My friend and I originally planned our NYC trip to go to the MET for an exhibit. Our primary purpose and highlight of the trip quickly changed when I found this shopping experience! Planning then revolved around this!! The excitement built for a month. Parker communicated with us throughout that time—asking us what we like, what we don’t like, what we are looking for, even a great place for breakfast before our shopping trip. When the shopping began, it was clear she paid attention to all the details we provided because she had arranged personalized shopping at three fabulous designers’ studios; and each had clothes we loved in our sizes on display ready for us to try on. I am a shopaholic so I was in heaven!!! Parker was fabulous at sharing information about the design business and the designers she selected. The designers were fabulous at what they do—making beautiful clothes in beautiful fabrics. And the quality is top notch. I could go on and on….suffice it to say, it was a great experience and certainly the highlight of our 3 days in NYC. If you get the opportunity, do this!! My only regret was not buying even more beautiful items!!!

I bought my wife a tour for Christmas. Karen was easy to work with and did a lot of preliminary work in an attempt to match my wife's style with the perfect designers. Each designer was fantastic and the day could not have gone better. I would definitely recommend this tour either as a gift or if you are just looking to refresh your wardrobe with some unique pieces.

I have been shopping with Karen Parker O'Brien since 2015 and was thrilled to be back in NYC this week after much too long! The shopping tour was FABULOUS as always and we had a blast. Parker has an exquisite eye for fashion and she gets to know you over time but is also careful to ask the newcomer detailed questions to curate your entire shopping experience. Shopping in New York with Parker is so much fun!!! I highly recommend you try this unique behind the scenes experience.

My daughter Jessica and I took our first tour in 2016 and our second in 2018. Then Covid hit and we couldn't schedule in 2020. We were so happy to be able to finally go on another tour this December 15th 2023. Always look forward to seeing Karen. She is kind, fun to spend time with her, she is so excited about fashion and so sincere about wanting us to have a great experience. She picks such wonderful designers for us that we have a hard time leaving to go to the next designers, and find the next is just as fabulous as the first. Thank you Karen for making our tours with you always so special and always look forward to our next fashion adventure with you!! I would highly recommend scheduling a tour with Karen, you will be happy you did.

My Aunt and I went on our first Shopping Tour more than 5 years ago. We needed a style refresh after COVID so we booked another tour for October 2022. We saw some repeat designers (per our request) and new ones too! The clothing style and quality was amazing and it was exactly what we were looking for. The jewelry blew us away! Karen has a knack for finding designers that have great statement pieces but also staples that you can wear everyday. If you’re looking for an authentic NYC experience, this is it! Thanks (again) for an amazing experience Karen!

This has become an annual event for me and my 2 stepdaughters. We not only have a great time, but the items and designers that Karen carefully curates for each of us, is one-of-a-kind and of the highest quality. Karen always makes the experience unique and we walk away feeling exhilarated and satisfies our shopping cravings (at least until next year!)

Me, my mom and my husband went on this tour the Friday of Easter weekend. We had an incredible time. Karen was so knowledgable about the designers, and I quite liked that she took the time before the tour to get a very detailed sense of our styles and what we were looking for on this tour. We went to 4 different designers and all were very different and unique experiences. I cannot wait for us to do this tour again when we come back for Easter next year!!! This will certainly be an annual tradition for us.

My husband tells me to be dressed and ready by noon for my birthday surprise. Somewhere downtown we meet a lady dressed super cool. Still no clue what’s going on. Parker is her name and fashion is her game. Let me start by I’m not a shopper. I love nice clothes, I like looking nice but not the experience of trying on, searching for sizes etc. Then I hear I’m going on a 5 hr shopping spree in actual design shops, behind the scenes not in stores, how cool!First place was a beautiful showroom where I met the designer. I sat on a couch with a glass of champagne in my hand while Parker and the designer are showing me tons of beautiful clothes that were already picked out for me. I felt like Julia Robert’s in Pretty Woman. Parker worked with my husband and children to get a sense of my style and size. I wanted everything I tried on but decisions had to be made because we still had two more showrooms to visit. The next place was very different but just as awesome as the first. I saw clothes being made and also met the designer. Unique clothes that nobody I know will have. I tried on a polkadot shirt which I never would have considered. I loved it! It was a bit too small so the designer said, no worries that they would just make me one. Third shop was a full workroom and also very different from the other two but also just as wonderful. Parker was able to read my mind and exposed me to all different color schemes that worked much better for my complexion. Parker would tell me when she didn’t like something. Never pushed me to buy anything and genuinely loved helping me have not only a new wardrobe but a fantastic day. By the end of the day I felt like we were great friends. This was the best birthday gift I ever received. I’ll be sending my husband a lot of little hints to do this again next year.

The best shopping experience!! Post-pandemic fashion conundrum… how to shop for a black-tie optional event when it’s been a looong time since I’d truly dressed up?!
Working with Parker is a delight! Her recommendations were spot on, her playfulness and knowledge and taste are a great combination! I looked and felt awesome and the shopping experience was the opposite of the trauma I’d imagined!
I can't wait to do another. It's the only way I want to shop now!!

Fantastic opportunity to shop and plan your wardrobe even if it's adding a few pieces, starting from scratch or updating current. This is just too special to miss - highly recommend. Karen is amazing at what she does, excellent at matching designers with your desires.

My 14 yo daughter and I are coming to NYC in mid-November for her birthday. She is interested in fashion design and we are from SoCal. Her dream has always been to go to NY Fashion Week but we never can because of school. She always wants to go to Mood, because of Project Runway :). What do you recommend?
