Hey there, fashion fanatics!

I was in Northern Liberties getting a manicure at Salon Spa East when I spotted a new boutique in the neighborhood. Aesthetiks Boutique, located in Liberties Walk (1030 N. 2nd Street), has something for every one including section for menswear. Influenced by the study of the mind and beauty and what defines aesthetics, the store carries a variety of brands (Tory Burch, Kardashian Kollection, Chanel) and independent designers. 

Khadia Conteh, the owner is also a stylist and designer. If you're looking for something signature, the store exclusively carries scarves and headwraps that Conteh designed inspired by her family's Sierra Leone heritage.

First up in my Style Stars of Philadelphia series is Curran Swint of Kings Rule Together.

I met Curran at a party a couple of years ago, and it was fashion at first sight. Often seen donning the best in men’s vintage wears, this young king is a true inspiration and a Philadelphia fashion plate. His blog, kingsruletogether.com is a chock full of inspiration and his own fashion musings.

This scene-ster knows the meaning of seeing and being seen. You can catch him at the coolest events and on the pages of GQ, Ebony, NY Times, Complex and  Essence magazines, just to name a few.

Check out the video with Curran to get to know him better.
