Shopping Small Shops
We have to be mindful of the number of days we are in Paris per year, so late spring and summer we stay stateside and bounce between Bedford, NY and Martha’s Vineyard. I have not been shopping much, but when I do, I go to small, local shops. Luckily, there are a number of great ones on my flight path. At Our North in Katonah, NY I found Demylee tops, my favorite Alex Mill white denim skirt, and the lace Lack of Color bucket hat. Right here in Bedford I can buy my beloved Perfumer H Bergamot perfume at OHHO. On Martha’s Vineyard I picked up amazing sweaters by Stone and Guest in Residence at Magnetic North. En route, I often stop in Boston to see my daughter and pop into Dress Boston where I bought this Vanessa Bruno raffia bag, and Covet, which has the best resale. I have found Dior trousers and these fabulous Sézane sandals at Covet’s Charles Street shop. I cannot go to Locust Valley, NY — where we had a house before Bedford — without stopping into the Locust Valley Bookstore. Lisa’s newsletter is a must-follow. While in LV, I’ll grab a Devoción coffee next door at Karmic grind.
Happy summer (tomorrow)!

Incredible list! I love the Locust Valley Bookstore Newsletter. I didn’t know about Covet and will pop in next time I’m in Boston. Is Magnetic North the new Midnight Farm?
Wow, didn’t know we were neighbors ! Pizza and a drink at OHHO (love that place) followed by a movie at the Playhouse is often our Friday routine!
Waving from Pound Ridge! Didn’t realize OHHO has Perfumer H. Can’t wait to scope.
Check out the Scout guide; a local live, love, shop guide originating here in Charlottesville, Va several years ago but now covers over 50 cities/towns across the country. It promotes only local and only the best. An excellent way to get to know a new place whether travelling or relocating.
Have you tried Perfumer H pettigrain? I think it’s similar to Bergamot and wanted your opinion.
Hi Kathy, I have not but will now! xp
Great list! Is the Alex Mill skirt fairly short? With 60 year old legs – not sure, but need something workable instead of jeans here in Nor CA. Thanks Preston!
It’s short, not mini, but short.
