Largest Uniqlo I've been to as of YET! But then again, I mostly shop online hehe…read more This one was packed and full but so much to look at and shop. The only crazy thing was the lines for the fitting room which we ended skipping and just gambling on the size. LOVE that you can customize any Uniqlo items and make them your own. You can do prints and embroidery, so much fun! Anything is customizable and I can't wait to give this a try. Lots of things on sale but also love their checkout system. It goes by weight and detection, very similar to zara. Overall, I'm a huge fan of Uniqlo and loved this storefront!

The Uniqlo SoHo is unique because it was experimentally the very first store ever built outside of…read moreJapan. It's also the birthplace of RE.UNIQLO Studio, where you can get mending, sashiko stitching, or custom Japanese embroidery to give clothes a second life and you can get exclusive upcycled pieces. Unlike the larger scaled, more tourist-leaning 5th Avenue Store, Soho has the downtown loft street culture, history, and artistic heart. One star off for a rude staff people who not only wouldn't get out of my way, but she purposely got in my way once I passed her. Like this is the 405 or something.

This is a very quiet Miniso location that is not so crowded as other locations. I love this…read morelocation a lot because most of the items are in stock that I want like the blind boxes for Hello Kitty fruit and the koi plushies. Recently I found that they carry portable chargers in pink and white that is 9000 MAH for $15.99. It came with the lightning and USB-C cables so I thought it was pretty worth it. It has a very slim profile and has Miniso branded on it so I got it. Other than this store has a lot of variety of stationary stuff that you can decorate your bedrooms and dorms. Lots of Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty, Melody, Kuromi, and Pochacco. The products here are kind of pricey though like the Top Toy Sanrio plushie keychain blind box is $29.99. One of the favorite things I like about Miniso is their collection of perfumes. I love the pink travel spray perfume and I always restock on those. Smells sweet on the subtle side and it's very great in any weather and any day. It's a must buy.

Artists and Fleas is located in the Chelsea Market. I have been visiting the market for years now…read more It has handmade artists items. Vendors obviously change over the years. I was somewhat disappointed by the amount of jewelry that was present. The market had a better variety previously. In any event I shall continue to visit and discover.

A beautiful tree-lined classic West Village street is home to an equally wonderful boutique…read more Albertine is one of those quiet gems of a store that has an exciting, unique collection and perfect staff. On a more personal note, I visited Albertine three times before deciding to feature it on The Boutique of the Week, not because I was wary of the selection, but the price is higher than my norm. However, Albertine truly is too good to pass up and is the perfect place to splurge and treat yourself to an amazing piece (or two, or three...). The jewelry is the best feature of Albertine and will have you coming back just to drool over it. The exquisitely edited collection is priced from $100 to a steep $1,000+. The beautiful vintage pieces are displayed in glass cases, but touching and dressing up is encouraged. Delicate necklaces share a wall with leather cuffs, and pendants of owls and horns share a case with a silver snake ring and jade earrings. Prices can only be found out from a large binder where handwritten notes and photos document the inventory. The womenswear boasts up-and-coming designers and custom-made pieces that are feminine and vintage-inspired ranging from $150-600+. Flowy fabrics in all colors can be found in floor-length silk gowns and highly-structured bomber jackets. The cozy store normally only has one or two sizes displayed, but the staff is happy to find you the perfect fit in the back. A Victorian couch faces a large mirror for ample viewing, and you can even sometimes find the owner's dog napping as the eclectically chic staff offers spot-on critiques and styling tips.

The coolest part about NYC is that you'll never know what you'll find when simply walking around…read more From people, to food, to experiences, every day can be unique if you're to open it. I was recently walking from the office to union square to catch a train but once I got to 14th st, decided to simply keep walking for the heck of it. I'm glad I did because after a few random lefts and rights, I stumbled upon a colorful array of silk scarves and fabrics. I looked up and saw a sign that red "Mandala Tibetan Store." I walked in and was immediately greeted with a warm hello and smile. I stated that I walked in out of curiosity and wasn't quite sure what I was looking for. He invited me to take a look and let him know if I had any questions. Everything in the store was so interesting but what really caught my eye was this off-white backpack made of hemp. My dad used to be a hippie back in his early days and for some reason, I immediately thought of him and felt like he would enjoy it. He's become an avid photographer and I pictured him carrying around his camera gear it and a couple of fruits as he embarks on his photo adventures. The owner told me that it was handmade and was actually made in Nepal. Wow, how cool! I was tempted to buy another for myself but decided to simply get one for now. When I handed it to my dad in a few days later, he absolutely loved it! I'm thankful to this store for introducing me to Tibetan culture. I could have literally spent the afternoon examining each unique piece they had and I can't wait to come back and explore some more. If you're looking for a gift for someone special in your life or just want to see some extremely authentic and unique Tibetan items up close and personal, this store is worth the trip!

The jewelry is unique, intricate, and quality metals. The felted wool accessories are very unique, and I love the children's items. My favorite thing here is the traditional shoes with pointed toes. There is something about the aesthetic of the Tibetan region and traditional dressing that fascinates me.

I ended up leaving with a sexy summer top and some great jean shorts. Prices are on par with an H&M and deals are readily available all around the store. It seems this is a newer location and I think will be very successful in this part of SoHo. The staff here was very helpful and I look forward to some online shopping from here in my future.

It was terrible customer service, the lady outside had short black hair but I didn't get her name. I hope they fix this for anyone else who comes to shop that has a disability or is injured. I can't believe they didn't have a ramp or anything.
