the main store frills. Does get very crowded and the line moves so slow at checkout. I use this place for last minute throw togethers I need to complete an outfit to go out at night. I'm always here browsing longer than I thought I would be. And I am guilty, I do make a huge mess going through the oodles of merchandise, it's kinda hard not to make a big mess so when I see stuff strewn every where I just tell myself ...Man, we ladies can be pretty trashy, I mean look at our restrooms compared to men's! read more

Sorry, this place is not my bag. It's a mess. The ONLY section I would even consider buying from is the Designer Shoes (wow, both the left and right shoes are there for you to try on) and Designer Clothing (because it is semi-organized). But they have NOTHING interesting, at least not for me. When I am in the shoe department, I feel that I am in a hurricane zone. WTH? Like really, will you be able to find the mate to the cool shoe I am trying on and fell in love with? Or are you going to tell me that "oh sorry, we cannot find the mate" and break my heart. (It happened to me before so...I thought maybe I would have a better experience today) Not so much. Will stick with the mall, Loehmann's, and online shopping. Left us very disappointed...so we went on to our next destination: Boudin Sourdough Bakery and Cafe! read more

I love Nordstrom, they've always been extremely nice and helpful. The customer service at this location has gone down the drain. The one individuals working the registers had major attitude! Worst customer service I've ever encountered. I would leave zero stars if I could. read more

Nordstrom Rack...where leftover merchandise and apparently personnel come to live out their lives. I imagine the people who work here just didn't make the cut for the real Nordstrom due to one factor or another. When the old hag at the watch counter complained about bending down to unlock a case for me, it's pretty apparent she wouldn't have survived for very long at Nordstrom. I'm sorry that she's 70 years old and still working instead of enjoying a mai-tai in a senior living resort by the beach but this is still her job and if she can't bend, go fold some clothes! My heroes at Nordstrom Rack are the people behind the shoe counter. They are constantly under the gun, working under pressure while their customers wait for them to wade through thousands of shoes just to find the one that matches. Yes, that may make them irate but I'd like to think that hunting down that matching shoe makes it a more satisfying job for them at the end of the day (probably not). You find some great deals here but like with all the other discount stores, it takes time and effort...and sometimes on a crowded Saturday, some elbow grease. Happy hunting! read more

I don't get it. I took a nice long shower. I scrubbed down with Tea Tree body wash - filled with invigorating Peppermint, Tee Tree and Eucalyptus botanicals. Washed my hair with both Pantene Smooth Vitality shampoo and Pantene Smooth Vitality conditioner. By all accounts one would say I was pretty darn clean, fresh as a dewy meadow on a spring morning. Yet when I walked in here, all the employees acted as if I was hand-dipped in hot dog water and rolled in hot garbage. Even in the Eternal Check-out Line, none of the cashiers would make eye contact, lest my horrid countenance turn them to stone. The grand irony is that as I waited in their long ass line, the PA system kept playing a message saying something to the effect of, "tired of waiting in line? One of our sales associates can ring you up on the spot. Just find one and you can go about your business, Chris". Yet when I looked for one nearby, none were to be found, scattering like so many cockroaches exposed by a flicker of light in a late night kitchen. I swear, the non-help and long lines are enough to make one shop at their regular Nordstrom and pay full price. Unless that is their plan all along. Dun dun DUHHHHNNNN. read more

the tone of the management is absolutely unbelievable, the manager basically accused me of lying about wearing an item once. I don't mind not being able to return it because of the policy (i totally understand that) but even explaining the return policy she had a horribe attitude but im more angry of how she spoke to me. The customer service at this store is beyond terrible. Never going back. read more

