Hey Everyone,

This past Wednesday, I attended the launch of Philly Blog Love , founded by Jessie of Trend Hungry . As always it was a great time mingling and meeting an array of bloggers. The event included fashion and lifestyle bloggers, like myself, as well as travel, beauty and even a "green" lifestyle blogger. It was great!

 Blogging has not only been a creative outlet for me to share my love of fashion but has enabled me to meet great like-minded people. Over good food and drinks nonetheless! I hope everyone is enjoying this hot, hot weather at the beach!

Happy Friday!

 Hey everyone, 

Last night I attended the Glamour Live Event in Philly. There was great food, drinks sponsored by Fuze and a fun performance by OCD. Best of all, I was able to meet a handful of Philly bloggers and probably the entire Urban Outfitters creative team. (Likely because Color Me Nana hosted and she is apart of the URBN umbrella.) The party def had the Urban/ Free People vibe and I was the black sheep out. Or Black Cat! I hardly ever wear black and this jumpsuit and my leopard print shoes sure made me feel, well kind of... sexy. I guess there will be more black for me in the future.

Thanks for reading! 

its hammer time... nino brand launch

Hey guys,

Last Thursday I attended a fashion brand launch, Nino Brand. Bela Shehu, the designer behind the brand hosted a beautiful party with Philly’s most fashionable. It was nice to see so many familiar faces and meeting some cool new ones. ;)

Nino brand consistent of architectural pieces with a palette of black, grey and white. I could see myself sporting one of there effortless but yet edgy pieces. Check her out here!

Being that I am petite, I paired the oversized and dropped crotch harem pants with a fitted vest. In my opinion, clothing should be paired with their opposites. If you wear something tight on top, pair it with looser bottoms. If something is overtly sexy, like a mini skirt. I tend to pair it with a flowy or long sleeve shirt. My rule of them is opposite attracts! (and make things more interesting!) 

Hanging out with Jacqui from Burgundy Whisper.

What do you think of the look? Would you ever wear hammer pants?

Hi guys, 

My good friend Jane and Paul were in town last week. Which of course means amazing pictures for the blog and unbuckling my belt a notch or two. Jane and Paul are huge foodies, as are we. We spent the majority of their 5 day visit, eating at our favorite spots and discovering  new gems along the way. Pumpkin, a rustic, farm-to-table style American food was one of the best meals I've had thus far in Philly. A must try if you are in the Philadelphia area. 

mexican wedding

Hi guys,

Leon and I attended a beautiful wedding on the west coast of Mexico last week. Congrats Adam & Kimberly! We were on Cloud 9 lounging at the St. Regis Hotel. I could probably die in the bed,  tub or one of their multi-level infinity pools. sigh.... is it not the most depressing feeling to have to leave paradise?

If you are the west coast, flights from L.A. are about 3.5 hours, or so I heard. I would highly recommend staying at the St. Regis Punta Mita. The service was impeccable. Oh, did I mention our room came with a butler? Leon and I looked at each other and maybe peed our pants a bit from excitement. Not that we fully utilized his services, he did unpacked our bags (it was awesome, haha) but the idea was pretty awesome. (Probably our first and last butler....sad to leave you too, Christian.)

 I am so so so madly in love with the dress! It is a 1920’s silk chiffon dress with a hand dyed slip. Actually, it was a skirt that i converted to a dress but it can be worn multiple ways. There is also a shirt to complete the set! Its so so so beautiful!!!! I love love love it! Can you tell I am excited? Can’t wait to shoot the entire outfit!

I paired the look with my vintage Chanel necklaces, an old jewelry box/turned clutch, (I picked up at a thrift store for a few bucks) and the  classic Pigalle Louboutin. 

Folk and knife in hand! Ready for Din Din! Get in my belly! 

Partying and drinking with the boys! 

We also celebrated our First Year Anniversary! All in all a wonderful wedding, vacation and great way to round out our first year as Mr. & Mrs.
