Scenes From The Weekend

{welcome to Philadelphia}

Sometimes the best moments are unplanned. That was the theme for this past weekend. We went to support our good friend, Then One at his first solo art show in Philly. We planned on taking the 2+ hour drive back home that night, but decided last minute to stay at The Rittenhouse 1715 a charming boutique hotel. We're so glad we did. Philly truly is a welcoming city that always makes us feel right at home. To see our last trip to Philadelphia click here. The rest of the weekend included a baby shower, Sunday morning mass, a delicious brunch at my sister-in-law's house, a couples massage and a delicious Cuban dinner. It was a very eventful weekend to say the least.

DIY: Jeweled Cuff

While organizing my craft/DIY box this weekend I was happy to discover that I had all the necessary materials for this quickie DIY.  I used some left over suede from the Native American headdress I made for Halloween, sticky back Velcro, E-6000 glue, an old brooch, and a scissor.  The end result was a casual yet statement making piece of arm candy.

Arm Parties

The phrase "Arm Party" is synonymous with The Man Repeller. Girlfriend has some serious arm parties going on.  Check some of them out here (so hot).Whether you are wearing one chunky statement cuff or a bevy of assorted bracelets, this look may appear as not thought out, but we all know the truth. ; )
