Thrifty Me: Chelsea & The West Village

I love a bargain (and I buy and sell antiques a bit on the side), so with that said, New York is a surprising treasure trove of both! As I'm out and about in Chelsea and the West Village, I stop at the following thrifts- you have to go often and sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it isn't, but I find that it's more the former than the latter. Go see for yourself, as in real estate, there is no greater thrill than finding that treasure!

Window Shop

 I love the blocks between Christopher between Waverly Place and Greenwich Avenue...it's one of those quiet, little city "moments" where you can lose yourself. Love the shoes, the chair and the store...

Chic Kids: Soho

As an adult, I aspire to be as chic as the kids coming out of Trico Field in Soho...it's one of my favorite stores to pass by! The styling and product is amazing- a modern kid's clothing store with an "old soul." Sophisticated without being stuffy, fun without being silly. I should look so good!
