Christian Louboutin – because your feet are worth it!
It is said that every woman needs a little black dress. True! However, I would like to add: every woman needs a pair of Louboutin...or more. Christian Loubutin – the God of all shoes and spoiled legs, no longer needs my modest introduction. This is simply an anthem for the high-heels which can make even my legs look fabulous. Being recognized as the high-end shoe designer who brought stilettos back into fashion, Christian Loubutin is probably one of those brands which will never die. Therefore, despite their outrageous price, every pair of Louboutins can be seen as a smart investment. In New York City, there are two stores – one on Madison, and a very chic one at 59 Horatio, in the West Village. At both locations you will find a friendly staff, and a variety of perfect stilettos.

Start the summer in style with Cynthia Rowley
If you are strolling around the West Village one of these hot days, don’t hesitate to stop by one of my favorite stores in New York City: Cynthia Rowley, for a refreshing shopping experience. This charming store is located in the West Village, on Bleecker and Perry. What I found impressing when visiting Cynthia Rowley for the first time is that they are manufacturing some of their clothing in a unit just above the store. Cynthia’s dresses (what she mostly focuses on) are vibrantly colored, summery, fun, and made out of easy, comfortable fabrics. You can also find a wide selection of hip, colorful accessories. In a couple of words: everything you need to start this summer in style.

UNIQLO – a store for all of us!
Uniqlo is one of the main brands who introduced Japanese apparel to the USA. How? Simple style, great fabrics, colorful prints, affordable prices, mass production. I first discovered Uniqlo in Tokyo - their T-shirts with Manga prints were must-buy presets for my friends back in New York. So, I was thrilled when i found out they opened a location in Soho, and I have been a loyal customer ever since. Similar to the one in Japan, the New York store is huge, airy, and full of light. The service is great, and their merchandise is always neatly organized. Uniqlo sells hundreds of styles of T-shirts, tights, sweaters, jackets, blazers - they certainly have something for everyone. T-Shirts start at $12.90 and the prints are fashionable, colorful, and catchy. Tip: during fall and winter you can find cashmere sweaters for less than $100 - and that's what I call a great deal!

Kiki de Montparnasse – Luxurious Eroticism
From the controversial name to the boudoir-like interior of the store, from the high-end lingerie, and the pleasure objects they sell, this might be world's sexiest boutique.
Kiki de Montparnasse is the nickname of Alice Prin, a French model and artist who contributed to the liberation of Paris' cultural life in the 1920s. Same as the muse who inspired the name of this store, Kiki de Montparnasse is for clients with no inhibitions, with confidence, and an exquisite taste for luxury. This place is unique in many ways - where else could you buy handcuffs and dildos polished with gold? The interior of the boutique reminds me of a luxurious French cabaret - one might expect courtesans to appear through the heavy red and black curtains of the changing rooms. Even if you can't afford any of their pricey pieces of lingerie or fine erotic toys, just walking through the store is a great, sexy experience in itself.

Intermix: Diversity and Style
Intermix is by far one of my favorite stores, given the variety of styles, designers, and the quality of the clothing that they sell. With locations in Manhattan's most upscale areas, such as Soho, West Village and Upper East, Intermix not only sells high-end designers such as DVF or Chloe, but more affordable labels also (as long as the fashion world is buzzing about them). In Intermix you can dress from head to the toe, in other words, they have pretty much everything you can ask for - dresses, heels, bags. I also love the fact that they change their merchandise frequently. So, if you really like something decide quickly, it might not be on their shelves for too long

Piaget is Swiss for Perfectly Crafted Jewelry and Watches
When people hear the name Piaget, many think of the Swiss watchmakers who have been designing and crafting exceptional timepieces since 1874. But celebs like Anne Hathaway and Eva Longoria know Piaget for more than just keeping time. Longoria even had Piaget design her wedding band. And who isn't going to gravitate to this necklace of cascading diamonds. Looking for color? Giant gemstone rings are about as hot as it gets!

Foley + Corinna: City Chic Bags with Design in Mind
Every city girl needs a Foley + Corinna City Tote. It's the it-bag year after year thanks to fresh colors, sizes, and materials that make it new every season. It's convertible yet uncomplicated and oh-so-refined looking. And that's just one of more than a dozen hip bags from Foley + Corinna. The slouchy shape of the Moto Hobo is cool and casual and it has just enough hardware to make it nighttime chic too. The pint-sized Deco packs a lot of glamour into a sophisticated little pouch - it's made of silver metal mesh and soft black leather. And then there's the Cargo that doubles as a shoulder bag and messenger bag for perhaps the stylish cyclist. The bottom line is, Foley + Corinna handbags are beautifully constructed, stylishly designed, and well thought out with city living in mind. Oh, and they do clothing too that's just as head-turning.

