Neighborhood Watch: Chelsea in New York City

Yesterday, I decided to take advantage of my day off and the beautiful weather to head into New York with a friend of mine and check out a few consignment shops and a flea market.

Our first stop was Buffalo Exchange in Chelsea (114 W. 26th Street).  This is usually one of my favorite consignment style shops because a lot of the items are pretty contemporary.  I came across a bag that I just couldn't stop carrying around the store and a serious statement necklace.

This structured handbag was only $20 and the color is a great neutral.  

The orange in this $15 necklace give it a modern vibe yet it is still a piece that can be worn for years to come.  


The next stop was West 25th Street Market.  We got there close to closing time (not realizing that they would close at 5pm on Sunday) but most of the vendors were still set up and selling. 

There were tables and tables of jewelry!  A lot of the jewelry reminded me of some of the things I've taken from my grandmother's jewelry box.

                                     

 I really loved this $15 leather crossbody bag with the embossed zebra print! 


Finally, we crossed over to the Flatiron neighborhood to take a look at what was new in Joe Fresh (a stylish and affordable Canadian import). I came across these booties that just made me smile. They're made from calf hair and priced at $79.  


There's plenty more to explore and see in other neighborhoods so stay tuned!
