lisbet, As Jenny H mentioned, it's partly a timing issue. right now Nordstrom's anniversary sale is a great fall preview, (fall styles at sale prices; when must other stores are on sale only on leftover spring/summer), so many of us are looking foward to the next season. 2nd, Angie's home base is also Nordstrom's, so its a store she know well, so many of her recommendations are available there. 3rd, at least for those of us in the US, they make on line shopping super easy, always free shipping both ways, no time limits on returns and a great loyalty program if you use their debit or credit card. 4th, they have a fairly wide assortment of price ranges, styles and sizes, so there are things that appeal to a wide number of Fabbers.
Oh, and i should have said welcome.
