Archivia

Images from Archivia. 
I've always loved a good bookstore. I admit, I could spend hours in Barnes & Noble. Nothing wrong with B&N, but small book shops are my fave. Archivia, on the Upper East Side, is a store where the inventory is totally devoted to art, design, architecture, fashion and all other things that are lovely. I went to the store's opening in 2007, and they've had me ever since.

  3. Oh, fabulous, I love bookstores, too! Loved your comment on LBD about the pink refrigerator, is it any wonder you grew up to be a designer? XO!

  4. I adore second hand bookshops and antiquarian books. The bookshop pictured above is so quaint almost like a music room in a grand house. It has loads of personality. Visiting such bookshops is for me a continuous pleasure;-)

  5. We lived in the 70's, just off Madison and there was the most wonderful bookstore, on Madison. Wow, I can't remember the name...but it closed in the 90's (I think). I'm so glad this one has come back to the neighborhood!
