Tad Outlett

This shop receives the sale merchandise from the Tad Concept Store-and since it's only a short walk away, do pencil in a visit. There's lots of home decor, like sequined pillows (about $50), but we headed straight to the back room, which is flush with deeply discounted clothing by big names like Balenciaga.
