BySusan Chan

On Wednesday evening, a dear and talented friend of mine, Carmen Artigas moderated a wonderful event on the Future of Sustainable Fashion hosted by Be Social Change. The event took place at Coco-Mat, a new SoHo retailer who specializes in natural sleep products (another passion of mine!). Feng Shui wise, the space was beautiful, spacious…

Colorful Playground for Adults

BySusan Chan

Have you ever seen a rainbow and not smiled? Exactly. In Paris’ Grand Palais exhibition space, French artist Daniel Buren has done just that – created whimsy and happiness in a 13,500 square meters in an exhibit titled, “Excentrique(s), Travail in Situ.” Just take a look at these photos and see for yourself.

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…

The Imperial Mondrian

BySusan Chan

Sunday tea at the Mondrian. Or their restaurent, Imperial No. Nine to be exact. Almost as nice as a drive to the country. Almost. The main differences are that it’s off the R train and is filled with fashionistas. The menu looked good (we only had beverages and a nibble) and most importantly the setting…

Do you hear what I hear?

BySusan Chan

When I’m walking the streets of New York or riding our lovely subway system, I am always floored by how many people are on their gadgets. Iphones, kindles, nooks, ipads etc. I understand, commuting is a bore. But what stood out to me even more is what many of them were wearing on their heads…

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…
