New York City is still haunted by the ghosts of C. Wonder — or at least its looming empty storefronts. When the bright and preppy clothing, accessories, and home goods brand, run by Tory Burch's ex-husband Chris Burch, announced that it was closing back in January, speculation grew as to what would replace the Soho, Flatiron, and Columbus Circle outposts. Diesel has filled its shoes over at 10 Columbus Circle, but the other two locations have yet to find their successors.

While 72 Spring Street is still on the market, the Fifth Avenue location is has gone the way of a Ricky's Halloween Pop-Up Shop, perfect for those in search of quick and easy Halloween attire, but not for shoppers who crave high-end and classic additions to their wardrobe.

With a whole month ahead of us before Halloween hits, it's unclear how long we'll have to wait to find out who is taking over this prime retail spot.
