New York Haul- Cloths & Accessories

"Shopaholics why they call 'em my addiction, my prescription, 
Gimme shoes and give me bags 
How much you want I need 'em bad "

Welcome to the second part of my American Haul. This time i showing u some of the good deals i got.
I would like to spend  a few words saying how much i love Juicy Couture sales : they had 40% off everything even sales items which were already super crazy on sales. In fact i ended up getting things from them with 80% aka a fraction of the price.
My biggest love goes for Nordstrom Rack! I ADORE that shop! I got the brown Michael Kors sweater i am showing you from 120 $ to just 36$! Let's all take a moment of contemplation for it.
Another pleasant discover was Aldo, i got the two pastels necklaces for the amazing offer: get 2 pay 1. I am not a big fan of the whole pastel trend that's going on but these two necklaces are very cute and timeless and i can make them go with various outfits. I already have a long maxi black dress that i can use with them.
I would like to thank again my friend that showed me the "Shopping is my cardio " top at Forever 21. I could have left USA with only that top and i would have been the happiest girl on the planet.
I love love love it! It makes all my friend laugh so much when they see it.
Same thing goes with the " Queen of the f*****g Universe top " that i got at Juicy Couture. Can't wait to wear it!

Uggs, what to say? You can hate them or love them but one thing cannot change: they are the most comfortable thing on the planet! I lived on them in New York!
I now understand why they are so famous: you feel like you are walking on pillows!  They are the most comfortable thing ever! I approve them with flying colors!
I decided to go for a very short model (Mini short  Bailey Button  in Chestnut ). I'm short and i didn't want something to make me look even shorter.

I then decided to get some typical tourist things too aka my Hard Rock Cafe and New York t-shirts.
Quoting my friend Viola: " Why should you get a post card when a t-shirt says it better ? " .

New York Haul - Beauty Products & First Impressions of USA !

HELLOOOOO!!
So, i'm very sorry for the lack of posts but New York really got me and it's been very hard to recover from Jet leg and come back to "normal life" after an AMAZING time spent in New York.
So, first things first. I really loved shopping in New York! Nobody can beat the amazing American prizes ( if you compare them to italian ones they are 1/3 and there are constant crazy sales!
I ADORED going shopping and i ended up using every little moment of free time to do it.
Before going to New York i had done several researches and seen tons of videos to get to know the best places to go and the best things to get and it really paid off since everything is bigger in the states and you can easily get overwhelmed and taken away by the huge amount of things you see.

I was made fun from everybody for the fact that i had lists of tons of  beauty products i wanted to get and that really helped me a lot when i was at CVS or any other beauty supply store. I decided to go mainly to drugstores since the high end products are available here too for the same prices but nothing beats drugstore products for at least all the time 1/3 or 1/2 of the prices.
I was happily amazed by the huge variety offered by the stores. I 'm still in shock after see in a huge aisle of deodorants only! Here we barely get a shelf! Oh God!
Another thing that really amazed me was the crazy deals and coupons offers that you get. I can't count the times i got sales just because i said i was Italian ( yes, that happened at Michael Kors ) and the ordinary buy one and get another 40% off. ( i love you cvs! ) .
I still have to recover to that heaven for shopaholics since now all the italian prices seem a robbery to me.

So here there is the first part of the huge amount of things i purchased in New York. Soon in the next post i will show you all the non beauty related products i got (aka cloths and accessories) .

I already excuse my self if in the next months i will be bombarding you with reviews of the following products but since i got them and tried them i discovered that doing researches before going helped me get all the best products and that i'm completely madly in love with 99% of them!


So, lets stop talking and let's leave the photos speak !




Ciaoooooooo!!!
Allora, mi dispiace molto per la mancanza di posti  frequenti e regolai, ma New York mi ha davvero preso ed è stato molto difficile riprendersi dal jet leg  e tornare alla "vita normale" dopo momenti indimenticabili trascorsi  a New York .
Quindi , prima le cose più importanti,ho adorato alla follia lo shopping a New York ! Nessuno può battere gli incredibili prezzi americani! ( se li si confronta con quelli italiani che sono 1/ 3 e ci sono svendite pazzesche costantemente)
Adoravo andare a fare shopping e ho finito per usare ogni breve  momento di tempo libero per farlo .
Prima di andare a New York avevo fatto diverse ricerche e ho visto una miriade  di video per conoscere i  posti da non perdere   e le cose da comprare e tutta questa organizzazione è stata  ripagata dal momento che  essendo tutto di dimensioni gigantesche negli Stati Uniti , essere facilmente sopraffatti e presi via dalla enorme quantità di cose che si vedono è alla base della quotidianità per i turisti e io invece non ho mai provato questo senso di smarrimento.

Sono stato presa in giro da tutti per il fatto che avevo fatto lunghissimi  elenchi di migliaia di prodotti di bellezza che volevo comprare e testare . Ciò mi ha davvero aiutato molto quando ero da  CVS o in qualsiasi altro negozio di bellezza.
Ho deciso di andare principalmente nei drugstore in quanto i prodotti di fascia alta sono disponibili anche qui per gli stessi prezzi, ma niente batte  i prezzi dei  prodotti drugstore (lì costano 1/3 o al massimo 1/2 di quanto costano qui) .
Sono stata felicemente sorpresa dalla grande varietà offerta dai negozi . Sono ancora sotto shock dopo aver visto in un supermercato un  enorme corridoio di soli deodoranti ! Qui abbiamo a malapena uno scaffale ! Oh Dio!
Un'altra cosa che veramente mi ha stupito è stato le offerte folli e sconti che vengono  fatti e offerti . Ho perso il conto delle volte ho ottenuto sconti solo perché ho ​​detto che ero italians (sì ,è  quello che è successo a Michael Kors ) e l'ordinario comprare uno e ottenere un altro con il  40% di sconto . ( Ti amo cvs ! ) .
Devo ancora riprendermi da quel paradiso per gli amanti dello shopping in quanto ora tutti i prezzi italiani  mi sembrano una  vera rapina .

Così eccomi con la prima parte della enorme quantità di cose che ho comprato a New York . Presto nel prossimo post vi mostrerò tutti i vestiti e accessori che ho comprato.

Mi scuso già da adesso se nei prossimi mesi vi bombarderò con le recensioni dei seguenti prodotti, ma dato che li ho presi e  ho scoperto,provandoli, che fare  ricerche prima di andare mi ha aiutato a ottenere tutti i migliori prodotti e che io sono completamente innamorata  con il 99 % di loro !

Quindi, bando alle chicchere ecco le foto! 


This Make up bag by Sonia Kashiuk made my trip!
It saved me from all my messiness and allowed me to get so much organized. I wish they had it in other colors and sizes .
Did i mention it was reduced from 19.90$ to just 6? I know, i couldn't let it in the shop!
It had my name on it!
