Another reason to love the LES, as if you needed any more…
I have a hard time shopping on Saturdays. It is a nightmare. Soho is a madhouse and going into Bloomies can be as overwhelming as a Forever21. My cure and current sanctuaries have been small boutiques in the Lower East Side and East Village. Just as we at District L have already fallen in love with Lois Eastlund, we have another shop to add to the list: Mint Julep.
This is a southern girl’s playground filled with girly accessories, dresses galore, and the most appealing – a friendly and helpful staff that are not only savvy, but quite trendy themselves. I wandered in there this weekend looking for some cute work-esque apparel, appropriate for the unwelcome, yet defiantly steadfast winter.
I fell in love with a Free People jacket, but couldn’t decide on the color. Instead of pushing this on me, she instead wrote down the style number and searched the Free People website to tell me what other colors it came in. So helpful! So not pushy! And with items varying from Nanette Lapore dresses at $300 to BB Dakota skirts at $40, you are bound to find something you simply cannot live without.
