This Little Piggy Went to Black Market

The fact that I took a two-hour, three mile long wandering trek from our apartment to the opposite side of town to visit Black Market, is just a testament to how devoted I am to shopping. Black Market is one of the best stores in Stockholm, and it was a must-see when I was on vacation. I actually got lost along the way, getting stuck beneath an underpass before going in the entirely wrong direction, and when I finally got there, it didn't help that the store appears to be a cavernous black pit from the exterior, making me wonder if I was indeed at the right place. Still, I never thought once of turning back, and luckily arrived right before the store was about to close. Thankfully, after my pilgrimage, the shop keeper let me stay for a half an hour more past closing time, where I was overwhelmed by the store's incredible selection of men's and women's lines, including Ground Zero, Henrik Vibskov, c-neeon, Burfitt, Carin Wester, Peter Jensen, and Comme des Garcons. I had to take advantage of the fact that almost everything in the store was 50% off, and ended up picking up these giant pleated Henrik Vibskov bag for $89, which can carry just about everything you can imagine. If you're ever in Stockholm, you must stop by this boutique, but if you're not, you can still check out their online store, where they have almost everything the stock, and all at the currently favorable dollar-to-krona exchange rate.
