Helping Hands

BySusan Chan

Spring is definitely in the air. Much to retailers’ delight, the unseasonably warm air entices women to window shop and sometimes, ahem, store shop. On such an adventure, I stumbled upon a beautiful in-store design that was short of a full blown art installation. From afar, the delicate colors were ethereal. The pattern, mesmerizing. The…

Looking for Joe?

BySusan Chan

Gone are the days of the paper “We are happy to serve you” greek coffee cups of NYC. You can definitely still find them in scattered bodegas around town, but they are definitely and sadly, going extinct. I love my occasional cup of Joe and luckily I’m finding that it’s easier and lovelier getting my…

Do you C Wonder?

BySusan Chan

I could say that for my profession, it’s important that I venture out for inspiration. I admit though that as a creative entrepreneur, I just can’t help seeking out new ideas and New York City is the mecca for that. Walking around SoHo the other day, I came across a store that I read about…

A little Color on a Grey Day

BySusan Chan

Here we go again, manic fall weather. 80 degrees and gorgeous one day, grimfully wet and grey another. Like today. Sneezing and coughing surround you. Ill humor lingers dangerously. What do you do, where do you go? First things first, make sure you are getting enough sleep and are drinking enough water. Also make sure…

Where do you belong?

BySusan Chan

Call me crazy, but in my limited free time, I volunteer. That’s right, no bonbons on the sofa for me during half-time. Most people (including my hubby) think I’m crazy because in a city like New York, people can barely find the time to do their laundry and here I am up late at night…volunteering….

Toms Shoes now for your Eyes

BySusan Chan

Chance are, 5 out of 10 of you reading this already own a pair of Toms Shoes. Ok, I don’t really know, I’m just guessing. In New York, it seems like everyone had on a pair of the classic Toms as soon as the weather was a degree over 50. If you don’t know the…

Get out! It’s at your local Container Store! Who wouldn’t love this fun cleaning accessory? Cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore anymore but a way to get your chi pick-me-up every morning. And not to mention that your smartphone and keyboard will remain crumb free. I love it.

New opportunities for Queens?

BySusan Chan

There are five boroughs in New York and they all have their distinct styles and character. I happen to live in Queens, the borough that is on the other side the 59th Street Bridge. We get our share of abuse from Manhattan and Brooklynites alike but I feel it’s a really hidden gem of a…
