Fly like Bird: Best of Bird Boutique - a list by Andrea

Options for This Page

About this list:

All their wares are beautiful and luxurious in a bicycle-riding Brooklyn way, and at some point every day I find myself in front of their window muttering, "I want that dress...and that dress...and that dress...and those shoes..." until I can yank myself away and go home, finances barely intact. So it's just my luck that they've recently opened their online shop. So long, September rent!

Qualifications:

Mayle Chain Handle Leather Handbag

First to recommend

Description

I'm not a huge "bag" person - and I wouldn't spend the rent on one - but if you could afford it, wouldn't you just love a little buttery black patchwork and gold number like this that just SPITS luxury? Me too.

Martin Margiela 6 Leather Mini Purse

First to recommend

Description

Its petite cut and gem-tone color make it perfect for dancing - which, reading over my bag reviews, is apparently the only benefit worth thinking about for a bag. This little number lacks the high-tech benefits of a garter purse, but it's so small that even around your shoulder, it's out of your way - and if it gets too full, you can always wear it like a backwards necklace.

Devotte Two-Tone Wedge Sandal

First to recommend

Description

There are certain shoes men just will never understand. Why do we want to adorn an unattractive part of our body with expensive, over-the-top, uncomfortable, impractical, and not particularly flattering shoes? For the last time, I don't get it either, but I do know that I want these shoes like a drowning guy wants a flotation device. ($139 at Bird)

Acne Zip-up Low Top Sneakers

First to recommend

Description

I'm always looking for alternatives to Chucks, for some reason. It's like, I don't have Chucks, I really do want them, yet I can't quite bring myself to buy a pair, so I stock up on vintage Keds, canvas slip-ons, Grasshoppers, ballet flats, and Onutsuka Tigers instead. It's a charming quirk, and a functional excuse to buy a ton of cute, unusual shoes like these.

Pade Vavra 14k Clock and Bird Necklace

First to recommend

Description

Too, too, too pretty. The kind of necklace people stop you on the subway to compliment, or ask about, or photograph for their loved ones back west. Plus, as a Swiss girl, I've got a week spot for cuckoo clocks - and as a New York native, I've got a weaker spot for 14k gold. ($99 at Bird)

Philip Lim Silk Blouson Sleeve Belted Dress

First to recommend

Description

That deep blue color! That deep V neck! That gorgeous little cinched waist! This is exactly the dress which I want to be wearing when I walk into a cocktail party - mysterious, modest, and sexy, with a hard edge. Sounds like a pulp paperback - but fits like a romance novel. What am I even talking about? I want this dress so much!

Twenty Two Suede Pull-On Ankle Boots

First to recommend

Description

Picture yourself flying across the Tuscan countryside on a bicycle just after dawn, sun-kissed hair flying behind you, sunglasses perched on your nose just so, and a book by Calvino in your little rucksack (yes, rucksack). You know what you'd have on your feet? (now $99 at Bird)
