This past saturday, me and my gf decided to take a trip up to chicago, so I am going to give an overview of my activities. We drove up about 3 miles outside the city, parked, and took the train into michigan avenue and the magnificent mile. Before we did anything, we went to the john hancock tower and went to Cheese Cake Factory. The food was awesome and the Godiva Cheesecake was incredible. It was a costy meal at $30.00 but as we were in Chicago for a "special" date, I stomached the cost. After we ate at Cheese Cake Factory, we went to watterson towers and walked through the entire 7 floors. We must have hit about 20 stores. It was really cool as about half of the stores that we went to arn't in my hometown. Being somewhat cheap, we didn't buy anything and just enjoyed the afternoon walking through the mall. We then went into Macy's and I reluctantly took 30 minutes for her to try on dresses. After Macy's, we decided to walk through Saks Fifth Avenue. We knew that the clothing would be rediculously priced and that it would just be for laughs. However, we had no idea that the prices would be so outrageous. Almost everything in the freaking store was over $300. It also felt really wierd going into the store with just tennis shoes. There were also tons of items that shot up into thousands. One memorable designer named valentino had multiple jackets that were selling for over $5,000. The real kicker is when we went into the fur section. After seeing multiple $10,000+ coats, I found the big one. A sabel fur coate retailing for:$ 52,000.00. Me and my gf almost had a cow we couldn't stop laughing. I don't really know who buys clothing from that store, but I do know that I would consider it a sin in my book. After Saks, we went into neiman marcus which was very similar and then headed to the train to go home. The day was really fun, but the Saks Fifth avenue took the cake.

because they sent it to the company to get fixed.It only shows that Saks also sells expensive junk.I could have been better off buying a Timex.I'm contemplating on taking them to court because inspite of my demands they can't come up with my watch.
