As part of LGBT week I wanted to interview diverse individuals who can represent the community here in Jersey City. A friend of mine put me in touch with Aisling to be my stylish peep for this week! We met around grove path to do her mini photoshoot, and she is gorgeous!! Tall, beautiful skin, […]
Beth & Cat
I’ve known Cat and Beth aka Lovey and Bubbala for quite some time now. What always struck me when I saw them was how in tune they were with each other. They are just the most amazing people, individually and together. When I met with Eddie to brainstorm ideas for pride week, I immediately mentioned […]
Gayborhood
A few months ago, Eddie from Gayborhood tweeted at me to tell me how much he loved my Virile themed week. After looking into Gayborhood, and seeing all the amazing things Eddie has been involved in, I reached out and pitched the idea of doing an LGBT Pride theme week on Chicpeajc. We met at […]
BBBS Bowling Event
Wow, so many great events for so many great causes this weekend! If there was a time to have cloned myself, this would have been it. Glad I was able to share with so many. Let’s start with one that many may not have been aware of… STRIKE!!! That’s how my outing for Big […]
Jersey City Art & Studio Tour
One word. Woah. What a weekend!! A few days ago as I was planning my itinerary, I knew there was no chance I was going to be able to hit up over 100 spots in 2 days, as well as work on my posts for LGBT pride week… oh and also handle my wifey/mommy duties. […]

Jersey City Film & Television Opening Night
Last night was the opening party of the Jersey City Film & Television Festival at Parlay Studios. When Michael Billy one of the founders of the JCITFF invited me to join the festivities I was stoked! on top of that I got my first EVER press pass. It’s official! The party was filled with so […]
Baruti Libre
There is nothing I love more than meeting new and inspiring people who have unique style. Baruti is just that, a really good human being with an amazing fashion sense. We connected over social media and set up a time to meet as soon as we both could. We met at Tea NJ for some […]
Bone-In
I’m a vegetarian….well I used to be before this interview… Prior to embarking on this journey called ChicpeaJC, I swore off all meat, at some point my diet was even vegan! I stopped eating meat for health reasons, I just did not like the way it made me feel. Ronald and Virginia, owners and taste […]
Hispanic Heritage Celebration
Last Friday I asked my new friend and girl boss of Allure Events Consultants , Marelyn to help me cover the Celebration of Hispanic Heritage at City Hall. You guys want to know what I was doing instead? I was on my couch, half passed out. Thanks Marelyn for giving me the night off!! It’s […]
Faded Royalty
I’ve always been a hat collector but now that I am no longer working in the corporate world, I can essentially wear whatever the f-k I want so my collection has since quadrupled. Faded Royalty is a Jersey City born and bred brand that I discovered at Metro Capz at a recent interview. I was extremely […]
Fabian Roman
I go to baseball games for the beer, peanuts, the chance to heckle at random strangers and wear cute sporty outfits, but that’s as far as it goes! As I write this I am sitting on the couch watching the second game of the ALCS (Royals v. Baltimore – my husband told me!), but secretly wondering […]
Montreal Stylish Peeps
As some of you may know now after my “Big Hair Girls go Corporate Post” that I moved to the New York area from Montreal, Canada. I was pretty much born and raised there with a 6 year stint in Tel Aviv. Last weekend I hopped in a car with my girl Kyra for a […]
modcup
Coffee. Oh how I love thee. I was first introduced to modcup at one of the Jersey City Street Fairs and I was in love. I normally dump half a LB of Splenda or sugar in my coffee to mask the bitterness but not with modcup; the coffee has this natural sweetness that I was able to […]
Jersey City Playboy Bunny
I am not even sure why I am bothering with an intro for this post… I always wondered what kind of people actually read the articles in Playboy magazines since it’s hard to focus with such beautiful women gracing the pages. That being said, Rachael is special; She is smart, down to earth and hilarious […]
The Big Hair Girls go Corporate
Photography by Greg Pallante Anytime I meet someone new, they always ask me how ChicpeaJC started and where the hell I came from…. Even though I moved to Jersey City over 5 years ago, I came out of nowhere. I was never really out and about in the “Jersey City” scene and then suddenly I […]
Bobby Black
I hope my parents won’t read this post! While interviewing Dennis from Damaged Wear he told me about Bobby Black, the senior editor of High Times Magazine who lives with his wife, April, in the Heights. As soon as I heard about Bobby I saw a cloud of smoke in the air with my blog post title “High Times in […]
Tribeca Grain
One day, out of the blue I get a phone call from John Gondevas boss man of The Hamilton Inn. Lynn “Hello?” John “I have a story for you….about my friend Joe Wood” Lynn “Cool!! A Jersey City porn star?!” Ok… so Joe Wood is not a porn star, he is actually the owner of […]
Brook Trashed by Time
Brook and I met through the wonderful world of Instagram. Brooke has a really unique style and she also is very involved in the fashion world, she is a designer and also has her own Vintage Etsy shop! For weeks we tried to coordinate our schedules to meet and ended up actually meeting in NYC […]
