Fall is upon us…which is my favorite season. The combination of a nice warm sunshine and a cool breeze is perfection… that, and it’s nice not being “shvitsy” for once. I snatched this amazing one of a kind 80’s deco style dress a month ago at the 6th Borough market from a mobile vintage truck […]
Crazy & The Brains
I found out about Crazy & The Brains after my interview with Verbal Phantom and Piss Mobb. Vincent “The Owl” told me to check them out and so I did…. I went home and internet stalked them. I remember being in my living room sitting on the couch with my iMac, I pressed play on […]

Chris is the lead singer and guitarist of punk band “Crazy & The Brains” (post coming soon) who I discovered after interviewing Verbal Phantom. I went to see them playing shortly after at Union Republic and took notice of Chris’s edgy punk style; Signature sailor hat, skinny jeans, torn tank, tattoos…He is definitely a stylish peep! […]
The Culture JC App
Last weekend was a whirlwind with JC Fridays, as you’ve probably seen from my post I was everywhere. When I made it home I crashed for a few days, and as a result had to forego an awesome party at 660 Studios for the launch of The Culture JC app. I enlisted stylish peep “The […]

All About Downtown Street Fair
The countdown begins to THE biggest street fair of the year. Over 125 local vendors will be gracing our streets on September 20th. If you are a true ChicpeaJC reader you know by now that one of my favorite things to do is going to markets/street fairs/festivals. Where else can you shop for cute things, […]
Denny Wenny
I’ve been waiting to write about Denny since I started ChicpeaJC. Not only is he the poster boy of a “stylish peep”; he is also a successful fashion blogger, works at Another Man’s Treasure and actually the person who planted the idea in my head to start a blog. About 6 Months ago I came […]

Jennifer Fein
Jennifer Fein is behind some of my best AMT Vintage outfits. She has an amazing eye and always pulls great pieces for me. Whenever she is working at the store I always see her organizing, putting stuff away, vacuuming, doing some sort of incense burning etc… She is clearly extremely passionate about the shop. Jennifer […]
70’s Glam Vintage Styles
Photography by Greg Pallante Last week was all about Another Man’s Treasure; we went from the Victorian days to the 60’s, getting to know the Franz’s, and getting the scoop on the showroom and shop. There was so much to cover that I needed another full week of vintage!! A little more vintage fashions, and […]
Chicpea does JC Friday’s
Last time I covered JC Friday’s I was only about a month into blogging about Jersey City so I was pretty clueless about all the cool people and things going on. Now after 130 posts on all the awesome people that make this city so freaking cool… JC Friday’s is actually THE most stressful evening […]
Strip
It’s been a while since I posted a Hip Hop dance video so let’s take a break from the vintage fashion world and bring it back to the streets… or in this case the bedroom. Chris Brown is not my favorite person but I do really like this track, my class especially really feels this […]

Victorian Styles
Photography by Greg Pallante Can I say how lucky I am? I got to play dress up with Meika at the AMT showroom and shop and wear outfits I would never even dream of. This victorian getup is definitely my favorite! My chuckaboo (close friend) Meika and I went back in time, opened up a […]
The Franz’s
I’ve been shopping at Another Man’s Treasure for years now; and I’ve seen Meika and Warren working the shop many times and always wondered what their story was. They both look like they came on a time machine from a past era to 2014 to open a vintage shop. In the past year I’ve upped […]
Labor Day Vintage Styles

the.grey
A little over a week ago, I was tinkering on Instagram and saw an influx of “likes” from someone nicknamed the.grey. Naturally, I was curious and checked her out. “the.grey” is a really successful fashion blogger with the most incredible style. I immediately developed a girl crush. Then I found out she actually lives in […]
Au Capoeira
After my interview with Alex Tea, that same day I took Mia to check out a kids class at Au Capoeira. I knew this school existed but seeing it in person is an experience in itself! It is full of art and personality. Alex is also so great with the kids, and I am counting […]
