The owner, Novi, is from Indonesia and she and the fashion designer who has the shop next door helped me pick out accessories to complete an important outfit. This elegant little arcade (the charming predecessor to today's enclosed malls) houses a real community of merchants, organizations, artists, and a music school. It was a highlight of my quick visit to Buffalo.

I've visited this store a couple of times since it opened this past December. From scarves for myself and jewelry for gifts, this place has some amazing selections of colorful and unique jewelry, clothing and home decor.
