Sunday [fun]day

Last weekend Jeff and I decided not to participate in St. Patrick's day activities, but rather enjoy a beautiful Sunday together! We took Cooper out to Main Street and did a little shopping, eating, and beer/wine tasting.  It was a nice change of pace and scenery to get out and about and enjoy the wonderful weather we were having!

[Officially] Spring

We finally made it!  It is [officially] spring-time!  As March 21st rolled around in Philadelphia, we saw a week's worth of fabulous weather. This past Friday, we even topped out at a record-breaking 80 degrees!

Spring is in full swing and so is my bright and "spring-y" wardrobe.

My go-to spring pieces:

Thick or Thin

Thick or Thin... how do you wear your brows?

Brook Shields burst onto the scene in 1980 as a Calvin Klein jean model with eyebrows every woman envied. For the past 32 years eyebrows have been [predominately] an understated and [under-groomed] trend.

More recently eyebrows have made a [big] statement.  Celebrities and models alike have been sporting a more natural thick brow for the past couple seasons and from the look of things the bold brow is here to stay!

Ladies, put down your tweezers and cancel that monthly wax... embrace the [bushy... BUT SHAPED] brow this season!

Camilla Belle - beautifully natural

Jennifer Connelly - statement brows

Lily Collins - all about the brows

It's my party & I'll eat if I WANT to

In celebration of my birthday [26 years young] I ate my way through the weekend and played with some of my favorite people! We had some fabulously unhealthy foods and even learned a little history ;)

I also got a handful of wonderful gifts :) The presence of my sister and b.f.f for one!  A couple gift cards to great places (Target, Ulta, and Starbucks [of course]).  Some rockin' colored jeans (green, yellow, and pink!  Welcome Spring... anytime now) and lots of love from my family and friends.

5 things I learned and ate this weekend:
1) The Liberty Bell is inside a building, not outside for every passer-by to view ;)
2) I ate 2 cheese steaks, one with cheese-whiz and one in pretzel form
3) People in Philadelphia start celebrating St. Patrick's Day two weeks early...
4) I ate cookies, cake, and chocolate truffles.  Oh wait, and cinnamon pretzels.  WHOOPS.
5) All estimates lead to Independence Hall as the birthplace of America, right here in downtown Philadelphia.

Cheesesteak... Nom Nom
