Almost 8 years ago when I first moved to Jersey City, the first thing I purchased was a 70s velvet maxi-dress from Another Man’s Treasure. I’ve always been a vintage lover, but when I first walked into AMT that day, it became more than that. When I started ChicpeaJC, I became really close with the […]
The Clearport “Wear you Fly”
I am lucky to say that I am surrounded by many talented and hardworking people. Haytham, aka Hayoner is one of those people. We’ve been friends for a while now, and he’s grown to be someone I admire very much, he is one of my closest Jersey City friends. He is my homie. Haytham is […]
The Biggest Fashion Trend of 2016: Athleisure
Last week Jersey City had its first ever Fitness Fair, organized in part by our very own ChicpeaJC, and inspiring me to talk about the biggest trend of 2016: athleisure. Having workout clothes that can easily transition from the office or a day of errands to the gym makes it possible to actually go straight […]
FAME Fashion Show
A few days ago I heard there was a fashion show going on at Saint Peter’s University, now since fashion in Jersey City is right up my alley I was holding out to hear when they were selling tickets. Well, apparently this show was not open to the public so of course being the obnoxious […]
Myrtle & Flossie
I first met Nia at a Rising Tide Capital event, where I learned more about her business Myrtle & Flossie. Nia has a wealth of knowledge and advice to offer for fashion lovers and moms on the go. I stopped by her boutique at 140 Sip Ave. in the journal square neighborhood of Jersey City to […]
NJCU Street Style
As a college student I’ve totally fallen into the trap of only wanting to wear sweats a whole semester. The days of dressing up to every class have faded, but not for everyone. I took to NJCU to find some stylish peeps who haven’t fallen into the habit of wearing sweats everywhere. I found a […]
Spring Trends
Moving to Jersey City definitely gave me something I was missing year round in Texas: seasons! As seasons change we find the need to change ourselves. Our clothes, our shoes, our social calendars and most importantly our beauty routines. Spring is the perfect time to try something new and we are already seeing some of […]
Eye Create x ChicpeaJC
I attended stylish peep Hayoner’s Eye Create, Kletband launch event a few weeks ago and he hooked me up with his whole line. As soon as I came home I tried everything on and I was obsessed, for the first time ever a full set of mens clothes fit me like a glove. I texted […]
Jase Harley
The past year, I’ve been getting many emails from local artists and musicians asking to be featured on the blog. As much as I would love to interview everyone it is virtually impossible. When Jase Harley emailed me, something inside of me said that I needed to meet him ASAP. He is also friends with […]
Grove Street Styles
When I started writing ChicpeaJC my goal was to take photos of stylish Jersey City people and interview them for my blog. Then well I guess you know what happened… I wanted to bring back the street style posts on a monthly basis. I assigned friend and talented photographer Nabil to find a few Jersey […]
Sakoyah Simmons
I met Sakoyah Simmons a few months ago at a party in Jersey City, I remember she came up to me all giddy and smiling and said “Hey Chicpea, what’s up?” and that was it, I liked her. Her smile is infectious, she is a very beautiful girl both inside and out. Sakoyah is one […]

Jersey City Street Style Inspiration
When asked where I get my fashion inspiration, nine times out of ten I will say “Street Style.” Before working as a stylist, I spent some time working as a trend forecaster. For trend forecasters, Street Style is our main form of research. Personal style is so interesting and I love seeing how others put […]

Deen Boutique
The more time I spend in India Square the more I fall in love with it. India Square is probably less than a mile long, but there is so much culture and things to do you can pretty much get lost there for a day. As part of the Navatri festival happening this month, I sought […]
Heather Rose Stachowiak
It is kind of a crazy and funny story how I met my style crush and fashion soul mate Heather. We are both fashion addicts, her being a style blogger and me a personal stylist, and we met through Instagram. Kind of creepy really, but that is the age we live in. Heather and I […]
