Wild Thang

As with most things in life, Fashion is cyclical. Trends come and go, only to come back again. This should be no surprise to the many fashion hoarders out there. After all, what better way to shop than in your own closet? I use the term fashion hoarder loosely because in thinking about my own closet, I have to admit that I totally fit the bill.

 I am always on the lookout for timeless pieces to add to my collection but parting with any of my old…

Why I Love Philly - Restaurants - Taco Riendo

At the corner of 5th and Thompson Streets,  one block north of Girard Ave.,  lies one of my favorite BYOB restaurants in Philly: Taco Riendo. The food at this authentic and affordable Taqueria is an awesome collection of genuine Mexican recipes and dishes. In fact, the menu is written first in Spanish with the English translation underneath. I have loved every meal that I have had here and am especially fond of their cuisine this winter. Let's face it. A little taste of Mexico can't be bad…

Philadelphia Eagles Playing Franchise Tag With Michael Vick

"I want to start in 2011", it's a very short and open comment Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Kevin Kolb said in an interview following the wildcard playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Does he have wait it takes to be a starter in the NFL? He definitely believes so and it is completely within reason to think that there are organizations who might think so…

Why I Love Philly - The Mummer's Parade

 

What better way to celebrate the New Year than with Philadelphia's traditional parade down Broad Street. I'll have to admit, though I've lived in and around Philly my entire life, this was only my 2nd year attending the event (sad to say, but I usually watched on tv) but I was determined to get my son to his first parade. The weather was milder than it had been in the past few days, so this was our perfect opportunity.…

Why I Love Philly - Philabundance

This weekend when I was picking up my son from my parents, I saw the Boy Scouts delivering their Food Drive bags and sure enough when we arrived home, there was one on our door as well. The Scouting for Food Collection is just one of the ways Philabundance is working to collect and distribute food to hungry men, women and children in the Delaware Valley this year.

Though they are a year round organization, providing food to over 900,000 residents in Philadelphia and the…

Why I Love Philly - The Philadelphia Flyers

As we sat in my living room, my husband's arm went up with a shout "Yeah". "Why did you say 'Yeah' Daddy?" were the inquisitive words coming from our not quite three year old. "We scored, buddy". "Yeah" the little voice mimicked and his little arm went up. I have to be honest, I got a little choked up. You see, I have been a Flyers fan for as long as I can remember. My dad had season tickets from their second year until I got married (my husband still thinks he was jipped out of his dowry). So… Continue

Why I Love Philly - Red October

It wasn't long ago that baseball in October didn't exist in Philadelphia. This was Eagles country and the Phillies were playing golf. Now, with one of the best Phillies teams of all time, Philly fans are fully appreciative of this playoff season. Women are accessorizing with red sweaters, toddlers are sporting Utley t-shirts and 50 year old men are dressed for work in jerseys and caps. But the fact that we are all wearing our gear is no surprise. The atmosphere and excitement the Phillies have… Continue
