Petite Anglaise

Keys Open Doors

Van de la Plante
Sheldon was lucky enough to chance upon a vintage eye wear store called Hotel de Ville. The store itself boasted an eclectic collection of vintage frames. Antique furniture gave the store a laid back classic feel while in the center of the store two chairs and a coffee table provided clients with a casual glass of scotch and fine cigar, all while discussing their optical options.
i/denti/tee
So let's just say..your favorite lyrics magically appeared on one of your most comfortable tees. And let's say the packaging came in an innovative vinyl cover with all the bells and whistles, including but not limited to free music downloads courtesy of iTunes. No this isn't the future, just i/denti/tee. Your new go to label for the most inspiring phrases Jay-Z, Bob Marley, and U2 have serenaded us with. Yes I said serenaded.
DJ EXCEL
As The Killers once sang..We hope you enjoyed your stay It’s good to have you with us, even if it’s just for the day..thankfully we had Excel for a little longer even though as always I was last to know that Philadelphia had one of the best DJ's in this country spinning locally. SMH if you were under the same rock as me.
SECRET SOCIETY
I have FINALLY meet my match. Yeps you heard right hands are down, wit is drawn. These youngersters surprise me at every corner. New York must just have different water. For more information do the usual and follow the link above, and ALWAYS remember I before C except after SECRET.
Hustle Simmons
My favorite attributes in the entire world is being humble and creative. I scored when I was introduced to Hussle Simmons a musical littérateur, and friend of a friend. Don't you love how that just happens?
Format Boutique
Format carries lines such as Twelve Bar, Staple, Animal..oh and NIKE. DUH! But all jokes aside I am tre impressed with the layout, marketing scheme, and owners of this store. Queens must be proud.
STUSSY
You'll be kicking yourself later for not getting familiarized with this label. Not that it needs any more hype, but it's been given the Petite stamp of approval, non refundable of course.

Phil Leon
Don't you wish some one told you about Deep Sleep before you spent all your heard earned cash at H&M "throwing" together an outfit. Well I'm going to save you from making the same mistakes I did in my youth. The mecca for all things Wrath Arcane, Nooka, Steven Shein and more.
Linda Symth
The perfect accessory and defense mechanism in one, what more can a girl ask for. These conversation pieces go with every night out, first date, and post traumatic breakup. Sad but true.
tU pHAce
Awh man. Entertainer, singer, and rapper tU pHAce has broken the genre barrier with his melodic beats and soul stirring lyrics. His style not only resonates in your ears, but has the mind pumping to the same hook. I suggest the whole playlist. Start to finish.
Rah Crawford
Rah Crawford has recently collaborated with author Paul Von Sarjay, on the novel TONGUES: THE AWAKENING, producing art work for the cover and storyline. His exhibition titled I AM A MAN can also be seen at the MoCADA Museum the 25th of Sept. Brooklyn stand up.
Jaimz Deen
Hope your ready for the sound check revolution. If not, prepare yourself with a daily dosage of Jaimz Deen.
?uestlove
Every sneaker was sold out that night, but maybe if your lucky someone, somewhere has an extra one they'll sell. Once your done daydreaming check out UBIQ's page for kicks you can actually get your hands on
Anthony Henderson
Anthony is currently working on Philadelphia's Fashion Week which will be nothing less then impressive. Philly Fashion Week is the 19th, 20th, and 21st of Sept.
Bela Shehu
Bela Shehu is currently the Senior Designer for Zahra Saeed, but one can easily own a piece of her jewelry line Agony featured on Etsy.com
Robin Dutt
Robin is currently collaborating with MONOGRAPH, his books are also available on AMAZON under his given name
Chester French
Okay I'm really feeling the track "She loves Everybody" and I'm an indie junkie myself but this group steps out of the normal circle by referencing dimes and fattys in the track "People". Pure hilarity but don't take my word for it

Good girl Gone Good?

6 November 2009 (US)

One of my ex-lovers thought it would be cute to start forwarding me info from Columbia (University, I'm not allowed to date Spanish men). Some people really are RUDE don't you think. I mean yeah I'm getting a diploma? (or is it GED) from one of the least favorable art schools in our nation...but still. Anywho, today is the day of the listening party and I am all to thrilled (for it to be over). I KID. I really am proud of the kid but I think we all learned that I don't do group projects that well...I'm just saying. Ive sorta been dieting so I could fit into my unbearable short&tight outfits but I FAILED miserable, being that 1. I didn't really exercise and B) I counted glazed donuts as diet food....I guess you can say I'm on to the next one cause I really don't care if I bag any fat black men this weekend (though it would be nice) instead, I'm going to focus on not throwing any hissy fits and being a cool citizen (please don't steal that phrase). I'm really trying to turn over a new leaf..so instead of being ..whats the word. OH CONFRONTATIONAL and always ..GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THINGS. I'm gonna go sit my behind in a corner and just cooooooool doooooowwwn. Anywho, I guess I'll see everyone tonight...where I will SHOW OFF my new and improved rational...cause I'm betting that someone will find a way to IRRITATE ME TO DEATH.

