NY Diary #3 Brooklyn Flea & Brunch

So we have sunday car boots, muddy football fields  and Ducktales on VHS. Yeh it's ok and yes everything tends to be under a fiver, you will probably make at least one friend over 70 and leave with a niggling feeling that you should have bought that teapot. Brooklyn's different, like you see in films there are very few fields in the city and when there is they're massive and cornered off and quite often have a zoo in or at least a small menagerie. So instead of the car boot they have flea which is a cool way of saying lush boutique stores under a canopy in a playground. They're amazing, copious amounts of delicious food from company's all over the city appear, I have massive love for Dough the best Doughnut stand, EVER. They're huge, incredible and coated in the best sort of icing you could imagine. The Flea see's tents selling intentional worn denim, beautiful lace dresses. Vibrant 60's kitchen everythings, Star wars figures vs Trolls, little tin things I'm not sure what for even vintage fairground parts. And the best thing about all these things is the variety of gorgeous people that it attracts.

We LOVE.

NY Diary #2 Williamsburg Brooklyn. 14th Street

Williamsburg with its bevy of babes, allures in artists, musicians and the relaxed cool of the city, with its Block Party’s, fleas and beautiful views. Based on the outskirts of Brooklyn it mixes the old docks, factories and industrial red brick buildings, like those seen on Boardwalk Empire which is filmed just around the corner at Greenpoint with modern boutiques, thrift stores and tasty eateries. With a hung-over belly and Air con on the mind the main focus for Sunday Williamsburg goers is food, more importantly brunch.  Five leaves is the first port of call with tattooed, short fringed babe waitresses and equally lush chef’s it is uber popular, the Que is crazy, but the hour wait is worth it.

 This Sunday we had a random awesome find, along 14^th street was the BORED STROKED PORTED Block party , Hosted by New York City Vintage Motor show, The streets filled with the hottest most shinniest Bikes, gorgeous bikers and live music of the metal variety.

 

At Cow, Denim is one of our fundamental staples, it goes with everything it lasts for almost ever and girls and guys look equally hot in it. America loves it and definitely knows how to make it good, so we source all of ours from here. Notably Williamsburg loves it just as much, whether worn with a graphic tee,grungy shirt or something a little more western we sell them all at cow. While summer comes to a close we see the beginnings of layering pieces, combining cute raw edge shorts, with kimono, crop and boots.Or maybe just a simple denim jacket for late nights.
