NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Little splurges

Neighborhood Watch looks for Philly’s most fashionable. This week, Diana and Kelsey chat up two ladies who have an affinity for pricey trinkets — and puppies.

Megan strikes a pose in Market Blooms

We spotted Megan (23) meandering through Reading Terminal Market toting a fab Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, which, she proudly told us, was paid for by taking on extra hours at work. “I feel much classier when I have it on," she said. The California native is a gallery director at a jewelry store in Rehoboth Beach. She often shops for clothes at J-Crew and Anthropologie, which mirrors her fashion inspirations like Reese Witherspoon and Maggie Gyllenhaal. She assures us, however,  that the West Coast is her greatest influence. This summer Megan is on the prowl for “flouncy, lacey tops, and a-symmetrical patterns.” If her current taste in fashion was a popsicle, she says she'd describe it as "mango-chocolate" because of her obsession for mustard yellow teamed with brown.

 

Jennifer stands with Jack and Roxy in Washington Square Park

We interrupted Jennifer (33) while walking her dogs in Washington Square Park. We love her off-white vador hat and monochromatic color scheme and dark, Laguna Beach-style Michael Kors sunglasses. She says she does most of her shopping online at sites like E-Dress and looks forward to wearing “long, flowing dresses” throughout the summer. “My go-to item is my vintage Hermes Mador watch” she told us with a smile. But she quickly added that her watch isn’t the most important item in her wardrobe: “[Jack and Roxy] are my best accessories," she said in reference to her two well-behaved pups. Adorbs.