Located at Metro Pointe, specifically across from DSW Shoes and right next to the Edwards movie theater. My mom and I came here for the first time last Sunday during their special clear the rack sale (additional 25% off red tag items). It was rather crowded with long lines at the register when we first arrived about 2.5 hours before closing. But as the time progressed, there was no more lines 45 minutes before closing. Anyways, there were so many wonderful finds to be found here. I especially liked that their high end designer clothing items are specifically organized by brand (in alphabetical order). I wished all Nordstrom Rack locations would take note of this. I enjoyed most of my time here after I quickly walked through the handbag area (which didn't have much to grab my attention). After going through the racks in this area, I eventually made my way to the shoes. I found quite a few high end brand names in the shoe racks in my size. Here I spent more time trying on shoes as my mom was going through some of the near by clothing racks, adding more items to our cart. During our visit, I interacted with 4 employees, all of whom were very friendly, despite the long and busy work day I imagine they had. If only I had visited this location sooner. But I will be sure to make a visit the next time I am in this part of Orange County. Maybe for their next big sale (Black Friday through Cyber Monday, take an additional 30% off red tag AND blue tag items!). read more

Need retail therapy.. and some big brands without burning a hole in your pocket head here! Spend an hour or more browsing, just enjoying the hullabaloo, and if you are lucky, you will find some exceptional deals! A great way to spend ur lunch hour if you are bored! :p Please come with time and patience, it isnt the most organised of stores, and the help you find may be more Mexican than English sometimes! sigh..! read more

I usually love Nordstrom rack but today I waited over 30 Minutes for a price check and was given no status update I finally left because I can't just wait around forever for the team to get it together. The cashiers felt bad for me and didn't understand why it was so difficult..it was a Christmas tree topper probably under $10 really bad customer service from the accessories team. They never gave me a price and I ended up waiting around for nothing. Super disappointed, it they wanted to say it was unavailable for purchase they should have told me right away instead of waisting my time. I'm giving 2 stars because of the cashiers being polite. read more

Chanel was really kind and made my day! She was really helpful and saved me a ton of time

I've been here a few times since they opened and in the beginning, it was a clusterfuck of clothes, shoes, and accessories. It wasn't exactly the experience I expected but now it's a bit under control and very organized. I went looking for a hand bag. They have a clearance table and the regular selections at some great deeply discounted prices but I didn't exactly find what I was looking for. I do like that you can checkout anywhere in the store if you can spot a sales associate and they are everywhere. That's an awesome feature. I hate waiting in lines so I was excited to learn about this. read more

I normally shop at the Nordstrom rack in Laguna Hills. And I shop quite often at the rack and regular Nordstrom. I have returns. There's a sign that says "Nordstrom rack online and haute look returns". I also have returns from normal Nordstrom. I ask if I can return normal Nordstrom items at the counter, she says no. Only online Nordstrom and haute look. I figured I could give all returns to the normal line and finally when I do get the counter, I can ONLY return store bought items. What the hell? So I have to stand in two lines to return items to the same company that charges me on the same Nordstrom card? You are the same company! This is not convenient for your online and in store shopper. Second thing that happened, I approached the fitting room with the mesh bag. The girl says "I'm sorry, you can't take the mesh bag in the fitting room". I had to physically take each item from the bag, hang it on the rack that's in front of the fitting room, leave the bag, then take clothes with me. No. She didn't count the clothes. So it wasn't about the 15 item limit. When I asked if this is new- she said no, it's always been this way. Really? Lies. Or you're just now deciding to enforce this unknown rule no other Nordstrom has ever enforced. ****My husband (same shopping trip as me) took a bag into the men's room with no questions asked.**** No, a mesh Nordstrom shopping bag in fitting room is NOT something that's always enforced. The experience here was ridiculous and if you are changing your return or bag in fitting room policy, have this posted somewhere. It was a very different shopping experience here than what I'm used to. What's going on with this location or is this going to be the new morm for Nordstrom rack? *Update 9/25 I went to the Laguna Hills rack. Took my bag right into the fitting room and returned Nordstrom and online purchases at the register.* read more

