Editorial Review for Lawanna's – by Rebecca Braverman

The Scene
How strange to find this shop on Williamsburg's main drag, where devotees of ironic math-rock eyeglasses and vintage cords sip their soy lattes and discuss self-published lit mags. They're probably not perusing Lawanna's for rhinestone earrings shaped like cherries, but that's one of the reasons we like it.

The Goods
This is where you go for a Halloween costume or to replenish your supply of certain necessities. Like fishnets in a rainbow of colors. Or several styles of Pumas. Or Paul Frank wallets with the monkey, of course, as well as Western and mod motifs. Rhinestone nameplate necklaces proclaim everything from "sexy" to "snatch," while a turquoise clutch announces "maneater" on its side. There's a definite feline theme here, with Hello Kitty-covered undies and kneesocks printed with "Bad Kitty." Pick up a studded cuff for your punk rock brother, and get the bejeweled safety pin for yourself.

Lawanna's is my favorite store in NYC. It is the only place I shop for all my cooly cool clothes. I have been shopping there for the past 6 years. They have the largest retail selection of Vans in the entire NYC. So if you ever need some hot kicks head on over and see the coolest store ever. Holla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: Coolest clothes, Hotest shoes, Great prices

Cons: nothing, nothing, nothing
