My trendiest friend, unshockingly, lives in Brooklyn. She’s my go-to for all shopping advice. She values quality, lasting pieces, which is one of the many things that I love about her taste. Even more, her big city life gives her exposure to what’s “in.” I asked her to create a list of cxΩ her favorite, “fun” places to shop. Below, I’m sharing the list and her verbiage to describe the brands. Some are more well-known, others are obscure… but, all are cool AF.
