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…

Smile and say “qi!”

BySusan Chan

The other night, I took a qigong class with Master Yang Yang at The New York Open Center. It was a roomful of diverse folk who were looking for ways to alleviate the stress of everyday life. What we didn’t anticipate (or at least I didn’t), was an evening of joyful instruction, sprinkled with qigong…

Feng Shui your plate

BySusan Chan

“Isn’t Feng Shui only about moving furniture around or choosing a paint color?” Yes, those are definitely Feng Shui elements but just part of the equation. Think about it, how does moving your furniture and painting your bedroom wall a color you love make you feel? If done right, you should feel happy and supported,…

Better than morning coffee

BySusan Chan

I was having a harried morning before a Feng Shui consultation today. Things were not moving along smoothly and there seemed to be a hiccup at every turn and it was only 8am! Having gone through my ritualistic preparation before leaving my home, I brought my attention to my immediate surroundings. Most Feng Shui practitioners know…

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…

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…

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…

I’ll take the Low Line

BySusan Chan

What a coincidence that I reported on our visit to the Highline last week and this past week, mentions about a new Low Line is in the media. Better know as the Delancey Underground, this new New York environmental project that takes over an abandoned trolley on the lower east side of Manhattan. It would…
