I was searching through the Jersey City hashtag on Instagram, looking for some stylish people that reside in our ever-evolving city. I messaged 10 people and only 1 person messaged me back. It can be a bit disappointing, but that 1 person is all I need. Meet Dileiny, a beautiful fashion influencer/entrepreneur, a Jersey City […]
Winter Look Book 2018
A few months ago I collaborated with local lady bosses, photographer Bri Johnson and Stylist Ali Peters to put together a fall look book which we shot in Lincoln Park. It was so successful that we decided to do one for every season, using mostly clothes and accessories from local shops. For the Winter Lookbook, […]
Street Style JC 2
I spotted Brandon and Will on the Path Train heading into the city one day leaving from Newport. Immediately I was taken aback by their very artistic, yet chill style ad awkwardly stared at them and listened in to their pretty cool convo on anime and fantasy shows and novels (creep). But it was Brandon’s […]
Stay Stylish on Turkey Day
Thanksgiving is the ultimate feast day for most families — and whether you go to a fancy dinner in the city or sit down by the fire for a comfortable meal in the suburbs, you still most likely have to get dressed for the occasion. If your family is anything like mine, it feels like […]

Even though it is still 80 degrees out, fall weather is right around the corner. I love summer, beaches, and pools, but fall fashion is a lot more fun to play with. Fall trends are ranging from feathered and multicolored fur jackets to plaids and folk prints. Here are a few trends I will be […]
Stylish Peep: Monica
The next stylish peep is someone who wears many hats: a jewelry designer, a blogger, and a fashionista. I interviewed/shot Monica in her home and got to know more about her style and what inspires her. I enjoy interviewing stylish peeps like Monica because I get to know more about who they are beyond the […]
Toboggan Canada
My best friend Corinne, who I grew up with in Montreal, works for an awesome winter apparel company called Toboggan Canada. Corinne is highly knowledgeable when it comes to winter gear, as she’s been in the industry forever (literally born into it). I was looking for a new winter coat and boots, and she recommended […]
Modern Looks with Vintage Pieces
If you’ve been following ChicpeaJC for a while, it’s no secret that Another Man’s Treasure is one of my favorite places to shop. I’ve been buying my clothes there ever since I moved to Jersey City eight years ago. When I started blogging, visiting the shop became something part of my weekly habits (not very […]
Makeup by Jenn Dockendorf
I met Jenn at a dinner party I threw almost two years ago and since then we’ve stayed in touch. To be honest, makeup is not my strong suit. My makeup regime consists of occasionally putting on concealer when I can’t hide my exhaustion, blush in the winter when my skin looks a little greenish […]
What To Wear To Work When It’s Really Hot
We all know summer weather makes for a miserable commute, especially if you are on the PATH or Subway. The last thing you want to do is put on your regular black skinny pants and silk blouse, but you still need to be work appropriate, and deal with the notorious office air conditioning. When getting […]
