A few weeks ago, while I was working from The Warehouse Cafe… at around 8:30 am Jennifer walks in to get her morning cup a joe on her way to work. She is so CHIC! I see her as a Chanel spokesperson to be quite frank. Jennifer was dressed to the nines and after speaking with her I found out she was 6 months pregnant!! When I was 6 months pregnant I dressed like I was on “Teen mom” : maternity jeans, converse shoes, and a beater… But not Jennifer, she looked like she was on her way to a Vanity Fair luncheon. I was hesitant to go harass her to be in my post since I know I am not the friendliest person before I get my morning caffeine fix. I listened to my gut and just went up to her! Glad she was excited to be my next “Stylish Peep!: What’s your name? “Jennifer Alexis Unno” How long have you been living in Jersey City? “It’s been 4 years” What are you wearing? “I am wearing a Helmat Lang Blazer a Philip Lim top, just because its very roomy for a 6 month pregnant belly….” 6 months pregnant? you look amazing! “Thank you, it takes hours… J.Crew maternity pants that they just came out with which I am very excited about…. The sandals are Rebecca Minkoff” What about your earrings? “Dior Tribal earrings” And your sunglasses are Vintage Chanel? “Yes, I searched everywhere for them and I actually got them for ridiculously chip from someone who didn’t really appreciate them” Very jealous. What red lipstick are you rocking? “I am a big fan of red lipsticks! Thank you, its Tom Ford …. It might be smoke red” What do you do to pay the bills? “I am a hair colorist, in Manhattan at Garren” What is your favorite Jersey City hangout spot? “The Hamilton park area, simply because I find it’s alot easier to have my own picnics on the grass with the kid….” Haha. That’s funny, I call my kid “the kid” too…. “ He is kid number one now…. I like GP’s by the park, we love Marco and Pepe…. and actually I think Sky Thai is the most underrated amazing little restaurant around here. Other than that I have no social life…. I am like making out with my kid all day long!” How old is your first? “He just turned 2” I have a 21 month old! “OMG delicious” Do you do any fun activities with the kid, any classses etc? “I am so not a believer in American regimented parenting, my husband is Japanese and I’m Cuban…. I just throw him in a patch of dirt and grass and he is like the happiest kid in the world” What’s a fun fact about you? “I am the whitest cuban that’s ever lived! I am a very old soul, so I’ve lived my live thouroughly till the age of 21 and that’s when I met my husband. We’ve been together ever since and now I feel like I am a 60 year old but I am just 31”

She was my best friend all throughout elementary and high school. We were friends since 6th grade and graduated from HS in the same class. Haven’t seen you in forever, Jen-Jen! Good to see you’re doing great!
