The ninth circle of hell to some, midtown is the beating heart of our city. And we consider ourselves pretty fortunate to live in a place where we can hit all of the popular budget-friendly chains—Urban Outfitters, Zara, Aritzia, Topshop—and Saks Fifth Avenue without having to bust out a MetroCard. Blogger Lisa Dengler of just-another.me seemed like the perfect expert to send to the tourist trap. So can you cop her less-is-more style for, well, less? That’s a big yes. And Dengler plans to come back soon. “I love that you can shop on a budget here but still be inspired by contemporary designer collections,” she says.
Check out Dengler's must-have threads for fall below!