Basically stole money from me. I do not shop here often due to its a glorified and overpriced TJ Maxx. Went to try to return an item (within policy) they have no way to give my money back without the original debit card. That card was replaced and no longer exists, the only option they had was a gift card...to a place I don't want to waste my money at. My money is essentially gone read more

My rating is purely based on the customer service that horrified me today. Check out line here is always crazy long, so the staff carries mobile devices to help faster check out at temp casher spots here and there in the store. I had something to return real quick, I got in line at one of mobile check out station. When it was finally my turn, the clerk said she didn't carry mobile device. So I was sent to another station. Two guys(customers) were trying to scan the barcode on their printed receipt with the clerk's device. They took a lil time and got it scanned. Then it was my turn. She was hesitant to scan my email receipt before even trying it. She said I had to bring a printed receipt other wise the scanner won't work. But I know for sure that is not true. I have done a return with email receipt at mobile check out station on the other day at a different NR. I asked her to try a few more times but it didn't work. I asked her if her mobile device had a problem or all were like that. But she didn't say much, just kept on saying "not scanning" and refused to try again. On top of that, a rude lady who just got in line after me told me, "what she says is you need to bring paper receipt or the scanner doesn't work." - Hello~ are you thinking I am a deaf or I don't understand English? Mind your own business! - but I didn't make a scene. I was really upset, wondering around the store, and yelled at one of the staff to help me with return. She trued to call mobile carriers then finally she went somewhere, and she scanned it!!! It worked right away!!! But her mobile device died, so she grabbed another young staff, she was carrying the device as well! It looked like everyone had the device!!! So she tried to scan my email receipt, but it didn't work, then the brilliant young girl staff started type in the numbers from below the barcode right away! I was like, "ha! That is another way if scanner doesn't work! How come the other lady near lingerie section didn't even try to do it but just refused me!?" My return process with the smart young staff only took a less than a minute. During a day, around 2 pm, if I see the hispanic lady at mobile check out station in front of lingerie section, I will have her scan my email receipt again just to train her what is the alternative if scanner doesn't work. She should know. read more

EXCELLENT ; CUSTOMER SERVICE, COMMUNICATION AMONG STAFFS!!! I have to write a review to praise and compliment the staffs here on 10/17,2018 because they put really big effort to find my lost bag. They knew exactly what to do, which steps to take, (how does my bag look like, color, size, belongings inside the bag) In the end, thanks to the manager, I could ve found my bag which was inside the store. They are responsible and have great communication with each other. I could felt their deep care and concerns. (Special THANKS to the store manager who literally found my bag, Monica who told me what to do with my bank account and comforted me when I was in real chaos, the very first staff I notified my lost and acted fast to let the others to share the info., responsible security lady, et. al.) Morever, They even went to check the cameras behind the store which impressed me a lot! It could ve been a horrible memory for me to lost my cherished belongings here in the States :) Again, thank you very much for your assistance and wish you all the best! Ps. Sorry for my broken English, I'm still learning! Lol read more

I was missing some vacation things like sunglasses and flip flops, so I went to South Coast to find these items. After perusing several places, I headed over to Nordstrom Rack. It has been a dependable place to shop for moderately priced designer fashion. The location is great, but parking can be a challenge. The space is large as is everything in SoCal it seems. The sunglasses selection is pretty decent. Some higher end brands, but you might want to try Loehmanns instead if brand is important. Picked up some decent Kenneth Cole Reaction glasses for $15. Not bad. Flip flop selection was kind of disappointing. They have a lot of shoes, but not much of a flip flop section which is relegated to being side displays. Still picked up some Havaiana flip flops for $15. I really like them. They were very good in retracting sand when I used them later in the day at the beach. Lines were sort of long, but they moved very quickly. Interestingly, they now offer receipts sent to your e-mail address in lieu of a paper receipt ala Apple Store. If you need to get some vacation fashion when in SoCal, Nordstrom Rack is a great option. read more
