A Taste Of NYC Fashion Week
UsedYorkCity was thrilled to be able to celebrate NYCFW with Bettie Page on the Bowery, where retro fashion is always timeless! Their throwback pieces to the 1950′s remind me of flipping through photos of my grandparents during their newlywed days, (minus the pink hair!) Unlike thrift store finds which are hit or miss depending on [...]
New Prada On The Block
When it comes to Men’s Fashion, it is more than known that Prada reigns above most other menswear designers. And lucky for the male Prada lovers, who happen to shop Bloomingdales, they no longer need to look any further. Situated between the Men’s Louis Vuitton and right behind Magnolia’s Bakery, 2013 has bought the Men’s [...]
How Luxe Is The Journelle Sample Sale?
One of the greatest (and probably the worst for our wallets) aspects about living in New York City is having the opportunity that many other cities lack – a chance to score big at major sample sales. Be it the Barney’s Warehouse sale, where I was once able to walk away with a Prada Turtleneck [...]
Buffalo Exchange Offers New Yorkers Clean Closets + Cash
This past Sunday I set out on a mission to kill jumpstart two resolutions with one stone: de-clutter my closets and be a master budgeter. My day went a little something like this: Step 1: Throw everything I own out of the closets. Seriously, I wish I would have snapped a photo of this catastrophe [...]
Everlane: Online Shopping Is Getting Physical…AGAIN!
Oh-My-Everlane does it feel good to write this. If you didn’t already know, Everlane is back in NYC. We all know what happened the last time Everlane staged a part-protest-part-shopping experience in its Not-A-Shop this summer. Yes, it was fabulous. Yes, they had totes, backpacks and tees to die for. And yes, my [...]
Everlane: Caution This Is Not A Retail Shop
For those of us in the know, you may have received this in your email: Everlane, a 100% online retail store, has decided to get physical and open up a pop-up store or a ‘NOT a retail SHOP’ in SoHo from June 28 – July 1st, 2012. I attended the opening party with [...]
The Antiques Garage In Chelsea
Even if you’re not in the market for a vintage victrola, you must, must, MUST carve out an hour during your weekend to visit The Antiques Garage in Chelsea. Living in the city seven years, I’m a bit embarrassed SHAMED to admit that this was my first time to the Garage, but let it be known, [...]
Getting My Sample Sale On
There are two words every budget conscious, fashion forward New Yorker loves to hear: Sample Sale. Sauntering around Chelsea Market on a lazy Saturday afternoon, I stumbled upon one such Women’s & Men’s Multi-Brand Sample Sale (I wish it had a flashier name, but the clothes and price tags made up for this tenfold.) With [...]
Housing Works: Part Thrift Store, Part Bookstore, All Charity
As someone who gets a natural high from both finding “the perfect piece” at a thrift store and helping fellow New Yorkers, I’m kinda obsessed with Housing Works, who plays host to both of these things at the same time. With locations all throughout the city, Housing Works Thrift Stores stand behind the mission of [...]
Skin Meet Dermalogica
Last Thursday I got an email: “Enjoy light hors d’oeuvres and cocktails while you experience and learn about skin health at Dermalogica in SoHo.” My first thoughts included: Hell yeah. What will it cost? The answer, luckily, was absolutely nothing. Thanks to Giuliana Rancic’s free daily email digest, Fab Fit Fun, the ladies (and men) [...]
