Frosting and Fashion

I love Philly, because there is honestly never a dull moment! There is constantly something fun and unique popping up all over our city. Last night my man and I went to check out the annual pop up at Franklin Square, the Chinese Lantern Festival. It was such a cool festival to walk through and see all of the beautiful huge lanterns all over the square on a crisp Spring night. One display was more magnificent than the next, ranging from a giant walkway of zodiac symbols to a ginormous underwater theme display with giant jellyfish and other  sea creatures.

Last night's Met Gala was celebrating the opening of the Costume Institute’s exhibition, “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between.” Mostly all of the celebrities who took the carpet decided to go more simple and elegant, which was not the point of this red carpet!? I don't mean get too crazy with your look, like holding your cut off dreads in your hand as an accessory... cough cough... ... but at least take a little more risk with your outfit. Most people looked more Oscars worthy than Met.  With the theme being Comme des Garçons, if you're going to go simple, at least have some decency and slap a little heart with eyes somewhere on your outfit!😉 Thankfully there were a few fashion risk takers who dressed according to theme and killed the red carpet, l
