Dreamland: New York City (Sunday, May 11, 2008 / 11:16 AM)
I think I have mumble enough about my preparation for Dubai. Bought most of the stuff I needed - Mom sponsor. Thanks Mummy. So anyways, to many people New York City is a busy place and full of sight seeing. But to women like me, it's shopping paradise. Where on earth could you get Prada shoes at 80%. Only in Manhanttan!! So, anyways, if anyone of you dropped by New York. You might want to drop by these places. Found these in a website anyways.

It takes about an hour but well worth it cos it has over 200 designer brands that offer about 25% to 65% depending on time of year! Food courts, restaurants and atms widely available in this colonial village setting.

Well, this is it! But what you should check out are it's other stuff cos this place sells all sortsa shite at discount prices: designer labels like anne klein, moschino, dana buchman, xoxo(xo?), etc. 3 floors of branded stuff! And way below the big department stores! And prices are marked down based on the number of days it's been on da rack! They also have stuff like furnishings, luggages, food (gourmet stuff too!)

Take the 129 bus from the PABT at 42nd, 6.80 a pop! They offer discounts of 40-60 percent on most brands, like levi's, liz claiborne, ck, bally, etc... What's cool is that all the big stores in the city sticks their unsold stocks here! So you get clothes from this or (maybe?) next season! Start out at harmon cove cos u wanna grab the brochures and maps cos it's pretty huge also. My friend got levi's jeans for like 45 bucks each man! But can't be returned!!! So try before you buy!Century 21 22 cortlandt st 212-227-9092 Mon-fri: 8am-8pm, sat: 10am-8pm, sun: 11am-7pm www.c21stores.com Plenty of queuing bastards dying to go in! Plenty of stores selling all kindsa stuff but I refuse to hang around for fear my feet will drop off. But this place has plenty of bags and shoes. To Note:In general if you find stuff you like, they could be gone pretty soon cos lotsa people go to these places. So buy if you like and the price is right! Wear comfy walking shoes! Check their return policy cos some places don't accept returns, even tho it's in usa. Woodbury and secaucus is huge, so please don't plan other things on shopping day! You may not have time!
