Shopping in New York

MishB Cut Rock Total Posts: 485 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 8/17/2008	I will be in New York (first trip!) in March, and while I plan to do some shopping, there are two things I want in particular. Can anyone advise me where are the best places to look for: - a Dianne Von Furstenberg wrap dress, probably a size 8-10. Flagship store, outlet (Woodbury) or department store? - a pair of Louboutins - a classic style, nothing out of the ordinary, I'm a 37. Thanks in advance, and any other advice about shopping in NY would be appreciated.

One thing I noticed about NY shopping which was different to Aussie shopping there was not as a mass prevalence of mass shopping centers, or if there were I didn't see them :). Hopefully some native NY'ers will be able to help you further :). __________________________________________________________ Sometimes if your really lucky all your dreams do come true ...............

Saks turned me off, very crowded and the air conditioning ran me out of the shoe dept. (also saw a huge, gigantic diamond on a very young, sloppy girl in there) Bloomingdales was packed, the best help was in the designer sections. I will never visit SoHo on a Saturday - unbelievable crowds. I lost count how many times my heel was stepped on!

Plus you can check out Cartier, Tiffany, etc. in between clothes and shoe shopping! ETA I love shopping in Soho but it is terrible on weekends! Try to go during the week if you can. And definitely check out the Barney's Co-op in Soho if you go!

tarepanda Rough Rock Total Posts: 28 Last Post: 3/19/2009 Member Since: 1/2/2009	^Me too! Barney's is great. I would second the advice about Soho, but I do like the Bloomie's there, even though it is smaller than the 59th & Lex one. For what it's worth, I love the shoe floor at Saks . . . I mean, it has its own zip code! It does get crowded but it's worth just taking a look.
