Labels or Love?

So it’s been a month since I went to New York and the blog description really does summarize it well. At the time it was great but now I’m back and as I read over this blog it becomes more apparent how truly amazing it was.
Everyone I live with could probably tell you as much about my trip as I can as I apparently mention it 'all the time' and every time the word new York comes into conversation everyone is quick to chant beep beep beep, to signal that I am yet again talking about the event that is New York.
So Labels or Love?
Well I got my label in Michael Kors and I also found love in New York itself, Ralph Lauren, my memories and the great friends I made.

Im NOT Ill !!

After a very long journey with little sleep no make-up and greasy hair I returned back to uni looking rather fresh. Everyone loved their gifts but everyone was commenting on how ill I looked, I explained I was jet lagged and hibernated in my room for two days until the jet lagg was over.

Good Bye My Lover Goodbye My Friend

So that was it we were all packed and ready for home all a little sad as not only was the long awaited trip over, but it was back to uni, and so I wasn't going to be going home home to see my family

Hello Michael!!

So it was the last day sob :( we hadn't even been for breakfast so we asked some of the others and they reccomended Town House. I had the fruit waffles but they were a little disspaointing and quite dry, I lethered them in syrup which seemed to do the trick.

We stayed fairly local, in order to do the last few bits we hadn't done. We firstly headed towards Macy's and on the way we stopped at a souvenir shop. I bought a shot glass for my friend, a couple of statue of liberty crowns and the beloved I Heart New York T-Shirts.

Take Me To Hard Rock

With it being the last night we decided to go to Hard Rock! I'd never been and we hadn't been out for an evening meal and so decided to go there. There was 8 of us and it was a Saturday night so we did have to wait a while and then even longer because Tova was indecisive as usual. There was so much nice food to choose from but it was quite pricey for a bunch of students. I had Salmon and polished off the lot.

 

We headed off to Times Square where we appeared on screen. I tried to photograph it but my camera wouldn't zoom that far. We literally had a lock in Hershey’s where I stocked up on reeces pieces, and then once again headed for Forever 21. I changed my skirt for some coral shorts I had seen in the SoHo store, and then made up the money with a bright Barbie pink nail polish. That was it our last sleep in New York.



I Found My Dream House

When i'm older I'm going to live in Ralph Lauren

Chanel

Today would be a day of solid research we wanted to see how the other half lived! We headed off the 'upper east side' and whilst many are unclear whereabouts this part is I only have to mention Gossip Girl, and the area becomes apparent. We started off at Chanel the shop assistant was lovely she knew exactly who we were and what we were doing, she explained the store had been recreated as a sort of museum based upon the life of Chanel herself. She showed us this amazing electronic book where you’re waved your hand over the top and the pages turned.

Lanvin



DKNY

It was like a villa inside Donna Karen, outside ther was a sort of retreat/spa, where in the summer you can go out and use the mirrors. The staff were lovely and the store was oosing with sophistication.

 Prada

Ralph Lauren

Now as far as stores are concerned, forget Chanel, even the Prada store in SoHo this was my dream house. Opened in October 2010 the store is virtually brand new. I was in awe I was just taking it all in being observant aware of everything around me, I could smell the Ralph Lauren fragrance and I wanted to live the Ralph Lauren life. I noticed a lady having tea in the shop with the shop assistant the customer had bought him a gift. It was then that I realized that the staff were like no other staff. We slowly walked the shop and got talking to a young shop assistant no older than 24 she was petite and pretty with a lovely smile. Within minutes of small talk I felt like I had known her for years. We were offered champagne but politely declined, and we sat in the bedroom chatting for about 30 mins about life fashion and the store itself. The store was laid out just like a house with wardrobes bedrooms and toilets, even living areas and dining areas. I have never seen a shop merchandised like this before, it was the highlight of my trip, truly amazing.

Valentino

My personal favorite store for the selection of clothes. Valentino is very much my kind of style, I really like the pastel colors, the femininity and the wear ability about the clothes. The store was kept minimal and the staff were rude, and unwelcoming, I joked about trying something on, it would have been funny as I don't think they could have refused.  

 

Tiffanys

I am gutted I have to say I was dissapointed, it resembled a huge bank, so odd, and there was just so much stuff in there.
