In a contest for New York’s most charming shops, Some Odd Rubies may well come out on top. The store’s exposed brick walls and antique display cases as well as a dressing room that harkens to days past (when shopping was a more civilized past-time) all work to create a warm, inviting space for leisurely browsing.

Vibrant colors abound in winter and summer alike and the clothes are feminine, sexy, versatile, all with silhouettes that are infinitely wearable. Some Odd Rubies’ own line—the centerpiece of the store—features one-of-a kind vintage pieces that are inventively reworked, deconstructed, modified, and modernized by the trio of designers/owners, Odessa Whitmire, Ruby Canner, and Summer Phoenix.
