Cheap Chic Swimsuits at H&M for only $4.95!
When it comes to swimsuits, it's good to have a few options. And at only $4.95 per piece, H&M is the place to pick up an extra suit ... or two.
So run, don't walk to an H&M near you to pick up a cheap chic swimsuit.
The Summer 2012 swimwear styles are admittedly not for the modest or full-figured gal, but they come in fun, colorful Hawaiian, floral and paisley prints, and a mix of bright, block colors like hot pink and acid green. For more conservative classic ladies like myself, there are also neutral black and metallic shades, and I picked out a padded, bra-reminiscent top and string bikini bottoms in black.
From $12.95, H&M also has sexy halter neck swimsuits, feminine strapless one-pieces and scuba-inspired one-piece suits for a sporty feel. And to make your vacation look complete, the stores are stocked with stylish kimono and wrap cover-ups, as well as funky accessories and sunglasses.

New Brooklyn Vegan Restaurant, Maimonide of Brooklyn
Gourmet vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free restaurants are scarce, even in New York City where healthy cuisine is often relegated to crunchy cafes and take-out buffets. So Maimonide of Brooklyn (525 Atlantic Avenue), is a welcome addition to downtown Brooklyn's food scene.
Called M.O.B. for short, the hip eatery with a live DJ, communal tables, vintage light fixtures, wall art featuring fruits and vegetables used in the menu and poetry by local scribes is the brainchild of Cyril Aouizerate. The cuisine -- affectionately known as avant-garde vegetarian food for carnivores -- is an inviting and as eclectic as the light-filled space. Dishes include hearty veggie burgers with kickass homemade ketchup, dried fruit saucissons, vegan chicken nuggets, and open-faced sandwiches that are topped with wholesome ingredients called MOBs.

Aouizerate, the co-founder of Urbantech and Mama Shelter in France, has combined his love for urban planning, architecture and philosophy in the creative process behind M.O.B. Legendary French chef, Alain Senderens, contributed to the menu with Executive Chef Neal Harden, formerly of Pure Food & Wine.
M.O.B’s design is an homage to '90s hip-hop culture (Afrika Bambaataa was a special guest at the opening party and t-shirts for sale feature the Notorious B.I.G. and She's Gotta Have It-era Spike Lee), Brooklyn and the healthy-living beliefs of the famous Jewish philosopher Maimonides. The arches of the Brooklyn Bridge lend their shape to the doorways and the MOB sandwiches.
Soon the restaurant will expand to include poetry readings, live music and dancing.

Spring is in the air, so it's time to shake off the winter doldrums. While sorting through your warmer weather threads you quickly realize that your spring wardrobe needs a little pick-me-up.

The Spring Indulgence Chic Boutique Tour will begin with a Pink Carpet Social at 11a.m. at Redefined Home, 887 Howell Mill Road, suite 200, Atlanta GA 30318. Guests are escorted to the pink carpet where fashion photographers await their arrival.
“It’s so much fun, very paparazzi style,” offers Rosalynn Wilson, CEO and Founder. “As they exit the carpet, they’re served their first cocktail of the day."
Typically the tour visits 4-5 boutiques and guests are constantly catered to while on board. "I've spent all winter exploring the boutiques in the city and can't wait to introduce our guests to some very new boutiques in the Atlanta Metro area. For the Spring Indulgence Tour, we're taking guests to London loves MarLo, Pink Sky Boutique, Bombay Gal Butik, Happy Feet Boutique, and Bouchic Boutique."
Chic Boutique Tour guests will receive discounts on their fashion finds from participating boutiques.
