Summer Fun in Philly: Movies Under the Stars

Two of my favorite things of all time: going to the movies and being outside in beautiful weather. When there's an opportunity to combine them, all the better. Lucky for you and me, different venues all over Philadelphia offer just that, movies under the stars.

  Fun for the whole family:




The Schuylkill Banks Movie Night is a summer series presented by CSX. Bring a blanket, and get there early (movies starts at dusk, 7:45/8:30) for free snacks.

June 14, 2012: The Muppets
June 28, 2012: King Kong (1933 version)
July 12, 2012: Footloose (1984 version)
July 26, 2012: O Brother, Where Art Thou?
August 9, 2012: The Incredibles
August 23, 2012: Moneyball

Perfect for date night:

 Last June, I went with friends to Bistro La Minette for their summer movie series, "Dinner and French Movies Al Fresco". Hidden behind this lovely french restaurant, is a small courtyard where they show French films with English subtitles. Seats are limited, so reservations are a must. It was one of my all-time favorite things I did last summer! It's not to be missed!

For those of you who may not want to travel too far, why not host your own movie under the stars with your very own inflatable outdoor movie screen? Invite your friends over for some BBQ, sit back, and watch your favorite films projected on to your own big screen. Just know, I want an invite.


Don't worry, I'll bring the popcorn.

RadStitch at Concrete Polish



This weekend, our friends at Radlands are introducing RadStitch, their new line of hand dyed and altered pieces for men and women, which are all hand produced in Philadelphia. The line is a collaboration with Linda Smyth of Rabid Fox Jewelry and TopStitch Boutique and will feature innovative dye techniques in a range of cuts and styles.

The pop up shop is going down this Sunday, June 10th, from 12 to 6 pm at Concrete Polish in Northern Liberties. New jewelry by Rabid Fox and Concrete Polish will also be offered. Gabonghi, Yolo Ono and BHB will be providing the tunes as you sip on beer-mosas provided by Narragansett and home made summer sangria. Due to the one of a kind hand dying process, Radlands will only be producing a limited number of pieces to ensure garments of the best quality. Don't miss out on these gems!

Artist studio inspiration...

 Check out this rad little artist shack my friends made from reclaimed/recycled materials. It is available for rent if you are lucky enough to live in the SF/Oakland area. Pretty inspiring space.

Keep it green!

Relax

























































 The most relaxing thing in the world is lounging in hot springs! I had the pleasure of taking a break from snowboarding a couple years ago in Colorado and dove to the hot springs. Now I am determined to see how many I can visit.
A lady always deserves a little pampering!
