Living In Wonderland

This Howard Wolf find was too perfect for words ... especially when paired with the Mayor's piece of 50's mini-luggage, and my stylist's own suede belt:

Seeing Red

This week, I'm featuring the home of my dear friend, Jason Belz. Over the course of our 15-year friendship, we have always shared a distinct love of home interiors. When I first saw Jason's Brooklyn apartment in 2008, I was overcome with inspiration - to the tune of knowing that when Team Newman returned a few months later, we would call Park Slope our home.

Jason's incredible mix of old-meets-new is one of the things I love most about his space. And drawing from my collection of vintage wares, my stylist, photographer & I decided his home, garden, and surrounding block were the perfect canvas:

I Love a Parade!

Every June, Brooklyn Pride's annual parade passes directly by our apartment. As Team Newman stands proudly as straight allies for the LGBT community, we are always sure to represent during the parade. I knew this certain 60's caftan was just perfect for the occasion, and it even received a great deal of praise from one of the Festival's hosts!

There's this deal my stylist & I have: if it's bold, outlandish & over-the-top ... then it's just my style. Back again at Vice Versa, that certain stylist says, "J-New, I'm feeling like there's going to be a jumpsuit in here for you somehow!" So, see, you can now fully appreciate why we jumped up & down when I spied this:

Vintage at Vice Versa

For me, happiness is sorting through racks of vintage clothing and discovering a gem I cannot live without. While on a recent adventure at Vice Versa with my incredible friend & stylist, the lovely Amy Keller, we found this treasure:
