Fashion Insider Caroline Knapp's Soho Shopping Stopovers
Haus Alkire, 458 Broome Street (between Mercer and Greene); 646-692-4326.
"When I’m too busy to think about my outfit, I gravitate towards classic, black items. It creates the perfect blank canvas to switch up your accessories and always look polished. This one I paired up with Timberland's Earthkeepers Apley Mid Waterproof Boot. They're perfect for weathering the elements of New York City, but still look great with a stylish dress. I also love red lipstick for when I want to feel confident and sexy. I get so many of my black pieces from the husband/wife design team behind Haus Alkire. They're a true inspiration to me. Julie and Jason are dear friends of mine and I admire their work as a fan and a friend. Jason’s custom fabric prints are the perfect complement to Julie’s feminine and forward silhouettes. I always want everything in the store when I stop by. Actually, it was Jason who introduced me to Antique Garage. "
