These are more spots that I found from my NYC trip in March. Here we are at the front of The Martime Hotel at the Matsuri restaurant, which is one of the best Japanese in the city. In the first picture is my friend Kate and the other 2 are some models I met. I like the way she used studs at her shirt and Kate’s rock chick look.

I miss New York and the shopping opportunities. I can’t wait to get back to the city. I have made some entries earlier about the Bess store, where they are known for their stud collection. Also I found other things I liked there, for example this feather necklace and their special jewels such as cross pendants, broaches and earrings, presented in these changeable colorful boxes.

Ziggies own painting and a fatima hand, Alexander Wang leather vest (she was doing his showroom) and the rest is vintage found on different flee-markets around the world. 

A DING ABOUT Ziggie Bruhn:

My friend Ziggie is 29 years old and a very beautiful and open mindet girl from Copenhagen. She moved to New York City 3 ½ years ago to fulfil her dream as an actor. So far she has studied at the HB studio’s, Stella Adler and right now she is at the Matthew Corozine Studio Theatre, inc.

Besides the acting, she models and is the founder of the art video homepage called www.artworldconfidential.net.

While I was in NYC in March I met up with Ziggie in her apartment in Williamsburg to ask her some questions and look closer into her New York universe. I took these great pictures of her closet and her apartment.

“I love your blog, I check it out very often, it’s very inspiring and of course I love to see a bit of what’s going on in Copenhagen”

Vintage dress, Chanel shoes, Stella Mc.Cartney body-stocking and her home sprayed vacuum cleaner.

I spotted this couple in 242 Mott str. Nolita in NYC. I like their style, which is cool, but still with a chilled look. The blue cafe in the background is a hipster hangout called Gitanes. This is one of my favorite cafes, whilst I was in NYC. Their kitchen is French-Moroccan food and I love their baked feta and a mix of olives and orange slices with crusty bread. But really, you’re not here only for an epic meal— Gitane is all about sipping a glass of Bordeaux or shot of espresso while sitting at one of the sidewalk tables and ogling the “fashionista” traffic.

In New York I got this fantastic shop recommended by a friend. It is located down in the area immediately south of Washington Square Park, nestled between chess shops, Indian-Mexican eateries, pseudo-Italian cafes, and theatres. There is one particular shop that stands out because of it’s selection of unique items and that is the C’est Magnifique. Though all of the items is covered with a soft layer of grayish dust, every item seems unique, and a many are both beautiful as well as grotesque. Some of the pricier items go beyond jewelry, and would best be described as curios. Skulls (real and silver), tusks, ornate boxes, and more are behind the glass cabinet on the right side, and a veritable army of earrings (more…)
