Flea Market Pickin'

Hell's Kitchen Flea Market

Location: 426 West 39th Street  NYC

Hours: 9AM TO 5PM every Saturday and Sunday all year long 

  While out and about in New York City on a Saturday morning, my good friend Caitlin and I decided to hit up the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market on 39th street.  It happens to be one of the oldest and most well known flea markets in the city.  This old-school vibe market brings a unique crowd and has a very distinctive vendor list.  Beautiful artwork, antiques, handmade jewelry, and vintage finds can be found here.  I just so happened to walk away with a beautiful antique necklace.

The New Loafer

FUN MEETS PRACTICALITY.

     I was in “awe” when I discovered these shoes.  In my opinion they are INGENIOUS.  Not only are they a classic, iconic loafer they also serve a very practical purpose.  As we all know, fashion can sometimes lack practicality.  The founder and Creative Director of Swims, Johan Ringdal, was inspired by the ever changing Manhattan weather and the issue of his nice shoes getting wet with the rain, snow, and slush.   He basically has improved and modernized the galoshes or rain boots that we have come to adore and love during the icky weather days.  To learn more about this water-proof loafer visit:  http://www.swims.com.
