On May 17th & 2st, Frankie Cosmos joined Real Estate for a shoegazey and magical set at Brooklyn Steel. With hints of vaporwave fun and twee, playful melodies, it was a sweet show to dance and nod yer head to. And, both shows sold out! I could see why – the set list was on fire with plush tones and great vibes.

Personally, I have my eyes on the lemon shoes. They’re so dreamy and perfect for that I-just-visited-a-vineyard-today look. Or you know, reading a book of poems in Transmitter Park.

Macha Jewelry is a witty, brazen little jewelry line that some Greenpointers might not know about. Bernice Kelly started the brand in 2009 and opened her design studio on West Street.

If you’re thinking of making a shiny or glittery splurge this season, check out these ten new arrivals at Macha for your oh-so-cool spring aesthetic. You can also get a peek inside Bernice’s craft at her studio during Greenpoint Open Studios (June 3-4) in a couple of weeks.
One of my favorite lazy weekend activities? People watching in Greenpoint. It’s the best because there are quite a few stylish (and foxy!) denizens in this buzzing community. I’m always drawn into self-expression and how people dress themselves.

There you can score big on jumpsuits, mules, bright colored blouses, watermelon print dresses (yes!), and off beat sneakers. Be a polaroid queen in these 10 fresh picks. Continue reading →
