El Cid

So I've come to realize that I must be la reina de gays, since they always find me. Hence how I ended up here at el Cid last night. I was looking for a bite to eat and reading the menu when the very gay host came out and encouraged me to come in. I orders the tapas (since that's what this place was about) and a drink.  The service was impeccable but the food was ok. They start you out with a snack dish of green olives and potato salad (I ordered another plate it was so good).  The actual tapas dishes were ok, but I rounded out my meal with dessert. I ordered the house special, which was bread marinaded in a wine served with Ice cream and a raspberry sauce. Cray! All in all not bad if your in the Chelsea area and want a bite. 3 out of 5 forks. 

Less Bah more Humbug (holiday shopping guide 2013)

Looking for strange and unique gifts for the holidays? Then check out some of the sites I’ve found that just might make your holidays a bit more bearable and a little less humbug. Have an addition? let me know, I’m all about quirky gifts.

1. Headliner Shirts – from wacky to weird this site covers the best of them. Doesn’t everyone want a t-shirt with Henry VIII saying “its all in the execution” plus since their made in CA, you know everything is environmentally friendly.http://www.headlineshirts.net/

2. belovedshirts.com – another great site to find ridiculous prints. Who on your list wouldn’t love a sweatshirt with a photo of a cheeseburger on it.

3. The drom store – for all things that are quirky Asian (need I say more?)

http://thelittledromstore.bigcartel.com/category/accessories

4. uncommongoods.com – I think the name kinda sums it up right? you can find almost anything and everything random on this site.

5. Etsy.com – like really…….you know there are strange things lurking there

6. stupid.com – well like the site name implies, these are the stupidest and funniest gag gifts to get anyone who can take a joke this holiday. I mean farting butt ornaments????

of course coal is always the good old fashion standby for a Christmas prank.

OOTD 12/5/13

It's such a mild winter here (for now) on the east coast, that I'm actually wearing a lightweight anorak.   Plus I needed to see how comfortable these new botas (boots) from Clarks are.

Support Small Businesses on 11/30!

So this Saturday 11/30 is small business Saturday. I just recently signed up at americanexpress.com to be a part of this great movement. This is what’s it’s all about. When you shop at these small local businesses, you support all the things that make your community great. The money you spend here, stays here. In this place you call your neighborhood. So even though my business is online, your purchase helps me put money back into my local community via groceries, supplies, to even a cup of coffee at my local café. So when you get done with the Hunger Games on Thursday into Black Friday, take a moment on Saturday to check out a small business and make a purchase to show your support.

As an added incentive I’m giving back to everyone that purchases $100 by 12/1 at my e-boutique. So not only do you get FREE shipping by now I’m also giving you $10 back as a thank you for supporting me this holiday.

You find that certain thing you were looking for, here.

So please take a moment, check out my site and maybe buy a little something for someone.

Cold crystals and pearls OOTD 11/12/13

baby its cold outside.....and what better way to stay warm than a northface?  Remember the other week when I asked about form or function?  Clearly I'm all about function, being a warm weather baby  anything under 75 is cold.  So usually I'm the person that you see in a down jacket in September lol  but who says I cant be stylish under right?  What about you?  Stay warm or look good?  Are there any viable options that are cute and warm, let me know!

Contest Time!!

Hey everyone I am running a contest with a local blogger for the below bracelet.  Go to my IG page @fashionfeednyc to read the contest rules.

Form or Function?

Well NYC fall/winter is here.  That means it's time to retire the lightweight jackets and capris and move into warmer clothes like sweaters and jackets.  Now here is a dilemma, do you wear a cute jacket that provides no protection against the elements or a bulky jacket that is designed for subzero temps?  Me personally, I'm all about the North Face.  I hate being cold and this is the best thing I've ever bought in my 10+ years in NY.  Whats your take on this?

Lunching in Clinton Hill

So Sunday I meet up with the gays and we had lunch at this great spot called Putnams Pub right on Myrtle ave in Brooklyn.  they had booths and old photographs decorating the wall.  The space was fairly spacious and relaxed.  I ordered the buttermilk pancakes, there was an order for eggs Benedict, omelette's and of course their famous buttermilk biscuits.  This was naturally all washed down with copious amounts of coffee. Our waitress was great and super patient with us as we decided what we wanted to order.  Overall the food and service was great so I would give this place 4 out of 5 forks.
