The minute you start to feel that the city couldn't pack any more vintage stores into its pores, bam, you are surprised with another. I have to say, usually I am a bit turned off by the vintage in NYC, but that is only because people feel the need to pack it all in and try to pass second hand junk off as vintage valuables and then, charge an arm and leg. Now, finally a store, A Little Wicked, that is curated to its finest, with vintage Oscar De La Renta, Liz Claiborne and many other big names, to obscure little no names! Instantly you can tell that this store, or more like intimate little boudoir is run by fashion smart, savvy, style experts. I luckily had the opportunity of getting the chance to meet one of the owners, Robyn Moreno. Of course I was only planning on stopping by on my way out for dinner but an hour and a half later, 2 glasses of wine, and a worldwind of expert advice on fashion, life, and love, I was off on my way with a new favorite spot and basically a new best friend! I definitely suggest getting there before you are bombarded with holiday party time. They have an abundance of adorable, sparkling frocks that will get you noticed and you definitely don't have to worry about seeing your twin, one of the finer points of vintage! Robyn and her sister/co-owner, Bianca have already altered and embellished their duds to their ultimate wickedness!!!So, next time you are searching for that special new piece, or only have $20 in your wallet (they have an amazing $20 rack), or want to have a glass of wine with two uber cool chics, then head on over to A Little Wicked in the Lower East Side. Keep your eyes peeled for their sassy saying on the hang tags, "get lucky in this lacy dress"! A Little Wicked 279 East Houston Street (212) 777-1190 www.alittlewicked.com
