On rainy days in the city, such as today, you might not be so inclined to go out shopping in the muggy weather.  What you can do to save some time from holding that umbrella, is to browse your favorite shop’s websites.  One of our favorites in the city is Basic Basic, which is a small contemporary shop right on Broadway, around Astor Place.  You can look at their products on their website, and then go right to the store to try on your favorite products!  Everything they have on the site is available in the store, a major time saver if you don’t want to go roaming around in the rain.  Basic Basic, also known as tee-zone.com offer brands such as James Perse, Michael Stars, Free People, Splendid and other favorites.  They are very up-to-date with their fashion trends and while they do carry the basics, they also have fashionable pieces that are must haves for the season.  They get new merchandise every week and have sales frequently, so make sure you check back often!
