That time I was in Philadelphia Magazine {sort of…}

One of the first things I did when I moved to Philly was obviously subscribe to Philadelphia Magazine. My parents subscribed to the magazine while I was growing up & I would always page through, daydreaming of my future life in the big city!

I read the magazine religiously every month, sometimes not all in one sitting, but I always genuinely enjoy its content. Being the social media gal I am, I usually tweet along with @PhillyMag on twitter, commenting on my favorite articles & photos. In November, the magazine (I have since thrown out the issue & can’t remember the author) wrote a great story about Philadelphia 76ers CEO Adam Aron. In true “Philadelphian” fashion, I was eating a cheesesteak while reading … so I decided to tweet about it.

After a tweet back from Philly Mag about including my tweet in their “letters to the editor” page and one month later, imagine my happiness when I opened the December issue…

And this happened:

O.M.G! Talk about prime real estate! And so, my first (of hopefully many) 5 minutes of Philadelphia fame had arrived.

What was the first thing you did in the city that made you feel like a true Philadelphian? xx

I’m so excited we are in holiday party season! 🎄 It’s time for me to pull out all of the “what will I possibly wear this to” items in my closet. 😉 ⁣
⁣
This was my ensemble for my company’s Christmas party on Thursday (the night my purse was snatched - and later returned!! 🙏🏻). I just got the skirt on sale at @anthro_philadelphia but it looks like it’s sold out! 😣⁣
⁣
Are you mainly a holiday party hoster or an attendee? 🥂⁣

Instagram post 2191189867026612308_267536651 Stopped by the perfect after work drinks & apps spot in the city tonight! ⬇️⁣
⁣
(Some may call this “happy hour,” however, I don’t make it back from work in time for too many happy hours! 😔) ⁣
⁣
I had such a nice night catching up with @brittanymovesphilly & @brittmovesphilly at @grancaffelaquila this evening! ⁣
⁣
We got drinks (I loved my Milano Sour) and a cheese/charcuterie board (including my fav, @parmaham_usa 😍). Our waiter even sent out some cute little gelato & sorbet samples! ⁣
⁣
Definitely a good spot to check out if you’re in the Walnut/Chestnut Rittenhouse area doing some holiday shopping this month! ⁣
