Hey, bloggers!
I’m going to NYC for a week in August, and while my initial purpose for going was to see B.D. Wong in “Pippin” (well, this one is in Sag Harbor), “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” and “RENT,” I can’t help but think… I’M GOING TO BE IN NYC! I NEED TO SHOP!! ;)! So! I really don’t have much of a style (mostly t-shirts and jeans and my sweet kicks. I love Adidas, converse, etc) since I’ve been moving a lot and a lot of my schools had uniforms (HORRIBLE!), but now that I’m here in Texas for a while... I thought it was the right time to get a look together. I’m going to be a junior in high school next year… late start, I know. Where should I go to find jeans, cool t-shirts, and whatnot? I guess I could go as far to say I’m looking for “vintage,” but I don’t want to rule anything else out. Then again… my favorite “outfit” consists of a pair of jeans (a little torn, but so comfy), my black and white Adidas, and a t-shirt I got from an online Broadway store (in which all the funds will go to AIDS research). So, YES. Very blah, bland, nothin’ special, I NEED HELP!! I don’t even know what colors would be best with me! I’m very fair-skinned, about 5’9”, with blue eyes, dark bcbg glasses, and long blonde hair. I weigh about 138lbs, so I’m not the skinniest chick at my school, but I’m no Pillsbury dough boy (unless you ask my dads opinion. Then I’ve got the fattest ass on the planet). Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions! |

I just left there the third week in July. I've been there twice.
  I would suggest going to 125th Street and shopping all down there. They have good prices. Also go to Chinatown and there are some really good bargains. And last but not least go to the Manhattan Garment District. Nice clothes are in just about every store in those areas. I can't wait to go again and again.

Be sure to check out stores/boutiques in the village, as well as H&M (really really cheap stuff there). You should also walk around chinatown (i swear, theyr'e always updated on the latest trends for accessories).

Noho is the same. YELLOW RAT BASTARD! 3) Antique Orange is near Chinatown and a few blocks near my school. designer names for a bargain. actually most shops are like that all over the place. 4) 34th/Herald Square/Manhattan Mall - Oasis + Aeropostale at Manhattan Mall. Clinquers is a store across from Macy's. Lots of cheap clothing. ... i have a small shopping problem. haha. hope you enjoy your stay. I <33 Soho!.. Go to Midtown..there are COUNTLESS places to shop. |

Oh yeah, I forgot, if you're into tennis shoes, go to the BAPE store on Greene Street. They sell those pricey Nike-inspired shoes that Pharrell wears. I swear I'm going to buy a pair when I get up there in a few weeks.
