Talk about chic dining, I joined some of Philadelphia’s most
fashionable bloggers for dinner with Swarovski in the private dining room at Le
Méridien
Philadelphia’s Amuse brasserie. Even the menus and place cards were
Swarovski-adorned, like this one I photographed with their New York bangles.
I met Kerrie McLellan, Director of Marketing, Swarovski. As you can
see, she sparkles just like the brand, as did Daneen Bair (pictured here), the
blogger behind Spoiled Pretty.
Also in attendance were
Jessie Holeva from Trend Hungry and Natalia Galvis
from Fashion of Philly.

As well as Jade Barnes from
Style Wallflower, who mentioned that her mother is also a big Swarovski fan.

around Philadelphia and South Jersey.

And made a big announcement.
The jewelry company has partnered with Le Méridien Philadelphia and created “The Getaway,”
an exclusive high-end cocktail served in a custom-crystalized Swarovski martini
glass with a $1000 price tag benefiting the Philadelphia charity of the
imbiber’s choice.

The
fashionable pair that “get caught” enjoying this libation will leave with a set
of these glasses and two pieces of sparkling Swarovski jewelry (including a
handsome pair of men’s cufflinks). Proceeds from the cocktail will be donated
to the Philadelphia charity of their choice.

It
was a lovely evening and I am particularly excited about the charitable
component to the $1000 cocktail. It’s a sparkling way to give to a local
charity before the year ends. Read more about the $1000 cocktail in Michael Klein’s column here.

Great fashion at an affordable price can be bought at the Career Wardrobe
I love how the Career Wardrob
The career wardrobe had something I haven’t seen anyone else do
they had a sheet with all the outfits on it in order of appearance
listing what the person was wearing
how much it was
including the total cost of the entire ensemble
I wish everyone would do that for their fashion shows.

During the lunch, Guest Speaker Jen Groover told the tea tottelers- say something positive every day about yourself, work towards positive goals and surround yourself with people that will allow you to achieve your goals
Joy Zhou, Summi Traong, Cathy Waugh, Katie Palitto and Megan Duffy. Lots going on at the Career Wardrobe during the holidays. Sales, specials and they’re always there for you to drop off a donation at 18th and Spring Garden Streets.
See those posts near the fountain on the Art Museum Steps, they should put a set near the top of the steps to prevent cars from slipping down the steps, as well as the future dare devils who want to travel down the steps. They’re good to sit on too. This was the car used in the new movie Franny with Richard Gere. ALSO Check out @MariaRPapadakis & her beau @ChrisKonopka at the 2013 Marian Anderson Awards last nite http://www.phillymag.com/the-scene/2013/11/20/2013-marian-anderson-award-given-berry-gordy-kimmel-center/#.UozznUluZ7M.twitter
Monday was a banner day for HughE Dillon LLC. First I was on B101 chatting about Kim & Kanye, then I made an appearance on Fox 29’s Good Day Philadelphia with Mike Jerrick and Shenielle Jones. I had 4 different columns in Philly.com, PhillyMag, PhillyChitChat.com and Liberty City Press. So crazy, and so little sleep Sunday night. But it was definitely a career highlight day for me. Thanks.

You never know who you may catch at a Swarovski boutique. This week
I caught Comcast SportsNet and Philly.com correspondent, Maria Papadakis,
popping into the Swarovski store at the Cherry Hill Mall.

In fact, while she certainly
looked fab on the way in to the boutique, she absolutely dazzled as she exited.

Wild new “Mob Wives” star Philly’s own Alicia DiMichele is already in hot water
with the feds, but a source claims she’s about to be in even deeper
trouble with her husband, jailed Colombo family associate Edward “Tall
Guy” Garofalo Jr.
Natalie Merlino (Joey’s sister) and Alicia DiMichele at the Grand Opening of Addiction Boutique at East Passyunk on June 20, 2013
A well-connected source tells Page Six: “Alicia is being portrayed
[on the show] as the loving, concerned mob wife of her incarcerated
husband. But our source suspects otherwise, claiming that, “Alicia has been having an affair
with a Philadelphia restaurateur who’s a convicted felon, and it has
become common knowledge among their circle of friends. [The restaurant
owner’s] wife even seems to tolerate them as a couple.
Was it someone at her store opening which I photographed for Philly.com back in June?

OMG FOODIES WE HAVE A MYSTERY ON OUR HANDS, who is it? It shouldn’t be too hard to pin down. Can’t be Neil Stein, he’s a tad to old for her and well he’s dating someone in my condo building. Who is it then?

I recently learned that the long talked about Mac’s Tavern on the west side of Broad Street, is not going to happen at 1904 Chestnut Street after all. Seems Little Pete, who owns the property, has sold the spot to Pearl Properties.
If you’re not familiar with Pearl Properties, you should be; they are the preeminent developers of such great apartment buildings of late as The Sansom, and one I recently covered The Granary, which
they have since sold at a decent profit.
When I heard the Little Pete’s property was sold, and verified it with Little Pete (he runs an eatery in my condo building), a lightbulb went off. Hey Pearl Properties owns the vacant lot next to the Little Pete’s property. I remember years ago when 1904 was Pearl, the Stein brothers wanted to buy it to expand on their popular nightclub, but Pearl Properties wouldn’t sell it. Anyway …
I checked with a few people, and sure enough Pearl Properties bought the recently closed Dollar Store (the sale was recorded at the end of October); now I hear the building that houses the Qdoba is also under contract. I’m excited to see what happens next with this parcel of land, which is a few blocks away from the tony Rittenhouse Square; I’m sure it will be a first class, amenities filled apartment building no doubt, especially if you’ve seen their other projects. It’s great to see the City is making a huge comeback with so many new living spaces being developed, and it’s exciting to see a Chestnut Street revival. Now if only the plans for the Boyd Theater could be executed (see Michael Klein’s column), which is the building on the other side of the empty property to the right near the tree.
Thanks to my tipster who texted me Saturday morning to tell me about Kanye and Kim eating at Wendy’s 15th and Chestnut Streets late Friday night, I was the first news organization to get the word out.
This shot was taken by boogasuga Friday night as Kanye was chowing and Kim was texting, cause she’s on the Atkins Diet and there’s really nothing at Wendy’s for her, PLUS seriously she was probably texting Reggie Bush “This fool took me to Wendy’s and not Del Frisco’s across the street!!”, please take me back and get rid of that ho look a like!!
Then Saturday night a friend texted me to tell me Kimye were at Serafina having dinner, but I couldnt get away as I was with Mike enjoying The Attic’s 20th Anniversary Gala at Crystal Tea Room. (which I’ll write about later in the week, and talk about on Good Day Philly today at 937AM)
I was the first to let you know about their dinner in Philly Saturday night when I tweeted the above. (note the tweet before mine was dated 7/15 when Kimye hit up the NYC Serafina.)
On the menu:
A source said Kim “ordered for herself, and had the truffle pizza and chardonnay. Kanye had the rigatoni bolognese.” Then an hour later the dude was on stage at the Wells Fargo Center working it off!!
Then the duo flew out of Philly, with Khloe, on their private jet to Boston.
There’s a story about what Kim & Kanye were wearing The Daily Mail today here.
