Grove, lifestyle boutique du jour, recently opened bringing fresh home décor, fragrance and florals to the West Village.
This charming store introduces home décor at it’s finest with a rare collection of glassware, tableware, cashmere throws and one-of-a-kind vintage scarves, which Grove has transformed into luxurious throw pillows. You can even bring in your own Hermes or Pucci to be reconstructed into a fabulous accent pillow for your home!
The hallmark of this enchanting boutique is the Flower Bar. Customers select from a seasonal assortment of fresh flowers, specially prepared by Sarah herself or in-house designer Bobby. Arrangements are made to order while you shop, or if you prefer, can be delivered anywhere in Manhattan. Our choice gift is their signature crate filled with a gorgeous array of flowers accompanied by a Grove candle (pictured below).
From travel accessories to home décor, fragrances to florals, you’re sure to find a special gift or beautiful addition for your home.

The weak dollar and slowing economy doesn’t mean no shopping, it just means smart shopping. Our top tips:
1. Shop with a Mission: Don’t wander around aimlessly to stores; have a goal in mind when you leave the house such as new jeans, black tie, or beachwear.
2. Shop in Your Hometown: You won’t be bringing back much from Europe this summer so spend those hard earned dollars here on a great vacation wardrobe!
3. Shop High/Shop Low: I’ve been shopping alternately at Bergdorf Goodman and Target! BG satisfies my taste for luxury and investment pieces while Target fills the need for get-it-now trends.
4. Shop for Accessories: Transform your current wardrobe with an of-the-moment accessory or take this opportunity to invest in a classic.
5. Shop in Boutiques: Small stores are having more sales and markdowns than usual so don’t count out old favorites. You will also avoid shipping costs by purchasing items in-store as opposed to online.
6. Shop Sample Sales: When you are craving designer goods, head to a sample sale to get the look for less. A recent cocktail party outfit dilemma was solved by picking up a gorgeous Catherine Malandrino dress from the sample sale and pairing it with a $9.90 belt from H&M!
