Lola’s — Best boutique in South Brooklyn

Lola’s Boutique is kind of set up to look like your most fashionable friend’s (colossal and breathtaking) closet.

Owner Mariana Nuziale picks each article of clothing, accessory and novelty item with great care, is sweet as sugar and never, ever pushes you to buy a thing.

Lace-up Flat by MIA — $60