TGIAF

5 November 2009 (US)

I've been all backwards lately thanks to my 6am call time....blame it on the ah ah ah ah ah alch..okay not so much..being that I have opted out of any thing remotely fun. Being a "working girl" (take that how you want) most of the day leaves no room to ride around town in my big wheel so I am essentially an old maid 5 outta 7 days....I'm not counting Wednesday when I get my weave tightened or Friday when I...well its really none of your business what I do on Friday. ANYWAY...Thank God It's ALMOST Friday..because frankly one more day in this office will kill me. I know that for a fact! Not only have my "employee" and I been arguing and throwing cunt eyes every which way (cunt's french right? I can say that here riiiiiiggghhhhttt?) oh well..so yeah I know I'm already being replaced like tomorrow especially since I was notified about it..OH WELL...I've been warning them that someone could possibly sue for sexual harassment..of course in my case it would be incest (which we don't condone or practice so I couldn't get away with it) but still I'm probably going to swipe a few pens just cause...of course they'll probably be returned the next day..cause I live with the boss and all. BUT MARK MY WORDS...revenge will be mine..even if I have to spoke the Poland Spring cooler..(don't judge). Oh PS...if anyone knows where GUNS GARCIA is..tell her to CALL ME NOW (in Ms. Cleo's voice of course).

Oh by the way...the video girl we all knew and loved from '08 is back (if it ain't broke don't fix it right) anyway..shes making a comeback Friday- Sunday so fellas get your weight up...I'm BLACK..I mean BACK (sorry about that). Anyhow...there are like 50 MILLION parties going on this week alone...AND WERE GOING TO ALL OF THEM (even though some of yall aren't invited..)..I'm just saying. Here's the first and MOST IMPORTANT ONE for this week..primarily because I'm throwing it..with this fool...and this one..and only possible with the help of him. I'm gonna try and place all the invites..BUT if your really a "cool kid" you wouldn'tneed one...I'm just saying...p.s. someone PLEASE remind me to do a livesteez for this event or else I'm gonna be to "tipsy" to remember it. THANKS!

Pussy

1 November 2009 (US)

This is probably the least appropriate topic to discuss on a Sunday afternoon...BUT..it is what it is. So as most of you know I'm regularly single..not to be confused with just a basic single where you know I hook up with some random Joe Dirt everyone once in a while (which is the past I was guilty of...once..or 10 times.) But now that I'm on the straight(ish) and narrow I have not succumbed to shiny sneakers or way-word promises. Sooooooo, whats a girl to do when nature calls (which in my case is like every weekend). We'll to cut cost and still satisfy my urges..particularly on this not so recent night (last week) I decided to employ the help of a object that if it was up to me would have a WARNING label in big BLACK LETTERS i.e PETITE THIS OBJECT SHOULD NOT BE USED INTERNALLY... leave it to me to now have some sort of "predicament" from playing doctor (by myself) at like 11pm. Long story short...I should probably just get myself together, throw in the glove (or lint brush in my case) and just finally...SETTLE(ish).

London 2008

Does one’s environment transcend into an individual dress code. Some say yes, other's no. This much heated debate is common among fashion circles where the daily task of putting on garments, accessories, and exploiting ones features, is an event in itself. Not one to judge, I leave it to the most educated fashion critiques. Enjoy.

Unless it's Brand NEW

ABAKUS TAKEOUT
Here's another sneaker hole in the wall joint that I just recently heard about...sorry I'm late but it's was definitely worth the anticipation. I like the whole "theme" of the store and website and totally "get" what their saying..oh who am I kidding anything incorporated with food has my heart..and wallet.
Club 49
This place is not only uber quant..but uber friendly..like all retail spaces in London it's also extra cosy but I guess that helps with the vibe not to mention the club's exclusivity. Ladies flirt flirt flirt with everyone at the door..men just wait in line.
El Vez
Now that I'm back in the City of Brotherly Violence, I am yearning for a Nacho Mama. A plus of eating at this Mexican theme restaurant is that amount of eats you get for what you pay. I'm a fan. Everyone I associate with is a fan. How can you go wrong.
KOKO
Ofcourse the good stuff rolls around when I'm about to leave..but no worries as KOKO offers musical treats year round. They've recently partnered up with iTunes to host a plethora..yes plethora of talents. Just recently peeped the N.E.R.D show minus Chad...j/k
LOOKBOOK
I don't usually write about other sites, considering my fear of competition, or lack of. But I couldn't hid this from my loyal readers so here it is. A little something to help you pick out the first day of school outfit or a winning your long lost love, for the night, back.
RAW
Maki fever has hit me heard and let's just say I'm in no hurry to cure it. Potentially copious amount of raw fish can be harmful, but whose worrying about that when it taste oh so good.
SILK CITY
I'm going to be honest, I don't go here to eat. Yet who has time for that when you're grinding to some heavy rotation. For those who are over the pickup club scene this hipster lounge is the place to be at. I recommend Thursday nights but then again feel free to wear your welcome out any other night.
The Gourmet Burger
Okay so this is the place I've been raving about and spending most of my time at. It's a really simple yet decandent restaurant with self-serve components that give it a less hyped up feel. The price point can't be beat in terms of what you pay for and the milshakes including the food are literally out of this world. I recommend the Avacado Bacon. Perfect for any foodie.
The Wallace Collection
When I first walked in the immediate thought was..Kimora's house is definitely bigger then this. But what The Wallace Collection features, Kimora could never get her hands on. The personal diaries of the residents and the sex calendar of a certain Queen, just to name a few items. People really lived in pure opulence back then and for a few hours you can imagine you do to.
TOPSTITCH
Okay okay I interned there, but not all interns live to tell their tell. Mine of course turned out to be life altering. A little deep but what else can I say to describe a group of ladies who helped cultivate the existence of petite anglaise. Plus their merchandise..well just ask Santagold.
