Dîner en Blanc

Last night I attended the traditional Dîner en Blanc in Philly and it was simply beautiful. Over 5,000 attendees gathered with their white tables and chairs, dressed to impress in white head to toe, to eat, drink, and be merry with friends at this year's "secret location" Franklin Square. People munched on glittery fairy floss and sipped on champagne and Sauvignon Blanc, while dancing the night away and taking rides on the carousel. The night was fun, French, and fabulous!

Inspired by a French tradition, places all over the world hold Dîner en Blanc each year and our city of brotherly love has grown to be the largest in attendance. 

One outfit was more unique and angelic than the next, some added white body glitter, while others added a fancy hat to complete their white looks...some even added angel wings! Each guest had their own je ne sais quoi! Besides the outfits being show stoppers, guests adorned their table tops with the finest decor from crystals, to fairy lights, to fresh cut flowers. Last night was a Parisian dream.

The chic evening was definitely one I will always remember. I highly recommend you jump at the chance to attend the event one year just to see what it is all about. Dîner en Blanc once again proved that we live in one of the coolest cities in the U.S.! I do not know how you could ever be bored with the magical city of Philadelphia at your fingertips. 😊

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...

Cute, Comfy, and Casual Spring OOTD

The weather for it being APRIL has been cray cray lately! It's cold one day, raining the next, and recently it's been turning for the better and getting a little warmer. It's tough to decide on what to wear to dress accordingly to the weather since it's so unpredictable throughout the day.  I decided to do a OOTD (outfit of the day) for welcoming this transforming spring weather. I decided to do a little California vibe to the look by adding my new Dimepiece "Ain't No Wifey" beanie I just bought! I've been wanting it forever and FINALLY just bought it when it went on sale, so I was super hype about it! :) Boyfriend jeans are perfect for a casual laid back cute spring look! I paired my AE boyfriend jeans with a basic gray vneck from Target I got for like $5. I decided to keep the accessories simple with a thin gold bracelet, and a double stranded chain spike necklace to add some cool edge to the look. To complete this look, I was excited to break out th...

My 1st Delco Beautorial: Ooh La La!

Bonjour! Sorry it's been  a while since I last posted! I was feeling very French inspired today! It could have just been because my sweater says "ooh la la" on it, or the fact that I've been randomly craving french macarons for the past 24 hours.. Who knows! On my way home from work I made a quick detour to Crêperie Béchamel in Wayne to pick up some macarons! Randomly getting French macarons on a Thursday... Who do I think I am Blair Waldorf? In my defense, it's almost the weekend and I've made it this far in the week without oversleeping for work a single day, so like the saying goes "Treat yoself!" It just so happens I recently purchased three of the NYX macaron lippies and I've been dying to try them out. This season is all about rocking unusual and bold lip colors so I wanted to try 3 out of the ordinary shades! I bought the colors Rose (Barbie pink), Earl Grey (light blue), and Pistachio (pastel green). So to go along with my Fren...
