SoHo

Today we visited SoHo, (properly as it wasn't raining!)

''SoHo is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City, notable for being the location of many artists' lofts and art galleries, and also, more recently, for the wide variety of stores and shops ranging from trendy boutiques to outlets of upscale national and international chain stores.The name SoHo refers to the area being "SOuth of HOuston (Street)". This naming convention has become a model for the names of new and emerging neighborhoods in New York such as NoHo, for "NOrth of HOuston Street", TriBeCa ("TRIangle BElow CAnal Street"), Nolita ("NOrth of Little ITAly"), NoMad ("NOrth of MADison Square"), and DUMBO ("Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass").''

We had received some vouchers for Christmas and some spending money so today we thought we would venture into a district that we hadn't been to this trip and get stuck in with a little sales shopping!
We 'looked' in the designer store  in the smaller back streets and then ended up on the main shopping section with all the more affordable shops and imported British Brands!


Popped into Sephora, HEAVEN if you like makeup/skin care, 250 brands under one roof, once upon a time there was one of these stores in Midsummer place in MK, on the corner where Superdry is now and before the tree died! Thanks Alun!


Visited Topshop/Topman and gave a sigh of relief finding a couple nice sale items and nice English fashions and sizes (with GBP prices!)


Visited Victoria Secret, buy one get one 50% off...the bargains were getting better!!


But bargain of the day was to be found at Macy's, a shop that is usually hell to find anything due to the amount of people and the USA's lack of visual merchandisers! (A pet hate for both me and Sam having worked in retail and Selfridges!). A Michael Kors iPad case on sale for $38, we got one for Miss Myra too and will be sending it home tomorrow...but that is not all...for everyone thats planning on visiting NY, make sure to play up the British Accent when in Macy's you get 10% discount as an 'International Visitor'!
