Shopping in USA

Bendihorse

Going to USA on holidays in a few weeks time - SanFrancisco to be exact. I plan on buying a few bits in abercrombie seen as im there, leisure wear like a hoodie and trackie pants purely for comfort and i also plan on hitting old navy big style as its such good value for money. :cool:

One thing im just after remembering about shopping in usa is the frikkin shop assistants annoying you as you go around 'how are you today' and 'can i take those for you', then when they wait outside the changing room and fill you with complements you KNOW they dont mean... now im sure theres people who would love that kind of assistance but it drives me nuts, i just want to be left alone! :rolleyes:

SF being what it is, i also plan on doing some boutique shopping for one off pieces... NEED MORE MONEY tho, you never have enough! All dontations to the worthy cause greatfully accepted

I have €1000 approx to spend so ill have to do it wisely... No real point to this thread but im all excited so i had to let someone know

First stop ought to be Villains on Haight Street. If you're into sneakers a visit to Huf on Sutter Street is essential. They're a Nike Tier 0 account so they have limited edition sneakers that you wouldn't find anywhere else.

Anyone else find the women's clothes are extremely small fitting? Ended up buying the man's hoodies for the comfy sizes.

In Abercrombie, I buy xlarge in the female hoodies. Yes their clothes are on the extreemly small scale, imo they range roughly from ireland size 4 (XS) up to 12(XL) but thats it. Like i said, i only buy hoodies and trakkie pants because they are SO comfy and dont seem to loose that 'softness' after repeated washing. Wouldn't buy other stuff as its overpriced.

I meant i wouldn't buy other stuff in Abercrombie as i think its over priced and not worth the money, like i said, the fleeces (hoodies) and trackie bottoms last what i would consider an acceptable amount of time for the price of them. I got 2 good years out of my last hoodie, and it was WHITE!!
