So the other day I walked up Fifth Avenue from Third and I missed the REALLY BIG NEWS. Bird, the much loved, very stylish women’s clothing shop that started in the South Slope is now on Fifth Avenue between 2nd and 3rd Streets. It was actually a pioneer in the South Slope and is now an iconic Brooklyn brand I’d say.

Well, they’ve closed their South Slope shop and are concentrating on Fifth Avenue, Smith Street, and an upcoming shop in Williamsburg.

The Fifth Avenue shop will sell men’s clothing as well as  Green Bird, their line of green clothing. I haven’t been over there yet but I am chomping at the bit.

For me the shop is on the expensive side and the sizes aren’t always to my body’s liking BUT they do have Petit Bateau t-shirts, great shoes, accessories and jeans. And lots, lots MORE.

Y’know, I don’t even know which storefront that is. I’ve been very out of touch with that particular block lately. Watch out every one, the storefront that was Lulu’s will also, finally, get occupied now.
