R.I.P.  C. Wonder, Kate Spade Saturday and Piperlime. All three stores have officially closed their doors in SoHo, and Piperlime is the only one that remains available online, but is said to shut down by the end of April (so keep your eyes peeled and your fingers crossed for big sales to come). Thank goodness Zara and J. Crew are still standing otherwise I’d be on shopping red alert! Speaking of, Refinery29 published a cool article today – “6 Stores You’ll Love As Much As Zara” – check it out HERE.

Anywho, as it’s still pretty chilly here in the city, I’ve still been wearing my all black NYC uniform. I’m excited for spring weather to finally arrive, but is it silly that I’ve been so excited just to be able to wear lighter wool coats with no scarves? It’s so much more fun than the hat+earmuff+puffer coat regimen I’ve had to stick to all winter… If you’re an outerwear fiend like me, now is a great time to score coats on major sale, or find steals at your local thrift shop. I’ve been trolling my neighborhood Beacon’s Closet the past few weeks and scored this Zara coat for $25 (normally $199) and a Sandro wool jacket (normally $550) for $30. WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA’AM.
