'Shopping for labels, shopping for love Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of Shopping for labels, shopping for love Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of'
Labels & Love honey.
Labels & LOOOVVVVE.
I can’t promise you the love, but if you follow the itinerary I created for you, you’ll find the labels. Oh yes off course! It contains NYC highlights too! Cause that’s why we are here, no? Just for the labels? I want tell. Pinky promise.
Whether you are here for the NYC highlights or the Label highlights. You are welcome!
Confession time
The first time I visited NYC I was overwhelmed with all those shopping opportunities. Literally stores all over. ALL OVER! I’ve bought more than I needed. More than I remember. (For my defense…that trip was years ago!)
But two things I do remember. A fake fur body warmer. I still have it. All those years later and I still wear it! Best purchase ever. And it was a bargain (I live for bargains). Cost per wear is the lowest from all my wardrobe pieces.
The second piece I got was a Louis Vuitton scarf. A real investment piece. This one too was worn a lot. Was indeed…Till I accidentally put it in the dryer… I might have cried…I might have cried…I definitely cried.
Let me tell you one thing. Don’t do crazy stuff like me…Don’t buy French or any European brands in NYC (if you are European). They are off course way more expensive there than let’s say Paris.
Buy American brands. Buy local designers. Buy items you’ll love now and in 10 years from now! (Hello fake fur body warmer.)
What can I say? #shoplocal was not a thing back then.
Make it your own
I hope you have fun adding stores to my itinerary. It contains great shopping locations. Up to you to add your favorite stores. (Tip: use Google Maps to see what’s in the neighborhood)
When you start planning, don’t forget to plan your lunches & dinners (some tips here)! And if you are anything like me, you might want to read this very practical post too ;).
Let me know in the comments which store is on your list!
Always in an Empire State of Mind,
