Thrifty is Nifty at Housing Works!

Three things bring me joy: Quality vintage, great sales and supporting charitable organizations.  Trifecta in Tribeca just steps away from the office: Housing Works Thrift Shop, “New York City’s beloved chain of upscale charity thrift stores.”  I walked into an inviting boutique-like atmosphere where Marvin Gaye serenaded shoppers with a soulful Mercy, Mercy Me and a beautiful [...]

good grub, grape and girlfriends: therapy for the soul (and a little shopping too!)

The reflection in the mirror has changed. Significantly. Things are going every which way. The twins, Buttsy and Gutsy, have their own mind these days….and their own gravitational pull. Not cute. To what can I attribute this physical metamorphosis? Bad eating habits? Nope. I eat relatively healthy, always have.  A sedentary lifestyle lacking physical fitness? [...]

shopping at shecky’s!

Accessories, bags, makeup, oh my! Shecky’s Girls Night Out had it all and then some. The scene was bananas……cue Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy!” My after work hang out was with an army of shopping divas; goodie bags in one hand, flavored beer clutched in the other while we bum-rushed vendor tables and drink bars like our [...]

Bag Lady No More!

Just this past Friday I was admiring my Girl’s bad ass Tory Burch bag. This bag was big enough to hold everything!! I am talking her lunch bag, her shoes, and all the stuff we ladies need to carry every day, and it slung across her body but didn’t look big and bulky. Here I [...]

What’s old is now new again. A rebirth of back-in-the-day styles is on the rise and has been rearing its retro head with a vengeance!  Trust me, there is a real groovy-glam movement going on!  Today’s top designers are redefining the term ‘fashion forward.’ Take advantage of vintage ladies!  I attended a vintage trunk show [...]

FNO NYC–Packing it in at Meatpacking!

Fashion Night Out NYC 2010

Meatpacking

Funkychicspeak Ladies were gettin’ it in at Meatpacking last night! The Scene: Meatpacking at its finest. A block party for fashion addicts.

Neckties–The Remix

Accessory Remix

http://www.accessoryremix.bigcartel.com/

There is something sexy about a little androgyny when it comes to mixing up the wardrobe. A chick in a necktie falls within those boundaries–powerful yet feminine. I’ve never learned to master that perfect knot on a necktie but thanks to Accessory Remix I never will.  They have created a

fashion with an attitude

Catherine Malandrino Boutique

Hudson St, NYC

We all know it’s not an easy task to find “the look” that defines your total fierceness, right? I’m talking about that internal diva that lives inside all of us that doesn’t always get her proper shine. Well, imagine a collection of must-haves for fall that accentuate your wardrobe and the infinite beauty and power [...]
