Abercrombie & Fitch is the brand hunks, jocks, surfer dudes (and whichever good looking group of people you can think of) are synonymous with. The models on the posters are sexy, gorgeous looking and all have chiselled bodies. But that’s just an ad right? Or so I thought too. Walking along Fifth Avenue the other day, I spotted the store next to high end label Prada. I have NEVER been to an actual A&F store and had no idea what was in store.
This 4 storey store looked decent on the outside, but little did I know it held exciting and yummylicious things on the inside.
Step through the front doors and a half naked dude is the first thing that greets you. Oh hello. Sorry, you say there was a girl? Oh yes! According to my pictures, there was a girl. And she’s actually pretty cute. But I’m not exactly interested in girls. Let’s get back to the guy. He’s half naked. And has a good body to match that nakedness. Even the two “bouncers” are pretty delish. Mmm….
The interior of the shop is dark akin to a club, and the music is bound to set some heads nodding and feet tapping. You browse the wide range of adorable clothes and browse the good-looking boys, sadly wishing it was them you’d cart home. Alas, the store is where the boys will stay and it’s the plush clothing that you take home.
It is a little hard to want to leave this haven full of delicious goodies thanks to its seductive atmosphere; I swear the boys have nothing to do with it. I wish we could show you photos of what it was like to be inside the shop. But, one, they didnt allow photography inside. Two, it was hard to take any photos because Michelle and I were both busy gawking. How is it possible they managed to find so many good-looking people all housed in the SAME building?! Even the dressing rooms were incredibly sexy. Soft orange lighting and music playing, it was hard not to want to cam-whore inside.
Tank tops go for about USD24 while bottoms, both jeans and skirts, start from USD50 and go anywhere up to USD70. Pretty pricey if you ask me. But everything about this store is delectable and I walked out of there with two skirts. They were too cute! Yes yes, I was so busy shopping that I missed Sneaker Sunday this week. But Violet and I are planning to do something exciting next week once I get back.
So anyway, back to my shopping. I bought one skirt from Abercrombie exactly like that of the girl in the group photo. If I wore the exact same getup as her, do you think I could fit in and get a job there? Hahaha.