Scandalous to Fabulous at New Limelight Marketplace
It's hard to believe the once infamous nightclub Limelight-that was once an Episcopal church turned into a scandalous late night party house- is now a chichi mall. There's a doorman in a marble lobby of the new Limelight Marketplace, a chandelier on every ceiling, and exquisite – read, expensive – designer pajamas available from Olatz that you can wear in bed, while you eat artisan chocolate from Mariebelle Cacao Bar & Cafe.
On the first floor, formerly the main dance floor, there are Havianas and Hunter boots in every color imaginable, on the balconies there are flower arrangements from Barbara Scott (that might break the bank if you're not careful), and rows of dainty handmade jewels from Tina Tang. And in the once co-ed bathroom that posted naked pictures of porn stars, you will find classy Brocade home furnishings fit for a modern princess.
In short, the Limelight Marketplace has it all for the ultimate upscale New York, however ironic, shopping experience. But lost on this irony the Limelight Marketplace is not. Many of the boutique stalls are set up around little bars that serve wares instead of alcohol: at Alexander West you can order a custom (bespoke!) men's dress shirt and at Petrossian you can order ten different types off caviar – if that's what you're into. There are mannequins dressed as club kids on the main floor and there are antique bobbles from Old Hollywood on display in front of an enormous stained glass tryptic on the balcony. Shopping at the Limelight Marketplace is truly a unique experience – especially if you have experienced it in its former gritty glory.

Two Spots for One Stop Shopping At Bloomingdale’s
For the stylish New York shopper only one stop is necessary: Bloomingdale’s. They are on top of every trend and have more brands than you're even aware exist. In the denim department you'll find J Brand, Joe's Jeans, and 7 For All Mankind for miles; Rebecca Minkoff totes, and COMME des GARCONS wallets in the handbag department; Marc by Marc Jacobs ballet flats, Diane von Furstenberg clogs, and Stuart Weitzman heels of all types in shoes, and then there's still more. For men, Bloomingdale's has Theory, Converse, Paul Smith, and John Varvatos shoes, clothes and outerwear. They have funky home goods, they have luxury jewelry finds, they even have celeb skin secret La Mer. This is, after all, a department store- New York style.
The old world charm of the Flagship Bloomingdale's on Lexington is enchanting, but to get down to shopping business the younger (and more European) clientele tend towards the Bloomingdale’s in SoHo. Either way, floors upon floors of designer and hard-to-find boutique brands await. And when you are done shopping for yourself, you can repent for your shopping sins by buying something for mom in the Home department - Le Creuset is available in ten colors - or for your niece in the Kid's department - Ralph Lauren Polos for little ones come in all sorts of colors.

The Scoop On The Latest Fashion
sure up accordingly with brands like DSquared and Chip & Pepper.
For one-stop fashion shopping there are three Scoop locations in New York City to chose from. The SoHo Scoop, which is aptly referred to as the Mega-Scoop, is where you will find current runway trends and staples alike from every hip designer you've ever lusted over. Translation: this store is huge and has it all. The West Village Scoop houses a concept store that is referred to as "the ultimate attic" and tends more towards Ileana Makri jewelry, Havaiana flip-flops, and Freecity hoodies. And for uptowners, well, there's the uptown Scoop. But regardless of location, the Scoop philosophy of shopping remains the same: all the clothes and accessories are organized by trend, color, and type so that the ever time-strapped New York shopper can find exactly what they want, right along side the right pieces to compliment what they came shopping for.

John Varvatos: Rock ‘n Roll Never Looked Finer
One of the most popular and innovative male fashion designers of our time, John Varvatos, is rock 'n roll meets high fashion. Taking over the infamous CBGB's music club- that launched the careers of Blondie and The Ramones- John Varvatos is one of very few that could do the legendary music venue justice.
Most may know John Varvatos for his killer take on Converses, with the madly popular Jack Purcell and One Star styles, but his clothing makes men look effortlessly stylish. Every man can't help but look two notches cooler in one of the distressed blazers, edgy leather jackets or skull cufflinks. All these cool clothes are hanging next to vintage album covers in a store where punk-rock music is always playing.
Known to throw concerts there from time to time- with free admission and free drinks- it's no wonder John Varvatos is known as the rock star of fashion.

Exotic Locales Call for Calypso Styling
With a full name like "Calypso St. Barth," this store that has become a global brand lives up to its namesake posh inspirations. After walking away with any of its beautiful clothing, it's impossible not to look like the luxurious, mystical sea nymph. Specializing in boho chic, flowy beach wear, Calypso has all your vacation (a.k.a. Hamptons) styling needs.
Calypso started in the tiny Caribbean island of St. Barth with a focus on women destined for exotic locations like Rajastan, Marrakesh and Bali. Calypso has become most famous for its beaded caftans, colorful tunics and stunning silk dresses that perfectly compliment the finer destinations in the world. But this store completes the look with beach complimentary thong sandals, wedges, long, golden necklaces, leather bangles, large sunhats, and no fancy traveler would be complete without the pink leather European Destination Guide. The look is the perfect, unintentional chic styling that can take you straight from the beach to a seaside five-star brunch.
For those who need the perfect outfit for a weekend in the Hamptons, winter getaway to St. Barth's or even casual wear for the warm New York City summers, Calypso is the go-to place for the posh beachanistas.

