The Shopping Mecca of New Jersey

If you're not from around here you'll probably be amazed at the sheer amount of malls and shopping centers. If you're looking for a store, chances are it'll be in this town. If you travel on Routes 4 and 17, those are the main highways going around. The bulk of the malls and centers are on these roads, so you can't miss them. Beware though, on a Saturday midday, going on either road could be endagering your life. The traffic is crazy. But if you're in the area, and have some time to spare, it's worth it to hit up the shopping area.

Michael Kors: Shopping for a New Bag for my Wife

My wife and I were at the Westfield Garden State Plaza for an afternoon of shopping. We decided to stop into Michael Kors to check out a bag my wife had her eye on online but wanted to see in person before buying. Michael Kors is a favorite store of my wife's and she is always on the lookout for her next "new" item. She has several bags, sunglasses and shoes of this brand.

I have to say the customer service in the store was lacking for a high end store. No one greeted us or asked if we needed assistance for at least ten minutes; even with my wife picking up various bags throughout the store. Finally a young salesgirl came out from the store room and asked if we needed assitance...why yes we did. My wife was intered in their Jet Set Travel tote but was unsure of the color she wanted. She was stuck between a bright pink and an aqua blue. After trying them both she went for the bright pink(I thought it was the right choice). After talking to the sales girl she decided to get the version of the bag that had a zipper insert for a tablet/laptop. I thought that made it an even better bag for travel and not just an everyday bag.

With her choice made, the sales girl went into the back to retrieve a new bag for my wife. We went to the cashier and paid for our purchase; making my wife happy to have a new bag from one of her favorite stores.

What to buy: Shoes, sungrasses, bags and accessories.

What to pay: It depends on the style, size and fabric of the item. I've paid as little as $200 for a bag and as much as $800. This bag in particular came to $315 with tax.

Westfield Garden State Plaza: A visit to the Mall

Located 8 miles from Manhattan, the shopping centre has a history of some fifty years.

With five anchors and almost 300 shops, the mall is spread over 2.1 million square foot.

It is one of the Westfield Group of shopping centres which span the globe.

the one downside seemed to be there was no Bookstore of any description.

What to buy: I was able to enjoy all my favourite stores at some better prices than I can in the UK. I was able to shop in Old Navy, Aeropostale and of course Abercrombie and Fitch.

Some of these only exist in the USA and the others are much cheaper to shop in than their UK based stores.

So in my case it was clothes, clothes and more clothes.
