They say a true Chelsea girl will always be in love with London - especially King's Road. Yet just one trip to the heart of New York can change everything. Not only are sample sales served for breakfast, lunch AND dinner but the platters they are served on are also a lot cleaner and bigger. Yes, in true American style I found myself walking a couple of very long Avenues, from the upper east side all the way down to the garment district (ironically called Chelsea) and my collection of shopping bags just wouldn't stop growing. Whereas a trip to Sloane Street followed by King's Road only takes up half a day max, this new territory remained partly unexplored even after 7 days of hardcore dollar loss. Sometimes bigger really is better.
