Guides tell us how to talk like a local, eat like a local and drink like a local. In the magazine world, September is all about fashion, so we’ve pounded the pavement (so you don’t have to) to give you the inside scoop on where to shop like a local in Philly. Whether navigating the posh fashion houses or the latest boutiques, shopping in this city can be overwhelming. Philadelphia is a city of neighborhoods and each offers its own unique retail attitude. I’ve focused on three neighborhoods that are must-visits for most travelers. Make some room in your suitcase, and get started. Can’t you hear Walnut Street calling? Build your own Philadelphia itinerary at wheretraveler.com. >> MORNING: OLD CITY Old City boasts more than historic venues and colonial sights; it also teems with locally owned stores and offbeat art galleries. Shop indie boutiques like Third Street Habit, Lost + Found, Vagabond and The Geisha House for trendy women’s clothing and accessories. The area is also rife with art galleries including LGTripp Gallery, Muse Gallery, 3rd Street Gallery and Moderne Gallery. where in the world >>MIDDAY: MIDTOWN VILLAGE After lunch, make your way to Midtown Village. Find oneof-a-kind jewelry from local and international designers at Bella Turka, handmade all-natural soaps, scrubs and soaks at Duross & Langel, stylish home accessories and children’s gear at Open House and trendy accessories and women’s clothing at Verde.

We sat down with Lhuillier at the debut of her fall 2014 collection; read on to discover what pieces she considers key for the season, her tips on packing light and what she does to quickly feel at home in a new destination. FIND MORE STYLE AT WHERETRAVELER.COM PHIWM_140900_WhereNow-PART1.indd 10 PHOTO CREDIT GOES HERE —Jennifer McKee 8/12/14 11:39:21 AM Where do you find the inspiration for your designs? I draw inspiration from a lot of different places. My favorite thing to do is travel, and when I go on these different trips, I just get so inspired, whether it’s a beautiful art piece I’m looking at, people-watching on the street or a beautiful fabric that I see. The ideas just start, and it happens. So it’s usually from traveling, but also just living. I’m drawn to beautiful things. THIS PAGE ©HL GR OUP/DAN LECCA. OPPOSITE ©HL GR OUP/LISA R OMEREIN What was the inspiration behind the fall 2014 collection? It was the mysterious side of Monique. The season is very dramatic, it has a lot of darker shades—midnight, black and metallics. It’s also sleeker. I tried to keep the collection dark and mysterious, but I also added some pops of color in the fuchsia and the lush pink. In fall I like to have the collection be a little more dramatic than romantic. I feel that women need that darker side. A lot of people know you for bridal. Are you expanding the ready-to-wear collection? I started my company 17 years ago. The first seven years, I was only doing wedding gowns. Those were a great start for me, but then I wanted to dress women throughout their lives rather than just on that special day, which is how the ready-to-wear started. Now, I want to dress her earlier in the day, so you see more separates and what I call “high day” looks in the collection. It then goes into evening and gala gowns at night. Another new thing for me is shoes; this is my second season doing shoes. What pieces or trends do you think are key for fall? I think a great lace shoe bootie is a must in the wardrobe. I also think a great cocktail dress with a great fit and a bit of shimmer is key for the STYLE LOCATOR Neiman Marcus 160 N. Gulph Road, King of Prussia, PA, 610.265.5727, www. neimanmarcus.com The fall collection from Monique Lhuillier is more mysterious than romantic and features dramatic pairings of black with pops of fuchsia and pink. wardrobe. The final component of my collection is the statement gowns—I love seeing women put that effort in and transform for that one evening and make it memorable, letting the fantasy back in. What is the most important piece or pieces to your own personal style? A great-fitting cocktail dress is a signature of mine. I feel like it’s so versatile, it takes you to so many different places. I travel a lot and know these pieces serve a great purpose. How often do you travel? Twice a month. What are your best travel tips? To over-pack is just a drag. I always say plan your wardrobe two days before you leave and style it out with the shoes, the belts, etc., so that way you’re very well-edited and it doesn’t take up a lot of space. If you’re organized, it makes traveling a breeze. What is the first thing you do when you arrive at your new destination? I like to unpack and get everything hung, and then I take a walk and see my surroundings—the neighborhood, check out what sort of things there are to do in the hotel. I like to discover immediately. How do you make a hotel room feel more like home? I bring my music with me; that makes me feel at home. I also bring a fragrance with me, whether it be a candle or an air spray, so it smells like me and my environment. If it’s a long stay, I order fresh flowers which automatically makes it feel more cozy. What are you listening to right now? I listen to a lot of Pharrell. I also listen to Coldplay. I like to dance, so I have a lot of dance mixes—I love David Guetta, Justin Timberlake. When you travel, do you like the aisle or window seat? If I travel with somebody, like my husband, I like the window seat; but if I travel alone, I like the aisle. I like to be independent and not cross over anybody and bother anybody. What’s your favorite vacation spot? Too many to mention! But I have some favorites. I love going to Venice and eating the delicious food—it’s so beautiful. I also love going to Capri and staying at the J.K.Place Hotel; it feels like your own private beach house. We also love going to Aspen, Colo., which is only a two-hour flight from Los Angeles—we’re a very big outdoors family, so we ski a lot in the winter; in the summer we like to bike and hike. But I could go on. I also love Paris. What’s one thing you can’t be without when you travel? My iPhone, because I can take pictures with it, I’m always connected—if somebody needs me, I’m very accessible. I have my music, my pictures and it just keeps me on track.

