Blog Bloom

If I could tell you one thing about myself...

I'm pretty horrible when it comes to anything technology related. I don't even have word/excel on my computer, even if I did I wouldn't know how to use them.

So when my fellow FABB blogger Melissa of Ring the Alam decided that she was going to give a crash course in blog and layout design 101- I couldn't get on the wait list any faster.

Introducing: blog bloom

An interactive class right on Passyunk Avenue in a fabulously curated Occasionette (goods and gift shop).

Melissa created mason jars painted in chalkboard paint to hold a plethora of little goodies (including chalk!) From the most user friendly photo editing software to one on one help from the graphic designer herself, Melissa walked us through tons of information that can only make your blog/website that much better.

Talk about inspired! 

And lastly...check out a screen shot of what I learned to create!! 

(I found that picture on pinterest....but don't you want that whole outfit/necklace?!)

She is teaching an all day class on Saturday, July 27 for web design/creating a whole new website (for fun/blogging/business)... you can sign up here!

100.

This is officially my 100th post!

Once summer hits, the weekends turn into mini adventurous vacations. Sometimes the furthest we go is just to the deck in the backyard for dinner, but a difference scene is sometimes what you need. This weekend was busy no less...

.More apartment shopping (I fell for a beautiful old converted school house with drastically high ceilings

.Fabulous homemade food and fresh vegetables

.Fresh white manicure

.US Open (where we trekked all over the Merion Golf Course which was stunning in itself)

.My blog turned ONE last week!

White on White on White

Well, not really...but my normal attire is black. I'm just drawn to it. A clear space to dress up with tons of accessories and it's right up my alley- edgy.

But something happened, I'm having a serious "white moment".

The warmer temperatures are making me crave flowy fabrics in lighter shades.

All of a sudden, no matter what time of day it is the world just breathes a sigh and everything just smells amazing. Damp dirt with green grass in the mornings and honeysuckle at night. I seriously can not get any more of the fresh air.

It's addictive.

Last week snaps

Whew!

Saying that last week was busy would be a complete understatement. My fabulous PhillyFABB took over Philadelphia on Tuesday evening at the Union Lounge with an exclusive invite to check out Patrick Michael's line of accessories. His handbags are made right here in Philadelphia using discontinued fabric from all over the world.

Thursday
I love a party with a theme. 
Thursday evenings' White party thrown by the amazing Deneen of Deneen Marcel Lashes was a night filled with amazing sweet and savory cupcakes, champagne, fashionable people and seriously stunning lashes.

Happy Monday!!

New ohheychrisi jewels in the shop

ohheyyyyyyy!

I'm all about comfort. I'll choose cotton tee's over a silk blouse ANY day of the week. 

I wore this on Memorial Day to meet up with my girlfriend (ohheyshannnn!) for sushi, fruity beverages and some serious femme talk.

I'll get more into that little number on my lap in a later post, but I'm wearing one of my newest creations! Like I said above, I love to dress cool and comfortable once the weather warms up and I find myself wearing a lot of low key one colored tops. The best way to still show your style but be comfortable is to throw on a fabulous little statement necklace or pair of earrings!

I've got you covered.

Now up in the ohheychrisi shop, I've added a couple more fabulous jewels...this necklace included!

Wearing: MK watch, ohheychrisi necklace, simple Target tee, Nich Boutique sunnies, Dolce Vita sandals

Memorial Day Weekend

With all the crazy posts on facebook of how everyone was at the beach (it was freezing for most of the weekend...) I opted to just do a little R&R at home.

We met up with my sister at Terrain at Styers to gather a little bit of inspiration and get back to a simple, earthy groundwork.

If it weren't monsoon-ing...

Seriously weather?

Well, if it weren't monsoon-ing outside, I'd try to rock out with this frock for Memorial Day...

Hopefully the weather clears up and everyone enjoys their weekend!!!
