It was, as always, a whirlwind trip, a hurricane of retail insanity, if you will (too soon?).
And, of course, there were shoes.
The plane ride was spent doing some much needed research in InStyle, and I have a few quick gems to share (pick up the issue if you have a chance, there's some good stuff in there, footwear and otherwise!) before I get on with my stories!
Just a couple of cute things!
After a good nap and some page flipping, we had arrived! Then it was off to the hotel, then straight out to shop. And we didn't stop for three days.
At one point during this spree, my mum spied these in the window of New York Look:
Beautiful, no? Ok, I admit it, I was afraid to look at the price tag. The floral booties were $218, these had to be around $500, right? Wrong! They were $96! That's just all sorts of right. And, my amazing mummy offered to purchase them as an early Christmas present!
So, the only possible outcome was:
Floral booties for mum, and purple tweed for me! How divine!
Of course, I picked up a few more pair through the rest of the trip, but I'm not going to give the whole game away just yet.
Although, to my previous point about tuxedo slippers and androgyny, I did pick of these pals:
Blue, tassels, tuxedo? How can you go wrong!
And, I tried on the closet thing I'll ever wear to tacky New York tourist souvenirs:
Which I think are actually rather adorable. Irregular Choice. But then, who else could pull off putting the New York skyline on a pump?
Sadly, Tuesday came all too soon (though I was glad to come home, as I was missing my man and my kitty!) and it was time to pack up and fly away!
I think that that last photo is evidence of just how successful a trip this was! Eight pieces of newly-filled luggage later...