AMOROSI If you’ve arrived to the City of Brotherly Love looking for somewhere new and notable to eat, we’ve got the must-try spots to satisfy your epicurean quest. From tempting neighborhood eateries to sophisticated Center City restaurants, Philadelphia’s food scene is stronger than ever. Read on for the restaurants you should know about this fall. Mamou Petruce et al. Crow & the Pitcher The Treemont CAFE YNEZ Husband-and-wife team Jill Weber and Evan Malone spent a lot of time South of the Border before debuting this Mexico City-themed diner located in the bourgeoning Graduate Hospital/Point Breeze area. Rotisserie chicken and a variety of sides are on the dinner menu, but it’s the breakfast and brunch burritos— like the carnitas cemitas with pulled pork and oaxaca cheese—you’ll crave long past your afternoon siesta. 2025 Washington Ave., 215.278.7579, cafeynez.com THE TREEMONT Chef Chip Roman makes his Center City entrance with this dimly-lit, airy bi-level restaurant. Though the new-American menu changes seasonally, Roman’s Parisian gnocchi is a delicious constant, and his six-hour cured cobia with black rice is a sensualists’ delight. 231 S. 15th St., 267.687.2237, thetreemont.com MAMOU Mamou brings the Cajun flavors of Louisiana to Philly’s Midtown Village. Expect dishes like skillet-roasted Louisiana red fish-crawfish tomato fricassee and grilled boudin with hot pepper jelly, as well as gumbo and po’boys topped with oysters or bbq pork confit. 102 S. 13th St., 215.735.7500, mamouphilly.com COOL COCKTAILS, STYLISH SCENES Philadelphia might be known as a beer town, but make no mistake: we like our drinks stiff, our cocktails artisanal and the environment we sip them, dark and elegant Here, the places to sip in style.—A.A. Oxblood-colored leather seating and blackened windows gives The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. (112 S. 18th St., 267.467.3277) the ultimate downtownspeakeasy vibe. Plug into the scene with artisanal cocktails such as “The Mother of Invention,” made with Famous Grouse Scotch, Fernet Branca and ginger syrup. Step beyond the imposing, texturalwooded door at chef and owner Justin Bogle’s Avance (1523 Walnut St., 215.405.0700) and head to the swanky subterranean bar. The clean lines, slender silverly light fixtures and swiveling spaceage seats are the stuff of modernist’s dreams. The elegant bar is stocked for a sophisticated cocktail experience. Heavy on the subtly dramatic and dark decor with corner windows for environmental lighting, a.bar (135 S. 18th St., 215.825.7035) gives off the feeling of floating in the night sky—an apt sensation when it comes to imbibing the dreamy “Drop the Mic”, a single malt whisky with Chartreuse, Lillet Rouge and lemon. CROW & THE PITCHER Chef Alex Capasso’s Crow & the Pitcher radiates panache with its rustic Anglo-American feel. The curried almonds and white bean dip crostini aren’t your standard bar snacks. And then there are the entrees: black grouper, poached Maine lobster and pan-roasted Lancaster chicken leg confit. Absolutely order cheeses from the “cheese cave.” 267 S. 19th St., 267.687.2608, crowandthepitcher.com PETRUCE ET AL. The focus here is on wood-fired cooking. Start with sweet potato with tomatillo and queso fresco or octopus with field peas and hot sauce before ordering up the pork shoulder or the 20 oz dry-aged strip loin. Be sure to get your fill of the hearth-baked sourdough bread. 1121 Walnut St., 267.225.8232, petrucephilly.com a.bar (TOP, CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT) ©MATTHEW SATULLO; ©ROB WRIGHT; COURTESY THE TREEMONT; ©NEAL SANTOS (BOTTOM) ©JASON VARNEY SIP+SAVOR 12 W H E R E P H I L A D E L P H I A I S E P T E M B E R 2014 PHIWM_140900_WhereNow-PART2.indd 12 8/13/14 4:03:19 PM PHIWM_140900_g-shopping.indd 13 8/13/14 10:51:05 AM where the guide Joan Shepp’s new multi-level concept store on Chestnut Street Shopping High-concept, High Fashion Every Philly fashionista knows the name Joan Shepp. As one of the city’s premier fashion retailers for more than 40 years, her eye for style is iconic.

