my concept
useful, economical, modular pieces that can be mix-matched in numerous
ways (because why can't fashion be useful and lasting? I think
it can!) So I say Maximize your Minimalism!

favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

grand st, williamsburg
The next time you are in Williamsburg, turn off Bedford Avenue and explore Grand Street instead. There are some wonderful unique restaurants and boutiques of great quality and decor. I can't say enough. It is our new favorite restaurant row. To get there, plan your subway route on www.hopstop.com. Or use this map I found on the back of Bozu's business card. Therapy Boutique and Spa 115 Grand St call: 718.486.0370 read this articleHand-selected pieces for the home, body, and mind including a seasonal selection of plants and flowers. They also carry selected styles from my collection! Mine177 Grand St www.minemetalart.comKristina Kozak's metalwork is bold and incredible! Her boutique showcases her creations as well as a wonderful selection of unique things for the home. Open for shopping Friday through Sunday You must pay a visit, because the website doen't show the store. And it is great. Snacky Sake Lounge187 Grand St call: 718.486.4848 Wong Kar Wai and Jackie Chan films play while you sip sake or Korean soju and eat up a storm without spending up a storm. The decor is similar to my apartment so I love love loved it. If I had thought of it sooner, I would have celebrated my birthday here. Next year! Commune191 Grand St www.communeinternational.comA hair salon and shop with a very specific minimalist eye. Maybe they will like my Silk Obi Sashes. Dokebi199 Grand St read these reviewsKorean barbeque, shabu-shabu, plus vegetarian yummy dishes. Good prices on pitchers of Japanese beer. Bozu296 Grand St www.oibozu.comI gasped when we entered. The decor is breathtaking. Pass the sharkskin plexi wall in front (referencing the handle of a Samurai sword) and be dazzled by daruma! And the food and drink are amazing. This place totally dazzles. I tried the turnip shochu along with our meal. Yes, turnip! Lodge318 Grand St www.lodgenyc.comWho says antlers are so yesterday. Feh to you. I love their decor. It has rustic and modern "lodge" touches all mixed together in a humorous and eye-pleasing way. Brunch is great! Try the Trout and Eggs. Labels: brooklyn, restaurants, williamsburg
