If you're scrambling for a last minute Christmas gift or getting a jump on finding a glam outfit for New Year's Eve, check out ModaListas at the Limelight Shops (656 6th Avenue at 20th Street), a three-story collection of independent shops and eateries.
Recently, the shopping emporium was remodeled and looks like a hip department store reminiscent of Barney's. And ModaListas (in Spanish it means fashion list), a shop that started with less than 100 square feet has expanded to take over most of the first floor.
"We were the strongest tenant," co-owner Monica Phromsavanh says of ModaListas.
"With this economy, the recipe for success is to follow what the audience and public wants. Obviously we want to [cater] to high-fashion and higher end lines. But people are looking for fashion at lower prices, and we have a lot of options for under $100."
What the women who shop at ModaListas want is a mix of contemporary ready-to-wear and unique designer fashions at affordable price points.
"Not everyone can afford the $300 dress," says Monica, who is Asian but grew up in Argentina. "But you can still get something fabulous for the holidays."
Plus, the store sells its own fashion-forward, limited edition line from $85 - $295 (styles change almost every other week); and items from emerging designers like Shirin Askari from the sixth season of Project Runway for $300 - $600.
Exclusively for Everything She Wants' readers, ModaListas is offering a 20 percent discount on select clothing and accessories for under $100.
Here are a few options:
1) A trendy clutch bag for $95.
2) A scarf, belt and gloves combo for under $99.
3) A sweater, scarf and pair of colored skinny jeans for $99.
If you're in New York City, stop by ModaListas at the Limelight Shops and tell them Everything She Wants sent you. And if you're not in NYC, visit the website for outfit options.
