Tights: Modcloth
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
Another weekend spent in Philadelphia was just what the doctor ordered for this gal after weeks of feeling a bit of cabin fever and very snowed in here on my little mountainside in this small town. So onto the city we went.
On this particular day, all I was craving was a milkshake - and not any old kind, but rather one of those fabulous homemade kinds with all the bells and whistles. Of course I knew it was meant to be after reading posts from Katie and Hannah that talked about milkshakes and diner trips and all that delicious jazz. So anyhoo, the Mr. and I ventured off in search of the perfect milkshake and that brought us back to Nifty Fifties - a kitschy little spot complete with a jukebox, the best milkshakes in town, and cheese fries to die for. So that's indeed what we had. Banana coconut custard was my flavor. Score. That's all I really needed. I was in total state of bliss. And I lived happily ever after.
Oh and afterwards, we went for a walk at a pretty little park by the water - to burn the calories from our indulgences of course ;-)
The end.
Love bunches darlings,
Beautiful, beautiful combination :)

Nifty fifties is my favorite spot to get fries and a milkshake! I only go there like once or twice a year .... otherwise it'd be dangerous!

Just you saying the flavor of you milkshake- yum! Also, you are so cute in your little houses dress! It is very you.
ReplyDeleteOh my, this dress is as darling as can be! How sweet that your guy got that for you. Ah yes, a milkshake is just what one needs sometimes...and banana coconut-what a fun flavor! Our place has an Elvis flavor that's bananas, peanut butter, and honey but I haven't tried it yet. Also, your backdrops are always so enchanting, a wonderful set of photos all around! Have a blessed day Marisa darling!
