Gals! We couldn’t be more excited to share with you so much of what we love, what we can’t get enough of and what we’re dreaming and working for in our new Amazon storefront! We’ve been so fortunate to have had this blog as a place where we could share our tips and tricks, and of course our steals and deals, and now we’re finally able to curate a shop where we personally pick out items that you…

A Swirling Snow Globe is Just as Pretty when it's Slowing Down.

A Swirling Snow Globe is Just as Pretty when it’s Slowing Down.

I recently read an article that talked about how consumed we are in social media and how it prevents us from being inspired. The images, videos, and constant stimulation don’t really allow us to go to the widest parts of our imagination because we’re so busy concentrating on content. We’re so busy liking, disliking, finger flipping and typing we don’t really give ourselves space for peace. Peace…

Breathe... and Eat Peanut Butter & Pomegranate!

Breathe… and Eat Peanut Butter & Pomegranate!

Gal Pals sometimes it’s so necessary to just make something nice for yourself. To sit down and give yourself a minute to eat and not only eat but be grateful for what lies on your plate. And I don’t just mean all of your responsibilities.

I made appoint to do this the other day with a recipe I had seen on on Padma Lakshmi’s Instagram feed. It was so simple and serene and made me want to be…

Oh HEY! You Value Vixen you…

Gal Pals, if there’s one thing I hope you always take with you when you #shopforwhatpops is that VALUE is always what we’re looking for! Sure, you can hop on and off the trend train season to season but what you’ll notice is that because they are “trend items” you’ll wear them a few times and then eventually they’ll fall back into the closet so deep that years later you’ll dig it out because you…

SPRING FLING*

Gal Pals, as you know the Philadelphia weather has been bonkers recently! One day its hot the other day its cold, and on those days, does it not feel like you’re left out in the cold when it comes to knowing what to wear?! Before you know it you’re walking out the door wearing your winter jacket and a pair of flip flops! It’s confusing I know! But I will say its also an opportunity to layer,…

Polishedly Invited with Invitations by David’s Bridal*

Gal Pals, there’s something so blissful about getting ready to put names and a date on your wedding invitation. The only word to describe this feeling is ”giddy.” Like the same feeling you’d get if you’ve ever practiced the spelling of your crushes’ last name in the back of your high-school notebook… I can say I’ve practiced that name a few times. But here I am, ready to print my name and my…

GET A GOOD HAIR DAY EVERYDAY!

Gal Pals… I have to literally DO my hair every single day. No seriously, like… DO IT. Curling iron, blow dryer, hair spray, hair protector, and more hair spray every single day for work. Which leaves me feeling pretty afterwards, but the initial act sometimes feels like an uphill climb where I’m already exhausted by the idea. So if you’re like me and the idea of doing your hair feels un-exciting,…

Freezing Can Be Fun in Faux Fur :)

When you’ve got to wrap yourself in layers to hide from the low temps, faux fur is my go to piece of style. And this time of year you can find faux for a bargain! Whether you’re thinking of laying it around your neck as a scarf, hugging shoulders in a short coat, or layering a faux fur vest over that turtle neck of yours, it’s a texture that reads warmth. It also reads rich, but the best part,…
