A view of 9th Ave from the Meatpacking District.
I’d rather swoon than shop. And by that, I mean, I’d rather window shop the exquisite pieces I can’t afford than buy off the racks for things I can. Jeffrey, in New York City’s Meatpacking District, is a great place for this kind of shopping (or, swooning). With a highly curated selection of the most coveted designer apparel and accessories, this expansive store is a treasure trove of items to ooh and ahh over. From the latest Chanel, Prada, and Lanvin shoes to CĂ©line and YSL bags, their ready-to-wear is just as impressive, if not more so. Anytime I can leisurely admire the latest Lanvin, my heart flutters. On my last visit, I fell head over heels for a hot pink Sophie Theallet gown. The beauty of Jeffrey is that it’s an approachable path to luxury with friendly, knowledgeable salespeople in an unpretentious, unencumbered setting. They edit their inventory down to the best of the best, so there’s no such thing as hunting through the racks. Should you turn your swoon into a splurge, you’ll know you found a prize here.
