New York Shopping Trip

March 14, 2012 by Party Patisserie Filed Under: Sweet Inspirations 15 Comments

Last week I attended the wonderful Martha Stewart Dreamers Into Doers event in New York City for women entrepreneurs. It was fantastic! Since it was only 2 1/2 days I decided to stay another day to do a little shopping.

Martha’s show is taped in the fashion district which is where I was staying.

  It was perfect because the stores I wanted to go to were in this area.

{As you may know, I have a great love for fashion, design & sewing.}

First stop, M & J Trimming.

This store was amazingly huge and filled with trims, ribbons,  buttons & embellishments of all kinds from floor to ceiling. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Wall & walls of wonderful trims and embellishments, even furs. Wish I had that picture.

Sorry I used the flash. It doesn’t show how vibrant the colors are.

Next stop~ TINSEL TRADING COMPANY

This store had Vintage trims, ribbons, buttons. flowers & thread.

So pretty!

Would you just look at that wall. Each flower or button had it’s own box with a sample on the front.

Great way to store and display them.

This is only a small section of the ribbon wall. I think I was on color overload. Didn’t think that was possible for me.

Third Stop~ MOOD DESIGNER FABRICS

(you know, of Project Runway fame)

There wasn’t any sign on the outside of the building so I had to take a pic of this one hanging indoors.

Again, this place is massive. It occupies 3 floors. The selection was wonderful but be ready to hunt.

I’m looking out the window of Moods and peering into some of the fashion houses across the street.

This city is amazing!

There is so much here but certainly never enough time.

Leaving Moods we headed down the street and saw this pretty window of a perfume shop.

The giant paper flowers caught my eye and I had to get a few pics.

I love paper flowers!

Well, time for lunch & that’s another post.

Hope you enjoyed my little tour of the big city’s fashion district!

    Wow. Now I wish I had stayed a day (or two) extra. I cannot believe there are stores just for embellishments in NYC. I’d love to have a similar store in Indiana – don’t think that will be happening anytime soon. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

      Shana, you would have loved it! It totally took by breath away by the sheer selection you had. To see it all displayed in one place was fantastic. You never see it all like that.
      Let’s plan for next year, shall we?

    How fun! It was a whirl wind of an event, I wish I had time to go shopping too. Although, I did manage to go to M&J Trimming with Valerie of Greyson Design! Great photos, thanks for sharing!

      It was fun but you really have to have a plan. There’s so much to see and everything is so big. No sleep in NYC. that’s for when you get home.
