I believe in sowing seeds as often as possible… It gives me great joy to hear others doing the same…Kudos to Marc Jacobs for this one…The designer teamed up with Creative Growth, the world’s oldest and largest art studio for adults with disabilities and announced the limited edition release of ‘Special Item,’ artist inspired merchandise exclusively for Marc Jacobs…The items include t-shirts, tote and shoulder bags and a clutch wallet, ranging in price from $19 to $35. read more
This is how you wear leggings… it’s all about allowing personal style to reflect who you are!
Style in The City is dedicated to celebrating individual style on the streets of New York! There was a definite chill in the air this morning, a light jacket was certainly appropriate…
I ran into Ti and her pup Coco…how absolutely adorable are they? As you can tell neither of them were opposed to to striking a pose!
Jane a darling Upper East Sider is the real Carrie Bradshaw! She was arriving home from a night on the town with a very handsome date, strutting into her white gloved doorman building. And just like that…I quickly snapped a shot of her…
While on the LES (The Lower East Side) on a warm Wednesday afternoon I knew I couldn’t leave without checking in at Hairy Mary’s Vintage & Design. It’s a feel good shop! I don’t know what happens when I visit but I become very nostalgic…I was talking to Susan who works there and she summed it up perfectly! She said it’s like walking into your Grandmother’s closet..yes! that’s it! It’s designed like a huge fun walk in closet that you could get lost in for hours, even though the space is small. There’s so much personality in this shop, the clothes are outrageous, the jewelry is cute, even the vanity pieces will make you say awwwwww. It’s full of color, and the art work which the owner Sharon Broit paints herself truly reflects the essence of the store’s spirit. I had to admit it makes me miss both my grandma’s who are no longer here. It is officially one of my favorite gems on the Lower East Side! Hot pick? Hell yea!

I call in to a number one radio show every night, here in NYC with “What’s The Buzz” Informing the listeners on all the current trends worldwide… This one I found fascinating! There’s a new product on the market that is a vibrator and I POD in one…yep the ….OhMiBod plugs into your I pod and automatically vibrates to the rhythm and intensity of the music….There’s also body talk which attaches to your cell phone, ….let’s just say they call it the ultimate acsexsory™ …You gotta love it!
I have to admit the Mystique jeweled thongs do look good on pretty feet…and the fringed ones below are kinda cute…Not every woman cares to run around the city in heels…including me…anything over 4 inches are worn only when I’m driving to my destination, and they usually have a 2 to 3 hour limit…lol read more

Strolling down 5th ave. on a gorgeous sunny afternoon I came across these two handsome young men who were wearing interesting t-shirts. They had a fresh hip look about them, so I chatted them up… Santo was wearing the white t-shirt that he designed himself and Alberto is wearing the same one in yellow. They actually sell them there on 5th between 81st and 82nd. They also sell these cool NYC subway maps covered in beautiful art work! Santo runs Papa B. Studios in Brooklyn, it’s an artist collective production house where they rent affordable communal studio space for all sorts of local artists, they also have a small shop called Re-Up Brooklyn where art supplies, skateboards, t-shirts and other goodies are sold. I learned all of this just stopping to compliment a t-shirt. On any given sunny day you can find Santo and Alberto on 5th ave. by the Met between 81st and 82nd. If your the neighborhood stop and say hello or hola!
