For the #LoveofShoes Event with The Mills at Jersey Gardens

love-ofshoesevent

I’ve always said that I could sit around for hours and talk about shoes. Well, last Friday I got to put that theory to the test with the wonderful folks at The Mills at Jersey Gardens mall in Elizabeth, NJ. In honor of their #LoveofShoes mall-wide sale taking place this month, I got to kick up my heels (so to speak) and dish out shopping tips and fashion advice on all things shoe-related.

The event kicked off with a special shoe delivery from Century 21. You guys know how much I adore designer shoes, and Century 21 is one my favorite spots to hit up for all the brands I love at a price that’s easy on the pocketbook.

I’m definitely a lady who enjoys the finer things in life… However, that doesn’t mean I like to break the bank.  Au contraire!  In fact, most of my best finds have been procured from one of three places: the clearance rack, eBay, or the thrift store.  Over the years, I’ve gotten a few emails from inquiring minds who’d like to know my favorite shopping destinations in NYC.  And since thrift stores are ALWAYS at the top of my lists of recommendations, I thought I’d share the wealth with the rest of you readers should you ever find yourself in my neck of the woods.

I find thrift store shopping in Manhattan to be somewhat of a sport, so I’ll usually spend an entire afternoon pounding the pavement and bouncing around to half a dozen shops or more all in one go. Below are my two favorite thrift store shopping routes to follow when I feel the urge NOT to splurge!
