Their shoe section has decreased over the years, and they've gotten a large quantity of high-end brands like Kate Spade, Trina Turk, and Diane von Furstenberg. Some of the pieces in their store are amazing, some leave me scratching my head wondering who is going to buy a $3,000 fur vest in South Texas. As of now, their pickings are slim, but their Brighton section still is top notch and they have a good selection of moderately priced blouses at Unique's. Currently, they have a huge clearance section with stuff marked between 30% - 75% off. Their shoe section is also dwindling down - I believe they're planning on renovating parts of the store and are getting rid of their old wades. Unique's has some new Kate Spade school supplies for those wanting to start their back-to-school shopping. Overall, Sylvia's & Unique's are still two must-go places to shop in McAllen.

La Plaza Mall has grown, but for me it's less a place to shop and more a place to walk with air…read moreconditioning and observe with amazement and wonder the diverse crowd of humanity and also the evolved mall creatures with rainbow hair and pieces of metal sticking out of their tongues. Unless you're really into paying large amounts of money for the privilege of advertising for a company by wearing clothing covered with their logo (so others know you paid $800 for your sneakers), or cheap Chinese imported fad stuff, you may want to use the entrance that leads directly into the anchor store you want to shop. Thank God, there is still a JC Penny, Dillard's and Macy's and a few decent places to eat. Those who are more adventurous can enter the vortex that is the mall where there are other stores like Old Navy, Abercrombie & Fitch, Build a Bear Workshop, Torrid, Hot Topic, Sephora, Bath & Body, Victoria's (not so) Secret, Van's, Boot Jack, and a few chain jewelry stores like Zales, Kay, and Reed's. Naturally (or unnaturally) there is also a labyrinth of kiosks and other smaller stores all competing for your attention and money. You'll find people trying to spray you with fragrances, straighten or curl your hair, fit you with a hair piece, put some new glitter make-up on your face, or polish your shoes for free ...only to try to pressure you into buying their way over-priced shoe polishing kit or at least give them a big tip. Can you tell I'm not really into malls? I had not been in over a year. I was going to the bank, but discovered it doesn't open till 11 AM, so I could drive somewhere else or walk around for 25 minutes. I chose the latter as walking is good exercise. The Northside newer expansion of the mall has some good restaurants like Texas de Brazil and Yard House. Of course you can always go to the food court and eat a large pizza sized cookie or some kind of fast food while trying to pretend you don't mind the whining children and their parents who ignore them. Thankfully, when I went it was a weekday morning and not many mall creatures were out. The parking garage was mostly empty. But I saw enough that I know I do not want to return during the Christmas shopping season. If you happen to be a mall creature, I wish you well, and a long happy life. Please don't take it personal if I do a double take when I see you made up as an Anime character doll complete with special pupil-enhancing contact lenses, or sporting subdermal implanted Vulcan-style bumps or a third eye tattooed on your forehead. My reaction is involuntary and partly out of shock. I've never had a piercing except for my annual flu shot.

The World Market in McAllen offers a variety of items from small little trinkets to larger items…read moresuch as furniture. Many stores claim to have a little something for everyone. This store could live up to that claim easily. First, there was a toy section filled with nostalgia. Some toys are American but others are labeled as made in Guatemala or other countries. Some I hadn't seen since childhood and I immediately began to put them in my cart like a little kid. Next, there is a furniture section. My only disappointment with this section is that certain items are put together for your viewing pleasure but are sold individually to you. That makes sense for a living room set but not on a single chair where they sell you just the frame and the pillow that goes along with it separately. A wine section is available as well as many other candies from around the world, hence the name of the store. Go in, lose yourself for an hour or two, but expect to come out with something in your hands.

Evidenced in the new Premium Outlet mall in Mercedes, I could not help stopping on my way back to McAllen airport. Like a magnet, the car just gravitated toward the Cole Haan, where I bought my (wait for it) 60th pair of shoes. I am truly the Jerry Seinfeld of dress shoes - tons of them, Kramer always stopping by to bring them to Mom and Pop to get detailed. At this location, found what my colleagues long for in their holiday stockings: wristlets. They are the new fem wallet. Store wide sale provides them at 40% off. On the clearance rack at 30% off AND THEN 40% off, I found a perfect fitting mahogany dress shoe. Smooth, sleek, and stylish, I wore them to work yesterday and was met with man compliments. The manager on duty was a kick. She was most helpful and very easy going. I hope that when I can not get to San Marcos, I can swing by my new second office in the Valley, which is going to be this store.
