Go for something unique

by manolomaven at Citysearch

I love Calypso and Calypso Enfant. It's like a candy store, all the brilliant colors and variety. If you need something special to wear, and want to look a bit different without looking too "out there," this is a great place to go. Very boho chic, and the salespeople know the merchandise and can help you find the right look. They're also super friendly.

• Pros: cool clothes, great selection, great staff

No time to island-hop? Fake it here.

The Scene
You wear black, all day, every day? This is not your store. You hate frills of any sort? Don't go here. You enjoy being a girl, thankyouverymuch, and you'd like to do it with a little multi-culti flair? Come on in! Calypso is the brainchild of Christiane Celle, who wants you to wear cheery colors year-round and get girly.

The Goods
Caribbean-flavored gear that'll add a bit of beach to the urban jungle. In the summer, pick up a woven plastic tote and a sarong. Come winter, the hats, scarves and mittens are always in the most cheerful of colors--all the better to match with the sorbet-hued coats.

I've found my new favorite store!

by echohopkins at Citysearch

As my dad and I walked around the little boutiques on Mott St. we almost passed this wonderful store. My dad's been in here more than once and was surprised at forgetting it. I walked in and the people were pleasant and very helpful! It was a great change of pace to see the vibrant colors as opposed to the dreary greys and blacks of the boutiques near by. I scored a great shirt and skirt that would help cheer up the usual winter wardrobe. Even the store was lively! We went back twice to buy some gifts and there were awesome sales! For everyone who said the clothes were over-priced they're worth every penny and the people were very charming!

• Pros: Bubbly staff, Vibrant colors, Great Sales
• Cons: none, none, none

Not New York Black

The clothes are fun, colorful AND affordable. The skirts go great with your everyday basics and make you feel good to wear them. Great sales at least twice a year, too.

• Pros: Great Selection, Different, Good Sales

Like the colors

Everything in there's the perfect antidote to the blacks and grays some people still insist on wearing.