Stella McCartney’s Rock ‘n Roll Meatpacking Store
Stella McCartney was born rock royalty, but in the design world she has become a fashion force to be reckoned with: Madonna, Gwyneth and Cameron are a few of her famous fans. Her fiercely feminine clothes (think sexy with a draping of romance) were the first to invade the now uber chic meatpacking district that is now host to DVF, Carlos Miele and the late Alexander McQueen, among many other design houses.
Besides being the offspring of an ex-Beatle, Stella is most widely known for her staunch PETA stance. So near to her heart is the cause, that before she even started her line in 2001, she told Gucci Group her line would stay true to its "no fur and no leather" stance. Such conscious free clothing includes vegetarian shoe collection, faux fur and faux leather, but the luxury is most definitely always there with the incredible tailoring, craftmanship and unique designs. Stella's line is huge with everything from fragrances, shoes, bags, and organic skin care to cashmere coats and red carpet dresses.
An added bonus? Her father's Beatles music is always playing whenever you walk into the meatpacking store.

Harry Winston: Rare Gemstones and Diamonds Galore
You may know Harry Winston as the design house of Jennifer Lopez's hugely famous million dollar pink diamond engagement ring, or as the man who owned- and donated- the most famous diamond in the world, the Hope Diamond, but this store holds much more than diamonds. On the top floor of the Fifth Avenue boutique, master craftsmen create handmade timepieces and one-of-a-kind designs. The collection of the aptly named "The Incredibles" features large and exquisitely cut sapphires, rubies, tourmalines, and emeralds in custom designs surrounded by none other than beautiful diamonds. The excellence and sheer beauty of the rare gemstones and designs makes this a Hollywood favorite for every major red carpet, wedding, or special event.

Get the True London Look at Topshop
floor designated to high-end designers giving fierce fashions specifically for the fashionista Topshop crowd.
And the shoe selection! Ahhh! If this was around during the SATC era you know SJP would be digging through discount heaven at the Christian Louboutin inspired sky-high stilettos and ultra designed Prada inspired heels. You can find more unique, colorful, and designed shoes at Topshop's shoe boutique than at Saks Fifth Avenue- and that's a guarantee.
Let's not forget about the boys. Topman is dedicated to all things men. From Fedora wearing playboys to laid-back model glam to suits and ties, Topman has everything a stylish city guy could want. This is very smart as it allows the boyfriends/husbands some time to shop for themselves while their other (better) half peruses the other floors of goodness.
If you walk anywhere in London (including red carpets), chances are the hot girl or man is wearing something from Topshop or Topman. That's because it embodies the London street look of tons of colors, boho vintage, and maybe one too many nods to the neon 80's. But hey, it's super fun and seriously fashion forward and- just wait- it will be invading the rest of America soon.

Piercing Fine Jewelry at Venus by Maria Tash
Belly button rings, nose piercings, and even multiple earrings tend to look more trashy than classy, but not with Maria Tash's designs. All her jewelry is made of the finest metals and stones like 18k white gold, diamonds, and even rare opals. Her famous "floating"naval piece highlights the top part of the piercing so your belly button is bare with a glimmering piece highlighting it on top. The jewelry also comes with some bells and whistles, like the internal threading that guarantees no tearing of the piercing, custom post lengths for different sized bodies, and custom designs that are interchangeable and can be updated at any time.
If you don't have a piercing, that's not a problem. Upstairs, Venus by Maria Tash offers a relaxing, clean, and very private piercing area that is more like a spa than a piercing parlor (Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon had all her daughters pierced here) as well as pierce-free jewelry like rings and necklaces.

Mizuo Peck is INA Love
and it’s very hard to prove them wrong.
Opening their flagship in 1994, they are now five stores strong in some of Manhattan’s most prized shopping real estate: NoHo, SoHo, Nolita, and Uptown.
INA is not your average consignment store where one most purge through racks of outdated and moth-ball smelling clothes to find the designer gem in the pile, it instead chooses the best of the best in fashion of yesterday and today. INA consistently fills its racks with beautiful, well-maintained, and luxurious items at discounted prices that make both fashionistas and recessionistas come back for more. They have everything from barely used Chanel wallets to Christian Louboutin heels to Tory Burch skirts. Some items are truly vintage while others are simply last season’s castaways, but all are absolutely devine.
And if this store doesn’t seem like it could get any better, it also has an amazing blog that keeps you up to date on new inventory, sale items, and INA employee’s picks for all its stores.
INA consignment stores are a shopper’s dream and unlike most “chains”, every INA store is completely unique from each other and from each day.
**Mizuo Peck is most famous for her role as Sacajawea in both “Night at the Museum” films starring Ben Stiller. Peck has worked closely with respected photographer Bruce Weber for the cover of L’uomo Vogue and appeared with Angelina Jolie in the Rolling Stones’ music video, “Anybody Seen My Baby?” Peck, a native New Yorker, still lives a block from her childhood TriBeCa home.
