D A Y - 8

After finally getting hold of my cell phone, caught up in my feeling of overwhelming accomplishment, i strolled around for a while (turning into a long while) finding myself to be pretty much lost, all the way down by Wall Street. The streets were filled with suited business peeps and food carts. walking amongst the rushing suits, I saw the blank piece of sky which was once filled with the twin towers.

turning the corner I find another landmark from 'SJP's comprehensive (ish) guide to THE BIG APPLE'...... 'Century 21' (described in the guide as "TK Maxx on speed") she was not wrong. With Chloe boots for $170 and Mark Jacobs pumps for $100, this place was rediculous, but hard work and couldn't cut it so I left.

As I was leaving, a 'see by chloe' dress catches my eye, it bares a striking reseblence to the work of Stephanie Powell, the example bellow isn't as similar as others of her work, but you can get the idea.....

D A Y - 2 (marc jacobs)

I walked over to the station ready to embark on the list made in "SJP's comprehensive (ish) guide to THE BIG APPLE" lovingly wrote by the truly fabulous Stephanie Powell (of poo doves fame). Obviously first stop being the almighty MJ. After walking along Bleecker street for what seemed like a life time, i found the notorious accessories store, but alas it wasnt meant to be as i was too early. So after loading up on a bagel and getting a bit lost on the way, it was time. with tshirts at $25 purses at $11 it was no surprise that it was filled with frantic women pushing and shoving their way around the store. But with alot of the merchandise still in thier packing wrappers, this place looked more like a store room than a shop. Either way it didn't stop me, i spent some dollar.
