Store I've Missed: Club Monaco


One of the things I hate the most about Florida is the lack of decent shopping (save the Millenia Mall in Orlando where you can buy Jimmy Choo and Crate & Barrel under the same roof - oh my!) Somehow the fashion train always seems to arrive in Florida 4years late. Regardless of the fact that they sell the same copies of Vogue there as they do in NYC, the trends and styles of the moment never seem to trickle into the mainstream shopping in Florida quite as fast as they should. Some stores are altogether unrepresented (exception: Miami seems to be it's own Fashion Island in Florida and yet somehow the other cities cannot follow their example). One store I've missed regular window-shopping trips to is Club Monaco. Think of it as a more edgy Banana Republic. Although a bit over-priced at retail, they discount deeply when merchandise is marked down and are a great source for well-fitting "basis with a twist". Not your run-of-the-mill black pants and white shirt store. Amen.
