Welcome to Philadelphia!

Today was our first Saturday in the big city - Jeff and I embraced the little bit of free time we had this morning and ventured into the city.  [a day for many firsts, I must say]  

We [successfully] rode the train to and from Center City, experienced Reading Terminal [not once, but twice], ate a real soft pretzel, and did a little bit of window shopping [which is actually a first for me!] I returned home with nothing but memories and a couple of snap-shots ;)

Alexa Chung - Full and Heavy Fringe

Olivia Wilde - smooth, sleek and feathered fringe

I am loving LOVING these boots.  Props to my sister for coming across these FABULOUS boots.  DIY with belts, scarves, bracelets, headbands and other accessories you please :)
