For the fashion enthusiasts and, especially for the convicts of the Shopping, two of the most popular destinations are undoubtedly Paris e New York, two very different cities accessible with cheap flights, but shared by their privileged relationship with fashion, design and the latest trends.
To the delight of most fashionistas among you, let's see some of the places not to be missed in these two fantastic cities, not without dwelling on some useful advice ranging from how to find hotels in Paris to where eat cheaply in New York.

If you love luxury and maybe visit the city right during the Fashion Week, look for a hotel that allows you to quickly reach the Lincoln Center, home of New York Fashion Week, located between Columbus Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue inUpper West Side di Manhattan.
If you look for quaint shops and you want to experience and breathe the most authentic cultural ferment of New York, but we recommend other areas, such as SoHo (name meaning "South of Houston Street"). It was once an industrial area, specializing precisely in textile industries, but in recent decades the department stores began to be transformed into lofts, changing the face of the district, which today is home to artistic studies, galleries, boutiques and many shops not to be missed.
If you then had some homesickness, for our cuisine and, why not, for our fashion, don't forget a visit to Little Italy, in particular in its northern area, also called Nolita.
Little Italy is located east of SoHo, once, as you can imagine, it was the district of Italian immigrants, but today, despite retaining the atmosphere of the past and being home to many restaurants and bakeries, it is also a decidedly fashionable place, chosen as a home by artists, young students and professionals.

In the area of Champs Elysées, near the Orsay Museum you will find many shops, malls and high fashion boutiques. If you are looking for fun in addition to shopping, we recommend the Latin neighborhood, which literally pulsates with life, thanks to the presence of the Sorbonne and, therefore, to many university students always on the move, with a great desire to make noise and have fun.
Not far from the Louvre, we recommend instead Les Halles, once a thriving covered market, today a shopping area, characterized by sumptuous shops, such as those of Cartier and other important jewelers.
