Peachfrog finds

One more Williamsburg discovery to share from my visit to Brooklyn: Peachfrog is a designer discount boutique at 136 North 10th Street, between Bedford and Berry. A cool but welcoming space in a former spring-roll factory, Peachfrog stocks designer names at 70 to 90% off retail prices (the name comes from a Chinese talisman for financial good luck). The staff are friendly, and their selection of fashion and homeware is great. I restricted myself to one pair of blue leather high-heeled Harajuku Lovers Kasi platform espadrilles, originally $90 but less than half that here. They're perfect for lounging on a Chinese lily-pad, preferably sipping a peach martini...
