Henri Bendel

Inspired by the biggest shopping day quickly approaching (Black Friday of course...the day after Thanksgiving for those unfamiliar with the madness), I want to explain the allure of Henri Bendel. "A girl's playground," is the perfect description for this depatment store made up of boutiques. It has the largest selection of accessories I have ever seen (especially hair accessories), not to mention amazing jewelry, make-up and little Bendel logo must-haves. Seeing the crisp brown and white stripe bags on the street makes me jump. I can't help but indulge each time I enter this fashion palace. Although it is a zoo on Black Friday (and most weekends leading up to the holidays), it is a must stop shop and has everything on a girl's wishlist.
