Frommer's Review

This gorgeous Fifth Avenue store is fun to browse. It feels like you're shopping in the townhouse of a slightly offbeat, moneyed lady who doesn't think twice about throwing on a little something by Anna Sui and an outrageously wide-brimmed hat to go out shopping for the day -- she's got the panache to pull it off. It's a superstylish, high-ticket collection for ladies with a flair for the funky and frilly -- but sales are good, and there are always some one-of-a-kind accessories that make affordable souvenirs (and earn you one of the black-and-white-striped shopping bags, the best in town). The makeup department is always on the cutting edge. The pretty tearoom looks out on Fifth Avenue through Lalique windows.
