thank god, not everything is insect jewelry and ken-cakes in NYC! there are nice shops:

Some odd rubies in Ludlow, amazing dresses, but $350 for a polyester dress?! come on…

I heart in Mott street, the freshest selection i’ve ever seen, with 3.1 Phillip Lim, Tsumori Chisato and Wood Wood under 1 roof

Assembly New York in Ludlow… cool men’s stuff.

Jumelle in Bedford avenue: a lot of France and USA, a bit of Scandinavia and New Zealand. One of the reasons I want to become very rich

Pixie Market in Lower East Side. You may not like everything but some things are definitely to die for! (cf accessories and scarves)

The Lyell store in Elisabeth street. Beside nice Lyell collection, great vintage boots….

16sur20 in Elisabeth street, of course… even though i would have called it 20sur20…
