This summer, I was lucky enough to be able to go to America - for the second time! :D
My boyfriend and his family own a villa out there which makes it super cheaps for us to head over.
I can't tell you enough how much I fell in love with the place the first time and the second time just confirmed that!
We did the whole tourist/Disney stuff in 2012, so this time was more about getting a good tan and chillin' with my boyf, his parents and my two best friends (one of which is his sister which is incredibly convenient!)
As the boys were outnumbered, 2:4, we got to go shopping for a whole day this time round! (I will write another blog about other stuff we did while there but this one is mainly about shopping!)
Florida Mall is the biggest shopping centre I think I've ever been in and I think I could possibly live there for the rest of my life.. I'd be in heaven!
The most amazing thing about shopping in America is that when the shop has a sale on, you can use that discount on top of say a coupon and then you can maybe apply for a store card and get another 20% off all of that! It's actually insane and everything's pretty cheap anyway cause of the exchange rate too. I definitely have never bought so much for so little in my life! #broke
Although, I think that the UK shops should still bring this into their shops!
While in Florida Mall, we obviously visited every single shop that we possibly could.. or at least until I had zero dollas left.. So worth it though!
There were many shops that I would highly recommend visiting if you ever get the chance to such as Aeropostale, Hot Topic and American Eagle.
My absolute favourite was, most definitely, one called A'GACI. Originally, we walked striaght past this shop, until out of the corner of my eye, these beautiful royal blue skyscrapers shouted at me to come in and buy them!

"Becci come try me on" they yelled across the shop floor, so obviously, I couldn't pass up that invitation! However, while on my way to get my babies, there was another whisper from a sexy black pair which were also in need of a new and loving home!
FYI these pictures do not do them justice!
Anyway I had to try these on and buy them to add to my ever expanding collection of shoes - mum is gonna kill me I thought! :S
What made the whole experience even better.. How could it get better you say? Well the sales assistant was a young man, with the best style I've seen in ages, and the most impressive and well kept afro I think there ever has been! He was so helpful in helping us figure out the strange American sizings and even brought out a third pair of shoes for me to try 'just incase'!
Even though I know this is just another sales tactic, it was so thoughtful of him to bring a different style of shoe for me to try just incase i didn't like any of my choices! :) #cutie
His sassiness also made him that much cooler! :P
So, for you lovely readers, I looked on their website and picked a few items that stood out to me..
 Count 51 Metal Band Strappy Platform $36.50 |
I am absolutely in love with this Dogtooth pattern crop top! I am definitely a big fan of back detailing so this is right up my street! I neeeed this so badly :(
Cute In Houndstooth Crop $17.50
Aisha 13 Geo Fun Pump $38.50
Deep Hearts Abstract Jumpsuit $35.50
These are just a few of my top picks from http://www.agacistore.com/, but unfortunately when I found out that they don't deliver outside the US, I started sobbing and couldn't face it anymore.. The pain was just too much!
#sadtimes!
And with that happy note, I will end this blog and keep my fingers crossed that some lovely American will buy the crop top in a size small and send it to me...
Worth a try right?! :P
Love Becci xx
