We’ve tried them all – Neutrogena, Patricia Wexler, Garnier, Bare Minerals – all eye rollers or creams that claim they’ll de-puff and brighten your eyes. Well, we’re here to say, they might feel good but the only thing they de-puff is your wallet! However – there’s a new product that does seem to kinda work. Lately, [...]
Straight from Paree, Le Whif has landed in Dylan’s Candy Bar store and boy, it’s created quite a stir!

We could’ve sworn hot colored plastic, oversized watches were popular a couple years ago, but now the magazines and stores are trying to pull the wool over our eyes to make us think it’s a new and original trend! Look, they fooled Michelle Obama! She’s wearing a Neon Plasteramic Toy watch, so it must be in! Yeah…right. Well, if [...]
A group of Magpies got together for dinner the other night at Sala One Nine, a cozy yet trendy Spanish tapas restaurant on 19th Street between 5th and 6 Avenues.

Why aren’t there more self-serve yogurt shops in the city? The crew at Harriet Magpie consider ourselves yogurt connoisseurs.
