Girly Guide To A Top Shopping Break

My top shopping destinations for a girly trip away :)

1. New York- As I've stressed in previous blogs it's a must do. Enough variety of shops/markets for any budget, taste and age. Good for bags, shoes, make up and jewellry.

2. London- For non-UK visitors Primark is a big enough reason in itself to visit. Visit Harrods, Oxford Street and Camden Market. Again, London can be as budget friendly or budget busting as you want it to be. Good for cheap buys from Primark, amazing jars of sweets from Harrods and the alternative scene in Camden.

3. Paris- Fashion capital of Europe. Visit Champs Elysees for Dior, Disney Store, Louis Vuitton and just about every other stpre you can imagine. Paris isnt so budget friendly but little gift shops and markets sell beautiful compact mirrors, umbrellas and paintings for a reasonable price. Beauvais airport's duty free section sells Dior make-up for a discounted price so it's worth stocking up.

4.Florida- The Prime Outlets and Premium Outlets at either end of International Drive should be your first port of call. Stock up un pyjamas and undies from Victoria's Secret outlet, gymwear from the Nike Outlet, shoes from the Payless oulet, trainers from the Converse outlet and just about everything else from the hundreds of discounted stores. Florida Mall and Festival Bay Mall are also worth visiting.

Top Tips

1.Pack light if you intend to shop so you dont end up over your baggage allowance.
2.Check what size of shoes/clothes you are in the US/Europe/UK before you go.
3.Shop towards the end of your trip if possible as you will have got used to your destination and what to spend and will know how much money you have left over.
4.Try it on because you cant't take it back.
