80’s Working Girl Styles
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 […]

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! […]
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 […]
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 […]
Gina Piersanti
Want to know what I was doing when I was 16? so do I!! Definitely not as much as this young lady; Miss Gina Piersanti; High School student, indie actress, artist and amateur ukulele player. I heard about Gina after interviewing her father – Jersey City artist – Robert Piersanti. After seeing Gina’s room and […]
Esme
Esme is my first stylish kiddo! Ever since I started ChicpeaJC I’ve been seeing this little guy around town. His father Napoleon was actually one of my first stylish peeps; wearing a fab Hawaiian shirt that only he could pull off. It’s no wonder Esme is so stylish! with both parents running one of my favorite […]
Skater Styles
If you read my 660 Ramp post you all know I don’t know how to skate unfortunately. I look like I do though right? For months now I’ve known about the junk spot and have been wanting to go check it out. My friend and photographer Chris Capaci hooked it up; a fashion photo shoot […]
Andre Fersa
Today marks the last day of Virile week; I went from Dapper to Pin up and got to interview owner Adam and new apprentice Matt. I learned so much about their style, barbering and their love for Jersey City. Which leaves us with Andre….Andre manages the shop in Jersey City and I noticed him as soon as […]
Matthew Carroll
To work at Virile one must be dapper, it’s part of the territory. Naturally, for Virile week, I had to interview the stylish men that barber here! Matt is a newbie and just started his apprenticeship at Virile a few short weeks ago. Just by talking to him you can feel his enthusiasm and excitement […]
Virile Pinup Styles
For the Virile Barbershop interview I transformed into a dapper man… or as my friends are saying, a pre-pubescent paper boy. This shoot was fun and I was able to step out of the box and become someone else for a few hours….I drank whiskey, smoked a cigarette, got a shave… That being said, at […]
Adam Reyes
As you all know from reading my interview with Virile barbershop owner Adam, that I’ve been creeping around the shop since it opened. Every time I saw Adam, he was dressed from top to bottom in stylish fitted 1920’s style menswear… even on his day off, dressed in just jeans and a T-shirt he looked […]
Cash and Cream Styles
The problem with interviewing such fabulous local designers like Cash and Cream is I end up leaving the interviews with new clothes I probably don’t need! That being said, I am so happy with these cute outfits I got from the girls! Their stuff fits perfectly, its super edgy and sexy and I love the […]
The Big Hair Girls and a Chicpea
Once upon a time, there was a little Chicpea sitting on a bench on a beautiful summer day in a wonderful town called Jersey City. Chicpea was a young mom and she was happy as can be, but wanted to do something different; daring, something that would allow her to feel free. She closed her […]
