We're super excited to share with you some Q&A from a recent visit with BP's Regional Merchandiser, Frances Vu! We found out her favorite trends and items in BP. She also shared some details about her own journey with Nordstrom!

Q: How would you describe the BP girl?
A: The BP girl is trendy and feminine. She wants to be cute and relevant. 

Q: Where do you find the inspiration for BP's upcoming trends?
A: Nordstrom buyers communicate the trends; They travel to London every year and they've even been to events like Cochella to spot trends!

Q: What is your favorite trend this summer?
A: I love color! Colored denim, color blocking, and colored stripes! 

Q: How do you incorporate current trends into your wardrobe?
A: It's so easy with my job! I look through magazines, talk with buyers, and I am addicted to fashion blogs!!!

Q: What part of your job do you love the most?
A: I enjoy interacting with people. It's great to be able to work with each manager and their team.

Q: Are there other positions within Nordstrom that you would like to experience?
A: I think working with Nordstrom Product Group would be fascinating. (NPG is a team that produces brands only sold in Nordstrom.) More specifically, I would want to be involved in the manufacturing behind the design and development of the product.

Q: Do you have any advice for girls who are looking to have a career with Nordstrom?
A: Always put in 110%! Stand above the rest, be vocal about your goals!
