Met the lovely owner of this astoundingly put together store this afternoon. I had been in there once before and had raved about it afterwords to my friend Luke, a fashion designer and man of good tastes. He told me that he happened to be friends with the owner. After a late afternoon margarita downtown with a friend, we ventured into this worldly Lower East Side boutique called Maryam Nassir Zadeh. The store features an eclectic and worldly array of items: North African and South American tapestries, Repetto shoes, vintage jewelery, and the latest Rachel Comey and Isabel Marant pieces. With an assortment of potted succulents in the corner and a handpicked arrangement of flea market trinkets on handmade wood tables, how could I not be in love with this store? This is essentially what I want my apartment to look like. It brings a nice wide open, desert-y feel to the industrialism of the city. I'm hunting for similar tapestries to put on my upcoming (hopefully!) handmade wooden bench... but more on that later!
