Sharing the Love {My First Liebster Award!}

Last week, the lovely Jade of stylewallflower nominated me for a super cool Liebster Award! In case this is a relatively new term to you (like it was to me!), allow me to explain. A Liebster Award is given from one blogger to another as a way to get to know new & fabulous people.

There are a few interpretations of how many followers the nominated blogs should have & how many bloggers to nominate, but either way, it’s an awesome honor. So with that, on to the questions!

Share 11 things about yourself . . . 

1. My little sis Lindsay is my BFF. I feel pretty lucky to have her as my sister.

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! ⁣
