Philadelphia Life and Style Blog with Authentic Inspiration, Achievable Style and Beauty, and Affordable Lifestyle for Ambitious Millennial Women
Happy HUMP!!! You guys. I am so stinkin' stoked for today's post. It was inspired by one of YOU guys (actually, quite a few of you guys) reaching out on Instagram with one of the best, most legit Q's ever: Where the heck can I get a good white tee? What's the best white t-shirt? Why do all white tees end up being see-through and falling apart after ... Continue Reading »
FRIDAY! WOOOO!! I'm so ready for the weekend - you? Nothing better than waking up on a FriYAY knowing there's just a few hours standing between you and happy hour. Although I have to work most of the weekend - ha!Comin' atcha with some spring style today - although it doesn't quite feel like spring yet in Philly. Actually, it's the opposite. ...

Happy Friday - TGIF! How was your week?? I can't decide if this week flew by or dragged on...ever feel like that?Last night we saw The Greatest Showman *again* - I swear that's one of my top 5 movies of all time. Simply obsessed. The music, the acting, the characters, the storyline, Zac Efron, Hugh Jackman...it all is just musical magic with a ... Continue Reading »
Happy HUMP Tuesday! I've got myself all confused with dates/times this week - anyone else feel like the week is flying by, even though it's just begun? No? Just me? HA. I think I'm just losing it! Today I'm heading on a quick lil' work trip with a fun brand that you've seen around these rosy parts - make sure you're following me on Instagram via my ... Continue Reading »
TGIF. Who's ready for the weekend? Aaaaaaand who's been ready for the weekend since LAST weekend? Ha. ;) Even though I've got a SOLID workload for the weekend ahead, we're hoping to do an escape room as a big fam to celebrate my mama's birthday, so I'm *super* pumped about that. Have y'all done one before??? They're super strategic and GREAT for ... Continue Reading »
Happy HUMP, friends! Today's post is a bit more short n' sweet than usual posts around these rosy parts, namely cos yesterday's was a DOOZY. A Disney doozy. ;) (Have ya seen it???). Seeing as I'm a sunglass hoarder, it makes sense that one of the most commonly asked Q's I get is "Where are your sunglasses from???" And chances are...they're from ... Continue Reading »
Hello from the happiest place on Earth, where dreams come true! ICYMI, I'm currently at Disney World...which is apparently only where dreams come true, according to someone who told me my wrong on Instagram. HA. But really, I'm here for it all. This is def one of the most exciting trips of my life, since it's all about "adult" things at Disney - so ... Continue Reading »
Y'all...I'm POOPED. ICYMI, I was at New York Fashion Week the past few days, and it's really one of the most exhausting experiences *ever*. Namely because you just don't sleep. You don't sleep, you don't eat well - it's just an insane circus of Vogue come to life on the streets of Manhatten. TBH, it's not totally my cuppa tea anymore. It's ... Continue Reading »

Happy Tuesday! How's your week so far? Personally, I feel like February is turning into one big circus. This week I head up to NYC for Fashion Week - then right after that is a brief stint home for Valentine's Day with J before jetting off somewhere waaaaaay warmer, thank the heavens. And then BAM, February will be just about donezo, onto March, ... Continue Reading »
Yo yo yo, TUESDAY. Anyone else think Tuesday's are harder than Monday's??? Especially when it's snowing outside, and it's warm inside, and there's Netflix and comfy clothes and ARHLKHGLHWEGLJH. All I'm sayin' is I should've been waaaaay more appreciative of snow days as a kid. ;)Bringin' back Fifteen Favorites - woo! This is a fun lil' ... Continue Reading »
Although we've had a few weird - and albeit brief - days of 50+ weather in Philly this week, winter is typically coooooold. Brutal cold. Like, heck-no-I'm-not-leaving-my-house! cold. And while we've all been reveling in the week's heat wave, it's not going to last; next week we're back down to 12. #Cool #ActuallyCold. Something anyone who ... Continue Reading »
HAPPY MONDAY! Today's post is another in the stream of "more everyday life content por favor" comments that I got from y'all in the CUR reader survey. You wanted more "real life" things thrown in the mix, so ask and ye shall receive. I'm hopping on the "currently" bandwagon, where I share a bunch of in-the-moment things and apparently it's ... Continue Reading »
Yo yo yo - happy HUMP. This is a big week. Namely because my best friend AND husband's birthdays are back-to-back, so it's a PAR-TAY! It's been a hot sec since we did an #AskE post, so here we are! These posts actually end up being super fun to put together, so I hope they're genuinely helpful for those of ya asking Q's. Speaking of that - got a Q ... Continue Reading »
I was always that girl "overdressing" for things. I *distinctly* remember the high school backlash from those who opted for sweats for the day when I'd be in a more put-together coordinated ensemble. HEY - you do you! I'm just gonna do me, and high school me had a thing for matching my earrings to my shoes. Can ya blame me? ;) It was the same story ... Continue Reading »
TGIF, FRIENDS! Who's ready for the weekend??? (All raise hands immediately). If you've been on the hunt for a cute winter outfit that doesn't break the bank, this look is FO' YOU. Head to toe, not a single piece is over $100 - actually, not a single thing is over $85. And those are the outliers - most everything is under 40 bucks. #bless.I've ... Continue Reading »
WHOA BABY, it's been a hot sec since a Monday Mantra popped up around these rosy parts! Which is SO BAD, cos I love 'em, you love 'em...we all love 'em, and I think they're basically the quintessential way to start a Monday. Or, they're just my way of self-therapizing through Monday - ha!BUT BABY, THEY'RE BACK.Today's Monday Mantra is ... Continue Reading »
TGIF, YO. Can ya believe we're already headed towards the finish line of the first full week of 2018?!? Insanity. This week flew. by. First off, the "day off" to start the week is always a wrench in the schedule. But The Bachelor premiered, so there was that (also, am I alone in not liking ANY of the girls so far??? SOS). Then Tuesday happened, ... Continue Reading »
Merry day-after-Christmas, friends! How was your Christmas holiday!?! I hope you had the *best* time celebrating with family + friends, remembering the true reason for the season. Christmas is my *favorite* holiday for so many reasons, but it all really revolves around spending such QT with everyone I lovelovelove the most. Isn't that just the best ... Continue Reading »
Y'all. It's about to be 2018.I know, I know...Christmas hasn't even come yet, so can we not jump straight to the new year? But we are living in the future. Literally. In the Back to the Future movie trilogy, they jump to 2015 as "the future." Here I was thinking they jump to 2017 but NOPE, their "future" is actually our "past." Alright now I'm ...

'Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the mall, every Nordstrom was chaos, shoppers having a ball. Can you believe it?! I sure as heck cannot. And neither can the piles of gifts in my living room that need wrapping. Looks like I've got a hot date with hot chocolate + wrapping paper tomorrow night!As if the absolute chaos at ...
