brooklyn renegade

me and my pollo, professional and genius organizer, nicolioio got down with the renegade craft fair in mccarren park this past weekend. nicole was on the very focused and year-long hunt for jewelry from lines vera meat and erica weiner.

she made out with both a fantastic home made two finger gold ring form the former and some sexy french name bracelets from the latter. plus, she even bought me an adorable hair bow made from men's ties for being such a good lil helper. although the renegade craft fair only comes around once a year, all goods and crafts can be found for sale on etsy.

I like bike.

anyone who is anyone knows that the epicenter of hip stems from my hood of williamsburg, brooklyn. as a style and trend expert, I am all too lucky to live here and get the visual street scoop on hip style before it hits big. I'm not sure if this trend will make it to the mainstream but I saw it three times on the walk down bedford to the subway, so for the ubercool, take this trend notice: bicycle hats. those tiny little caps that sit atop a professional biker or messenger. apparently, everyone is wearing one. will you?

coffee crush

I'm in love with oslo coffee on bedford in williamsburg. I had this thing going with starbucks every morning and although they treated me right, I don't always support the things the company supports. so I moved on. and found my main source of juice. oslo makes you straighten up and fly right. a small cup in the morning with a dash of skim keeps me going through mid-afternoon and never skitzes me out. it delicious. it nutritious (well, that I am not sure of but it rhymes). if you're in BK, don't miss the chance to sip this sweet dream.
