Matthew izzo Jewelry

Let’s talk bling. No spring ensemble is complete without some colorful jewels. Store owner and jewelry designer Matthew Izzo prides himself in having one of the biggest one-of-a-kind designer jewelry selections in all of Philly.

“Must-haves are beaded, colorful jewelry as well as our beaded 'dream bracelets.' We like to think they will bring you happy dreams,” Izzo says.

Izzo’s advice for this spring -- keep it simple and classic.

“Simple basics can go a long way. Soft T's or a simple dress with fun, large, colorful jewelry will make a huge statement of great style," says Izzo. "Classic chic always looks good. Always have clothes that feel great to the touch and fit like a glove.”

The Matthew Izzo Collection is at a very reasonable price point, so be sure to bedazzle yourself this spring.

Izzo suggests another factor that proves we may be leeching off the '90s: Both decades began under the sinister cloud of economic turmoil. He predicts the recession will keep shoppers from tapping the piggy bank to purchase frivolous garments. "People don't have a lot of money to spend on trends right now, so most of the design companies have done stuff clean and simple this year," he says.

While Izzo believes people will be clamoring for basics, neighboring boutique owner Shari Roulin of Reward offers a different take. She suggests people are going to be making investments in more costly signature items to liven up their closet. "If I only have this much to buy my spring wardrobe, I don't necessarily want to go out and get white T-shirts," she says. "I want to go out and buy this amazing dress or that killer pair of shoes." To give the impression that you're rocking a fuller wardrobe, Roulin suggests bulking up your closet with convertible, transformable pieces like a dress by Complex Geometries that transforms into a hoodie, a cardigan, a scarf and back again.

Gus Modern Jane Bi-Sectional
Not just your regular sectional, the Jane Bi-Sectional
This modern sectional has both quality and comfort. Instead of just facing
left or right, you are able to move an ottoman to the
other end of the sofa and switch the cushions around
so this sectional can used any way! Able to accomodate
multiple people,classic modern design, this sectional is a must have.

New colab for Matthew Izzo

Farah Vintage SS10

THE FARAH BRAND WAS BORN IN THE 1920s BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE 1970s IN THE UK THAT IT REACHED THE CULT STATUS IT HOLDS TODAY.

THE ORIGINAL FARAH SLACK MADE FROM HOPSACK CANVAS BECAME AN IMMEDIATE HIT WITH THE YOUTH OF BRITAIN: SLIM CUT, SHARPLY TAILORED AND FEATURING STAIN RESISTANT TECHNOLOGY, THE TROUSER WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING AVAILABLE AT THE TIME.

MOMENTUM FOR THE BRAND GREW AND IN THE 1980s FARAH BECAME A MUST HAVE LABEL AMONGST FASHION SAVVY HIPSTERS, INCLUDING THE MODS, SKINS, STICKSMEN AND ROCKER-BILLYS. SEEN ON THE BALCONIES AT GIGS ACROSS THE UK MUSIC SCENE, EACH GROUP INTERPRETED THE BRAND WITHIN THEIR OWN STYLE, BUILDING KEY FARAH ITEMS INTO WHAT BECAME THEIR DEFINITIVE LOOKS. THE CLOTHES CAME TO REPRESENT A SENSE OF ELITISM WHILE GENERATING RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO DISPLAYED THE NOW FAMOUS "FARAH F TAB".

TODAY THE FARAH LABEL STILL HOLDS THE HERITAGE AND VIGOUR IT STOOD FOR THEN. A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF MEN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ARE DRAWN TO THE BRAND'S HISTORY AND INSPIRED TO REDISCOVER THE DISTINCT LOOK FOR THEMSELVES.
