Weekend Market Picks July 13 & 14: Cherry Season with Samascott Orchards

I normally don’t choose any favorite anything when it comes to markets because I truly appreciate all aspects of all markets. But I will admit that high summer is my very favorite time in the farmers markets. Our farmers are harvesting the juiciest fruits, sweetest corn and plumpest tomatoes as I write. And I have been enjoying as much of their bounty as I can so I can savor the memories in the deep winter while I’m trying to peel a squash without severing a finger. Today’s p

Grand Central Holiday Fair Is Holding An Open Casting Call

Weekend Market Picks July 28-29, 2012 + The Indie Style Society

Nothing says “hot summer in the city” better than comfy, sexy cut-off shorts. These Daisy Dukes are from The Indie Style Society and Meghann Early at Artists & Fleas. Meghan takes previously loved jeans, cuts them into shorts and then shreds them strategically. She dyes them in fun colors, like these lime green ones, and washes them twice to fix the color. She adds cool detailing, like rows of studs. I understand that Meghanm can also make custom hip hotpants from your own fa
