a little bit gimmicky, but badichi is ultimately useful especially if you know almost exactly what you want. this is a shop all about belts. you can put them together with a huge inventory of buckles and leather strips in all colors and designs. badichi definitely has a tourist trap feel but i think...

every season, i realize i need some new shoes, and yet don’t have time to scour every single shoe shop for something new, a little different and hopefully affordable. in manhattan, i often tend to go to bloomingdales in desperation (they usually have a great, pricey vast selection) or this...

hope you all had a super memorial day weekend. ours went by in a flash. a p-rade in princeton, a wedding at 11 madison park, meeting up with old and new friends, checking out new and old eating haunts, a little cooking and of course adventures with the dog! so for the start of what really feels like...
doggy style: only the best for the beast...
it took me ages, and i thought i would never find it, but i have discovered the dog shop for me and for this lucky critter. doggy style, located in soho, has the greatest stuff if you want to keep your dog looking good but not in a frou frou way. i really have visited a ton of pet stores, and...michele varian: a little bit of domino i...
i feel like i should have known about michele varian for ages, but for some reason i had never even heard of it, or at least noticed that her wares had been popping up in domino until the last few months or so. when i finally went by, i was thrilled to find yet another great, little unusual gem of...il bisonte: a bag for life...

i do love great well made leather goods, and if they’re from italy even better. for a while, i was crazy about furla and still have a wallet of theirs that i got in florence a ways back when buying in europe was affordable, and i really cannot believe it still looks good and works. for...

i am constantly asking around for interesting shop ideas — what’s the newest thing, what has a great collection, what is affordable – and kiosk came up constantly. it was hard for me to believe that i had never heard of this design store that everyone seemed to love, and now...

j. is very challenging to shop for as he’s maybe the skinniest guy i know, a bit on the tall side and with very long arms (and yes he is completely adorable of course) and he is definitely a fussy boy. so no suprise, finding suits for him has always been a challenge. and now that we have...

while i have always loved chocolate, only in the last few years did i begin to indulge myself (and j helped along the way) with purchases of high end chocolates. somehow the more chocolate i eat the fussier i get, and i have to say that my top choice in new york these days is kee’s chocolates. ...
