Trove

If you feel like you need to buy a little something to cheer you up, this is the place to go. They've got cards and jewellery and the cutest little shoes and bags and accessories and sweaters from a lot of young designers. My daughters turned me on to it. I go in there and I feel young and funky. My daughter's a writer, and she has an old antique typewriter that she just loves. I found the most exquisite bracelet at Trove made of old typewriter keys, and bought it for her. The place has a Greenwich Village feel to it, very colourful and abundant. They've got some really amazing pieces in there - conversation-starter stuff.
