New York City: Essex Market – A New Alternative to Chelsea Market?

The new Essex Market Even though Essex Market itself has existed since 1888, it only recently moved into a brand-new building. Once I heard about it, I wanted to go because there is (almost) nothing as great as a hodgepodge Read More …

- handbags πŸ‘›
- clothes for the girls πŸ‘•πŸ©³
- slippers 🩴
- tops πŸ‘š
- bath bombs πŸ¦‹
... and Lotti definitely felt very left out 😸

In the end, I feel I did well as I didn't buy blindly and too much. The girls absolutely love their new stuff.

Can you guess how much I paid in total? ⬇️
