"Delaware, we like your style"

The new Nordstrom's department store opens at the Christiana Mall on Friday, April 8, and as part of the kick-off splash I received in the mail a store catalog that looked a lot like a high-fashion magazine: glossy paper, beautiful photography, clean graphics, nice-smelling perfume inserts.
In addition to the fancy "designer" items, there were some quite nice and wearable clothes and some actually reasonable shoes (as you may have guessed, Tilda is not a fashion plate). And I was pleased to see healthy-looking, smiling models, and not just the skeletal waifs that you see in some "edgy" magazines.
Nordstrom's is known for its excellent customer service, which is more and more important to me these days. And this is very nice: proceeds from its "unabashed fashion fete" opening party went to the Delaware Art Museum, Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, and the Wilmington chapter of The Links.
