Have no budget in mind when shopping. Celebrities tend to have spending accounts that are virtually limitless when it comes to shopping. Pay no attention to price tags. Instead, by what you want and what looks good on you. Enjoy this type of shopping, where you can buy on every whim and urge.
Bring an entourage. Seldom do you see a celebrity shopping alone. They usually have family, bodyguards, friends or other staff members by their sides. Fashion stylists and hair and makeup people help them choose the clothes that are trendy and best for their figures, while making sure they look their absolute best should fans, papparazzi, or any others in the public catch a glimpse.
Travel in style. Have a chaffeur take you and your posse by limo to various shops--if not by limo, have a driver shuttle you around by car or SUV. Never take the subway or a cab. When you have the money of a celebrity, you can afford to shop with the convenience and glamour of a chaffeur.
Be incognito. Though many times photographers uncover celebs trying to go unseen, many do hide themselves successfully. Many conceal hair beneath ballcaps, donning big sunglasses and casual clothing, such as sweatshirts and jackets, that would go unnoticed by the general public. To be more inconspicuous, try to use rear entrances of stores. Ask management for private shopping hours in a store.
Shop well-known, high-end stores and upscale boutiques. Shopping Fifth Avenue's upscale brands is a must. Some of these stores include the famed Bergdorf Goodman, Bulgari, Cartier, Fendi, Gucci, Harry Winston, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Versace and Tiffany. Other upscale shopping can be found in SoHo and the Upper West Side in addition to other various spots throughout the city.
