Polkadots

1 February 2010 by Carolina Engman

Blouse and pants, Zara. Shoes, Scorett. Cross necklace, vintage from miami.
Rings, H&M. Pearl Bracelet, DIY. Hat, Zara (mens department)

BLACK/WHITE. Bought these amazing wedges yesterday and I’m in lo-lo-love! Can’t even
begin to tell you how much I long for warmer weather so I can wear them outside of the apartment.

I’ll be going to New York feb 10-15 and would love to hear your best tips on vintage shopping, restaurants, clubs and places I have to see. Drop a comment or send me an email at carolina@fashionsquad.com!

those wedges are amazing!!

I only went to NY briefly, i stayed in a house in Brooklyn and we went to Williamsburg for the day and the vintage and thrift shops were pretty cool. I absolutely loved it there.

Hope you have a great time.

oh but my favourite place in NY was St Marks Place, you will get some cool shit off the markets

amazing shoes and you styled them great! I’m sorry but I don’t have any tips, but I would love to hear them from you when you are back, because I’m going to NY in the summer. However I found this at the satorialist, but I don’t know if it’s worth something:
However, I popped into Amarcord in Williamsburg during the marathon on Sunday (no, I wasn’t running), and I was pleasantly surprised at how beautifully the shop was presented–wonderful color stories and very well-edited. I’ve said it a million times: retail is all about edit and presentation. Vintage stores are not immune to this rule, and if they follow it, they soar over their competition.

Even without buying anything, I loved going through the racks and marveling at the colors, patterns, and texture play. These photos were not items I edited myself; this is exactly how I found them on the rack.

Amarcord has a few locations:
SoHo – 252 Lafayette St
Williamsburg – 223 Bedford Ave
Showroom and Archive (by appointment) – 242 Wythe Ave

Hope you’ll find fantastic stuff and you’ll have a great time there!
lola on 1 February 2010 at 19:28 said:

These are my two favorite places for vintage and thrift in New York, I hope you have an awesome time!

Beacons Closet, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn- An awesome thrift store organized by color and full of hipsters

9th St. btwn 1st and 2nd avenues, East Village, Manhattan- Tons of wonderful little vintage stores line this block. My personal favorites are Cobblestones and Local Clothing.

Also, if you’re into cheaper alternatives to designer items (especially shoes) I’d check out LF. There are a few stores scattered around the city but my favorite is in SoHo(closest to topshop)

awesome shoes!!!

one of my favorite (and cheap) places to eat in nyc is cafe habana in soho (prince&elizabeth) they have really good cubanos and you have to try their corn!! Clinton st bakery has amazing blueberry pancakes and other breakfast foods as well~~if you like cafes try care lalo or cafe reggio (although there are a billion cafes in nyc, these are classic?) Try the marshmallow shake at stand as well! yum! dont forget china town!

ill be in nyc as well for nyfw~~hope to see you around!!
