WEAR
Limited-Edition Deyrolle Scarves
What: Opening Ceremony teamed with Parisian taxidermy boutique Deyrolle to create a silk scarf printed with a menagerie of exotic animals and insects.

Where: 35 Howard St., b/t Crosby St. & Broadway (212-219-2688).
DECORATE
Modern Anthology Opens
What: Don’t let the framed nudes or piles of cattle bones intimidate you; there’s plenty of vintage and home goods for ladies in this new Dumbo boutique.
Why: If the reissued Stanley thermoses, classic barware, and retro French anatomy posters don’t thrill, hire owners/interior designers John Marsala and Becka Citron to source something that does.
