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…

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…

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…

Minimalist Interiors

BySusan Chan

Decluttering. Minimal. Those are the buzz word going around these days especially around resolution times.

I love this packaging! I have been guilty of buying products just for the packaging (anyone care for any mint jelly foot cream?), but this time, I am very familiar with the item. Mariage Frères, one of my favorite French tea companies has released this beautiful tin of aromatic green tea accented with a hint…

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…
