My flight wasn't leaving until the middle of the afternoon, having checked out of the hotel in the morning, I had enough time to run round the last few shops that I could manage and buy all the things that had caught my attention the first time around. Firstly, I went to Shoewoo near Park Avenue Bloomingdales. The window display of the huge pile of shoes that appeared to have buried a woman was the thing that caught my attention. Inside the small shop, the furniture was shoe shaped and there were shoes hanging f
rom everything as well as rotating shoe displays that were placed in the middle of the shop. I managed to find an amazing pair of grey boots that fitted me perfectly. They were so cheap that I felt like I was robbing them.

With time ticking away, we caught a taxi down to Soho again, learning from yesterday's mistake of trying to walk it. We entered the New York version of Topshop as it was just opening and were surprised by the lack of people there during a sale. It seemed very strange to be able to walk around the shop without having to battle other desperate sale seekers out of the way.
It wasn't the clothes that caught my attention, surprisingly it wasn't the underwear either but the Topshop Boutique New York exclusive shoes. At an amazing buy one get one pair free! Obviously it was rude not to try some on, and I
figured that if I was going to buy one pair, I may as well get one pair for free. Before I knew what was happening, I was walking out of Topshop, towards Hollister, with three new pairs of shoes. My mind did briefly flit back to my already bulging suitcase and I wandered how I was ever going to be able to get them all home. It was only a brief flit though, as I entered Hollister, fully preparing to buy something else.

One of the things that I noticed when I was walking around was that New Yorkers could spot that we were E
nglish from the other side of the street, purely based on the way we dressed. Girls our age out there didn't seem to be as creative and imaginative with putting clothes together, a trait that seems to be something quintessentially English. The preppy style of Hollister and Abercrombie seemed to be most popular with the young New York girls.

When we entered Hollister and I got irritated in the same way that I had in Abercrombie with the lack of lighting and the annoying sales assistant. I was about to give up and go home when a cute red sweatshirt caught my eye. Of course I bought it, rushed back to the hotel and just about managed to shove everything into my suitcase. It took three girls to get it closed but no one could deny that it was closed.
