I Went Trend Shopping In NYC: Here’s What I Found!
Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to spend several days in NYC doing a little trend shopping, street style spotting and, of course, eating! These trips are fun and inspiring, and I always return home on idea overload. The purpose of the trip was to do “blog research,” which is basically trend shopping, people-watching and touching and feeling anything that catches my eye. And, I hit all our favorite stores, which I’ll share with you below.
As we all know, shopping online isn’t necessarily easy. Seeing the product firsthand helps me select the items I’m going to feature on the blog. As always, I strive to remain authentic and honest, so the pieces that end up here are ones I’ve either purchased, helped someone with, tried on, or want to try. This is my “authenticity promise” to you, and I take it very seriously.
It was a very successful trip, and I’m excited to show you my insider finds. Today’s post features shopping highlights, tips on what to buy from your favorite brands, and a few recent purchases. I covered a lot of ground in four days, and got the inside scoop by asking the salespeople and managers questions about fit, top sellers, etc. I hope you find this post helpful when it comes to making your next online purchases!

Where I stayed: Fouquet’s New York
Situated in the Tribeca neighborhood, Fouquet’s is a new hotel that has quickly become a hot spot. I’m so glad I found it! Beautiful interior design, amazing service, and a super cute cobblestone street in front all added to the stay. Of course, the minute I walked into my room, I knew it was going to be the perfect home base. Since I was alone this time (and was tired at night), I enjoyed the place next door for dinner — two nights in a row! Also, I loved seeing all the locals and overhearing their conversations 😉

Spotted many slingbacks: Bought these Schutz in black, eyeing the Jimmy Choos, love these Givenchy buckle cool-girl ones and the Khaites are super comfortable
Loafers are still showing up everywhere! These affordable ones by Schutz are really cute, and so are these by J.Crew
It’s boot season: These designer-inspired ones at Reformation are amazing. I bought these best-selling Staud ones, and everyone needs knee boots
Susie’s purchases in NYC
Found too many things at the Frame store: This chunky cardigan, this blouse, this white tee, these jeans, and this cropped trench
Walked in to the Simkhai store and tried on lots of dresses. Brought home this one with faux leather, and this knit one
Loved the ba&sh store, and recommend this faux leather jacket and this best-selling cardigan in brown
Black was the theme of my purchases: this skirt, this cool all season Theory bomber and these boots
Couldn’t get everything home, so splurged on this suitcase in shiny green with a cute monogrammed tag
Rag & Bone was buzzing
Rag & Bone ponte blazer | COH jeans | Sandals | Tote
I stopped by the Soho Rag & Bone store, and the sales people couldn’t keep up!
Jeans everyone was trying on: Peyton, Miramar Sofie (cotton terry and perfect for travel), and the best-selling Logan jean
The Slade blazer comes in many versions: Wool (my favorite), ponte (love the camel color), and faux leather (swooning over)
This is such a great cardigan: Navy classic stripe
LOVE their boots: this everyday casual one and this chelsea boot are perfect for cold weather
Everyone is wearing a sweater over their shoulders!
This Veronica Beard cardigan has a built in scarf so you get the look
My two favorites for layering over your shoulders: Quince $50 cashmere and this Sezane one
