Have you ever thought about the shopping experience? For me is like entering into a whole new world of tones of possibilities. First, I start by being really depressed, of course, and end up having a happiness rush. Explaining it to all of you how all this credit card approval noise addiction works is understanding how you can get over someone or some situation for at least some hours.

If there is a crucial part of it all, it is being depressed, because scientifically talking all your hormones level are making you stressed, down and really not into anything or anyone, but when you enter the mall is like the brain activates your neurological system and all you can think about are colors, lights, shoes, make up, styling and so on, the list is endless.

I also had the amazing idea of getting the subway, it seems I was so up to adventures today, I had to do it all at once. This adrenaline rush, its tipically me, when I want to do something I just do it with all taxes included.

The subway is great deal when you talk about fashion, so many styles, so many different individuals, you start noticing a vintage dress from a girl standing next to the door, a nice pair of Prada shoes from the Wall street business man and finally the thing I couldn`t take my eyes off, a nice and new Louis Vuitton bag...(to be continued)
