Prep staple Sperry to open NYC store

Prepsters, take note: Sperry Top-Sider - king of the boat shoe - is opening its first NYC stand-alone shop next week.

The Flatiron store (103 Fifth Ave.) will carry more than 100 styles of men's, women's and kids' footwear - including, of course, said famous boat shoe - plus a capsule collection of nautically inspired wares. We're especially looking forward to the brand's collection with womenswear designer Milly (Feb. 2), which includes floral heels, wedges and laceless sneakers ($90-$225).
