MM6 Maison Martin Margiela is one of MJ’s favorite fashion houses and we couldn’t be more excited about their first US store, which opened today in our city — New York City — on Bleecker Street!

Exclusive to the new store, the brand has debuted a limited edition t-shirt and tote bag from MM6 Maison Martin Margiela (depicting the combination skyline of NYC and Paris).

Totally freaking out-of-this-world cool! Gotta get our hands on one!

The Tote Bag retails for $490.00 USD and the T Shirt retails for $145.00 USD. Go get it, fashionistas!

Summer is around the corner… and it’s going to be a HOT one!

For me, whether I am lounging in the middle of the field in Central Park or on the beach in the Hamptons, it is so important to stay refreshed. So, I got super excited when I saw that one of my favorite coffee chains had come out with a new ready-to-drink beverage, the Starbucks Refreshers™.

So what is it?

It’s real fruit juice and green coffee extract from 100% arabica beans. The company describes it as “an entirely new way to experience coffee – that tastes nothing like coffee. Its coffee unroasted.”

Innnnnnersting!

Lightly sparkling ready-to-drink Starbucks Refreshers™ beverages ($1.99) contain green coffee extract, a natural source of caffeine, and real fruit juice to create a delicious, low calorie beverage. Green coffee beans are unroasted – resulting in a mild, fresh flavor, while still retaining naturally occurring caffeine.

Starbucks Refreshers™ beverages are available in flavors including Raspberry Pomegranate, Orange Melon and Strawberry Lemonade (my personal fave!). Pick one up and try it for yourself wherever you buy groceries.

Over the last decade, Sherry Cosovic has “manned” the doors of some of NYC’s most exclusive clubs, including Butter and 1OAK.

Taking care of everyone from New York City socialites to Kim Kardashian, Sherry has seen the best of the best in fashion.

In fact, she tells MJ she has loved fashion for as long as she can remember. She is inspired by vintage clothing and has an extensive collection of clothing and accessories from the 1920s to 1980s

…and now, she wants to make it yours!

Hearts & Pieces, her first departure from nightlife, is “designed for passionate women who love a classic and timeless style.”

Sherry tells MJ: “Style isn’t always about having the hottest shoes or a designer handbag. Trends fade. You’re born with it and style is eternal.”

Clothing from Hearts & Pieces is currently available online at www.heartsandpieces.com.

I’m totally head-over-heels in love with these Converse x John Varvatos high-tops!

The limited edition leather studded kicks ($125) were sent to me courtesy of Converse — and instantly became an MJ Fave!

The best part about these shoes, in my opinion, is their versatility. You can rock them “dressed down” with a pair of shorts or “dress up” a simple black suit.

Guys don’t always get to have as much fun as girls when it comes to fashion, so these are a great pair of shoes that will really make people go “wow!”

Male celebrity fans of Converse include Justin Bieber, Zac Efron, Adrian Grenier, and “Gossip Girl” star Chace Crawford and female celeb fans include Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Nicole Richie, Jessica Alba, Mila Kunis, and Miley Cyrus.

Finding things to do when you’re in school or living in a big city isn’t the problem… But finding out which of your friends are going out tonight and what they’re doing can be a tedious task.

Meet Wendr – a free iPhone app — that makes it easy to find out what your friends are doing tonight!

Like Twitter, Wendr asks users to answer one simple question: What are you doing tonight?  With its sleek user interface, Wendr lets users set plans for the night, and see what plans their friends have made.  It saves you the frustration of contacting multiple friends to make plans, only to learn that some are staying in to study, catch up on work or are still recovering from last night.  Now with Wendr you can see which friends are “Going Out”, “Staying In” or “Open to Suggestions”.

Micah Jesse is a proud promoter of the app so we highly encourage you to give it a try!

Wendr is now available for download for free on the iPhone App Store. Find your night by downloading the app now!

With the Academy Awards coming up this Sunday (Feb 26), we’ve got movies on our mind!

Thanks to Netflix – we’re catching up on some of our most favorite Oscar-nominated films — like Tyler Perry‘s “Precious,” starring Gabourey Sidibe and Mo’Nique, and Ang Lee‘s “Brokeback Mountain,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, and the late Heath Ledger.

But don’t forget the “oldies but goodies” that are now streaming on Netflix, like “An Affair to Remember,” “Good Will Hunting,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Annie,” and more. These films will be sure to get you excited for the glitz and glamour of Movie’s Biggest Night.

And if you’re as big of a fan of Meryl Streep as MJ is — you can have a “Meryl Marathon!” Despite being one of the most critically acclaimed actors today, it has been 29 years since her last Oscar win — believe it or not!  Her current nod for “The Iron Lady” (for which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress) may change that — and makes her the most nominated actress to date with 17 total nominations. Wowza! Don’t forget to refresh your “Meryl Memory” by watching “Kramer vs Kramer” (also streaming on Netflix) for which she won her first Oscar.

And with that, MJ has got enough in his “Instant Queue” to keep him busy until Oscar Sunday! What do you have on your “must watch” movie list?

Rokbed™ Fuzion Case

Stars like Hilary Duff, Olivia Wilde, Joe Jonas, Steven Tyler, Sofia Vergara, and Jessica Simpson all have Rokform iPhone cases so I was wondering what all the fuss was about…

Well, they sent me one of my own to check out — and I can tell you that its the most durable iPhone case I have had yet — but also very fashionable! (People keep stopping me at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week to ask me who makes my case!)

Fun fact for my techie readers: Rokform was an honoree for CES 2012 Innovations Design and Engineering Award and the Rokbed v.3 was recognized as the first phone case ever to have an integrated mounting feature.

Have a tendency of dropping your phone? Rockform cases will let you do your thang — but hide the battle wounds!
