Fall Fashion

I love these photos from "Street Style vs. The Great Outdoors", Miss. Moss' guest post on Honestly...WTF.



Madewell now has a blog!

I love this store and now I'm looking forward to following their blog for inspiration!

J. Crew Blog

Did you know J.Crew has a blog? I didn't.

I want to be her

or just me, but check out this site anyway. :)

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time and finally made these pumpkin cookies. I was a little overwhelmed at first but I think everything turned out okay with the help of my mom. :)

It has been amazing having time off from work! I have been spending time with family and friends and yesterday I went thrifting.

Here are a few things from around the web. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! xo

I love this hat.

Maybe I need a nerdy boyfriend.

Apple and cheddar scones.

Street Style

Borderline Magazine has an amazing collection of photographs of people from around the world representing their everyday style. Anyone can submit a street shot.

A Sweet Friend

My friend Sara is always there for me. We have been through a lot together and quickly became dear friends. She is super sweet and one of the most nonjudgmental people I know.

                                                                                                                                                                      

She also has amazing style and rides a motorcycle!

The two of us at a Halloween party.

And did I mention she is a designer for Anthropologie?

How awesome is this jacket?

October Weekends

I watched the sunrise this morning after taking my friend Lina to the airport. Somehow watching the day begin makes me feel closer to God.

I went home and took a little nap before going to breakfast at Sabrina’s with my little sister Corinne. We also visited a thrift store, a vintage shop and Old Navy where I thought about purchasing these shorts and this jacket until I saw how long the line was.

We also picked up a loaf of bread from Sarcone’s. I’m thinking of making a pot of chili tomorrow and serving the bread with it. Yum!

*What are you doing this weekend?

*Have you seen any good movies lately?

Tonight I’m going to see ‘It’s Kind of a Funny Story’!

**Also here's a picture of me and my friend Sara on her motorcycle. :)

Week Recap

This weekend friends opened up a coffee shop in Kensington called Leotah's Place. I headed over with some friends to celebrate their grand opening.

Sara, T-Rex, Lina and me sitting outside Leotah's Place

Read more about it here. :)

Leotah's Place is located on the corner of York and Coral.


I also had the chance to go to the Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby at the Trenton Avenue Arts Festival.

Where I ran into sweet friends like Sarah

And I saw an adorable pup with a bike helmet

kids from the neighborhood

and of course cute boys on bikes!

Saturday night some of us celebrated Liz's 26th birthday at North Bowl in Northern Liberties.

Liz is seriously one of the most kind-hearted people I know and a much better bowler then me!

Weekend Recap

Graduation parties, friends, hulla hooping and hotdogs. If this weekend is any indicator of how amazing this summer is going to be then I'm in!

Me, Sara, and James

This weekend also included some dancing.

The Art Star Craft Bazaar 

Some things that caught my eye:

*This adorable purse made from vintage fabric.

*A photo collage of my neighborhood.

*Mini Monster Cupcakes

*A Fringe Pouch

Sunday I met up with Lina in Rittenhouse Park. We walked to Reading Terminal Market and then to get my first Boba Tea!

In China Town drinking Boba Tea (or Bubble Tea :)

After Public Meeting Sara and I ended the weekend eating here. Thanks Weegie!

This morning I relaxed with a cup of coffee after a fun-filled weekend before heading to an interview that went awesome. Life is good.

A Whale of a Good Time

I haven't been doing much shopping these days but when my friend Lana was in town last week I had trouble resisting her invitation to meet up in Center City and go to Urban Outfitters. She pointed out this dress that she thought was 'me'. I tried it on and now it's in my closet. It would be perfect for a day wedding or a barbecue. I can't wait to wear it!

Thrift Finds

I recently found two pairs of shoes at a thrift store that are still being sold for full price! 

These Margie White Sandals for $3.

(Bass Shoes $39)

And a pair of Kimchi Blue Patent T-Strap Skimmer for $2.

(Urban Outfitters $28)

Floral Sneakers

I think these shoes are absolutely adorable.

They just might be my first splurge once I find a new job. I have a denim dress I think they would go perfect with. :)

Mint

Mint has been a popular nail color this year but I’ve had so much trouble finding the right shade. Check out this great polish by RGB and all their other amazing shades. It’s a little on the pricey side but I think it would be the perfect Spring treat for your toes!
