What We're Into: 8/4

Thursday, August 4, 2016



If you look at the post before this you're probably thinking, “You haven't posted anything in so long! WHAT THE HECK!?” Yeah, we’re thinking the same thing. We can't believe it's August already and summer seems to be less fun as an adult because we have to work and have responsibilities and everything, ya know? Anyways, Ray has been super busy planning her wedding that is in September and working on moving into an apartment. While A has been helping her along the way as a bridesmaid and doing her duties of designing all things paper and helping prep the pre-wedding fun. We haven’t forgotten about the blogging world! Here are some super cool things we can't seem to get our minds off of...

Cat videos. Because just when you think you've seen them all, you haven't. This one in particular is the bomb.

Thankfully glasses are always in style thanks to Warby Parker, now that both of us are now “4-eyes.” These sunnies have us dreaming of a forever summer!

Speaking of cats… Philly opened it’s second cat cafe this year, called Kawaii Kitty Cafe in Queen Village, and it’s PAW-some (#sorrynotsorry for the pun) Complete with a full coffee bar, delicious pastries, and of course lots of furry friends to cuddle up with while you sip away! You can also pick up some of A’s greeting cards (cat edition) in the shop!

Target ain’t just for suburban moms! Center City opened a Target Express last week, and we have yet to check it out, but nonetheless excited to see that big red bullseye grace the city streets.

Let’s face it– everyone’s a plant lady these days, so why not use them to decorate your room/apartment/house? Monica over at East Coast Creative has a fun little DIY plant cozy that’s instant decor to jazz up your house and your plants!

Stick around for more fun posts in the near future!

ROMPING 'ROUND PHILLY

Friday, April 22, 2016

After the random snow and chilly weather that consumed our second weekend in April we took full advantage of the 75 degree weather this past Saturday. Since Alisa moved to Philly recently, Rachel used good ol’ Septa to make her way to the city for the day! 


FIRST STOP

We started the day hungry of course, so we popped into Marathon Grill and had some bangin' omelettes, home fries and multi grain toast. The atmosphere is chill and screams fresh food. Let’s just say we will definitely be back again for more.


SECOND STOP

The place we can never get enough of. PAPER SOURCE. We probably spent the most time here out of any other place we explored. Between the stationary, desk accessories, gifts, and even a scratch-and-sniff book on whiskey, they definitely have everything you could ever want, and more.


THIRD STOP

Rittenhouse Square. Since the weather was so nice the park was packed with so many people and more dogs than ever (secretly wishing we had our cats on leash...) After taking a stroll around the farmer's market we planted our butts on a bench to bask in the sunlight and people watch. The perfect combo.

  
FOURTH STOP

The lovely Anthropologie where visual displays are always on point. Walking around there always leaves our mouths wide open at how much detail is put into the displays. With such a refreshing atmosphere we wandered around each floor in anticipation of what beautiful display would be next. 


 
FIFTH STOP

La Colombe. Where coffee lovers dwell. After Rachel’s first experience with the can of draft latte, she was so looking forward to getting the real deal. And boy, was it worth the wait. It is the perfect amount of smoothness, creaminess and foam that there could be.

We’re looking forward to the next time we will meet up to explore more of this city. Thank goodness for friends and fun-filled cities. Until next time, keep on exploring!
