It was one of the more memorable ads from Sunday night’s Super Bowl broadcast.

Matthew Terry – with his smoldering face, chiseled abs and rock-solid physique, clad in nothing but a pair of skintight briefs – had viewers buzzing over the steamy 30-second Calvin Klein Underwear ad that aired during the third most-watched program in television history.

Unlike the flood of viewers who took to their Twitter accounts to call the Calvin Klein Concept ad and its star “sexy,” the 21-year-old has another word to describe it:

Lisa Nutter in navy blue one-shouldered gown by Philadelphia-based designer Melissa D'Agostino. D'Agostino is one of six designers in residence at the Philadelphia Incubator at Macy's.

It's hard to snag a picture of Philadelphia's first lady, Lisa Nutter. At special events she's usually decked out in a dazzling piece by Nicole Miller; her amazing locks piled high on her head. She weaves in and out of crowds like a stylish woman who has no interest in being seen.

Designer destination for the city’s most fashionable residents, Rittenhouse Square's Adresse is a treasure chest filled with high quality, functional, and timeless pieces. Stefanie Lutzo, owner of Adresse, was interviewed by Big Rube back in November on her personal style which can be found here. Between working at Adresse and attending college at Wheaton, shop employee Maddie Bailis was kind enough to model three of Lutzo’s favorite looks for spring. This season, expect to see plenty of saturated pastels, easy separates from The Row, artistic prints from Kelly Wearstler, white cross-body utility satchels, and fitted ladylike silhouettes. Providing apparel and accessories that are functional, easy to wear, and unlike anything else one might find in the Rittenhouse area, Adresse is a place for those who want to feel great about their appearance without having to dwell on the investment. Adresse’s passionate and knowledgeable staff works with each individual to find the best styles to suit one’s body and provides a personalized shopping experience unmatched in other boutiques.
