Meet Amy
You might have noticed someone new posting on the site this morning. Her name is Amy Brozio-Andrews and she's AOA's new shopping person. We're really excited about getting Amy involved with AOA -- if only because we've been rotating the same four outfits for what seems like forever.
To help us all get to know Amy a little better, we asked her a few questions about her personal style and favorite local shopping spots.
How would you describe your style?
Casual and practical, complemented with unique jewelry pieces. I don't have a set style, I just like what I like. If it looks good, then it works for me.
What are some of your go-to shopping spots?
For clothes, I like H&M, Gap, Banana Republic, Steve & Barry's, INC. For accessories, I usually go to Macy's and H&M. Shoes, I like Saratoga Shoe Depot, Bakers, and DSW.
I also like to shop at Pearl Grant Richmans, The Cottage Herb Farm Shop, Tattered Pages used bookstore, G. Willikers in Saratoga for kids' toys, Putnam Market, and Crisan Bakery.
What's your all time favorite shopping story or deal?
Let's see... my best deal was the $235 Laundry by Shelli Segal silk blouse I got from Goodwill for $19.99 (never worn -- the original tags were still on it!).

Thanks again to everyone who applied for the shopping position -- there are some seriously stylish people in the Capital Region.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Welcome!
Just curious... Is it a result of the AOA survey you posted a few weeks ago, i.e. people's dire need for more shopping articles?
I would hate to see a bad case of Gustafson on AOA :)
