subject: Style And Fun On Your Next Vacation [print this page] Looking for your next vacation but rather than just lay on the beach you want to not only see the latest styles but dress in the latest styles then this article is for you. When on vacation, I like to dress up at night and rather than be the only one dressed up, I like to go to fashion destinations. Fashion vacations are a new trend probably because of the growing popularity of fashion reality TV. So if you are looking for that, here are my top 3 picks for cities that are not only fun but also have great fashion sense.
My heart will always be in Manhattan no matter where I live. I call it The City. I used to live on the Upper West Side in between Lincoln Center and Central Park West. There's always fun to be had but there's always extra fun during Fashion Week in February. Not only is it jam-packed with energy but you'll get first shot at seeing what's going to be hot for Spring and Summer. There's also parties, glamour and models. You'll experience great fashion at the clubs, bars, the Broadway shows as well as walking down the street. What do you wear? Well, the competition is stiff so you'd better be perusing the top fashion mags but donning classic black never goes out of style. There's no city like The Big Apple for fashion and fun on vacation. If you are visiting on vacation you'll need to find a fabulous place to crash. Great timeshare interval rentals are smart options for upscale accommodations but lighter on the wallet. They can be found mostly in mid-town at places like the Manhattan Club, a short cab-ride from the downtown bar scene.
Known for great food and fashion is Madrid, Spain coming in at number two on my list of fashion conscious cities. Madrid is not only jumping with art and museums but you'll see the latest fashions being worn right there in town. Madrid has Fashion Week during September and the city is jamming with cosmetic party company parties everywhere from rooftop to out in the open in city parks. We were invited to Museo Chicote, a cocktail bar for the fashionistas. The city shuts down for siesta during mid-day and then comes alive at night with singing, dancing, and drinking into the wee hours. Rather than trendy hotels, some escape to nearby Marbella for timeshare resorts like Diamond Resorts, Marriott, and Hyatt.
Stylish city number 3 is last by no means. I was able to visit to study in school years ago for the first time and we had so much fun. Copenhagen is most known for not only legalizing a certain drug but embracing it with bars that serve it. But it is also a fashion target with buyers from all over Europe visiting for the Fashion Week in August. Get over to Bar Rouge at the SKT Petri for fun all week. As a result of the massive amounts of buyers from all over the world, the fashion ranges from styles all over the world but Danes have their own unique style of dressing in layers with loosely tailored designs.
Other obvious cities like Paris and Milan are amazing as well but these are my favorites when it comes to fashion and fun. The people are stylish, nice, and ready to party all night. Be aware that the hot clubs and bars change each year for the most part but you can keep up with it by making friends with the concierge at your hotel as well as meeting people at the fashion shows and discussing the after parties. There are always great deals for accommodations so keep shopping. And that will leave you more money for picking up some fashion favorites while on vacation.
