It’s prime shopping season in NYC. To celebrate — and help narrow down where to head for all your holiday shopping needs — we’ve teamed up with style editor Bobbie Thomas, who is part of the Style Squad on NBC’s “Today” show, to share our favorite stores around the city.
“Here in New York City, I feel we’re so lucky,” Thomas told amNY’s Meredith Deliso on a joint shopping trip. “We live in a fishbowl of fashion and, most importantly, accessible fashion. I think you can find anything you’re looking for — any style, any price point, it’s a perfect city to express yourself.”
Here are five of Alexander’s favorites, followed by a handful of Thomas’ go-tos.
