Christmas is approaching and it’s time for everyone to get their s*#&t together and get their holiday shopping done! Now since I celebrate Hanukkah (which is this week), I decided to do all my last minute gift shopping last week on Central Ave. I invited friend and photog Nabil to join me on my adventure. […]
Style Upgrade: Pop Singer Giselle Bellas
I first met Giselle a few months ago; we have a common friend who introduced us and thought we might be interested in working together. You may have seen CHICpeaJC’s recent article on Giselle and her amazing music, but for those who do not know, Giselle is an incredibly talented singer and songwriter and I […]
GOLOKAL Launches at the All About Downtown Street Fair
A few days ago, I got an email from Elona, a Product Manager for GOLOKAL. She invited me over to their office to by Exchange Place to meet her team and hear their story. At first, I was reluctant to be honest because as someone from a tech background I know a lot about the […]

As everyone knows, much of Jersey City is changing tremendously. There are new businesses opening all over town, especially in the downtown area.

Ali Peters- Jersey City Fashion Stylist
As some of you may know by now, fashion is a huge part of my life. So when Ali, a local fashionista and stylist approached me to work together, I was apprehensive at first. My reaction was “I don’t need a stylist, I am a stylist!”. Since Ali is one of the most stylish people […]
Jersey City Tattoo
10 months ago, I led a seemingly normal life; I was a corporate working mom living a quiet laid back life…and then I had some sort of quarter-life crisis; I decided to start a blog (that would end up changing my life), and also get two new tattoos… I heard through different locals that JC Tattoos […]

I have a hat fetish. There, you guys all know my deep dark secret now. I have a collection of hats; a shit ton of styles, from fedora’s to baseball hats, to vintage works of art, you name it I have it. Back in the day I used to hide under hats, without one I […]
Damaged Wear
The first time I saw Damaged Wear was at the Project Earth Market a few months ago when I just started ChicpeaJC. After seeing the “I F*&ing Love Jersey City” design I remember thinking to myself “How fucking cool is that T-shirt?!” and I needed to find out the backstory. Fast forward to a few […]
