If anyone was ever wondering what would happen if all four Sex and the City women pulled a Miranda and moved to Brooklyn, you’ll soon find out! No, it’s not a Sex and the City spinoff, and the only Sex and the City actress in it is Sarah Jessica, but you never know, it could work.

Based on the book Prospect Park West written by Amy Sohn, a new HBO series is being developed called Sex and the Stroller Set. The show follows around four different women who live in Brooklyn as they manage kids, husbands, work, and I’m sure a ton more. Each woman has her individual “role” in the crew, and sofare we’ve uncovered the freelance writer, the actress, the workaholic, and the former lesbian. Seems like quite the group!

Since I started this blog, I’ve been lucky enough to visit a lot of small boutiques, meet their owners and talk clothes and fashion. My recent trip to New York was no different. My goal was to find a really unique, small, and out of the way cool boutique and only spend money on clothing that I felt I couldn’t find anywhere except at this store and only in New York.

On my first day out, thanks to one of my oldest friends Michelle, I found the snowflake of boutiques in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn called Cozbi. As we walked in, we were greeted by the owner, Cozbi A. Cabrera.

Cabrera is a tall, statuesque, dark-skinned beauty. She was wearing one of her own creations, the “must have” dress for the summer season; made of white eyelet, under which she wore a soft cotton white slip. I was taken.

Her clothes are the ultimate in classical femininity. The designs are sexy because they are cut and tailored to fit a woman’s body perfectly. All handmade in Brooklyn. Most of her dresses are in either Jackie Onassis style or shift dresses in prints as bold as Pucci, but with a distinctly African twist.

I tried things on, and asked her to hold my favorites. I needed to think. We went back to Michelle’s apartment to check the Cozbi website. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design. She began her career making handmade collectible cloth dolls called Muñecas; dolls in Spanish. The dolls are collectors favorites and have been featured on Oprah. Her heritage is Honduran. She is the illustrator of the picture book Beauty, Her Basket which Publishers Weekly called “a quiet treasure” in a starred review.

After much debate, calls to my fashion guru Jamie, many hours of shopping/shmying around Brooklyn, the lower East side, NoLita and Soho, I ended up back where I started. I bought a dress at Cozbi. It fits like a glove. It’s one-of-a-kind. It makes me feel good to support women like Cozbi Cabrera. I wish I lived closer. My husband is probably glad that we don’t.

Born and raised in Scotland, Tilly Bloom is one designer we can’t seem to get enough of.  Grabbing her inspiration from Scottish slang and Victorian culture, Tilly at one with the whimsy created by her conversational jewelry. Now a Brooklyn native, Tilly is spreading her gifts with a collection of earrings, necklaces and broaches that turn any outfit into a work of art.  

She believes that people would be happier if everyone had special objects which seemed to speak to them alone, and gave gifts which were literally unique. You can find more Tilly Bloom on her etsy shop and website.

On September 2nd. At 6:00PM. We will be hosting a fashion show ON THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.

We’re seeking ten models to be a part of this monumental event.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s baby Apple

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ daughter Rumer

David and Victoria Beckham’s baby Brooklyn

If you thought we were over the weird baby name thing, you’re in for a sweet surprise. A New Zealand family court has ordered a 9-year-old girl to undergo a name change. Painful process..I know. The little girl named Talula Does The Hula felt close to her roots from native Hawaii until the court  had to interferre. “It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap,” says the concerned court. Thankfully someone got the idea!

baby Honor

Along with the order of the name change several names were band from the faces of innocence including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit. Sadly, the number 16, Bus Shelter and Violence are still permitted. Well, at least it’s a start.

Jason Lee’s kid Pilot Inspektor

Let’s get real, this is becoming ridiculous! With names like Pilot Inspektor and Camera, kids in the next generation are sure to be jumping off cliffs for the ultimate plunge. Someone needs to start thinking about these kids. Or at least keep them under watch. I certainly don’t know what it’s like to walk around as a fruit and I would never wish that upon anyone. When a kid grows up and asks why he’s named Brooklyn and the answer is because that’s where he was conceived, it’s a suicide waiting to happen. Come on everyone, let’s try and keep the parents away from the cocktails.

For your entertainment, here are some more awesome names: Sailor Lee, Fifi Trixibelle, Free, Audio Science, Moon Unit, Poppy Honey, Daisy Boo, Sunday and Spec Wildhorse

Has casting started for this yet?  Real World will be filmed in Brooklyn next season. That’s right folks. New York is out, Brooklyn is in. I hope they film this in Williamsburg or better yet DUMBO (that’s were we live) and hopefully they cast me, cause I own this bitch.

I know everyone will be hating on this cause hipsters suck, blah, blah, blah. But I’m just glad my borough is getting some love. I’m sure the show will focus around bloggers, cause there really is no better career in Brooklyn. Well, there is always selling rocks, but that’s way to Jay Z for my tastes.

Thank you MTV. You actually might be more relevant than I thought.
