My OperaShopping in America
Sunday, December 21, 2008 1:12:42 PM
I was out shopping for a whooping 9 hours straight, minus about 30 minutes of food. But, Yes.
And, we did not even finish out all out store, there were just simply too many.
I was exhausted by the time I got back. But all and all, it was an awesome day!. Now I just wonder if all the malls in America are like this, because then I could almost feel my college fund running dry not long from now. I am already using back up money. But mummy has agreed to send more funds over. So yay!
I effing love American Malls. And shopping with my sister and her friend was wicked awesome, because she lets me buy whatever I want to buy.
*Now, there is just the problem of carrying all this things*
So, here is my take on shops in America. Some were a disappointment, some were so much better then I have ever thought it could be.
American Eagle Outfitters
I love this store! Well, they have really good cut jeans that were just the perfect length, I usually cannot get jeans that would fit me well, being vertically challenged and all.
Saw a really nice jacket that I want, but they didnt carry my size.
But, now I can go to New York and actually have something to buy. So great.
AE was very reasonably priced as well, sort of the middle price range store.
Macy's
I saw the flagship store for Macy's in NYC the other day, but Macy is rather awesome as well. Sister got a really nice DKNY trench coat for a mere 120 USD!
We both also got some new winter shoes. I got a few new shirts, some Clinique facial things, loads of designer make up products. All for a lot less than what I would have paid for in Norway.
Or at least, I would like to believe.
In Macy's you can get almost anything really. Prices ranges from 20 USD to 1000 USD.
I like Macy's.
Victoria Secret
Finally, I visited a VS!
This was one of the shops that were a disappointment, I must visit the flagship store in NYC to see maybe its much better there.
Like my sister say, really its the models that make the store, the underwear they sell are not THAT special.
Well, that certainly did not stop me from going on a small shopping spree. But overall, not that awesome.
Aeropostale
Yeah, this store is a bit like Old Navy, where things are basically not expensive. For regular teens who just wants basic things. But, the moment we walked into the store, we decided this store was not for us. The line to pay for things were half the store long!
But they do carry some nice things, just not for me.
Hollister
Now, here me rant.
This store gives you a major headache!
All their stores look the same throughout America, the entrance and all.
Google it, you will see.
Well, that is one thing, the store is like a Haunted House game. There are mirrors everywhere, its dark, music is crappy. Basically, a major headache just waiting to happen.
Clothes here were really nice though! if only they carry my size!
Everything here is ridiculously smaller then normal. My sister for example could only fit into S or even M. When usually she fits into XS/S.
It makes you all self conscious
Aerie
I also effing love Aerie, basically a store from American Eagle selling underwear.
We just decided to stop by there, just because. We were not planning on getting anything.
Yeah right.
In all honesty, they carry more awesome stuff then VS. We bought quite a bit of things from here.
100 USD worth of undies.
So that's awesome!
Target
Basically a higher end version of Wal Mart, I just realized how I am able to spend so much money on the most randomest things. I got loads of those fancy pancy designer shampoos here.
Don't know if I could carry them home though.
Friendly's
This was where we had our lunch/dinner.
Basically a regular sorta like Peppe's store. We have got a Friendly's just outside the college dorms, and I feel they would get a regular customer there soon..
Again, American portions...
Ugh! I had a so called "Real American Cheeseburger"
Uber yummy!, and it comes along with milkshake and ice cream!. I personally have not tasted Cheeseburger that good before.
Not expensive at all, I paid about... 15 USD for lunch. Good lunch mind you.
I cant remember all those small stores that we went too, but we didn't do any shopping spree in there, just small random items. Not worth blogging about.
Sister and I have agreed and decided that we would choose to live in our own world of delusion. Not counting how much money we have spend yesterday. Because, it was probably at least 600 USD. I am quite afraid to say its probably more.
But it was super fun!. I want to do it again, but I think I am going to lay off shopping for a week. That was the deal. One week, no shopping. Then we can shop all we want again in NYC.
I still need...
1. New expensive jeans
2. A new dress
3. A new jacket
4. A new sweater
5. Shirts
6. Socks.
7. Things from other famous retail American stores like GAP and Abercombie and Fitch.
Want to hear something funny, before I left yesterday. All I wanted to buy was a towel and some socks.
Dont seem to want that many things left, well cant wait to see what shopping in NY has to offer!. Cannot wait to see the higher end stores. Designer things that I cannot afford, or more like would not want to invest in. But we will see.
I need to see clothes Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Hermes, Ralph Lauren, Guess, my favorite Heatherette and most definitely have to see the Tiffany flagship store!
Ahhh, so much to see.
Oh, we are also moving to an "International House" later, basically we cannot stay in the dorms any longer. And I am going to Wal Mart, finally!
I need to get some hair curlers maybe
We are also looking for tickets to Boston/Florida on the 4th to the 7th. So maybe I will get to visit Boston too!
P.s : Why do all college students sleep like there is no end... I am up all the time, and they are all always sleeping!. That's the reason for the enormous amount of blogs, I am bored. Maybe I can go and get a milkshake in Friendly's myself...