Midcentury designer Charles James is a perfect example of this. In my own designs, I try to combine the extreme styles I love with something that is more accessible to create something special. My perfect day 10 am Coffee and Croissants Grab a cup of La Colombe coffee to go, and then walk over to Miel Patisserie for a chocolate croissant. Afterwards, head to Rittenhouse Square Park to people watch before shopping Walnut and Chestnut streets. 130 S. 19th St., 215.563.0860; 204 S. 17th St., 215.731.9191 Noon Lunch on the Square Knit Wit [designer, Jacques Ferber] After graduating Drexel University with a degree in design and merchandising, Jessica Ferber joined her family’s 135-year-old fur business as a designer and marketing manager. The brand Jacques Ferber was established in Paris in 1879 before a flagship store was opened in Philadelphia in 1927. Today, her uncle Andre Jr. and her father Kenneth carry on the family lineage. We chatted with her after the recent remodeling of the Walnut Street store. 1708 Walnut St., 215.735.4173, jacquesferber.com Jacques Ferber has been part of the Rittenhouse Row shopping scene since 1927. Why the renovation? Renovating the building at 1708 Walnut St. has been something we have wanted to do for years. Suddenly everything just seemed to fall into place at the right time. The new showroom is a beautiful space, off of the hustle and bustle of the street below. It is serene and intimate, and a much nicer environment for true luxury. Wissahickon Valley Park What are the fashion trends that you are seeing for fall? Avant-garde styles in fur. While sheared furs are still extremely popular, it is such a pleasure to see trends sway back towards longer haired furs like fox and sable, as well as towards dyed and textured furs. Fur is supposed to look like fur! It is a beautiful thing. What inspires your designs? I have always been a fan of military styles and dystopian fashion. Alexander McQueen does this beautifully. I also love refined looks that require What are the must-visit attractions in Philly? Go to our museums like The National Constitution Center, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Rodin Museum and Mütter Museum. Visitors often overlook the Forbidden Drive at Wissahickon Valley Park. Pack sneakers and go for a walk. What is your dream family vacation? I would pack everyone up in a RV and drive all over the United States. I’ve traveled all over the world, but have seen little of my own country. While there are always tasty weekly additions added to the menu at Rouge, go for the Rouge Burger. It’s the best burger you’ll eat in town. 205 S. 18th St., 215.732.6622 2 pm Art in the Afternoon From Rittenhouse Square, I’d walk to Benjamin Franklin Parkway and spend some time at the Philadelphia Museum of Art before visiting the Perelman Building across the street. Afterwards, I'd head to The Barnes Foundation. It’s collection of Impressionist paintings can’t be missed. 2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, 215.763.8100; 2025 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, 215.278.7200 6 pm Dinner at Jane G’s After getting cleaned up, I’d go to Jane G’s for extremely spicy Szechuan food. 1930 Chestnut St., 215.563.8800 8 pm Football at Lincoln Financial Field At this point, I’d put on an Eagles beanie, fish a subway token out of my bag and head to Lincoln Financial Field for a Philadelphia Eagles night game. 1 Lincoln Financial Field Way, 267.570.4000 » For Jessica Ferber's full interview and itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com where ® Local Guides.

I buy a pair of killer boots every year from Head Start Shoes. Knit Wit always has great sweaters, as well as a fabulous vintage and antique jewelry.
