»· Local Jaunt : Pixie Market ·«
Living around the corner from Pixie Market is possibly the best and worst thing about my apartment. While it’s filled with some of the most innovative and interesting pieces I’ve seen, a walk to the gym can be easily put off by a new pair of shoes staring at me from the window or a quick coffee run can easily turn into a much larger expense than a two dollar cappuccino. But boy oh boy do I love a good jaunt in Pixie Market. Its racks are filled with colorful clothing in all kinds of interesting shapes and silhouettes and the shoes and accessories are unique and total statement pieces. Seriously, if you’re looking for totally one-of-a-kind pieces to add to your wardrobe, look no further than this little Lower East Side boutique!
Now, I understand how frustrating it can be to hear about an amazing store in NYC if you don’t live here. But good news for all you non New York folk! Pixie Market has an awesome online shop (here) with perhaps even more pieces than there are in the store. So go get your shop on!!

»· Local Jaunt : Daha Vintage ·«
After receiving so many emails about where I shop, eat, drink, sleep, etc. in NYC I thought I’d add a new category to my blog called Local Jaunts, where I document and share some of my favorite places to do the aforementioned things.
First on the list is Daha Vintage, an adorable vintage shop around the corner from me that I frequent on a weekly basis. The store is filled with endless amounts of goodies from vintage boots to leather satchels to the most colorful dresses in all kinds of silhouettes and lengths. There aren’t a ton of designer names on the racks, but I’ve been lucky enough to find some amazing vintage Diane von Furstenburg dresses, an Emporio Armani shirt and a Pucci skirt that I still regret not buying.
Just like with any kind of vintage shopping, the key to Daha is to go in with an open mind and the patience to sift through the racks. Another key to Daha? Many of their dresses are on the longer side of the spectrum, but that’s nothing a little tailoring can’t fix. Vintage dresses are some of the easiest pieces to get tailored so just because it doesn’t fit in the store doesn’t mean you can’t make it work for you!
