Meet Amy

Amy Brozio-AndrewsYou 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.

Amy, welcome. I look forward to your stories!

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 :)

I think I know Amy from college! Hi, Amy!

Amy is brilliant! She's one of my favorite Albanians. I am happy more folks will get to read her insights!

Hi Amy! Exciting to see you on here! Nicole

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.

Albany tightened its rules for shoveling snowy sidewalks last winter -- so how'd that work out?

If winter ever gets its act together and drops more snow on us, there will be sidewalks to shovel. And shortly after that, Albany will... (more)
