Supported by Where Magazine and IN New York Magazine tourists will receive a taste of what is hot in the New York shopping scene and be able to check out new destinations to take home that perfect purchase. Taking place one week prior to Thanksgiving shoppers will be spoilt for choice on where to get a one of a kind Holiday outfit as well as pick up gifts for family and friends.

PrettyCity.com will be updating beauty lovers with the must have pampering events to attend including a fashion exhibition and make-overs at Clarins Skin Spa, a Gentleman’s evening at Sarar with facials/shaves and massages in a Soho shoe store.

Continuing its support for ethical fashion, Nolcha has partnered with Morsbags to produce shopping totes that are funky, strong, fabric reusable bags made from recycled duvet covers, curtains and vintage clothes that will be given consumers to replace the traditional goodie bags and plastic shopping bags.
