Barbara Eberlein, interior designer
Currently loving: Calderwood 2 design gallery
"What could be more fun than a fresh look at the mod/glam/fab furniture of the ‘60s and ‘70s when designers’ imaginations went wild?! RUN! NOW! to Calderwood 2 on North Broad for a real psychedelic retro-fest.”
Hilary Jay, executive director of The Design Center at Philadelphia University

Currently loving: massages at On the Spot Wellness
“I did the Broad Street Run for the first time this past Sunday and to recover I had a massage at On the Spot Wellness. The owner, Tiffany Young, is an instructor at Lithe Method and all-around fitness buff, so she’ll have my aching muscles working again in no time!”
Lauren Kozakiewicz, stylist
Currently loving: Grecian draping
“I love it on everything from t-shirts to dresses. It’s slinky, sexy, and very forgiving.”

Maureen Doron, owner of Skirt
Currently loving: Frye cowboy boots
“Yes, they are back again. Frye’s Vintage Billy boot is a reasonable $268 and is perfectly warn in chocolate brown. So cute and so comfortable, they’re chic with flirty spring dresses or beat-up jeans for spring.”
Jimmy Contreras, owner of the soon-to-open JimmyStyle
Currently loving: Art by Matthew Izzo
“Matthew Izzo is rocking my world right now with his original paintings inspired by space, water and nature. These paintings are absolutely stunning. He’s using bright and bold color against natural white canvas. I suggest you walk, cab it or whatever is easiest for you and head down to his new store location on 3rd Street in Old City and view these gems. They will inspire you and make you want to put them in your living space, office or make a perfect Mother’s Day gift! Prices range from $700 to $2,000.”
Ali McCloud, owner of Arcadia Boutique
Currently loving: Wall decals
“I’ve been loving these self-adhesive and removable surface graphics as a perfect way to add a little spring color and artistic flare to my house. They come in all colors and themes and are often done by artists so they are a quick and affordable way to add some creativity and color to any room. I’m a gal that likes to change her mind—so if I get bored with the earth toned birds I’ve been loving I can easily switch to a hot pink robot or whatever catches my eye at the moment. Some of my favorites can be found on etsy.com or at whatisblick.com."
Donna O’Brien, owner of Beautiful Blooms
Currently loving: El Camino Real
“I was absolutely beat after setting up events all weekend, so I popped into El Camino Real in Northern Liberties for their amazing taco salad with seitan and fresh lemonade.”
