Tanning is very Jersey and is a pivotal part of every Jersey girl, and guys look.

Did someone say shopping? The RHONJ are obsessed with fashion and love to shop till they drop! Putting together the perfect outfit is critical for the ladies as they must always look fashionable and on point. The Jersey Housewives are constantly on the hunt for hottest looks and latest trends, and they know exactly where to go to get them. And while they could all easily cross the bridge into New York City more often than not, they prefer to shop at a bevy of “tiny little boutiques” in NJ like Posche By Kim D and ENVY by MG.
