Make new friends, but …

For you Ithaca readers who can’t make it to Manhattan, Petrune on Cayuga Street has a great selection of dresses, scarves, hats, riding boots and classy old luggage. Check out an Ithacan story we did last year on the store here.

And who doesn’t like a little bit of Internet shopping? This morning, Reader Erin pointed me toward Etsy, a site that buys and sells handmade items, the highlight being the vintage accessories collection. Pictured here is a goldtone pin from Austria.

Vintage never goes out of style, even when the trends for spring/fall are pointing toward the future. Which reminds me: Did you guys check out the Azzedine Ala?a coat worn by Carine Roitfeld, editor of French Vogue, at NY Fashion Week? Not gonna lie, it kind of reminded me of Dot Matrix from Spaceballs.
