Bergdorf Goodman and Saks are the luxury go-to stores in NYC. Nordstrom opened in 2019...then you have Fashionphile and TheRealReal boutiques. You have lots of options for your next trip!

Macy's is amazing. Lots of luxury, just not crazy snob prices. Their turnover is fast.

Bear in mind the shoes with the yellow tags were not Valentino Garavani but rather Mario Valentino (lower end brand)

Love the LV capucine handle with different colors 😍

Hey Steph! Hope you had a fantastic trip. Looking forward to all the great vlogs!

I have lived in the United States my whole life. And I have never been to New York. The flannel shirts are called Shackets here. It’s a shirt jacket combination. I’m glad to see you’re having fun looking around.

Steph your voice is so so adorable and I am so so happy to see your back to back vlogs you are my inspiration and I wish you have a fabulous Sunday💫🥺💖

If you make it to Dallas, go to North Park mall. They have one of the BEST LV stores. Ask for Yuki, she’s the best!😊

The LV apricot Capucine is my favourite from this video

Hi Steph, you should have gone to Nordstrom and not Nordstrom Rack. Furthermore, you really need to visit Neiman Marcus, Saks and most importantly Bergdorf Goodman for luxury! Not sure who advised you to come the states especially NY and shop Macys or the rack for luxury.

Macy's is amazing.

I didn't know that there were Macy's stores that carried Gucci and Luis Vuitton . (Macy's is a national chain) Most Macy's stores are geared for either middle income or upper middle income depending on the neighborhood. I remember years ago mentioning to a sales clerk at the Macy's in Annapolis , Maryland that I had better luck finding clothes at the Waldorf, Maryland store and she told me that the Waldorf store is a "C" store. We can probably assume that this NYC Macy's store is an "A" store.

I love your lockme ever bag Steph ❤

Yes Macy's herald square just a bit more of a historical landmark. Bergdorfs, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus. A+ shopping. I hope your next visit you can go to the SoHo area, or even Columbus Circle. There are sooo many super cool independent shops as well downtown. Basically, when I get off the train, I make a B line right out of midtown. 😅 Looked like an absolutely gorgeous day, though, in the Big Apple 🍎 😊

Hi, Steph - Head to Bergdorf Goodman or Saks Fifth Avenue - not sure if you can film in either of those stores. You will find all of the designer brands in those two stores and Nordstrom, as mentioned by another viewer. Bergdorf Goodman is just my favorite store in NYC. Check out the restaurant on the 7th floor for lunch or tea (make a reservation). A real treat! Hope you had a ball in NYC!

One of my favorite bags is the Bedford medium satchel by Michael Kors, bought in Florida. I'm not sure how much they are showing it now, mine is in a lovely pebble leather.

Welcome to the US! I'm from Dallas TX, I cannot wait for you to see TX.

It is. People badmouthing it don't know how to shop. Yes, they don't have the highest end. Not that kind of store. You won't get a Tom Ford lipstick at CVS. But you will get good prices on many items. Same with Macy's. You can get Tom Ford make up at Macy's. But you won't get Dior clothes If you have the money for the highest end, great. But don't badmouth stores that smart people shop.

That Celine bag is gorgeous. I think it might be my favorite bag of yours. And at 9:30 there's a guy with his pants down behind you, LOL.

Unfortunately I've found limited stock in London. US has so many more products on luxury brands... Corporate hubs are US based, and they don't want to lose face by not having products to sell nationwide to retailers. I've found the UK is very limited on bags. Once there are gone, distributions are difficult to restock...have the best time in Texas 🤠 🇺🇸

Go to Bergdorf’s. Too bad Henri Bendel is gone.

Lucky is a great brand. Do you watch the guy that cuts up bags to examine leather? I think he really liked Lucky.

Hey there, Steph! The Capusines always steal the show. If they look half as beautiful in person as they do in vlogs or online, I would be swooning like in the old movies, lol. Thanks for sharing and I’m looking for to seeing your next shopping videos.

Right if you have a gazillion $

Bergdorf’s, Saks, Neiman Marcus these are the stores you should check out if you want high end. Macy’s is not high end and really Nordstrom isn’t either imo

I have 2 pairs of Ugg boots, but not the style everyone buys.

US 5 is a LOT smaller than UK5

OMG! I am a little embarrassed for us here in the US with this shopping trip 😂. I do have to say that Nordstrom Rack is a crap shoot and has gotten more like a TJ Max. It’s looking more like outlet products rather than actual boutique at a discounted price. I’m shocked the NYC store was that bad. That looked very disappointing. I’m sorry 😂. Sometimes you can find some cute Tory Burch things there and Veronica Beard is a nice brand, but I don’t think you got a great representation of that. Lucky Brand has cute things but I don’t think Macy’s buys the best selections. It’s more hippy/boho vibes. You are only finding Gucci and LV at Macy’s because it’s the NYC flagship. I would skip Macy’s if you are looking for higher end European brands especially anywhere in the US that isn’t a major city. You don’t find high end European brands at a regular Macy’s. They might have some luxury cosmetics but that would be it. I hope Saks was better. I’ll look for that video.

I don’t like Michael Kors; I can’t think of any MK bags that are an original design; MK just copies other designers bags.

I actively avoid Macys 😅 most of them are sad and dusty 🙈 I’m also not a fan of outlets or outlet brands. Rather just save up to buy something I really like from a boutique or go for a smaller contemporary brand with better quality

Why are you wearing shorts in NYC? Aren't most people wearing skirts? Don't wear shorts in Manhattan Longchamp backpacks and bags can be $100 plus less in NR. Try looking online
