Steven Santander
I first met Steven months ago at a JC Friday themed party at the E.Tittlemouse store. As soon as I laid eyes on him, it was like a neon sign lit up on top of his head with an arrow pointing down that said “Stylish Peep”. He stood out with his tailored suit, top hat […]

Pershing Field Arch
Writing ChicpeaJC has been quite the journey! I learn something new about my home on a daily basis; Hearing people’s stories, finding new neighborhoods to explore, trying new foods has been so incredibly fun. I moved here about 5 years ago and was not fully aware of all of its “awesomeness” until I started this […]
Republic of Pigtails
Growing up my mother would force me to wear matching hats or hair accessories with all my outfits, which I hated! To get back at her, I made a point to dress more like Eminem when I was a teen… which I sort of grew out of. These days, I have a collection of beautiful […]

Yours Immortally
I am the biggest wuss when it comes to horror movies, roller coasters, clowns and most importantly, dead things. When I heard about Antoinette and her taxidermy art business I was beyond curious to hear her story. We set up a time to meet at her studio in Jersey City which is right next door […]

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 […]
Denny Wenny

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.

Jennifer […]

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 […]
