So, I have managed to prop up America's flagging economy by just that little bit. During my week here, I have purchased a number of handbags, a couple of sweaters, a little black dress (from BCBG Maxazria at $100 off!), several pairs of shoes, a couple of pairs of jeans, some books, a new coat and a faux fur jacket. The pound may have weakened, but it is still a lot cheaper than London!

Factoring in the American-sized portions of food they serve here, New York is truly a consumerist's paradise.
