As some of you know, I have dabbled in retail in the past. My modern design store Mezzanine and retail happening Hugh were the major projects of my 30s, but I wrapped them up this spring - a victim of my wanderlust, not to mention my wandering attention.
Apparently I was not completely free of the retail bug, because I kept buying vintage (which at varying points was a large part of what I'd sold) with the intention of hoarding, or maybe selling on etsy, and when my friend and former landlord called me up to say the space that Hugh had occupied next to Centaur on Park Avenue was still available I figured "why not?" and opened up Hugh for the Holidays.
Hugh for the Holidays is a specially-themed version of Hugh - the idea is that Hugh goes on a swank ski holiday and classic bachelor pad style crosses paths with Scandinavian chic. The store is all about affordable cool gifts, drinking well and entertaining with style. It's a lot of vintage with a healthy dose of new merch - so think Mad Men glasses on teak serving trays, or stainless steel bar accessories from Denmark, or vintage metal Thermoses for sneaking hot toddies into the movie theater (right Stephan?)
If you live in the area and are moderately inclined, stop in for a little dose of hip shopping on Park Avenue, right behind the Fox Theater. Open weekday evenings and weekend days until Christmas Eve. Fan Hugh on Facebook, why don't you, to get all the details? Or check out the website at lovehughlongtime.com!

Yes yes, thank you thank you!
bestblogsdetroit got it only partly right. This blog is not just one of the best in Detroit, but one of the best in the country! And I just wish I could shop at Hugh. (I love Danish modern, but live in Seattle so won't be making it to your store.) Will you be opening an online store? Keep up the great work! FABULOUS!
