Summer Sale at Covet


Covet, located in the West End, an area I also referenced in my previous post, is having a 75% off summer sale! While I didn't find anything I couldn't live without (clearly I was exhibiting an unusual and rare act of restraint), however, I did love this display done by Space Design. The woman behind these arrangements does amazing work with succulents. You can also see her terrariums at the Ace Hotel. www.spacedesignonline.com. Once things cool down I may go back to Covet for one of the new long sleeve Velvet tees that arrived for fall, a rich chocolate brown or deep navy, can't decide which one yet.

Frances May


Frances May is a carefully curated boutique blending modern silhouettes with nostalgic charm. This is my new favorite boutique in the area that has recently been coined the West End. They carry local independent designers like Church + State as well as NY labels and favorites like Vena Cava, Clu, Alexander Wang and more. The retail space is elegantly simple - open and airy, the shopgirls are friendly and of course fashionable, and to top it off - they even have a men's line! I'm always excited to find a new boutique that carries unique and stylish gear for my man!
