In the vintage mood

saturday was leisurely spent wandering in the east village and soho in the search of a perfect vintage store.

we walked out of our building quite late and made our way downtown by foot.  walking apparently our favorite way of transportation...especially after hours of sitting next to the computer.
5th avenue was our road...

we took some pictures of the windows at bergdorf goodman
(burlesque-looking girls)


and saks fifth avenue... (i loved those ice-cream chairs) 

we passed madison square park 
 and festive shake shack 
i thought i could find some nice frames at the  artist supply store, but found only a cat
that was nice enough to let her pet.

we found really good stuff at gramercy furniture store (we will come back once moved to our new apartment in summer)
cute little couple in one of the vintage stores...

 a hidden bookstore


we checked several recommended vintage shops in the east village and our favorite became tokio 7 located on e. 7th street. that shop scored many amazing designers and boasted great selection of vintage dresses, shoes, shirts, sweaters, coats, vintage jewelry, bags and so on. askhad was trying on jackets and totally liked one from dior, which was a bit tight on his back. disappointment!

unfortunately i didn't make any pictures inside since was quite  busy myself looking through expansive racks of dresses and shelves full of shoes.  we came late and had only twenty-thirty minutes since the store was already closing
... surely we will come back again...


we stopped at a nearby coffee shop for some late evening cappuccino and were enjoying the music played there. shazam could not identify any of the songs... as we've  learned later -barista played his own  music. you can find  him on soundcloud.com if search for brightfuture. i really hope that his music future will be bright...
