New york, new york.

So in about a week and a month I will be in the big USA. And there I will show them how we do it in Gothenburg. So here's some notes for myself. Just so I keep focus and wont spend my hard-earned (ok... that's a lie) money on rubbish. I will shop for my spring/summer-wardrobe only. Probably I will find more stuff that I need, but this is my take-off point. Maybe I post pictures of the things that I'm totally sure of, but that will be in a day or two.

What I have to get (clothwise)

- White Converse
- Bikini for the summer
- Jeansshorts (white, black and blue)
- Trenchcoat
- Shirts (white, striped, checked... you name it)
- Polo Ralph Lauren knits
- Calvin Klein undies and bras
- The perfect white T-shirt
- Cool sunglasses
- Pretty skirt
- Large-knitted sweater (think ACNE-men)

Other vital things that needs to get bought

- Lifetime supply of Victoria's Secret lipgloss
- Magazines
* Vogue
* ELLE
* i:D
* Harper's Bazar
* V
* InStyle
- Candy
* Skittles
* Reeses
- Concealer from TimeBalm
- Mascara from Dior
- Blush from NARS
- Lipstick from NARS or YSL
- Clinique All About Eyes
- Facial mask from Kiehl's
- Eye shadow from LORAC

And here are were I will get them

Sephora
All the make-up things will be bought at one time, in one shop and that's Sephora. Understood?
Levi's (WBCO)
Jeans shorts? Merci.
M Missoni (WBCO)
At WBCO look out for their beautiful (overpriced) scarfes.
Victoria's Secret
Yummy lipgloss, here I come. Buy gifts for the girls (how many have you promised?) here. Try out the "new" Secret Garden too.
J crew (WBCO)
Check out swimwear, the shorts and the adorable blouses.
Converse (WBCO)
WHITE converse. Look out for cool and "i-wear-a-tshirt-and-i-still-look-hot"-kinda clothes.
Forever 21
I know you panic in here, but don't fall for the 'cute' printed tees. You're so much better then that.
Polo Ralph Lauren (WBCO)
Money to burn. Don't hold back.
Kiehl's
Here look for facial masks
Henri Bendel
Beautiful shopping-bags, I know. So find something you need. (Maybe a hatbox full of candy or you might find your next favourite perfume?) Go down a floor and you find an always on-going sale.
Spence-Chapin Thrift Shop
Not totally sure, but have a look.
Screaming Mimi's
Look for sunglasses.
Fox& Fawn
Was named the best vintage shop by New York Magazine.
