The Guerilla went to Paris for a long time...and will eventually post evidence!

Sale & New Stuff at Les Nanas de Gramercy

I just got word that Les Nanas (de Gramercy) got a new shipment of winter clothes in from Paris and that all the apparel in the basement is 70% off (if you pay in CA$H!). On Third Ave. near 21st St.

Metal Pointus Jewelry: From Paris to Soho

I took the day off of work yesterday...got my hair done at Mario Diab salon, ate upstairs at La Esquina the cool little Mexican take-out joint on Kenmare (where a nice lady shared her food with me!) and then found my way to Anna by way of a new jewelry store on Elizabeth St: Metal Pointus. The jewelry in this store reminds me of my fave, Versani, but by way of Paris. This jewelry is not for the faint of heart - each piece makes a significant statement. And I want all of it! Talk about heavy metal.

Les Nanas - Staying Open...Indefinitely??

I just visited the store I always rave about - Les Nanas - and got some great news. They are not closing in September like originally planned, they are staying open until at least March 2009 and then someone may take over and keep it going! In the meantime they are having an incredible sale - everything except jewelry upstairs on sale for 50% off, and everything downstairs 70% off (cash only downstairs). I scored this little number for $38. Practically free!

Les Nanas: The End of an Era

I am literally unsure how I am going to survive, fashion-wise, after this summer is over. My favorite store in all the (is)land is closing shop in September. I've been holding on to this news, hoping it was a bad dream. But alas, it is real life...Yes, Les Nanas, the store I write about all the time will be no more. The owner, Nathalie, has decided to leave dodge...and thus end a 20-year era of providing fabulous Paris-based fashion to the ladies of Gramercy Park.


As such, everything in the basement is on sale: 50% off! Spy the photo of the skirt I scored, as an example. I believe I paid about $80. And, they have just gotten a bunch of great new stuff in upstairs (not on sale), so it is worth going in to check out as a last -- or even for your first - hurrah.


If by next year there is a palpable negative difference in the level of style in the Gramercy Park area, you now know why.


However, if any of you are wealthy or motivated enough to BUY Les Nanas (and keep it operating the same exact way), I believe she is open for offers and bids. Contact me!

The Sartorialist - Cool Fashion Blog

Once again, one of my key stringers has provided me with new information. A blog that features this City's (and Paris, and others) most fashionable people doing what they do best - be fabulously fashionable.

The blogger lady is a photographer and she just posts a number of well-dressed people every day. It's Fashion Week now in NYC, so that's what she's been focused on, but she often takes pictures of just random kids on the street.

Fun stuff.
