Day 1 in New York

We first started off by exploring Fifth Avenue, a place I’d heard lots about but never really visited when I’d previously been to New York. What caught my eye was the huge & Other Stories store, as a fan of H&M I was curious to go in here and mooch. I instantly fell in love with the interior, consisting of high white walls, green plants and amazing clothing. Even though there was many items I’d have loved to purchase, the majority of it was too expensive so I settled on 3 body sprays as I’m a massive fan of fragrances. There was also a really cool feature in the shop which I’d never seen anywhere else before, there was a large sink in the middle of the shop floor with lots of scented soaps and beauty products. Having these here encouraged shoppers to wash their hands and try the products out (which is what actually led me to buy some things). We also stumbled amongst many other interesting shops such as Louis Vuitton which had a huge advertisement on the side of the building featuring bright colours. Another favourite was the Victoria’s Secret store which had all the actual catwalk costumes worn by the models displayed in the shop. On the top floor they had a runway, a photoshoot area where you can wear some angel wings, and a makeup area filled with the famous VS pink chairs. Lots of time was spent here trying to get the perfect Instagram shot. The rest of the day was spent visiting tourist hot spots such as The Rockefellar Centre, Central Park and Times Square.
