News travels fast, especially among fashion-savvy girls and their mothers. When word got out that Mixology Clothing Company opened in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center earlier this month, mothers and daughters flocked to the new store.

 

On a recent Sunday afternoon, several families of girls perused the racks of sparkling dresses, hi-low skirts, metallic sweaters, jumpers, pants, jackets, tees, and more. One girl, wearing a pair of black velvet shorts purchased earlier in the day, was back for the second time.

 

Mixology is next door to Starbucks. This is Mixology’s fifth store, and first in Westchester. Other locations are Long Island, the Hamptons, and Westport, Conn. 

 

Catering to all ages, the store features popular brands such as MinkPink, Motel Rocks, Free People, Gab & Kate, Gypsy Junkies, Brooklyn Karma, UNIF, and Decker.

 

On opening weekend, top sellers were going-out tops, party dresses, leather jackets, and sweaters, according to owner Jonathan Shapiro.

 

“We carefully curate a collection of styles that teens, young adults, and moms can all wear,” said Shapiro. While the store is busy in the mornings with mothers and after school with daughters, Shapiro says that on the weekends everyone shops together and the music, energy, and fun are really on display. 

 

Mixology covers all bases and also sells accessories, handbags, jewelry, leggings, and tanks. For more information, call 481-1771.
