Great for unique gifts and fun browsing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-in-nyc#post-2288896 Sun, 30 Oct 2022 15:13:44 +0000 Roberta 2288896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very tempted by the RealReal! It seems there is the possibility of buyer's remorse there, though, hee hee. And I can visit Splendid, which doesn't have a store near me.</p> <p>The Bryant Park fair is <b>perfect</b>, thanks! Close to our hotel and I can visit the library at the same time. Like the Marines, you are a librarian for life.</p> <p>Desigual closed all of its NYC stores - there were at least three when I was there in 2019. They are much more niche than Mango or Zara, and I guess they couldn't hang on in that expensive real estate during the pandemic. There are still a couple in the states, and a few in Canada. So if I get to Montreal next year (I hope to), that will be a bonus.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-in-nyc#post-2288869 Sun, 30 Oct 2022 02:33:37 +0000 Jaime 2288869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really Manhattan has turned into a giant outdoor shopping mall and Soho particularly so I second Janet's suggestion. There is also some great upscale consignment apart from the RealReal too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-in-nyc#post-2288827 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 21:26:52 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2288827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have a great time!<br /> Is Desigual closed across the US? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-in-nyc#post-2288826 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 21:00:12 +0000 Carla 2288826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No shopping tips, but please do share a report of what (the fashion) you see in stores and on the street! &nbsp;And, have a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-in-nyc#post-2288808 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 18:13:00 +0000 Janet 2288808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always enjoy walking around Soho — there’s a mix of designer shops, independent boutiques, big chains like Zara, H&amp;M and Uniqlo, etc. There’s a TheRealReal shop there too (also one on the upper east side amongst the designer shops up there too), for some upscale secondhand. It’s fun to window shop in the designer shops even if they are too pricey. </p> <p>Bloomingdale’s and Macys are a good substitute for L&amp;T while you’re there. There’s also a new Nordstrom up near Central Park.</p> <p>I love to go walking or running in Central Park in the morning before breakfast — a great way to start the day! The High Line is fun to walk too. </p> <p>I know they are starting to set up for the holiday market at Bryant Park, but I’m not sure if they’ll be open yet. If so, I’ve found some fun and affordable accessories and gifts there. ETA: I just checked and they are open as of October 28! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-in-nyc#post-2288804 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 16:21:13 +0000 cat2 2288804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In addition to Mood, there are good trim and buttons stores…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-in-nyc#post-2288801 Sat, 29 Oct 2022 15:51:51 +0000 Roberta 2288801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Fab Nation, I am going to NYC for a few days next week, and am looking for shopping recs. My regular stops of Desigual and Lord and Taylor have closed (sniff). We're seing lots of theater and art, but there will still be times when we can't stuff any more culture in our heads.</p> <p>Note that I am a size 12/14 and don't want to spend more than $150 on any one thing. Ha, I know that will be a problem in Manhattan! Maybe I should just go to Mood and look at fabric. Also, I live near Chicago so generally have access to the big brands. Although I will definitely go to COS.</p> <p>It doesn't have to be clothing, and I'm not looking for anything in particular, just hoping you all know of boutiques here and there. My best shopping experiences have always been wandering into a little shop and finding a fabulous cashmere wrap half-off or a fantastic jacket that I wear into the ground.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you in advance! </p>
