Shopping In Philly

Barney's Co-Op
Rittenhouse Square

Barneys is the magical land of fashion-the mothership, everything that is right with the world.  It's not quite Barneys New York, but that just leaves more things I can purchase and less time admiring the unaffordable.  When you walk in you can just smell the Marc Jacobs leather, you can feel the fine fabrics of Diane Von Furstenberg, and wrap yourself up in the cozy cottons of Splendid and Ella Moss, mmmm I just love it.

Zara
Walnut Street

Zara is an internationally recognized chain developed in the Southern Regions of Spain.  Its European influences make their product stand out in the crowded world of fashion.  My first trip to Zara was during my visit to Granada, Spain-even though their was one right here in Philly!  I immediately fell in love with the store and I'm still loving Philly's little touch of Spain today!

Urban Outfitters
Walnut Street

Urban Outfitters is Philadelphia's claim to fame.  The company was born and raised here and has now expanded all over the United States, Canada and Europe.  The hipster-esque designs really represent a large part of Philadelphia Style.  Not only does Urban carry clothing, but furniture, fun and quirky gifts / books.  Urban Outfitters has become not just a store, but a lifestyle.

Boyd's Department Store
Chestnut Street - Rittenhouse

Boyd's began in 1938 by three brothers and was a men's department store.  It wasn't until 1993 that they decided to add a women's department.  Now they carry such brands as Just Cavalli, M  Missoni, Diane Von Furstenburg, Dolce and Gabbana, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, and Catherine Malandrino.  It's a great department store and it is ONLY located in Philadelphia. 

Just a few amazing stores to check out!

    Nice blog! Gems and jewelry have always been the most important in women’s life. And amongst all, pearls are soft and sensuous elements that make women look more beautiful, desirable and confident. Hyderabad, a city of pearls is an ideal place in India to make a purchase of best in quality pearls at affordable prices. With this, I would like to suggest one to visit Mangatraionline.com,famous jewelers in Hyderabad, popularly identified with finest quality pearls and great designs.
