Shopoholics and bargain hunters of New York, Rejoice! Starting today, there is a new store to satisfy our addiction to designer goods and amazing deals. Nordstrom Rack, one of the franchises that took over Virgin’s megastore that used to be in Union Square, had been under construction for months, teasing passers waiting to know what was being born behind those temporary construction walls.

Nordstrom card holders received an early invite to shop till they dropped on May 5th and 6th, while being kept fed with hors d’oeuvres and pour champagne by charming servers. The champagne was an excellent investment by the company since after one and a half glasses, I was rushing to the counter with armfuls of discount designer goodies to join dozens of other shoppers in the exact same state.

What can you expect to find at Nordstrom Rack, Union Square?

Think of anything you might find at a regular Nordstrom and there is a good chance you’ll find it at the Rack the season after. The clothes were fabulous but get ready to dig treasures and sizes. Although you wont find the elegance of a regular Nordstrom at the Rack, you’ll find items and discounts of your dreams.

I sneaked in to the store for a preview on May 6th and the excitement plus champagne resulted in a Marc by Marc Jacobs purse purchase, shown below.

My new purse!

Some more great deals at Nordstrom Rack.

Keep the champagne flowing and keep us buying!

Thank you, come again!
