Whatever Happens at HUSH Salon Stays at HUSH Salon

I have never been known as a Gossip Queen. Not even a Gossip Girl. I am more of a secret keeper. A locked vault. I am no name dropper! (As evidenced by the blog I wrote called Blame it on the Sangria)  So, naturally I gravitated to HUSH Salon. I mean, with  a name like "HUSH" they obviously share my private and refined sensibility when it comes to keeping things on the down low.

So, if you think I am going to share with you the names of the two people who made my hair look movie star fabulous (RUTH and NICK) then you must not know me well at all. That you even considered for one moment I'd tell you who did my shimmering highlights (RUTH) then you have another thing coming. And if you were wondering who cut and styled my hair to ultimate perfection (NICK) I will never tell! A girl has a right to her beauty secrets (RUTH and NICK).

What happens at HUSH Salon, stays at Hush Salon.

If you are wondering where HUSH Salon is located... I won't tell you. But I will say that it is a few doors down from my favorite Old City Starbucks Coffee Shop and SWEAT Gym.

And, um... you didn't hear it from me!

What’s New in Old City: There’s No Place Like a Jonathan Adler Decorated Home for the Holidays

Just in time for the holidays, a Jonathan Adler home decor and furniture store has opened in Old City, which is the Philadelphia mecca for furniture and design. We went over to check things out and we just want to say, Welcome to Third Street!

Currently, the gorgeous two-floor store is showcasing their holiday ornaments and there are plenty of giftable items among the retro-chic displays throughout the shop. If you're looking for some extra special touches (whether you're selling and will be showing this season, or just moved in and it's your first Christmas), we're sure you can find something bright and inviting here. Go visit and let us know what you think!

We also hear that Mr. Adler himself will be visiting the store on the evening of Wednesday, December 15 (hey, that's tomorrow, already) so stop by and meet JA.
