Fashionable Fridays ~ It's a Habitat

As some of you may know, once upon a time ago I worked at Anthropologie. What I loved about working with them was the fact that they curated a number of fab apparel lines, with accessories, home goods and more! But it wasn't just the fact that you were able to have so many items together but that we were able to merchandise everything so that it told a series of stories. You could literally spend a lot of time within this store and whether you enjoyed seeing the one in Philly, Rockefeller Center and more - there are always different set ups in each store which make it unique! With that said, this concept has been rolled out to the next level!

A few weeks ago, owner, Kenny Gee (former House Beautiful Magazine Editor) launched his much anticipated store called The Habitat Shop which is located in Chelsea and is 3000 sq ft with home decor, furnishings, lighting, apparel, jewelry, pet supplies and apparel for women and children. With weekly shipments, there is always something that you'll find that may not have been there before! Now many of you know that I adore wearing Eva Varro and have asked where you can get it, Kenny has a great eye for detail and has a number of fab pieces from one of my fave designers! It's always fun to support a local independent shop and I'm sure Kenny would love to meet you. Above are Slide images of this boutique.

Fashionable Fridays: The S Factor

I am so excited that tomorrow I will be attending an open house for the S Factor! This is the infamous pole dancing classes which not allow you to feel great about yourself but that you also can look great as well. I have been thinking about taking this class for awhile in Chelsea; however, I was completely motivated when I realized that a friend of mine was participating with her cookies! For those of you that will be at tomorrow's S Factor, you will also enjoy Tasty Morsels Bakery which has cookies that look like little pieces of art! I am so excited for her and hope that others will love them as well!  Hopefully I will see you tomorrow at the S Factor at 235 West 23rd St NY, NY!

Mingling Mondays ~ NYC Get Your Pedicure

When I get my weekly mani's and my bi-weekly pedi's, there is only one place that I run to (I simply refuse to go anywhere else)! Dashing Diva has multiple locations all over New York City and they are definitely my sanctuary when I need a little time out! I love their pink colors, plenty of colors, fun events and so much more. I do enjoy going on Fri's to get my pedicure and manicures with a nice cosmo (I was also a huge fan of their wine pedicure as well) Recently, Kitten Lounge attended Dashing Diva's event which had the cast of Legally Blond the Musical in attendance doing a Bend and Snap competition. The pictures included below are courtesy of Sarah Conley which you can see more of her coverage on Style It! This location which was off of Union Square is my favorite one to go to! It was really cute to see the cast members together and to see the winners of the Bend and Snap competition!

Dashing Diva definitely loves the Kitten Lounge and its readers and is providing 3 Elle of a Pedicures (fit for Ms Elle Woods herself) which we will be giving away on this site on Fri the Fourth of July at noon! Getting a complimentary pedicure at the 3rd Avenue location (149 3rd Ave btwn 15th/16th) is definitely an amazing treat and a great way to enjoy the summer as well. To be one of the three winners, simply tell me your favorite pedicure shade (regardless of brand) as many of us go a little daring on our toes when it's the summer! All entrants must have access to NYC as it is valid here and all entries must be included as comments within this post. With so many shades, you're bound to find a favorite - my favorite "Chelsea in the Buff" or Vanilla -Rama (when it comes to mani's) and anything deep and vixen like when it comes to my pedi's.

Sippin' Saturdays ~ Add This Sweet Touch With Your Glass of Soy or Organic

BbOn the day of the DVF shoot, I decided to walk. Why I did this on a day that was a little chilly and still a little rainy - I don't know. But I have to say that I enjoyed walking down 5th Ave to see everything that was around. By the time I got closer to the Meat Packing District, I noticed this super cute bakery known as Billy's Bakery. Right now I am in a bit of a cupcake battle. I have to say that I am a Buttercup Cupcake girl and my sister is in love with Magnolia Bakery; however, I am always interested in trying something new. The inviting look of this yummie bakery definitely made me think of stopping by on a day when it wasn't busy. I love the mint green bench and how everything is in a light yellow trim that reminds you of something to be found on a cupcake!

Bb2 Although I didn't go in, there were tons of people in this cute little shop that definitely made me think that this was the place for me to try and perfect to bring your best friend or sig other! After visiting the site, I loved seeing that you could buy cute merchandise and read up on a lot of press as well. As the weather gets better, start taking some trips around the city and make Billy's Bakery apart of your travels. Whether you love cupcakes, Key Lime pies or more this is the perfect way to pair up your Soy or Organic Milk with something extra tasty I also love that they run some late hours as well which is perfect for a late night sugar urge.
