New York City Shopping - Post Five - Keds Sparkly Black Shoes

Comfortable shoes are a necessity in my every day wardrobe. If anything, I will always lean more towards a pair of flat shoes than heels. However, heels will always be sexier in my opinion. These are my first pair of Keds. I am actually quite surprised I have never owned a pair. I bought these sparkly black ones from the Macy's location in Herald Square. The best part, these shoes were 85% off!!!! For some reason, Macy's was having a mad sale with an additional 20% off for every purchases not including accessories and cosmetics. Because of that sale, the crowd in the "world's largest store" was insane!!! First of all, having nine floors of shopping for a shopaholic is satisfying enough, but if you have additional sales the fierceness in shoppers begin to shine! LOL! I have to admit some sales associates dealt with costumers with grace, while others were straight out rude. Also, a great thing about being a tourist in Macy's, I also received a Macy's visitor's pass. With a pass, I received an additional 10% off purchases. So if you are visiting NYC, make a trip to the costumer service/visitor counter at Macy's to get your pass!! Anyways aside from the ample levels of shopping in Macy's, I enjoyed the original wooden escalators in there. I have never been on one before and it made Macy's look more historical and genuine. All I can think of now is when I wear these shoes for the first time, I will feel like Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz. Oh and I only paid $13 for these shoes!!!!

New York City Shopping - Post Four - Kenneth Cole Velvet Blazer

Last F/W 2010, velvet came back with a full force. I somewhat joined the bandwagon late with the velvet trend, but sooner or later I was determined to find a decent velvet blazer. By luck, while walking into the Kenneth Cole store in Woodbury Outlets, I stumbled upon a nice black velvet blazer at a very cheap price! It originally cost 80 dollars, but I got it for 15!!! What a steal! I love finding clothes at cheap prices unexpectedly!!!

New York City Shopping - Post Three - Chanel Écriture de Chanel

For dramatic, but also elegant eye make up, I have always used liquid eyeliner. In my opinion, liquid eyeliner creates a more clean and crisp look. As well, you rarely have to reapply liquid eyeliner when you are out in public. However, using liquid eyeliner is a challenge since you need to be precise when applying it to your eyes. Nonetheless, with practice, you become a pro. For that reason, I now buy better quality liquid eyeliner and Chanel écriture is one of them. I have not used this brand in particular for my eyes, but I am looking forward to using it for the first time. I have a feeling just like the other Chanel products I have, this eyeliner will not disappoint me.

New York City Shopping - Post Two - Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick

This is my second item from Chanel's make up collection. I have to say, the quality of make up from Chanel is phenomenal. The colour I bought is called lover and it is a pretty shade of red. This colour of red falls more towards the blue-ish dark shade of red not the orange-y shade. With my skin tone, I always go with the former than latter. Overall, the colour lasts long on my lips and it makes my lips stand out. So, if you want a great red lipstick, I recommend to check out what Chanel has to offer to you. The price may not be favorable to many, but it is worth it in the end. Trust me on this one!

New York City Shopping - Post One

So please stay tuned for my first New York City shopping post this weekend. However, for those of you who are curious as to where I shopped; here is a sneak peek....ENJOY!

(Post) New York City Trip Rant

I am back from the Big Apple!!!!!!!! I fell in love and left my heart in New York City. I am convinced that the only city I would move to in the USA is New York City. More specifically, the borough of Manhattan. A shopping post is in the works. All I can say is that I almost had a shopping coma...LOL! Lastly, a month long visit to New York City or a move to New York City is definitely in the works. Of course the challenge is to find a job first...So if any of you bloggers have any advice as to how a young and university educated Canadian can make a move to NYC, please let me know! Thanks in advance! =)
