Freshman sociology major Steve Spangler caught my eye in a stairwell. He was walking down, I was walking up, and even before I saw him, I saw his shoes: beautiful Coach slip-on sneakers.

In an extraordinarily insightful piece of narration from the film Mean Girls, Lindsay Lohan ponders why so many girls see Halloween as little more than an excuse to dress in exceedingly revealing clothing.

In the country’s sixth-largest city, there are a lot of places to shop. And unfortunately, when I first moved to Philadelphia, I wasted a lot of time in stores that were distasteful, overpriced
