Minneapolis named one of Lucky Mag's Top 25 Shopping Cities

Lucky Magazine has had its eye on Minneapolis shopping for some time now, as evidenced by a Minneapolis boutique roundup in its June 2011 issue and its online directory, which name-drops Blacklist Vintage, June resale, Grethen House, Hunt and Gather Antiques, i like you, Finn Style, Design Collective, Parc Boutique, Bluebird Boutique, and the Room & Board Outlet. Now, it's giving Minneapolis shopping more props with its Top 25 Shopping Cities list, in which Minneapolis nabs the number 24 slot.

This week in Vita.mn: Theyskens' Theory, SWAG52, "Project Accessory"

I also spotlight the new Theyskens' Theory collection at Grethen House and the new local shopping club SWAG52:

Lucky Magazine features Minneapolis shops

After creating a Minneapolis shopping listing for its website last month, Lucky Magazine has featured a bunch of local shops in its July print issue, going as far as to call Minneapolis one of the "best new shopping cities." Stores featured include Bumbershute, Flirt, Grethen House, Finn Style, Design Collective, Blacklist Vintage, and Allee Metro Chic.

It's always nice to see Minneapolis fashion get national attention. Such is the case this week as Lucky Magazine has just launched a new online shopping directory for Minneapolis. It includes some familiar names: Blacklist Vintage, Design Collective, Finn Style, Grethen House, Hunt & Gather Antiques, I Like You, June, Parc Boutique, and Room & Board Outlet. Congrats to those who were listed!
