Mint Julep (CLOSED)

Vermont natives and best friends Brooke Garber and Stephanie Nist open their second NYC shop (the first is on the Lower East Side), dedicated to contemporary womenswear ($26–$360) and accessories ($10–$250) from both staple and new designers, including Shoshanna, Amanda Uprichard and Nanette Lepore. Hanging vases, damask dressing-room curtains and a sparkling chandelier reflect the girly items, including Gigi New York python-embossed clutches ($98) and Yarnz cashmere scarves ($196). Look polished on the weekends in Milly printed-peplum skirts ($234), 525 America plaid-and-leather jackets ($192) and Greylin strapless frocks ($138). Heaping amounts of jewelry, such as Kendra Phillip skull-shaped studs ($44) and Sugar Bean initial necklaces ($70), can be found atop wooden tables and above the fireplace mantle.
