Pop 5: Vintage Store Musts in NYC

Marisa Tom | November 8, 2011 4:10 pm Retail therapy, holiday gifting, and consequent purse string loosening is in full effect. With Black Friday not so far off in the distance, it seems fitting that we scope out New York City's shopping landscape for the most stylish spots, before we fall back on our Zara and Uniqlo laurels. Last week, I asked which vintage stores offer up the most fabulous selections of unearthed treasures, and just as I suspected, you presented me with more than enough oldies-but-goodies to stockpile the most insanely well-edited closet of vintage and thrift finds.

Say Hello to Joe Fresh on Fifth Avenue — 24 Snaps From Inside the Store!

Marisa Tom | November 3, 2011 4:40 pm Good things come to those who wait — and wait, we did. Luckily, you no longer have to wonder how exactly a mass clothier (sold in Canadian grocery stores, no less) would translate to a Fifth Avenue shopping emporium.

Knitting Lessons at Wool and the Gang SoHo Party NYC

Marisa Tom | November 3, 2011 8:00 am I'm just going to come right out and say it — Wool and the Gang (98 Thompson St., 212-966-9266) is making Granny's pastime cool again. The SoHo-based knitwear boutique won me over with its chunky Winter layer profferings (there is no such thing as life without the Jane collar) and its philanthropic business model (read: all the wool is sourced in the heart of Peru's Andean Highlands). Yes, this is what yarn dreams are made of. Read More
