Roundup of Philadelphia Fall Activities

MAMA Sweatshirt: PinkBlush / Leggings: Zella
Combat Boots: Sam Edelman (Similar) / Sunglasses: Quay (BOGO Sale!)

Looking for fun COVID friendly activities to do in the fall in and around Philadelphia? Well you’ve come to the right place! Fall has to be one of my favorite seasons of the year and one of the things I love to do this time of year is get to a pumpkin patch (at least once)! My husband and I took a trip to Linvilla Orchards which is about a 20 minute drive outside of Philadelphia early Saturday morning. It’s such a fun activity to do and there is something for all ages plus getting the fresh apple cider donuts is soo worth it!

I wanted to wear something comfortable for our outing since we would be walking around so I opted for this super cute “MAMA” sweatshirt (non maternity size HERE) which was sent by PinkBlush, an amazing maternity clothing brand that has affordable and trendy clothing. What I love about the brand is that they have clothing for before, during and after pregnancy. I wanted to keep this look simple for a fun filled activity day outside so I paired this sweatshirt with black leggings and combat boots.

Crop Top Pink Pleated Jumpsuit in Philadelphia

Jumpsuit: ASOS (Dusty Mauve color) / Handbag: From Greece (Similar)
Sandals: Steve Madden / Sunglasses: Ray Ban

The countdown for the last weeks of summer is on! I can’t believe we are literally less than two weeks away from Labor Day Weekend. I wanted to share with you all one of my favorite looks this summer - this gorgeous pink pleated jumpsuit. The jumpsuit I am wearing is pink but it also comes in a beautiful dusty mauve color which is PERFECT for fall! You can style this jumpsuit so many ways and I’m definetly going to grab the dusty mauve color before it runs out of stock!

On another note, I’ve been a little behind with posts this summer and I wanted to apologize. My brother’s wedding is coming up so I’ve been pretty busy with that! Can’t wait to show all of you my fun looks for the wedding - it’s kicking off with the Sangeet this weekend!

Christmas Village in Philadelphia

Sweater: Zara (Similar) / Jeans: LOFT / Jacket: Vince Camuto
Boots: Sam Edelman (Dupe for the Stuart Wetizman Lowland)
Sunglasses: Sperry / Handbag: Marc Jacobs

It's that time of year again when Christmas Village is back in Philadelphia! My family and I went to check out Christmas Village on Saturday which was probably not the best idea since it was the first weekend and also a holiday weekend - needless to say it was very crowded! This year Christmas Village is split between Dilworth Park and LOVE park which I personally don't think was the best decision as LOVE Park is still under construction making the paths between the booths hard to walk through with the crowds, but nevertheless, the same booths (and even more) are back this year!

My favorite places hands down to visit have to be the food booths. My top two favorite each year are The Baked Cheese House and the Berlin Döner Kebab Booth. Also, I've been wanting to try the Helmut's Original Austrian Strudel but the line is always so long! It's so much fun to walk around and check out all the booths. Also, this year, there is a light show where City Hall is which is nice to check out in the evening. And lastly, don't forget to take a family photo in front of the Christmas Tree!

For my outfit, I kept things simple with a warm ruffle sweater, jeans, and OTK boots. I linked a few ruffle sleeve sweaters below.

Philadelphia Rooftop

White Lace Top: Zara / Jeans: Banana Republic (Similar) / Handbag: Saint Laurent
Watch: Movado Bold / Sunglasses: H&M (Similar) / Heels: Sam Edelman

On Sunday my husband and I decided to spend some time on our rooftop in Philadelphia since the weather was warm with such a nice breeze (as you can tell from my hair blowing in the photos!). We finished decorating our rooftop a few weeks ago with outdoor string lights and a very comfortable L-Shaped couch with an ottoman. We just love to spend time up there especially in the afternoon or in the evening when the sun is setting. We have an amazing view of the Philadelphia skyline and it never gets old! 

I linked a few other white lace tops below that I am totally crushing on!
