A Stellar Recycling Program

BySusan Chan

I wanted to share some beautiful images I came across this weekend. Yes, they are discarded cds, ingeniously transformed into an ocean of beauty and magic by architect Clémence Eliard and artist Elise Morin. Let’s not overlook the fact that the locale is a former public morgue in Paris. Talk about changing the qi of…

Light up My Life

BySusan Chan

I love this time of year. Who doesn’t love ambient stringed lights and a reason to stay indoors and eat warm comfort food? I fondly remember the glow of Christmas lights that hung in my apartment year round when I was well into my late 20s. Ok maybe it was even a little later. Unfortunately…

Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fashion 2.0

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…

Color, not Retail Therapy

BySusan Chan

It’s a drab grey day in New York City. And it’s drizzling…Yes, it is end of October but we have been having such a wonderful Indian summer this month that I’m sure today has alot of folks hanging their heads down low. Luckily I am not someone who is too affected by weather changes but…

Glowing from Within

BySusan Chan

I’ve been listening to my own advice these days. I have been actively working on cultivating my qi – meditating, practicing qigong, getting acupuncture, and eating really, really healthfully. I usually do eat pretty well with the exception of an occasional french fry or two. But boy, am I  impressing myself these days. Every morning…

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…

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…

Not a glass slipper

BySusan Chan

I can’t believe I have already started my holiday shopping. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet. I guess I have not escaped the early holiday marketing that we’ve all been bombarded with. But look what I came across while web-shopping…FELT slippers! But let the truth be known – it’s actually something I need. Maybe my new…

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…
