New York: Surprises around EVERY corner!

On my first Saturday, October 18th, in New York City. My roommate and I wanted to shop around the city. I really wanted to see the Miu Miu store so we asked the locals where to go and they gave us 2 locations: Prince St. and W. 52nd St. Since we were not familiar with either of them we decided to go with W. 52nd St. (no specific reason). On our way to the store I started to notice that the area was not getting nicer; in fact it was starting to look more and more residential. I was thinking this wasn't the right store, but we continued walking since we figured block to block can look different.

As we were beginning to approach the street, I casually asked a young women if we were heading the correct way. She said that she was heading to the same location-- odd right?? As we approached the unmarked (no sign of Miu Miu) building we noticed a crowed... our lucky stars had us heading straight into the ONCE A YEAR Prada(and Miu Miu) SAMPLE SALE!!

Overwhelmed with joy we made our way into the building and ran to the shoes! After an hour of trying different pieces on, I settled on my very first pair of perfectly crafted satin Prada sandals with a carved pink-rose and green-stem heel!!! I of course got them for 25% of their original cost! They are fabulous! Jealous??? :) ny
