LOOKBOOK: FOLEY + CORINNA
Party dresses for party girls are reason enough to celebrate.
Many brands try to sell you the downtown party girl lifestyle, but Foley + Corinna have actually lived it.
The label opened its eponymous boutique in New York’s Lower East Side back in 1999, before the Strokes even had a record deal.
Since then, their flirty dresses and slouchy bags have been spotted on the cool and the famous alike. But the one common denominator has always been girls who know how to have a good time.
That much is clear with their fall collection, which includes vintage-inspired angora sweaters and embossed leather mini-skirts perfect for a night at the Bowery Ballroom (or breakfast at BabyCakes). Though not everyone gets fashion photographer Tom Hines documenting their evening out, as the models in the lookbook do, but we can all play dress-up in Foley + Corinna’s Lower East Side store.

Another story proved it's worth. You must, absolutely MUST respectively check out this boutique, even if you live as far away as Texas. This shop in Brooklyn is magnifique!!
THE WRIGHT STUFF
A Brooklyn boutique hits the world wide web.
The Brooklynite fashion sense is oft praised for its originality and coveted for its casual cool vibe.
And until recently, recreating that effortlessly hip look rocked by the borough’s inhabitants was nearly impossible for those of us residing elsewhere. But now, whether you’re stuck on the West Coast or just too lazy to get on the G train, you can virtually visit one of Brooklyn’s most stylish purveyors.
Stuart and Wright—frequented by locals like Maggie Gyllenhaal and Michelle Williams—just launched an online store, providing the same great clothes stocked at its Fort Greene location, without the commute.
Featuring brands like Acne, No. 6, and A.P.C., as well as the store’s just-launched eponymous line, the online store is as well curated as the brick-and-mortar. We love Rachel Comey’s sea-inspired summer collection and Mina Stone’s tie-dye and floral adorned ensembles. Throw in Ariana Bohlig’s python shoes and the cross-body bags by Wendy Nichol, and you have a look that’s so easy-chic, getting dressed will be easy even the morning after a Brooklyn rager.
