The streets of New York City don’t tell a tale of economic crisis. Walking through mid town you’d think there’s a fat fed check sitting in your mail box (oooh and maybe the neighbors’ too). Big apple fashion addicts were out shopping for, well, everything. Some laugh in the face of recession while others are clinging to their blue suede shoes in hopes of buying the bag to match. Either way they were out and about finding something to quench their apparel thirst.

This group of Baltimore natives hits the stores at least once or twice a week in search of stand out accessories. They say the item flying off the shelves is sunglasses. I mean, look at theirs, it’s obvious they know where the good ones are.

Harem pant, heels, scarf and fedora equals a red alert on the fashionista radar. This one puts shirts and dresses at the top of her shopping list. Compulsive shoppers know best: ankle boot sandals and harem pants are the latest rage. She might beat you to the store so, order online.

Teach a man how to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime. Teach a lady how to make her own clothes and don’t expect her to shop for more than fabric. She says shiny spandex is in and gladiators are still holding on to a never ending reign, though paying attention to trends isn’t her preferred pastime.

The next time you’re out shopping, pull out your best threads. You never know where the bloggers are lurking. Oh, and try to be nice.
