After a short chat with a girlfriend who had just returned from a 3-weeks long New York vacation with her hubby, I felt like changing our Japan family vacation plans right away!

She actually went to four factory outlet stores in New York and bought lots of stuff. Asked her how was her vacation and she answered, “We are broke but it is good!” – so funny! She bought her Guess watches, Kate Spade’s accessories, Liz Claiborne clothing, Clarins skin care…etc. Besides all that shopping, she had lots of rave about on New York City Sightseeing and I believe she isn’t the only one who is feeling that way. For those who can’t make it to New York, I guess you just have to check out the online stores for many good deals and bargains this summertime. Have a great weekend!
