Thanks to a reader for sending word that the Steven Alan has opened.

Shaw

For such a high end store, why why do they have strip flourescent lighting like in a discount store??
Kingman Park

Do they have the ultimate pog in stock?

Frank and Oak also opened this weekend. Lots of good things coming into this area.

Holy crap, next time I’m in the market for $400 sneakers and a $200 hoodie, I’ll know where to go.

  The trick is to wait until there’s a sale on Gilt or Haute Look. A couple of times a year, I’ve been able to pick up some good shirts for about $60-$70 each. Definitely worth the money.

    +1 to this. Steven Alan itself also has some pretty fantastic sales. I’ve gotten $400 shoes there for less than $100 and they’re MUCH nicer than what I could get for $100 at, say DSW. I rarely buy anything at Steven Alan, but love to stalk their sample sales and their sale racks.

  Everything about The Shay- from the Marie Antoinette-like figure on their advertising to the ludicrously overpriced brick and mortar stores that have gone in on the ground floor- gives me a serious Gilded Age vibe, and I get creeped out every time I walk by it. Doesn’t look like people have been chomping at those $2200+ studios, either.

    agreed. out of my place or maybe just too soon, but with the $ that’s in the area, im sure these spots will do just fine.

    I’m sorry, but the correct answer is “What is a $2,500 studio?”

    The Shay’s advertising is so garish it makes me cringe.

Hi there! live around the block. Best addition to this area has been the new Compass Coffee, other than that- Glens is about it. The rest of them are overpriced, useless stores selling $128 Cashmere T’s.

  Uh, have you felt those cashmere Ts?
  - Anon
    
    Ugh, I know, rite? It’s like, have they even compared this to the H&M or Target cashmere Ts? It’s called “hand” and there’s no way they compare in quality. Sometimes it’s worth paying just a little more for that extra touch.

      “Just a little bit more”?
  - 7thStTechGuy
    
    So tempted…not gonna lie.

  Frank and Oak isn’t expensive. Check the prices.

    +1. For the quality, I think they’re one of the best value stores around.
