Maibock Goat Races

Every year on the first Sunday in May we, along with our men, head down to the SlyFox Brewery for their annual goat races! I know it sounds weird, but I assure you it's a good time. They have food & craft vendors, live music, great beer and of course goats! The goats race around a track with their human and whichever goat wins, SlyFox names the bock beer after them for the year. We opted to wear dresses and accessories from our store which was a good thing since the weather was too hot at times, but we didn't let that stop us from having a great time.

 

Philly getaway!

This past weekend I was able to escape off to Philadelphia with my husband to visit my sister & her boyfriend Ghig for 5 days! It was a much needed trip and we had a lot of fun things lined up. Now I don't know about you but the worst part of any trip for us is always planning out the clothes.  It's not like we can take our entire closet, because let's be honest here- if we could, we would! It's so important to pack the key essentials that can cross over from any style and from day to night. All of these can be styled up in so many different ways making options endless. For this particular trip I checked the forecast and it said it was going to be low 80s! Instantly I knew I needed to grab my spandex, a romper, black hat and a staple sweater incase it got chilly. Check out the pics below to see how I styled up some of these key pieces.

Day time casual while out shopping in Rittenhouse Square. There were a few unexpected rain showers in the morning so on the way out the door I grabbed my favorite hat and threw in a quick side braid to protect my blowout!

I loved this look so much that I carried it into our night time festivities. I grab a pair of black stilettos to dress it up and vamped up my eyeliner for the night ahead. Since my hair was a little crazy from the humidity I left the hat on and let my hair down.

Sissy kept it real casual in all black and her glasses and light makeup. She worked all day so she was exhausted and I definitely guilted her into going out on the town, because after all I don't get to see her as much as I'd like.

Fitness Motivation

With summer approaching fast, this is a prime time to start a new workout program! Flipping through magazines we constantly see these gorgeous women who are in amazing shape and that's just the push we need to get motivated to live a healthier lifestyle and get our asses in shape too (at least for the summer!).  With both of us working non-stop it's hard to find time to get to the gym, so we are huge fans of at home workout programs. Last year we did Focus T25 and loved it, this year we thought we would try something new so we started Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution at the beginning of the week. One thing we love about being active is all the new athletic wear out on the market. It's fun matching our sneakers to our outfits and coordinating the colors to match our current mood! Here's what Elissa wore for the first day of the program.
