A Cut Above the Rest

BySusan Chan

Beautiful isn’t it? If you look very closely though, you’ll see that it’s not as flat as you thought it was…… Whoa. That’s what I said when I saw (and figured out) what exactly was Lisa Rodden’s works of art. Delicate little treasures that are not only gorgeous but spiritually moving and emotionally imbued. Her…

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…

Minimalist Interiors

BySusan Chan

Decluttering. Minimal. Those are the buzz word going around these days especially around resolution times. Feng Shui involves placing furniture and personal belongings so that energy or Chi can move freely and optimally. I must emphasize though that the person/s using the space must feel their energy is settled, secure and happy within this environment….

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…

A New Generation of Footwear

BySusan Chan

Gone are the days of sneakers dangling over telephone wires in the street. Although I relish the nostalgia, I have to get with the times. Thanks to Oat Shoes, a cool company from Amsterdam, your sneakers can now easily become part of our beautiful eco-system instead of piling up in your closet. Oh come on,…

Vandaag: a northern breath of fresh air

BySusan Chan

Great sign and an exterior you can’t miss Sleek interior at Vandaag photos: vandaagnyc.com Needing to warm up with a cup o’ joe, we popped into a new venue (for us) in the East Village. The place was called Vandaag. Maybe we were lured in by the sign outside that promised “Bierrestaurant.” Or maybe it was the…
