My fiance and I absolutely love that place!! Just make sure to have enough money and plastic handy b/c there are so many stores (I need to pay the Coach store a visit!!), it could take you all day to stop at all of the stores.
Let us know when you plan to visit NY.

I'm completely down with what KillarneyRose has to say about shopping for high-end items WHEN YOU HAVE TO DRESS THE PART as far as jobs are concerned. In some businesses in some cities, it's the only way to go.
But...I don't think some of the people who are posting in defence of obscenely-priced items need to dress extremely well for a job...just walking around on campus. It seems that once you have to start paying your bills, those things become less of a priority.
As for me, I have moments. When I was in Italy last spring, I bought a lot of stuff at Diesel, because it's about half of the price of what it would cost in the States, and the jeans looked hot on me. I am not averse to outlet shopping, sales, or stores like TJMaxx. The person, not the clothing, makes the style.

I make pretty darn good money for a college student, and I'm lucky enough to have my parents help (read: pay) with the bills so I can spend my money on almost whatever I want and I have one major credit card with a high limit.
Clothes I don't really care about. Most of my closet is Banana, Lerner, J. Crew, and Limited for work, and everything from bebe, Guess, and Express to Old Navy and Target (gotta love mossimo) for regular clothes. I still can't justify $200 for a t-shirt!!
Now shoes are a totally different story!!!!! I blame Sex and the City for my recently discovered shoe fetish. My first pair of Manolo Blahnik pumps was like a religious experience!! While visiting a cousin in DC, we took a shopping trip to NYC, and I have been worshipping Blahnik and Jimmy Choo every since. My accessories probably account for at least 75% of the cost of my wardrobe. Now, don't get me wrong--I don't walk around in $500 pairs of shoes all the time. Those are my "grown-up"/"I'm feeling sexy today" shoes. On campus you can find me in Nikes, Timberlands, or flip-flops--although I have broke down and worn my Blahnik "timbs" a couple of times to class......

lol....thats not low end......I say both. When I talk to people who are not from Palm Beach, they don't know what city I'm talking about unless I say West Palm. It's kinda weird considering the county is Palm Beach county.
Are you from there?

Therein lies the problem.
There are so many "fakes" on ebay, so many. It's hard to tell of what you bought is truly the real thing. I'd be kinda sketchy if you bought a gown that was $2,000 for only $100.....real sketchy.....

eBay
There are some designers I'd never even think of buying w/o trying to authenticate. For instance, I found a site that's devoted to KS bags. The creator has scanned in authentic patterns and styles. It's a good tool:

Yeah I didn't even know it was a different city untill I went there.
no, I don't live there, but I know a few peeps from the area, and my Dad lives further south.
I went to the only club on the island once and was shocked to find myslef in a sea of 16 year olds clad in Ralph Lauren cruise wear. It was pretty obvious that the big $$ didn't cross that small patch of innercoastal unless they wanted to go to the airport.
