In the world of department stores, Bloomingdale's is the bubbly sorority sister, Macy's is the childhood best friend who will convince you to just try those Jessica Simpson shoes because they're actually pretty cute, Bergdorf Goodman is the icy coworker with the impeccable blowout, and Lord & Taylor, well…she tries. But recently, things have been looking up.
