My Shopping Box experience

Today I had the unfortunate pleasure of running for a train and having my bag straps come undone. Went to soho with my best bud Laura for a good time (legally, you naysayers) and I wanted to buy a bag. So as I was passing down Chrystie onto Broome Street going towards Broadway with Daffy's on my mind..I passed this place.

IT looked new and awesome! The dude that works there was very very kind. I like the idea that they have of different cubes with different little goodies, someone could rent a cube for $1 and change to about 7 dollars for a day..not bad.

I also loved the clothing in the back, good prices and great shoes. I definitely see myself wearing both the mens, womens, and unisex clothing on the racks towards the back corner. Plus I saw some great fall staples and Fashion week goodies. Unfortunately, my wallet I did not have with me...haha...only 20 dollars in tow, Broke College Kid.


But anyway, my friend bought a five dollar cute cellphone holder. IT could hold her iPod too I guess!

Then the upper cubes on both walls housed some lovely designer handbags with a proof of authenticity and some good and fair prices. Products from Asia and also other products randomly.


The one thing I truly loved was the jacobs by marc jacobs shoulder tote bag. A great bag that is simple and minimal to carry all my shit.


Definitely going back there. DEFINITELY. DEFINITELY. (It just opened back in June, no wonder I did not see it there before!)

Crystal Renn & Baptiste Giabiconi graces Chanel Soho-reopening Ad 2010

Doesn't he just beckon her to come back to bed with him? :O Does she or not? Her feelings of uncertainty make her want to wrap herself in a fluffy overcoat(?) and feel better. Hmm, doesnt clothing make us all feel better sometimes?

I gotta admit I am proud of Baptiste Giabiconi when he first hit the scene back in 2008, I was captivated by his lips and hair, they really draw you in. He has been Goody Karl Lagerfeld's muse for about 2 years now. He seriously has a good thing going and not only does he bring presence to ad campaigns but also on the runway, you think, dang I would love to see him come back next season and present more clothing.

I am also proud of Crystal Renn because this was definitely her year, I mean back to back bookings and campaigns, not to mention runway appearances. Also she proves that her image is to her liking and she is comfortable with who she is.

Many people may say the ad is boring, but it evokes this burning emotion in the pit of your stomach that wants to be unleashed but does not know how. It relates with the Chanel Soho store opening with feelings of anxiety (in a good way), which I have had the pleasure of visiting many times, lovely sales personnel and customer service.

Review: Cupcakes by Melissa {Baked by Melissa} (SOHO)

I first time I tried her mini cupcakes was during an evening out shopping in Chinatown and Soho. I decided to stop by a try one. I realized that one is so mini that you had to buy them in packages of either 3 or 4 then 10, 25, 50, 75, 100. You get a cute little package with it and each of them poked into little spaces.

So adorable!


Its so delicious and mini-sized, and healthy!
