i first discovered billy reid a couple of years ago on a trip to new york. we were staying at the bowery hotel and my hubby and i headed out on foot to do what i love to do in the city - SHOP. dear husband has little patience for how i like to shop so we were focused on him. just around the corner from the hotel we discovered a little slice of design heaven in the billy reid shop. how fitting that a couple of southerners in the city end up in a shop with a southern based (alabama) designer. hardwood floors, antique furniture, crystal chandelier and mounted deer head give it a ralph lauren meets anthropologie with a handful of whimsy thrown in. we checked out with several jackets, pants, shirts and ties. the shoes are amazing, but alas we did have a budget. lovely bar in the corner by the dressing rooms if you are really feeling the atmosphere and wish to sip a bit of kentucky bourbon as you shop:)
