New York Trip 2012

It’s been a while since my last blog post; nonetheless I am happy to say that I am coming to New York! This is my first trip to New York and I am super excited, I can’t wait to do some shopping. My husband and I will be in New York for one week (business for him, extreme pleasure for me!); I plan to engage in some major retail therapy.

For my trip to New York I need some help from everyone. I am basically a novice when it comes to New York, my major questions/concerns are:

• What should I wear while in New York, we will be staying in Brooklyn (somewhere named Canarsie?). We will be doing a lot of walking as I intend to go everywhere looking for bargains.

• Where in New York can I go shopping, I need an entire new wardrobe- casual wear, work wear, accessories, handbags, heels literally everything! So my question is- apart from the usual stores like Forever21, Zara, Asos, DSW, Marshall etc, can anyone recommend some stores where I can get some affordable clothes, shoes, accessories, handbags and cosmetics?

• I am every interested in experimenting with thrifting (my husband said that if I wear anything from a thrift store he would divorce me lol). Does anyone know of any thrift stores in or around Brooklyn that I can find on my own as my husband would never entire a thrift store?

• I want to invest in a good camera for my blog. Any suggestions/recommendation on a particular brand or what features I should be looking for (my budget USD 500 and under)?

I can’t wait for my trip, we are leaving on Saturday, we will only be in New York for a week so I intend to maximise my time. With everyone’s help I am sure that I can do it!

Thanks in advance peeps!
