Victoria Secret

 
Victoria Secret, ademas de ser una tienda estupenda y con ropa que me encanta (no solo interior), es un lugar en el que se pueden pasar ratos divertidisimos, tanto si vas sola como si vas acompañada. Esta segunda opcion es aun mejor :)
El fin de semana pasado nos visito la hermana de Thomas, nos encanto verla y ademas, hicimos algunos planes en Chicago, entre ellos, ir a Victoria Secret!! :)
La tienda de Michigan Avenue es enorme, ropa interior en la planta baja y ropa de calle en la planta superior.
Victoria Secret is a great shop with wonderful women's underwear but it is also the perfect place to have fun if you go there alone or as a group activity with girl friends :). This last option is the best!!
Last weekend Thomas' sister visited us. We loved having her here with us! We planned many things in Chicago and a visit to Victoria Secret was included!! :) The store in Michigan Avenue is huge. It has all kind of underwear on the ground floor and the rest of the clothes are on the first floor.
El sabado, en la entrada de la tienda habia una dependienta que se ofrecia para medirte "el busto" y decirte tu talla. Despues le contabas lo que ibas buscando y te hacia una tarjetita con tu talla, modelos en mente, etc. He de decir que me parezco a una tabla, pero esta chica me midio y me dijo que yo tenia una talla "32 DD", jajajaja! Si yo no paso de la copa "B", jeje! Yo creo que lo hacen para que nos emocionemos :). Despues de medirnos, pasamos a los probadores, aqui os enseño algunas fotos. La luz no era exactamente asi, aunque he de decir que es una iluminacion que hace que no se vean mucho las "imperfecciones" jejeje!
Cada probador  lleva el nombre de algun lugar exotico del mundo como "Saint Tropez" o "Milano".
We went to the store last Saturday. There was a shop-assistant at the entrance of the store and she was there to measure us and tell us about our current size :) and give us advice about the different models of underwear we were looking for. I must say that I am almost like a board and this girl told me my size was "32 DD", WTF!! I've never had anything different than "B cup", ahhaha! I think they do it just to get us excited and think we have big b...:):)
After that we went to the fitting rooms, they are big, nice with comfortable chairs and sofas. The light was not as bad as on the pictures, but I think the illumination is designed so you don't see your skin "defects" :)
Each of the rooms has the name of an exotic place in the world such as "Saint Tropzz" or "Milano".

 
 
Probador Saint Tropez. Saint Tropez fitting-room

Probadores, se que esta lejos, pero en el espejo se refleja la sala. Picture of the fitting rooms outside, even though it is small, the mirror's reflection shows how is the place.
 
 
Una vez dentro del probador las dependientas nos trajeron varios modelos de la talla sugerida. Por supuesto, me tuvieron que traer una talla menor, ya que lo de la copa DD fue solo un espejismo, ajajja! Cada vez que te probabas algo podias llamar a tu dependienta pulsando el timbre que se ve en la foto :), empezaba a parpadear y ella aparecia al momento, jeje!
 Once inside the fitting room the shop assistants brough several bras of our suggested size. They had to bring me a smaller size because the double D size was just an illusion, hahaha! Everytime you try something on you can press a bell inside the room to call your personal assistant :), the bell starts blinking until she arrives. That's cool!

Probador por dentro. Inside of the fittim room.

El timbre, no lo pille parpadeando...The bell, I couldn't catch it blinking :)
 
 
En esta foto se ve lo grandes que son los probadores. Si, estoy probandome un camison, pero bueno, como no es muy sexy ni se ve nada indiscreto, planto la foto :)
You can see here how big the fitting rooms are. Yes, it is me trying something on. It is not very sexy and you can't see anything forbiden so I just post it :)

 
 
Tambien probamos los perfumes de Victoria Secret. Lo mejor es que habia una persona, un señor (si, tambien hay hombres que trabajan alli, entre mujeres que se vuelven locas entre montañas de bragas, jajaja) que se dedicaba a ponerte el perfume en un probador o en tu propia piel y te abanicaba el brazo hasta que el aroma era el adecuado :) No pude fotografiar el momento, pero me hubiera encantado hacerlo!
We also tried the VS perfumes. The best of all was that there was a guy (yes, there are also men working there, among millions of women crazy for buying panties and bras) whose job was to give you advice about perfume, put a sample on a piece of paper or just on our skins. Afterwards, he would wave until the aroma of the perfume was perfect. I couldn't take a picture of the moment, but I would have loved to do it!
 
Finalmente, una foto en la puerta de la tienda con nuestras bolsas cargaditas de ropa interior nueva y super "necesaria", de colores y formas especiales, jajajaja! Lo pasamos bomba!!
Finally a picture at the store's door with our bags full of new and super "necessary" underwear, with beautiful colors and shpes :):) I had a blast!!!
