Woodbury Common = Bargain Shopping Mecca

Woodbury Common – I’d heard about it for years and years but was never afforded the opportunity to visit the holy grail of bargain shopping. However yesterday was my day. So I trekked out to Central Valley, New York to get my shop on.

I don’t think you all understand just how much I love shopping for designer deals. I seriously LOVE it. The feelings I had in the days leading up to my epic shopping trip was equivalent to a child counting the days down til Christmas. It was that serious. I studied the store directory and had a good hard look at the map to get my game plan in order.

Of course nothing went as planned. I needed to have started shopping way earlier in the day than I did because the stores closed before I was finished shopping. But the shopping experience was so magnificent I will be back, in October to be exact.

Here are some of the stand out stores that I visited and a few that I plan on visiting next time I go:

  • Saks OFF 5th
  • Neiman Marcus Last Call
  • Barney’s New York Outlet
  • Valentino
  • Tom Ford
  • Chloe
  • Marni
  • Balenciaga (they closed 15 minutes early so I didn’t get to go in)
  • Dior
  • Dolce & Gabbana
  • J. Crew
  • Missoni
  • Oscar de la Renta
  • Wolford
  • Jimmy Choo

 

Oh and here are a couple of tips for shopping at this magical outlet center:

  1. Wear flats: Sounds like a duh but some people try to be cute while their shopping.
  2. Know the hours and watch the clock: The stores close at 9pm. So plan your shopping accordingly.
  3. Bring a map: This is like a shopping village so definitely carry your map with you, you’ll need it
  4. Check the info center: They have coupons so hit up the information center that is located in the food court
  5. Put things on hold: You might find a better deal elsewhere and who wants to carry all those bags around?

 

Ugh, so amazing!! Have you all been to Woodbury Common? What did you think of the shopping experience?
