Career advice from IMAN?

So leave it to Rachael Zoe to do a women in fashion series, which I love.  These are women that I admire and wish to emulate and try to incorporate their advice into my life.  The recent one is with Iman, and she was the first black super model and married to David Bowie, and I think she is a classic beauty.  In the Q&A she speaks that women should network, as we love to lift up other women.  As far as fashion goes she wants women to maintain their femininity and not hide in men's clothes.  Want to know more?  Click the link to read the full Q&A.  What is your take away?

Hey blog world I'm running a fundraiser on my boutique for Breast cancer since I know a few people that have been affected by this. 20% of the total purchase will be donated to the Susan G Komen foundation. So I ask that everyone take a moment and make a purchase and share this with your friends. All purchases over $50 by 8/20 will be entered to win $25 off their next purchase over $75. When checking out enter "Raquel" at checkout and thank you for your support.  This cancer has affected my aunt and many personal friends, I'm sure you know someone who has been affected.

Be Creative Be You

So last week I got a great email from Daily Candy about an interview they did with Miki Agrawal about starting your own business and quitting the 9-5.  Find your passion and understand what fields they translate into.  Also look at your closest friends, are they mover and shakers or unmotivated and no goals?  You become what your environment is so look and evaluate what you surround yourself with.  This really resonated with me as I recently quit my job and am looking for work.  While I am selling the great chloe+isabel jewelry (which you all should check out my boutique) its not generating a real source of income.  Most of it is that I need to spend some time walking the beat and talking to people.  But I digress, after reading this article I think its time I sit down and look at what I enjoy doing and where I want to go.  Looking to make a change yourself?  Read the article and if you have left your job let me know how that worked out for you.

❤❤ rice pudding?

Then if you do (and you live in NYC) then head over to Rice to Riches on Spring St. I wasn't in love with rice pudding till I ate here a few years ago and decided that my BF needed to experience the awesomeness of rice pudding. The charm lies in all the ridiculous saying that line the wall of the restaurant, not to mention the flavors of pudding.  I of course went with man-made marscapone which has bing cherries in it.  Delish!!! Its a fun place to check out woth friends or a date. so i give 4 out of 5 forks

The Boil

So Friday night my BF surprised me by taking me to a place that I had pointed out a couple weeks ago located on Chrystie St down on the LES.  The overall ambiance is cozy and efficient ( i mean your peeling shellfish lol) but down in woods and reds.  The table has butcher paper on it for easy clean up and they give you buckets to put the shells into.  The service was ok, I think that our waitress was getting annoyed with us, maybe its cause I was hangry lol.  To start we got the gumbo which was ok but needed some hot sauce. We ordered the crayfish and lobster bucket done in old bay (there really is no other way to eat it) and it came with baby crayfish, a lobster (whole), potatoes that were over cooked, a earn of corn and andouille sausage.  The food was coated in the old bay and I made my own dipping sauce which the waitress looked at me crazy when I asked for mayonnaise.  Overall something you should do once but having grown up on the bayou in Louisiana i know how crayfish need to be cooked and this was over done.  I would give 2.5 out of 5 forks.

A La Siagon

So on Monday I had a day job over in the financial district and came across this gem.  I was on the hunt for great Vietnamese food, specifically bun.  Its noodles served with grilled chicken, cucumbers, lettuce and peanuts and is the best thing ever.  Small place (surprise!) but tasty and fresh.  Overall 3 out of 5 forks so when in the area walk over and check it out.

Noëlz Designer Resale

So while working in DUMBO the other week i came across a great little shop located at  145 front st. Its called Noelz closet and he specializes in designer resale.  Its a consignment shop and its all about luxury brands.  There are the Christian Louboutin shoes, Prada bags, and of course possibly some of my jewelry will be featured.  The shop is located towards the back of the building and he is opening a space next to him that will do customer printed shirts (of course I have some ideas on shirts that I want).  Everything within the shop is in pristine condition and displayed in a simple presentation (so not as to distract from the awesomeness that he is selling).  So when your in the area stop in and tell him Jessica sent you.  Have designer goods you want to sell?  Call the shop at 917-624-5043 this man knows what hes dealing with and is on point.
