Sandy hit New York City and its surrounding areas hard.

While the city has done a great job getting things back up and running, and while organizations and people alike have helped volunteer and donated to aid those in need, there is still plenty to be done.

We have been donating items and helping however we can.

Greepointers organized a fundraising raffle so you can donate to the cause.

You can donate to New York Cares or get even more local and donate to the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen.

Many North Brooklyn businesses, including Market Publique have donated prizes to raise money.

So hop on over and buy a raffle ticket -  Karma may just be on your side and you can win one of the many prizes from local businesses that we love including:

- $100 Gift Certificate to Market Publique

- $100 Gift Certificate to Dalaga

- $100 Gift Certificate to Five Leaves

- $100 Gift Certificate to Paulie Gees

- A haircut at Parlour Brooklyn

- $50 Gift Certificate to Dusty Rose Vintage

- $50 Gift Certificate to Nights & Weekends

- $50 Gift Certificate to The Diamond Bar

- $50 Gift Certificate to Antoinette

And tons more - go see the full list and buy tickets here.

PAMELA CASTILLO x Style Rat Street Style from www.style-rat.com on Vimeo.

As I was headed into the city for a meeting, an adorable blogger from Runway Passport armed with a video camera stopped me and asked me if I could share my outfit for her blog. I was tempted to say that it was probably more appropriate for me to be behind the camera and interview her, but hey, I did like my outfit that day, so I happily obliged. Because now that it's sunny out, I like all my outfits! After all, anything is better than that puffy coat I had been wearing for days on end! 

Make sure to follow Style Rat on twitter and her new blog - she's sure to go far! 

What I wore:

Sunglasses, vintage YSL from Market Publique

Blouse, Zara

Skirt, vintage from Marmalade Vintage

Shoes, Christian Louboutin from Neiman Marcus

Bag, Céline Nano from Neiman Marcus

I was so excited when Breanne, the owner of Horizons (one of my favorite local vintage botiques), decided to sell online with Market Publique.

She has selected some excellent pieces for her debut, in a wide price range: From a collectible Claire McCardell Dress and a fun Lanvin two-piece outfit (coming soon!), to a sensible Japanese black coat and a cozy cashmere sweater. She also has tons of accessories to go with the clothes, like Charles Jourdan shoes and Longchamp bags.

Get ready to bid, ladies, as the prices are reasonably low! And of course, don't forget to visit her wonderful boutique in Williamsburg. She has tons more goodies there!

Anthony's feature on The Frugal Traveler, on the front page of the New York Times website.

We were so excited when we saw that Market Publique's Anthony Ina, was featured today in the New York Times. It was so nice to read all the great comments Matt Gross, author of The Frugal Traveler, had to say about Anthony and his girlfriend Catalina. They are both some of the nicest people I've ever ment, hence starting a company together.

Anthony was the lead User Experience Designer on Market Publique, so you have him to thank when you browse vintage on our site with ease. The one-page listing process? Him as well. Go Ina!

We were also proud to see he represented Market Publique well by wearing a vintage army shirt.

Market Publique got a mention in the article too!
