One of the perks of living in Baltimore is now we are a drive away from many cities we haven’t visited before! Some friends recently moved to Philadelphia so we took a long weekend trip up to stay with them and explore the city. The last time I was in Philly I was in college and this was Danny’s first time. My girlfriend reminded us that on the first Sunday of each month, The Barnes Foundation offers free admission! So Danny and I got up early to stand in line for tickets and returned after lunch for our 1 p.m. entrance time. Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis, so I highly recommend getting there a little before 9 a.m.
The Barnes Foundation is home to one of the world’s leading collections of French impressionist and post-impressionist paintings, including many works by Renoir, Cezanne and Matisse. Danny and I are both huge lovers of French impressionism so we knew we needed to visit. Seriously, this museum is as gorgeous of the inside as it is on the outside. I loved the surrounding gardens and reflection pools; they made for a quiet place to spend the afternoon. You completely forget you are in the center of a major city!
A lace top is a extremely versatile piece and this Club Monaco top is by far my favorite. While I am wearing last year's top, they currently have a new version that is almost identical here. You can pair it with a skirt for a uber feminine feel or dress it down with jeans and a scarf for a casual outing. Also, check out the most adorable place, Lil' Pop Shop and Cafe, for instagram-worthy decor and refreshing popsicles as an afternoon snack!
