In a store like ours—with thousands of brands in every category of men's, women's and kids' apparel, with shoes, accessories and everything in between—there are virtually limitless possibilities, which could potentially feel a little overwhelming. That's why one of the key elements for us to be able to achieve our goals and serve our customers best is styling. It's how a jacket from one label, a bag from another and a pair of shoes you never expected to wear can all come together to reflect your personal style. Styling creates connection, it inspires confidence and, in the case of today's guest, it's elevated to an art form.

Join us for a trip to our Nordstrom location off Melrose Place in Los Angeles to chat with our recently appointed director of luxury styling, Catherine Bloom.

Catherine has built her career around helping people look and feel their best, one relationship at a time—one outfit at a time. And let me tell you, the level of clientele that she's working with here is impressive, to say the least. Among her customers are A-list Hollywood celebrities, pro-athletes and actual royalty; and the brands that she's selling are the absolute best of designer and luxury that the world has to offer.

We'll dive into Catherine's earliest styling endeavors, her rise to relevance at one of our biggest retail competitors and how she's adapting into her new position at Nordstrom, which we quite literally made up specifically for her.

Thanks for tuning in to episode 92. We hope you enjoy it!
