Rack Review & Haul: New Nordstrom Rack at Manchester Highlands

Last week, I brought you the news that a new Nordstrom Rack was opening in Manchester Highlands in the Ballwin area of West County St. Louis. On Monday, we were treated with an exclusive “Sneak Peak” to see firsthand the offerings available at the area’s newest Nordstrom Rack. Attendees also got to nosh on fabulous appetizers, wine, and drinks as they made their way around the store.

The first thing I did once making my way into the busy store was to go to the purses and accessories section. With designer names like Michael Kors, Tory Burch, and Kate Spade (just to name a few), several handbags and wallets had me at hello.

Once I perused the accessories, I moseyed over to the most highly coveted area of every Nordstrom Rack—the shoe department. Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack are known for their expansive and well stocked shoe department that has every style shoe you can think of. And since the Rack offers discounts on designer gear, you end up not spending a mint on fashionable items.

I also managed to get into the Women’s Clothing section (the place was packed, let me tell you) and found a cute casual dress that is great for Fall and for travel, which is always a plus since I am constantly on the go.

And last but not least, I spent some time in the Bath and Body section, where I found some great items from NYX, Philosophy, and Urban Decay. As a UD enthusiast, I added their Urban Decay Vegan Palette to my cart.

Total cost of my haul? $150.00; and I got some great buys!

The new Nordstrom Rack at Manchester Highlands (Manchester Rd. and 141) opens officially to the public on Thursday, September 13th.
