1) Irregular Choice: Quirky British shoe company Irregular Choice has opened a flagship at 276 Lafayette Street in Nolita. Though we haven't received much info about the store yet, we're sure they're stocking an assortment of the brand's colorful, funky, reasonably-priced flats (pictured above), heels and boots. 276 Lafayette St between Jersey and Prince Sts; (212) 334-3404 [Racked Staff]
2) Exit 9: East Village gift emporium Exit 9 has set up shop on Smith Street. The store sells fun housewares and tabletop items like salt-and-pepper shakers shaped like ghosts, ceramic coffee cups made to resemble the Greek paper ones you get at delis, and band-aids printed to look like bacon strips. Good times. 129 Smith Street between Pacific and Dean Sts, Boreum Hill, Brooklyn; (718) 422-7720 [A Brooklyn Life]
3) Wendy Mink: The petite space that had housed vintage jewelry store Pippin is now home to jewelry store Wendy Mink. Mink, who relocated to the LES after 15 years in the West Village, is offering her own beautiful and delicate pieces as well as items from other local artists. 72 Orchard St between Broome and Grand Sts; 212-260-8758 [NY Mag]
