The Worst Room
We’ve all heard the stories that it costs an arm and a leg to live in New York City, but that’s just an expression. Until now or at least if you knew someone that lived over there, here are a series of photographs of crappy apartments in the city and what they cost. This prized room above with intricate tiles? $500 in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.

Menswear Dog
I know…right?
Is this not the best thing to improve your Thursday and make it 10x better?!
Menswear Dog is who I want to be my next best friend. He’s a three-year-old Shiba Inu living in NYC and he’s got more style and swag than any other pet I’ve ever seen.
His Tumblr page is still pretty fresh, but his popularity is growing by the second. Boo, there’s a new dog in town now.

Taxi’s New Look
The top Taxi is the look that will be coming out in New York City. Look, how sleek and minimalistic it is! The new Taxi cabs will now only say NYC T and that should clearly be enough to indicate that they are indeed the taxi cab that patrons are looking for. I can’t wait for more things in our lives to become more minimal and less clear to others. At least, they look good while doing it.

H&M Prepares for NYC Domination
The Swedish retailer announced just this morning that they would be opening a store in New York City as large as a football field. It’s difficult to even fathom any store at this size, but when it’s H&M, then what else can you expect from the growing retailer? H&M will make a new home out of their Fifth Avenue and 48th Street location and will encompass 57,000 square feet and six levels. This store will be the only one ever to carry every single one of their collections including:
…men’s and women’s sportswear and ready-to-wear, lingerie, underwear, accessories, children’s wear, newborn apparel, special sizes, maternity apparel, cosmetics and the home collection.

If I Could Have Any Super Power…
The response that I have heard from most is usually flying. Have any of you seen the trailer for Chronicle yet? Kevin introduced it to me a couple of months ago, but now the marketing team for the film has released a new promo video in which they have built three RC planes that look like humans. They then flew them all over New York City!

NYC Day to Night in One Frame
Photographer Stephen Wilkes spent over ten hours taking 100+ shots in New York City in order to capture these images that feature both daytime and nighttime in one single shot. His collection, “Day to Night,” is a depiction of New York’s city life. Using almost 30-50 images that have been blended together, Day to Night highlights some of New York’s popular spots. The series will be on display at Chelsea’s Clamp Art Gallery starting from September 8 thru October 29.
Skirt Wearing Bike Riders
While I may not always agree on whether or not an outfit is appropriate enough for certain events and/or occasions, I still firmly stand by the fact that clothing choice is a form of expression and art. I was surprised to read from one of my favorite blogs “A Cup of Jo” that a Danish tourist [pictured above] was actually pulled over by a cop in New York City because she was wearing a skirt while riding her bicycle. Apparently, the cop believed that this was distracting to other drivers and then proceeded to ask her for her ID. While I’ve never actually been to New York City myself, I’m pretty sure that there are plenty of other things going on that would be more distracting to drivers.
After word got out about the incident, a protest was organized and both men and women took to the streets on their bikes yesterday evening in skirts and dresses.
Personally, I think it is adorable and absolutely darling when I see women riding bicycles in skirts or dresses. It’s something that I’ve seen quite a few times on Capitol Hill and I can’t imagine it being distracting at all. If anything, it makes me want to do it myself!
