Bryant Park Hotel, NYC

Wallis leather moto jacket

From the same UK corporation (Arcadia Group) that delivers trendy clothes/accessories/make-up at 'IT' store TOPSHOP...arrives four new labels to the colonies-Miss Selfridges targeting 18-30 ish years old, Wallis-for 35+, Dorothy Perkins -for 20's--- 40's (imo) and Evans -a plus sizes label.

Prices are accessible-some items slightly above the typical H&M---with almost all items clocking in under $100...and no worries-well made too.

holiday Miss Selfridges-Glittery sequins ornate beaded frocks-

We thought the quality thoroughly decent---and often many selections across the brands would be appealing to many different age groups of ladies. We were told that all labels have their own stores...but we could see how over here where the heritage of the labels is not so ingrained...we could see USA-ers cross shopping. FYI: we were told the sizes will be American sizes---not UK ones...which are different.

lots of strappy heels...
