2nd day we awoke full of enthusiasm and hunger!!! We headed down into Times Square for breakfast which consisted of pancakes and lashings of maple syrup....naturally. From here we headed to the Conde Nast building which is just as you would imagine. With a big grand entrance and crawling with security, who surprisingly didn't like the look of a group of English girls and even though it was attempted by putting on a very British accent and battering of many eyelashes we were denied entry. It's fine we weren't bitter at least we could soak up the atmosphere............. of the foyer.
From here we decided retail therapy was in order so headed down towards Macy's and Victoria's Secret. Wandering through Macy's to me it just felt like any other department store, if anything I thought it a little bit dated, I think we are just too spoilt here in England. After this we sprinted across the road to Victoria's Secret to get our hands on some sale lingerie. Love, love, love that store cannot wait for it to come to England.
Then on to FIT to look at the exhibitions on men and women's fashion and Japanese fashion. I found the exhibition on men and woman's fashion the most interesting purely because I enjoyed looking at the similarities and contrasting elements of the outfits.
Heading back down to Times Square and we visited MnM World and the Hershey store. It amazed me how many different products they had in the MnM shop. MnM pants, golf balls, baby grows, alarm clocks you name it they made it, almost. When asked where they kept their normal standard packet of MnM's the reply was "we don't stock it ma'am." They stock everything BUT a standard packet of MnM's....craziness!!
After the excitment of MnMs you would of thought we would have been done but oh no, hello there FOREVER 21! One of the greatest shops ever, upon arrival it was evident this was going to be a looooong shop. So we grabbed our baskets and set about filling them to the brim with cheap fashion. The store was immaculate and looked like Topshop with Primark prices: amazing. Floor after floor after floor of clothing, accessories, underwear, shoes it was endless. Once we had all tried on, paid and left the store with multiple yellow bags each and our purses still holding plenty of cash, it was a good 2 hours later.
Once again our tummies called (after a lot of hard work I might add) and we crossed over Times Square and went to Bubba Gumps restaurant, which is based around the Forest Gump story, and had a lovey dinner to finish off our day! (I'm tired just writing it all down, how an earth we fitted it all in I will never know!)
