Duty Free for You and Me at The Shilla Seoul
Since 1986, one hotel has dominated both the luxury sleeping and shopping scene in Seoul: The Shilla. Although the hotel has been around for a little longer than that, 1986 was the year that it birthed an independent duty free shop, making the upper echelons of luxury goods available at a price that was almost a deal. The Shilla now operates more shops on the Korean holiday island of Jeju and in Incheon airport, but its original two-floor boutique remains a cult shopping destination.
For anyone who feels the salacious temptation of a duty free catalog in the seat-back pocket, a stop in at The Shilla may be deadly (to your bank account). Being surrounded by smiling, impeccably-coiffed salesgirls and shiny products proves a drug for those who achieve VIP status at The Shilla shops.

Big Drop NYC Opens Up Shop at Gansevoort South
Here's something different for the Gansevoort South: good news! New York City's trendy boutique chain Big Drop opened their first store outside of NYC, inside the Gansevoort's lower level.
Since the hotel opened earlier this spring, it has seen a lion's share of hiccups and setbacks, but won't you feel better staying there knowing that you can buy a Tracy Reese caftan at any hour?
The boutique's personal shopping service "Everything But Your Toothbrush," allows socialites short on time to call with their size and agenda. Big Drop will then play stylist by hand selecting pieces to send to your room for approval. For once, this will also include dudes as Big Drop Miami debuts a men's section.
Of course this addition will appeal most to the scene-hopping New Yorkers who are perpetually swiping their credit cards, but then isn't that the demographic everyone aims for during rough times such as these?
