New York City Shopping Adventures

Well well for all you New Jerseyian college students out there, hope you enjoyed Free NJTransit Week! And for myself, this week was filled with spectacular shopping trips to New York between classes ;)

Soho is my shopping area of choice, but I really should try to discover new places in the city. Suggestions would be appreciated!

Here's some of the fabulous purchases I made this past week!


From David Z. - 620 Broadway
Minnetonka Woodstock Boot in Brown Suede - $75
My first pair of Minnetonkas! Originally I wanted to get the Ankle Hi Tramper Boots a la Ashley Tisdale, but after seeing these in the City I couldn't resist! These are sure to be a popular shoe this Fall/Winter, I have a feeling since three other women asked to try them on while I was holding them! I must warn you to keep your laces tied because the beads will surely crack and break if you step on them by accident! `=X




From MNG by Mango - 561 Broadway
BCD Collage T-Shirt - $29
So this may sound cheesy, but T and I actually both ended up getting this shirt! T has the one pictured here, and I got one in purple. The only thing that stinks is that the gray one has a very cute back, but the purple one doesn't! Boo! This graphic tee is super cute and super soft and will make for an awesome laid-back-kinda-day outfit.











From GirlProps - 153 Prince Street
Brown Wayfarer Glasses, Handcuff Necklace, Stud Ring
GirlProps is just one of those stores you have to hit up when in Soho. It's super overwhelming to be in this tiny store with tons and tons of accessories, but some of the things they have are just too cute! All three of my purchases totaled to about 20 dollars, so as you can tell this store is easy on the wallet! I needed a new everyday necklace so I went for the silver handcuff one. I don't really know why but I have a thing for handcuffs haha! The glasses are funky and hopefully I'll have the balls to wear them out in public one day!



From American Apparel - 121 Spring Street
Black Lame Leggings - $42
I normally wouldn't spend this much on leggings so this is a stretch for me, but I have really wanted these since last year. I figure I'd get a lot of wear out of these bad boys, especially since I'd totally go for wearing leggings over pants any day. They are a lot thicker than I thought they would be so I'm waiting until the weather gets a little cooler. I'm going to have to try some outfits with these and see what works, I wonder if they'll go with my new Minnetonkas?







Other buys that I can't find pictures for.... A navy blue blazer and long black blazer vest from Forever21, black diamond leggings and a gray v-neck long sleeve from UNIQLO.
