Fashion Trucks In Hoboken - The Mobile Trend

Ladies, a shopping event is coming up to take place at Little Town NJ in Hoboken this coming Saturday for all fashionista's to attend! Plus another on Friday!

Celebrating Their Closing With Oysters And Wine @LittetownNJ 

While at a "we craft" meetup at the Hoboken Monroe Arts center a few weeks back, I met some lovely local bloggers, and one of them is Dana Prigge of www.dailyfashionista.com a fashion and trends website.

Her site is hosting this event Saturday May 18th, 1pm to 4pm.

 Fashion trucks are all the rage now - (I love food trucks 2!) and the Nomad Mobile Fashion Boutique will be stationed outside for some shopping. Have you heard of the Nomad? It arrived in Hoboken in April and is a 20+ ft long truck with a roll up rear door that's filled clothing and jewelry all under $100, and all selected by Brooklyn resident - 24 year old Jessie Goldenberg. I love this idea and have seen other fashion trucks around like Chicrattleandroll the fashion truck combined with - you guessed it - rock and roll music! So cool

Ladies wishing to purchase a little 'to me' gift will enjoy a free mimosa. You can stick around after for what I hear is the newest "best brunch spot in Hoboken".  Plus, Dana recently reported on her sight that Albie Manzo, co-owner of Little Town NJ will be making an appearance.

And if you mention code 'fashionista' you'll receive a 15% discount from the Nomad Mobile Fashion Boutique!

Can't get enough? Chicrattleandroll, who, according to their facebook fan page is Hoboken's first mobile truck, I just discovered, is also hosting a fashion event, this one at Teak on The Hudson in Hoboken! This Friday night, May 17th, from 5-9pm the rock and roll mobile fashion truck will be there for a "glam sesh" plus DJ, drinks and appetizers for everyone!

I hope you can make either one to support these fabulous ladies doing their thang, and if you do please let them know you read about their events on my blog!! Personally I think these women rock, for thinking outside the box and bringing style on a small personalized scale - small business style. So awesome!

Have you ever stepped into a fashion truck in or out of Hoboken - do you like this mobile trend?

Anthropologie in Hoboken | Coming Soon

Anthropologie IS coming to Hoboken! It's confirmed!

I can finally say with assurance that this is true! I originally posted about the deal back in May of 2012 and was then told that the details were not official, but here it is. And yes, RE/MAX Gold Coast was the procuring broker, read the release.

Anthropologie IS coming to Hoboken soon - The commercial space on Washington St that formerly was the house of Blockbuster Video,  to be taken over by the fabulous, bohemian slash shabby chic slash vintage clothing and home accents store Anthropologie!! 

May 2012 Post:
Reports spotted!

The store offers the perfect backdrop to house such a huge store. It's over 7000 square feet and two floors.


I've read on a few boards of some residents expressing concern of having such a large name brand presence in town competing with other smaller stores. My feeling is this: anything that was going to take over such a large space had to be a large corporate company of some sort - or another bank.. I'm happy it's not another real estate office.

And, Anthropologie's style is not for every woman, it's very specific. Plus it's not cheap. Take this dress for instance. This pretty little silk number retails for $228 on their website. 

Or this beautiful long Maxi dress with lovely bright print. This one retails for $298 online.

But not all of their dresses are this expensive they have many for less, and many for more.




I personally love the store, not so much for the clothes, although I have my eye on a few pieces in their summer collection, but I absolutely love, love, their home decor accents. I love picking up little vintage door knobs and pulls, bathroom shower curtains, perfume bottles, mix and match plates and candles. Just thinking about it makes me smile!

What do you think? Are you looking forward to them opening ladies? Will you visit Anthropologie once it opens in Hoboken?
I want to know!
