I'm starting to make plans for a solo trip to the Big Apple in May. I'm looking forward to eating in cafes, strolling through museums, and catching a show. But most of all, I can hardly wait to shop--something I almost never get to do these days without a little one tugging on my shirt. "I want to go home Mommy! This is SO boring!"The only problem is: I don't have much money. Who does in this economy?
That's why I was excited to see the USA Today article "Confessions of a bargain shopper: Where to find a deal in New York City." Glamour executive fashion editor at large Suze Yalof Schwartz offers up a list of wallet-friendly shops. Here are three that I definitely plan to check out.
1) Mina
32-A Cooper Square
When A-listers and fashion editors need designer duds on a dime, they turn to Irene Albright of Albright Fashion Library to rent the looks. Now anyone can snag a steal at Albright's new store, Mina. "I always go here when I want to look amazing and wear something recognizable," Yalof Schwartz says. "I can rent the dress, shoe, bag and jewels from every designer in the world at a discounted price." Think Marc Jacobs, Chloe and Dolce & Gabbana at 70%-90% off. 212-253-5894, minanyc.com
2) ZARA
39 W. 34th St.
750 Lexington Ave.
101 Fifth Ave.
689 Fifth Ave.
580 Broadway
With stores around the world, this Spanish retailer offers well-tailored looks for less. Designs often pay homage to high-end designers such as Calvin Klein and range from suits to sundresses and hoodies to handbags. "The clothes here always look like designer, but everything is usually under $100," Yalof Schwartz says. "How can you beat that?" zara.com.3) J. Crew Collection StoreWhere do you go bargain shopping in NYC?
1035 Madison Ave. at 79th Street
This J. Crew outpost opened last fall and is unlike any other. The chic shop is a melting pot of Crew classics—corduroys, chinos and cashmere — and luxe looks from luggage to python clutches. "This is J. Crew's only Collection Store, and there always seems to be a great sale inside," Yalof Schwartz says. 212-249-3869, jcrew.com
