Philadelphia City Hall
During the holiday weekend, my boyfriend and I headed to his hometown of Philadelphia. It was a fun weekend, full of good people, great food and crushing sports defeats (for him, at least – I was glad to see the Pats win!).
There’s been an ongoing Philly vs. Anywhere Else debate going the length of my relationship, and since I’m a huge history nerd, so it was really cool to finally visit the Birthplace of America. I always love seeing places I grew up reading about.

And did I mention the weather? When we got our tourist on Sunday afternoon, the skies were clear and the sunny shining. And it was in the mid-80s. Which was wonderful and all, but not what I was prepared for in my jeans and (Miami Hurricanes) t-shirt. So I did what any rational (style) blogger would do – I went to H&M.
Dress – H&M; Bag – my mom’s; Flats – Target; Finally Seeing the Liberty Bell – priceless.
Guys, butterfly print. In purple. For ten dollars, down from 25 bucks. Thanks, Columbus Day sale at H&M – I think I’m obsessed.
Thumbs up for freedom of the press, thumbs down for not facing the camera.
How did you guys spend your (hopefully long) weekend?

Wow, I’m jealous! I’ve been to Philadelphia several times, but its usually just to the airport, so that doesn’t really count. I’ve actually been to Philly for a reason other than the airport twice, but, again, I didn’t really see any of it. I went with my boyfriend to see the Flyers play, which is his favorite team and favorite sport. All I saw was the arena and surrounding high ways.
I’m also jealous about your mega deal. Awesome score.
Unfortunately, I think there may be a Flyers game in my future. He loves hockey, I refuse to acknowledge it as an actual sport.
I totally bought a butterfly print top yesterday on sale in H&M
I love your new dress. It looks like you had a lot of fun in your boyfriends hometown! xxx
