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

Thanks and Goodbye
28 February 2009 (US)
I'm writing this on my crackberry (which has been on life support for the past 3 months) as I'm dragged to Bloomies and no, I didn't get any love from sugadaddy, but I'm home at my parents house milking this poor college kid act in the mean time. Just in time for my fiesta which I had to beg my birthmother to attend, its funny she can make it for everyone else's christening,movie premiere, and bar mitvahs but can't seem to clear her schedule because of "work obligations." She then attempted to make me feel guilty, which is a feat in itself, by going on about how bad she feels that I NEVER have money. Violin's should really follow her around. Thankfully, she finished her weekly good deed and bought me the Vivianne Westwood inspired piece, and matching jewels to match. Now for the hair which Phil habitually reminds me is falling out. Not that I'm stressed or anything like that...but alas I'm heading back to the city where it all started..no not New York, the other one with the high crime rates, horrid educational system, and my various jumpoffs. Whom as you may have already heard is getting the ax..most likely tomorrow. I'm choosing sooner rather then later to my maturity level heightening after only a couple of hours of just turning 21 and the fact that my cellphone bill is still not paid. Just trying to get my priorities in check. So I guess Sunday will also include a farewell dinner to the best non boyfriend I've never had. As for everyone else...I recommend you stay tuned.

Reservations
26 February 2009 (US)
Guess what..no really guess what. Okay i'll give you two clues MAX. 1, it has to do with a boy, and 2 I haven't shagged him, YET. Which is ironic because I was trying..to shag him that is, but the fact that I wasn't exactly head over heels always kinda through the wrench in anything going further. But lo and behold why did I get the most delightful phone call from you saidboi asking if we could shag. Literally that was what the phone call was about, which as morbid as it sounds did not phase me in any way. Don't get me wrong I am most definitely not that type of girl, but when your one in a while eye candy propositions you one can't immediately say no. So i did the sensible thing and told him I'd have my answer by Sunday. Needless to say I'm a bit on a roll, because a few hours later youknowwhomIkindastillloathe called me out of the blue asking for his own shag session. To be honest I'm a bit flattered by all this hoopla, where most girls consider such questions a tad bit indecent, I find it a bit humorous. I was just sitting down with my girls musing on about having a willing and able belly warmer during the summer months, but with all these options life is now a beach chair. Oh and for my white boy, I don't think it's going to work, of course I didn't tell him yet, being that I still need to eat..but he's going to be getting the boot in in a week or two. I can't say I won't miss him, he was the kindest man I've never been with. Sadly that's what made hurt "us" in the end. Nice guys always finish last. ALWAYS.

Breath Easy
23 February 2009 (US)
I had a pop bottles kind of evening last night and I can only thank Bela for ending my weekend with a BANG...or a yum. Either way you look at it this week turned out to be quiet pleasant. Even though I didn't work at the office like I promised my parents decided to not give me the wonk eye and even donated some groceries to my friends (Phil) and a little pocket change. I made it back just in time for out amazing fashion show at F.U.E.L and then an Oscar worthy dinner with Bela to settle the deal. I couldn't have asked for more..well yeah I could 9 you already know) my only request is that I keep on surrounding myself with good clean fun. No DRAMA, no babymammas, and definitely no BOYS/MEN. I don't even think I could deal with all that right now. I'm in this untouchable stage where I seem to be gliding through life on a natural high. Everything feels so right, and even with the world obviously crashing around me, I have this sick grimace on my face that I'm sure will last till Thursday. Thanks girls.

Encore Please
21 February 2009 (US)
I'm still recuperating from last night so please..breathing space. After crossing the transNewJersey to get back to the city on time I still feel like I'm stuck in last week. As for the fashion sh ow. WE DID IT. But before I go anymore into detail can we get some golf claps for Emily who made the most body luscious tights for me. Breath easy you can get yourself a pair..if your REALLY GOOD. I myself seemed to have wishedd on the right star being that my tights were my a gift..being broke never looked so good. I also want to thank a certain intern who will remain anonymous (Shavonna) for ruining my surprise for the Topstitch crew..but alas the girl always find a way to win a place back in my heart..thanks for doing my grunt work love. Any who the show was a success, everyone looked SPECTACULAR and K didn't fall on the runway. Golf claps for EVERYONE...and you know I had to prolong my high with an after party at my new favorite spot...which were going to keep a secret for now. More pics of the night to your right.

Come on..

Oui
I'm low on cash and love and only alternative is to head back to my birthmother's house. Golf claps...not that I don't miss them, I'm just sick of my solution to every problem is to run back home. I guess that's why I'm unable to sleep. Please highten the volume on my personal violin since this is a true sob story. I feel as though I am in a rut,an unforgiving cycle where nothing has changed. My unfavorible decision are now masked with some kind of hazy doubt. I'm growing hysterical and no amount of cough syrup can be to blame. I am a true basketcase. My whole attitude changes in the late evening and even with Vanache over attempting to make hearts for this weeks fashion show I was still unable to put aside my fear. I'm never this needy but even with friends sleeping over I feel as though my room is still vacant. Am I on drugs..do I need to go on drugs? What is it! I got through Valentines Day, without a care in the world. I have friends and jumpoffs to amuse me, and a never ending supply of prayers, but I am still in need of some terrible mystery that only comes at the dead of night.

Bad Blood
16 February 2009 (US)
Who ever is playing with my voodoo doll have some mercy PHULEEASSE. I have just one week till my festivities and I am battling the Red Monster and a Flu, you have to be kidding. A las I was not going to say anything but I am running away for a week..taking a holiday as they say and refocusing yet again. I'm so wishy washy I don't bother washing my clothes they are permanently clean from all the "cycles" I go through. But here I am again not in the right state of mind, thinking of leaving it all for the birds and chasing the irrelevant one night stand. For some reason stupid text messages always ruin my day..which leads into a week..and then grows into a lifetime. Voice mails are even worse when instead of deleting them I click 9. Permanently stashing them away when I need to torment myself. Don't pity me, I don't deserve it and as my eternal love Mark Ronson quips..."you do it to yourself," I do. Why must I let something or someone make me feel as though nothing is important, not school, not family, not this nor that. For someone who has no regrets..ABSOLUTELY NONE, I feel as though I messed up somewhere. Why else would something not dead, no very much alive, continues to haunt me. This time around I can't change my number, I've become a nuisance with that trick, and I can't forbid anyone to speakto theonewhomcannotbementioned, due to lack of reasoning. However, my sanity is at stake and a solution must be presented or watch your precious Petite Anglaise demise due to some very very BAD BLOOD (or man).

- 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.
