Swedish Midsummer!
Swedish Midsummer got off to a soggy start this year but those Swedes sure are resilient! After the rain passed there was plenty of dancing around the Maypole, smiling, celebration and believe it or not, gorgeous sun! We loved all the beautiful homemade floral headdresses and traditional costumes – plenty of cute kiddos running about, [...]
Welcome back, Wendy
The new Wendy Nichol that just came in is like a lovechild between fantasy lore (think Game of Thrones) and rock and roll. Stark and minimal, these can also work to add an edge to anything feminine and soft. Incorporating the ethereal while remaining earthly, it’s safe to say we all want a pair. Clockwise [...]
Heat Wave
We think Malia Mills is what you should wear when it’s 95 degrees out. Williamsburg Staffers Monique and Aliyah show us what’s new. Malia Mills Georgia romper & Danceteria top in poppy, Tsumori Chisato Cats striped cat rope bag, Warby Parker Everett sunnies, Soludos espadrilles Malia Mills Zelda Top & Tess Drawstring Pants, Malia Mills [...]
Gimme Shelter
The Great Escape: Shelter Island When the temperatures reach scorching, I hit the highway and head to Greenport and hop on the North Ferry to Shelter Island. Nothing makes the city slip away faster than blue water and big sky. A perfect weekend includes plenty of beach time, max tanning, crabbing for dinner, running a [...]
Jr. Explorers Club discover Bird in Williamsburg
This morning Brooklyn’s own Jr. Explorers Club brought a couple dozen young adventurers to Williamsburg; their camp’s mission “to use what we have – curiosity and courage – to explore all that New York City has to offer.” This week they explore trends: what they are, how they start, and how to affect them. Their [...]
K. Jacques: Standard French
K. Jacques was started in 1933 by Mr. & Mrs. Keklikian Jacques, Armenian refugees who began working as shoe manufacturers in Saint Tropez out of necessity. The original factory still exists today, and employs just 25 people. Each sandal takes 60 hours to complete, but will last you years and miles of wear. Park Slope [...]
Acne Resort 2013
ACNE RESORT 2013 I loved the intimate, super-chic and relaxed atmosphere of the presentation this morning at Milk Studios narrated by Acne founder Jonny Johansson. “It’s all about communication. It’s a young girl who works in PR and who communicates herself in a street-style kind of way, she is fast and she is vocal. These [...]

bird goes to ACNE
Last night Bird stopped by ACNE’s awesome new SOHO store at 33 Greene St. to welcome a favorite Swedish brand to its new flagship home. Rhubarb cocktails were flying and Jack even managed to do some shopping as all the city’s Scandavianophiles gathered on a perfect summer night.
Kennebunkport, Maine: “The Place to be all Year”
Over the recent holiday weekend I was lucky enough to drive up to Maine for a long weekend with some pals. Given that it rained here in Brooklyn everyday up until I left, the promise of sunshine and salty ocean air was just what I needed! The destination was Kennebunkport, Maine; more specifically Cape Porpoise. [...]
