Frosting and Fashion

Sunny days have us feeling like summer is just around the corner! Looking for a fun way to kick it off? Summerfest at Blue Cross RiverRink opens this weekend, and it supplies heaps of fun for the whole family!  Penns Landing, more specifically Harbor Park, is a classic go- to spot for date night, hanging out with a group of friends, or a family outing. Most of the time you visit there though, you are just waiting around to snag a hammock or bummed because life size chess and Jenga are taken... well not this year. Summerfest at Penns Landing is supplying countless options for fun! Besides the delicious food choices, beer garden, roller skating, and mini golf, you can now also enjoy a ride on the Ferris wheel overlooking the water and roller rink, ride the carousel, or play numerous carnival games. Grab a PBR or Watermelon Mojito to help with your hand- eye coordination and shoot some hoops for a prize! The warmer weather is finally here, so get outside and enjoy! Add Summerfest ...

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. The festival also offers traditional Chinese eats and crafts as you stroll through the Square, admiring the lanterns. This year at the festival there will be performances offered every thirty minutes as well as handicrafters offering sugar painting and traditional Chinese hand drawings, and much more. Also, be sure to check out the newly rebuilt 200 foot Chinese Dragon, the fan favorite of the festival, located in the center ...

Last night I attended the Spruce Street Harbor Park kickoff party, which was my official kick off of Summer!  I got to sip watermelon margaritas and eat ice cream from Franklin Fountain with my best friend💕 on the waterfront, sitting in the sand, with music playing, and minus the crowds... it was a perfect Thursday night.  After we sampled the foods that will be featured at Harbor Park this season, and walked along the waterfront some, we took a little impromptu trip over to South Street to check out Eye's Gallery. I have been following Eye's Gallery on Instagram for a while, and have always been captivated by all of their colorful, cultural rich posts, and have been dying to go in-person.  Eye's Gallery is a beautiful little gem hidden in the middle of South Street. The gallery is a majorly co lorful bazaar and museum filled to the brim with Indian & Latin American folk art, jewelry & handmade gifts. One thing is cooler than the next as you walk ...

This year I was fortunate enough to attend yet another successful Philly Fashion Week. It was a fun night out with one of my bffs, because what compliments an outfit better than a friend by your side:) aww how cheesy LOL !  The crowds came out to watch the show, and they were dressed to impress- which I wouldn't have expected anything less. We're in Philly, where anything goes and creativity takes the cake when it comes to fashion! The fashions on the runway were magnificent, innovative, and inspiring. Even NYFW creator, Fern Mallis, came out for the event and sat front row gazing upon Philly's unique style. My favorite from the show was D Leak's unique take on fashion through bow ties! While watching the models with masks covering their faces walk down the runway, I thought to myself, how cool is that,to get to display your unique idea of strictly showcasing designer bow ties during PFW!  Another runway favorite was Todd Anthony's collection. I love how sup...
