Real Estate Boner Alert: Jenna Lyons BK Brownstone for Sale

It takes a lot to get me excited about Brooklyn real estate, but if there were ever a woman to do it, it would be J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Lyons is single-handedly responsible for a complete refresh of the brand and her spectacular taste - glamorous, classic, with a slight twist - is apparent in every SINGLE room of the glorious 4 floor, 7 bedroom townhouse in Brooklyn's North Slope that's now available for sale, due to her impending divorce from artist Vincent Mazeau.

If you've got a cool $3.75 mil to spare, this would be the place to spend it, friends. Check out the full listing here, and try to contain your drool.

Bond No. 9 Brooklyn Bottle Design Competition

Bond No. 9's latest fragrance, Brooklyn, launched last month, and I'm loving the right-on-trend graffiti design. But since Brooklynites can be an opinionated bunch, Bond is inviting everyone everyone—amateurs and artists alike—to join their Brooklyn Bottle Design Competition. Simply create a design to fit within the outline of the Bond No. 9 superstar flacon and to include their circular “token” logo, any style, figurative or abstract

Inspiration can come from anywhere in Brooklyn—DUMBO, Park Slope, Flatbush, Canarsie, Midwood, Bay Ridge, et al.—or from the very idea of Brooklyn. And any medium is okay: oil, acrylic, watercolor, house paint, pastel, crayon, Magic Marker, makeup—even a ballpoint pen or pencil will do.

Completed designs should be submitted by March 31 to contactus@bondno9.com or via snail mail to:

Bond No. 9

9 Bond Street

New York, NY 10012

Two winners will be chosen in early April and in addition to winning a bottle of Brooklyn every month for a year, their designs will be put into production, with the winner’s names displayed on the bottles!

Get to the drawing board!
