The ShOptimist: Brooklyn Bleu

The holidays are here! And what better way to spend them than shopping?

Bed-Stuy Patch knows you're busy, so we've done the window shopping for you, keeping in mind three important qualities: utility, affordability and irresistibility. 

This week, we're featuring , a vintage clothing boutique located at 351 Gates Avenue, between Bedford and Nostrand Avenues.

Brooklyn Bleu does not take walk-ins; it's by appointment only. Also there's no digging required, because almost everything is peerless, and the store's owner, Tenisha Light-Caba, will thoroughly assist you in your shopping quest.

Make an appointment, go in, tell her what you're looking for, and she will lead you to a variety of irresistible options. The only thing left for you to do is try it on for size.

Inside Brooklyn Bleu's doors this week, we are spotlighting winter wear, including coats, capes and neck stoles-- clothing Light-Caba describes as "Street Smart" and "Glamorous." 

"It's smart, because it's affordable, and glamorous because that's what Brooklyn Bleu is all about-- bringing that luxe and glam to your hard-working, everyday life," she says.

Feel free to peruse this week's Brooklyn Bleu photo gallery for that special glam item or one-of-a-kind gift.

To make an appointment with Tenisha Light-Caba at Brooklyn Bleu, email her at info@brooklynbleu.com or call her at 310-927-2093. Also, feel free to visit her website and shop Brooklyn Bleu online.
