This shop is a beautiful open concept space and unlike other vintage stores, it feels more like an artfully merchandised contemporary boutique than a last refuge for yesterdays threads and thankfully HOV's careful treatment of it's goods means it's…More »
Nothing's worse than unkempt hair on a man, I mean I pity the woman who has to either wake up next to a Donald Trump or Howard Stern. Asshole-ish personalities and fugly looks aside, a good haircut does wonders for a man. Thankfully hubby knows…More »
