How Does Nordstrom’s Style Help Service Work?

Nordstrom Virtual Styling Appointments

Nordstrom offers both in-store experiences and virtual help, namely via the brand’s website. But virtual stylists are your best option right now, as it’s safer, more intimate, and frankly, it’s just a really cool experience overall. Here’s how it works: First, you book a free appointment on the site to meet with a virtual stylist. At the designated time you connect with your personalized stylist through a 30-minute video chat to get one-on-one advice, fit tips, outfit recommendations, and to discuss all things fashion. During the appointment, you’ll also be asked to share a little about yourself like your preferences, sizes, and other needs. After the meeting is over, you’ll get a host of outfit and clothing ideas, which are just that, ideas. You are under no pressure to buy anything from your stylist.

Alternatively, if video chats and social calls aren’t your thing, don’t worry, there’s still a pretty cool service you can use to try out items before you buy them. It’s called the

Nordstrom Trunk Club

and it works similarly to the style service. You share a little about yourself in an exclusive style quiz, and with that information, a stylist puts together a personalized trunk of items. You can order as many trunks as you want, and there’s no subscription to pay. There is a $25 styling fee that goes towards the purchase of pieces in your trunk. When the trunk arrives, you can try everything on, see how it fits, and decide what you like, and what you don’t. If you like what they send, you can keep it, paying only for the items you want. Everything else is sent back, and shipping, returns, and exchanges are all free.

at any time. You can also see the outfits and styles they’ve put together through their profiles.

One of the most important things to note about Nordstrom’s digital services is that you can take advantage no matter where you are, even if there are no stores nearby. Both the styling help and the Trunk club — to try before you buy — are available to everyone! So, go ahead and take full advantage of what’s available!

What Else Does Nordstrom Offer?

Nordstrom offers a whole lot more than virtual styling services, however. They will tailor items and make alterations, offer special occasion styling and in-store fittings, and even provide beauty and spa services like brow shaping, nail styling, skincare consultations, and makeup applications. Of course, you can also take advantage of the freebies, including free curbside pickup, free in-store pick up, free shipping, free returns, and free exchanges. That’s on top of the free styling help and beyond. At the risk of getting real repetitive with our words, there’s a lot to love about Nordstrom’s digital and virtual services, so don’t sleep on them!

Celebrating 150 years of Bulova: An iconic watch brand and American treasure
The 150 year milestone is an incredible achievement for this all-American brand.
Original Bulova Watches sign from the early 1900s tinted

Today, we have the pleasure of experiencing two interviews with influential contacts from Bulova, one of the longest-standing watch companies in the country, which is now celebrating its 150th anniversary. For the first interview, Dan Gaul sits down with Jeffrey Cohen, CEO of Citizen Watch America's portfolio of brands, which includes Citizen, Bulova, Caravelle, Wittnauer, Frederique Constant, Alpina, Arnold & Son, and Ateliers deMonaco. Gaul also sits down with Carl Rosen, Museum Curator, and former COO, to talk about Bulova's New York City headquarters and archives. There's a lot of ground to cover, so let's go.
Interviewing a Bulova legend
Bear in mind there's no video content for the initial interview with Jeffrey Cohen; instead, we'll be looking at direct quotes. Why is he such a big deal? With over 37 years of management experience and over 43 years in the industry, he understands the ins and outs. "I saw immediately the beauty and passion of the watch world, and I knew that this would be my life," Cohen says. Thanks to Jeffrey Cohen's strong leadership qualities, major investments in infrastructure and technology, and his focus on developing talent, Citizen Watch America is one of the leading groups in the industry, bar none.

Naturally excited, Gaul opens by briefly explaining how he approached his interview prepping and what stood out most to him: "Hearing about all the firsts that Bulova has done, and also the way that it has given back over those 150 years to the community, to the country, to the industry is a fascinating story."

UNTUCKit teams with Folds of Honor for a shirt with a mission
Look great and help those that sacrificed everything
UNTUCKit x Folds of Honor shirt

On the list of innovations for the shirt, there isn't a lot that could be looked upon that isn't a hundred years old. The shirt has stayed mostly the same since the early to mid-1900s. But UNTUCKit is one of the innovators who made it cool to leave your shirts untucked and casual. Making casual cool was a trend that changed the industry. Now, they have teamed up with Folds of Honor, an organization dedicated to helping the families of our fallen heroes. With a one-of-a-kind white dress shirt, complete with a FoH folded flag on the shirt plackard, you can look great and help a family at the same time. UNTUCKit will donate 10% of the proceeds from each sale of the Folds of Honor shirt directly to the organization, directly funding scholarships for those our heroes left behind.

“Every time we put on this shirt, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by our heroes,” said Chris Riccobono, founder of UNTUCKit. “Partnering with Folds of Honor allows us to honor these brave individuals while providing support to their families through education.”
