Just got back from the Saks in San Francisco and this is my new GoTo store.
Tino, SA that I just bought my Miu Miu Coffer. I've been agonizing on colors for a week and he was absolutely fantastic and patient. (which, I almost balked and picked up the new brown Gucci Indy which was TDF in real life).
Lorence, SA for Jo Malone. OMG, he is amazing. He knows how to layer different scents. Picked up the new Blue Agave and Cacao and will layer with Orange Blosson, and with Nectarine and Honey. Amazing, amazing scent. The chocolate is heady but not cloying - a real sort of aphrodisiac. And he layered Blue Agave with other things to make a great scent for hubby. He also threw in a ton of samples. Then took off and grabbed a ton of skincare samples for my hubby (CellMen?). He's also a stylist so I got his card and he does personal shopping, etc. .... free if done at Saks. And he knows great makeup artists and does event planning.
Then we took a spin through makeup and I wanted to try the Armani luminous foundation. The SA there ended up doing my makeup because we have a party tonight. The kicker? He said "oh, you don't have to pick up these items ... I'm just doing all your makeup because you have a party".
Ran into Lorence again at Scala's Bistro and he invited us to the Leukemia Fashion Show he's organizing. The man is absolutely amazing.
I was so impressed because the service was better than Nordstrom's and was MUCH friendlier than Neiman Marcus. |

| I am really suprised, usually the SF Saks has the snobbiest SA"s. I like the ones at Neiman Marcus. Verlene at Chantecaille is an absolute sweetheart, and Betty over at Nordstroms is also. When I go into Saks I will have to look for Lorence. |

I always have a horrible time at NM.
Plus ... this Sunday I was at NM in Palo Alto. There was a brand new Noce colored Miu Miu Coffer.
When I called several weeks ago I was told that NM did not order the Noce, only the Cammelo.
Oh well ... I bought my Noce at Sak's. |
