SuperTrash Opens in NYC

I love this recent explosion of European designers opening stores in the US (and selfishly NYC so I can get in on it!). Last night I attended the opening of SuperTrash, which is the brainchild of Dutch fashion designer Olcay Gulsen hosted by Interview Magazine. Despite a name like SuperTrash the designs are anything but. It’s actually a very chic mix of feminine and edgy — we’re talking a white tuxedo jacket (with a black trim), crossed fabrications of motorcycle style jackets and vests, metallic jeans, feminine tops with sweet lacing details… They additionally have a very feminine line of lingerie, shoes, handbags and accessories, a fragrance line — and a magazine! And the pricing is affordable (I’d say it’s comprable to Top Shop).

Antica Pesa Opens in Williamsburg

Straight from the Trastevere district of Rome (which incidentally when I visited over the summer I was told is the Williamsburg of Rome), the family owned restaurant, Antica Pesa (which has been around since 1922!), has opened it’s second location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. If you love authentic, el denti Italian food add Antica Pesa to your list of must tries.

Ring in the Holiday with Henri Bendel (& mark your calendar for Nov. 15th…)

By now you all know that I’m a Bendel’s girl. Their Fifth Avenue flagship store feels like a museum every time I visit — except better since I can actually play with the assortment and have the opportunity to purchase it. So naturally, any invite I get from them should come with an oxygen tank. Recently, I visited the office to peek the holiday collection, which I’m so excited to share with you!

But first, mark your calendar for November 15th! You’re invited to join, Chris Fiore, President of Henri Bendel for the unveiling of their holiday windows. Rumor has it Bendel’s is going 1920s style. Plus, you can see all the beauties I featured below up close and personal and for any purchase you make that evening 10% of the proceeds will benefit The Eric Trump Foundation Charity for Children.
