‘Hood Hop ‘n Shop ~ Chinatown
by MelodyNew York City: the ultimate melting pot, crossroads of cultures, jigsaw of geography and generations. Within a three-block radius, one can devour exotic Cantonese cuisine, tantalize taste buds with freshly creamed cannolis, and spend their salary on sky-high stilettos in SoHo. With so many delights right outside each subway stop, it is my mission to explore each neighborhood individually, and share with anyweargirls the haute and hot highlights.
2nd stop on the hop: Chinatown
Iconic red lanterns in Chinatown
After finishing my tour of the second hop stop, all I can exhale is a grateful “Xie Xie” (mandarin for “thank you”), exiting the area in a complete state of bliss after my hourlong shoulder and foot massage courtesy of reflexologist Charlie. Never was there any intention on my part to luxuriate in a day of self-indulgent delights, but the techni-color exoticism of Chinatown has a way of transporting… [read more]
Mommy and Me Take on NYC
by MelodyThe springtime shopping spree. ‘Tis a time to embrace the adage “Out with the old, in with the new”. As closets are cleaned, impending warm temperatures leaves an average gal to exclaim that she simply has “nothing to wear”! With such thoughts weighing heavily on my fashion conscious mind, it was with great excitement that I welcomed my mother to town this past week all the way from California.
Mom - casual chic in NYC
We set out to enjoy our mutually adored activities: dining out and dressing up, which of course means a trip to Manhattan’s endless array of shops. My mom and I share so many passions in common, which led me to wonder- could we possibly share our fashion sense as well? Would it be feasable to find a single article of clothing and, through various methods of styling, make it age appropriate for both… [read more]

‘Hood Hop-n-Shop ~ The Village
by MelodyNew York City: the ultimate melting pot, crossroads of cultures, jigsaw of geography and generations. Within a three-block radius, one can devour exotic Cantonese cuisine, tantalize taste buds with freshly creamed cannolis, and spend their salary on sky-high stilettos in SoHo. With so many delights right outside each subway stop, it is my mission to explore each neighborhood individually, and share with anyweargirls the haute and hot highlights.
1st stop on the hop: The Village
Known for being the one area of Manhattan proper “off the grid”, the Village begins just South of 14th Street and spans western and central territories. Understated Chic meets University Geek in an area both collegiate and sophisticated, all drenched in European charm. One must first fill their tank for endless street strolling, which is best accomplished by snagging a seat at the Corner Bistro and attempting to conquer… [read more]
So Long, Bryant Park
by GabbyA Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Retrospective through Gabby’s Eyes
The week was nothing short of surreal, exhausting, yet THRILLING. I felt as if each day were a fortune cookie in which I never knew exactly what “fortune” the day would bring. At each show, I imagined where or in what situation I would see myself in the masterpieces featured on the runway. Although my daydreams can be a bit over-the-top (i.e. attending the Glasgow Music Fest with Pharrell Williams as my date while wearing one of Henry Holland’s statement knit tops); but for the most part I was in the real world. Dare to invade my mind for five shows?
Irina Shabayeva’s fall 2010 collection left me breathless! It is no wonder that she won in the sixth season of Project Runway. As printed on the run-of-show sheet, “freedom and the un-tethered journey of flight” inspired Shabayeva to… [read more]
