Time Out New York!

We're in this weeks "Time Out N.Y" !!! page 40 to be exact. . . .here's what they had to say about "the bird's nest" (the boutique formerly known as "Stella Gialla" )

Everything except the Venetian crystal chandeliers is for sale inside best friends Vanessa Reyes and Suzan Burdan’s latest boutique (the duo ran the now closed Stella Gialla and Stella Gialla Decorum). The pair loves to resurrect other people’s castoffs from antique dealers and the Salvation Army with bright paint jobs (a salvaged dresser painted electric blue with new hardware, $750) and punchy textiles (wrought iron vanity chairs reupholstered with old graphic Ikea fabrics, $50), but you’ll also find the work of Queens indie designers, most of which cost $50 and under. Notable discoveries include Etsy darling Rainbow Swirlz’s robot attack tote bags ($20), Fire like the Betsey floral dresses ($48) and rompers ($30), and Ollie Lulu’s hand-crocheted jewelry ($20–$58) showcased on Two’s Company candlestick holders made from found wood ($18). Quirky items like a salt-and-pepper-shaker timer ($6) will make design-commitment-phobes feel the redecorating itch. 73-18 Metropolitan Ave at Rentar Plaza, Middle Village, Queens (718-326-0009). Tue–Sat 11:30am–7pm, Sun 11:30am–5pm.

New Vintage Goodies!

We have always wanted to bring vintage clothing and accessories into SG. The store already has that feel about it, and half the people that come in seem to think the merchandise that we’re selling is vintage anyway. So last weekend I scoured the countryside on the hunt for some fabulous vintage goodies . My favorite pieces (that I didn’t want to part with mind you) were a red quilted chain handle “Chanel” inspired bag, aviator sunglasses, never worn 80’s Jazz shoes, a fur coat reminiscent of something Sue Ellen Ewing would throw over her shoulders on of my favorite TV show “Dallas” and a stunning burgundy blouse that looks like something Diane Von Furstenberg used as inspiration for her fall collection. Let us know your thoughts, more to follow!
