Philly Fashion Week 2013 (the fashion, the gossip, the celebrity guests!)

Last night My mom and I had the awesome opportunity to attend the Haute Couture fashion show which was the finale of Philly Fashion Week 2013! It was my first time attending Philly Fashion Week, and it was a fabulous experience. When I showed up at the Crane Arts building in North Philly I didn't know what to expect. As we went inside, it was a lot to take in. The sights were one of a kind. Everyone went ALL out and dressed to impress to show case their individuality and personal style. There were no limits as to the fashion risks that were taken last night.

Guests were able to walk the red carpet with the Philly Fashion Week backdrop and get their picture taken. After the drinks and food were served and live music was drawing to an end in the lobby area everyone moved into the main room and chose their seats around the runway and waited for the show to start.

The fashions were seriously insane! It was my first time at a real runway show so I was just taking it all in and bursting with excitement! When I got inside I sat in the 2nd row right up next to the runway- talk about majorly cool! I took a million pictures until my phone died. There were so many designers who had magnificent fashions that left the audience in awe. The collections were so high fashion, it was like being at a show at NYFW! It was even like NYFW the way the VIP guests sat in the front row next to the runway and the models weighed all of two pounds and never smiled!!

If you haven't been to Philly Fashion Week I highly suggest you go at least once in your lifetime, because it is such a cool experience! This entire underground fashion world exists in Philly that we don't even realize. Philly Fashion Week brought together all the stylish people of Philadelphia who share a common bond of fashion. It was a night of food, friends, fun and FASHION! It doesn't get any better than that!

Check out some of the photos I took at the Philly Fashion Week Haute Couture finale fashion show last night:

Chef Delco: Fancy Truffle Pasta

Tonight I surprised my family with a new dish I created on the spur! I just had to share with you all because it was slammin'! I saw this bottle of truffle oil in our pantry and thought ooh fancy! It sounded different and I never cooked with it before, so I decided to be inventive with it! Estimated total cook time was 30-40 mins. I created the magical pasta dish as follows: I cooked 1 1/2 cups of chopped fresh mushrooms, 2 shallots chopped long ways and thin, and 1 large clove of fresh garlic in a little less than 1/3 cup of truffle oil in a pan. I cooked the penne as I let the mushrooms and shallots mixture simmer over low heat on the stove to cook through in the truffle oil. After the pasta was cooked I drained it and returned it to the pot with about a table spoon of the starchy water still remaining in the pot. Then I mixed in the mushroom and shallot mixture into the pasta, along with a cup of grated parmesan cheese, and an extra drizzle of the truffle oil. The f...

Perfect Pool Day Essentials!

Summertime and the livin is easy! With a high of 80 degrees and no schedule for the day, I decided to lounge poolside with my main girl Pearl. It was the perfect day of resting and relaxation!
