Yelp Elite Event at Mexican Post, 6/24

The inimitable Carrie E. matches her dress to her fabulous hair.

Short summer hair cuts are cool in every way.

My two favorite accesories: unique watches and free margaritas.

From a Reader: Vintage, Designer, and Home-Made Fabulousness

Describes Arielle: "Vintage shoes and fox collar, dior fedora, marc jacobs jacket, and I made the red dress myself"

We're more than impressed - although you might want to watch the puddles! We wouldn't want you to ruin those gorgeous boots!

Show some love for Love Park! Sadly, the 79-year old Robert Indiana failed to copyright his most famous work, and knockoffs are everywhere.

2. jaymacalgiano's Philly Skyline and Ben Franklin tees

If you want ethereal fabric-art testaments to Comcast's domination of the skyline or the traffic jams on the way to the shore, these are your best bets.
Also available in the meat world at Mew (906 Christian).









3. VIX Emporium's West Philly patches
The irrepressible VIX Emporium (Classicists take note, the real-world boutique is at 5009 Baltimore avenue) sells these Gocco print messenger-chic denim patches and other fabulous handmade items.
We're craving their vintage typeface rebus notecards, too.

Happy Memorial Day!
Love,
the giant squirrels of Rittenhouse Square

ps. we will eat your adorable daschund puppies like the cocktail wieners they are.

Stars of Faceadelphia's CurrentTV Shoot: Episode 6.

One of our favorite things about shooting for Current is exploring the secret nooks of Philadelphia's alleyways in search of beautiful colors and textures for background shots.

This ethereal girl said that her heart-shaped
necklace's provenance was "a secret".
In this tell-all era, a secret, even just a tiny one, is so powerful.
What secrets do you wear?

Stars of Faceadelphia's CurrentTV Shoot: Episode 5.

This charming lady was celebrating her birthday with a Japan-remixed outfit, including a bag of restyled vintage kimono fabric by designer Keinice. Manga-inspired hair? Perfect.
