Trunk Club Review & My Favorite Fall Staples
As most of you know, about a year and a half ago I signed up for Nordstorm’s Trunk Club. I decided to finally try my first in-home styling service because as a new mom it was super hard to get out of the house to shop… and I stuck with it because I find it even harder now that Luca is a wild toddler!
Trunk Club has saved me so much time and offered me so much convenience over this past year. Honestly, it’s been a Godsend. It’s allowed me to up my wardrobe game and find the perfect pieces for me without doing any of the work!
My October Trunk Club: Seasonal Staples
Below I’m sharing a little bit about what Trunk Club is and why I love it. My Trunk this week was a seasonal theme, I had asked my stylist to send staple fall pieces and she did not disappoint!
Now that it finally *feels* like fall here I was ready to get some new pieces in my closet. But as you know, it is challenging transitioning from season to season so I enlisted the help of my reliable stylist, Shanita.
We worked together to pick the perfect pieces to help get me through these seasonal changes. She helped me style the right layering pieces to keep me looking and feeling great as the weather shifts.
What is Trunk Club?
Trunk Club is a personal styling service for women and men who are looking for a little extra help to find the perfect wardrobe.
With personalized help from your awesome stylist, they help pick out clothing, accessories, shoes and more that fit your style and your budget. It really is a smarter way to shop for the busy mom or professional.

How does Trunk Club work?
I get a lot of questions when I share my Trunks as to how Trunk Club works, So I thought I would share how your stylist always knows exactly what you need and the process of getting a Trunk.
Better Than a Subscription
First of all, Trunk Club is not a subscription. You get to choose how often you get your Trunk: monthly, bi-montly, quarterly, for a specific date or occasion, pause it whenever you’d like for as long as you’d like.
The first thing you do when you sign up for Trunk Club is you share your sizes, your general style, and your fit preferences with your stylist to create a Style Profile. Your stylist will then handpick clothes just for you using the info you provided. I even shared my Instagram handle and a Pinterest board with my stylist so she could really get to know my style!
See Your Trunk Before it Ships
After the items are selected, your stylist then sends a customer preview so you can see the contents of your trunk before it is shipped! As a generally picky person, I LOVE this feature! If at this point you don’t love something or want more of something you chat with your stylist to swap items so your trunk is totally customized just for you!
Add Your Extra Picks & Try-On at Home
Before your Trunk ships you can add a few of your own picks to the order! Choose from socks, hats, undergarments, and other fun accessories! These will ship in your same Trunk.
Your Trunk is then shipped to you, where you get to try everything on in the comfort of your own home (my favorite part!). I keep what I love and send back what I don’t love. You have 5 days to decide which I think is super generous!
Checkout Process & Returning Your Trunk
The checkout process couldn’t be easier – you’ll be charged for the items you choose to keep and the initial $25 styling fee (waived for Nordstrom cardholders) will be credited towards your total purchase. Let me just say, I’ve never had a problem keeping at least one item!
The Trunk Club App makes all of this a breeze, just log in, categorize what you’re keeping and what you’re not and leave feedback for your stylist on why you made those choices. You can do the return shipment scheduling in the app as well!
All returns are free and go back in the same box with your prepaid shipping label (included in the Trunk). Simply arrange a pickup with UPS or drop off your Trunk at any UPS location or Nordstrom store. you can schedule a free at-home UPS pick up so you literally never have to leave home – major score for me!
Easy Exchanges
Don’t you hate when you love something, but it just doesn’t fit right and want to exchange it, but can’t? Well, through the Trunk Club App (available in the iOS store) you can easily request different sizes and colors. They seriously make the entire experience so easy and enjoyable.
Want to shop in person at Trunk Club?
If you love to go to the store, but still want the help of the stylist, Trunk Club now has 6 brick and mortar Clubhouses throughout the country!
They are located in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington D.C.

Trunk Club Expert Stylists
You guys know how much I love my stylist, Shanita. She gets my Trunk spot on every single time and it’s always a struggle not to keep every single item!
Every stylist at Trunk Club is truly invested in you and your personal style. They are amazing! They go through a ton of training to really understand colors, sizes, and brands so they know what will look good on you.
I feel like my stylist really gets me even though we have never met face to face.
Everytime I chat with my Shanita I feel like she is 100% invested in me. She asks me questions to fully understand what I am looking for, about my body type, and what I feel most comfortable in, even if I don’t know how to explain it… she connects the dots for me!
My Trunk always reflects my mood, my attitude, and everything else that encompases me, all because of my stylist.
