Philly Girl Fall Life {2014}

Fall has been lovely so far. Layers, tights, burgundy lip color, it’s all pretty great to me. I have started working a “day off” into my weekly calendar, to sort of maintain my sanity, but also to allow me to get some things done. Life is so much more productive when you actually have time to work on tasks – don’t you think? Here are the other things on my mind lately . . .

Fall in Philadelphia // Her Philly

Carbs, Carbs, Carbs: I am really looking forward to heading back to my parents’ house to spend time with the fam over Thanksgiving. Some other things I’m hoping to work into my trip: a pedicure, a stop (or several) to my favorite thrift store, finishing up some blogging, and making a dent in my huge stack of magazines. I just sent my insane amount of laundry off to a service in the city (more on that later!) so I wouldn’t have to tackle it while I was home, so, hi Mom, you’re in luck 😉

Look Up at the Stars: Speaking of movies, this month’s Movie Club was The Theory of Everything, and it was absolutely fantastic. I didn’t know much about Stephen Hawking before I saw the movie, but it’s sort of unfathomable to hear his journey. The performances by Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones were phenomenal, and really recommend checking it out. Bring a few tissues . . . so many feelings.

Nightmares Dressed like Daydreams: Oh, Tay Tay. I have always enjoyed Taylor Swift, but her new album, 1989, is perfect to me. It’s kind of been the only music I have listened to for the past few weeks (specifically “I Wish You Would” and “Wonderland”). My obsession has grown so deep, that I recently paid the most I’ve ever paid for concert tickets ($125) to see Tay shake it off at Lincoln Financial Field in June. (Actually, I’m trying to sell my Saturday tix so I can go Friday with a few more friends, so if you’re interested, they’re here) But either way, I can’t wait.

Pretty fall colors // Her Philly

I have a lot of blogging planned for the rest of the year, so keep checking back to see what Her Philly has going on. If you don’t subscribe on Bloglovin, give it a try so you don’t miss any of the action. Enjoy your weekend, ladies! xx

Felt just like old times tonight… a pitcher of @ Felt just like old times tonight… a pitcher of @jose_pistolas margs, chicken tinga nachos, and a 45 minute parking spot search (what are they filming in the city rn?!). 😉 Thankful for good friends & lots of guac.

We adopted a puppy!!! 🖤 Meet Putter. He was born in January in Mississippi, and brought to PA with his mom & siblings for adoption by @tlcrescuepa. 

I had been applying to rescue a pup for almost a year, so I am so thankful to @tlcrescuepa for giving us a shot. We brought Putter home 4/26/22. 🥰

Putter is fitting into our family so well, and we are loving watching him grow and learn new things. Jim & I are taking him to puppy class every Saturday and we are excited to learn more ourselves! 

I could spam you with a million pictures but I created an Insta for the baby so I don’t go overboard here. 😂 You can follow @putterthepuppy to see more of our small boy. 🥹

I have talked about the @foundingfootsteps tours for years. The owner, Tim, is such an asset to the Philly community, and I was excited to support his company for our ladies night out. 💃🏻

I booked us the Beer & Bands trolley tour. We (the 8 of us and 3 sweet younger gals) got picked up at Betsy Ross house with our BYO @highnoonsunsips and singing voices ready. 🎶

The trolley comes equipped with musicians and an amazing driver (shoutout Koser, Nate & Justin!) and takes you on a drive throughout the city, while the musicians play Britney Spears, BSB, & other assorted covers. Though we did make several suggestions to add more Taylor songs into rotation. 😉

The windows are open and we were loudly singing along, so early on, in our drunken happiness, we decided to start waving to people out the window. Once we started getting a few waves back, it became the sole focus of the night, singing and seeing how many waves we could secure (it was a 95% wave-back rate). 

We laughed and sang and just had the most fun tour ever. The tour also stops at a brewery or two (hence that part of the name), we stopped at @victorytaproom_phl on ours, but we were mostly happy to be waving on the trolley. 😂

I can’t recommend @foundingfootsteps for your next girls night out enough. 🖤
