This past Saturday, my girls and I headed over to NoMa to attend VinoFest 2015 to indulge in our favorite things: wine, dancing, great weather, people watching and music. This was my very first wine festival of any kind and I can honestly say that I am now hooked. I want to attend as many music festivals as I can this summer and am really contemplating Roots Picnic in Philly after vibing to QuestLove! I have such a new found love for all things Philly but still have not had a cheesesteak… Geno’s here I am come!
From the minute I got the invite to this event, I knew I wanted to wear my new gladiator sandals from JustFab. If you read my blog, you know my struggle with my 16.5 inch athletic calves and its nearly impossible to find knee high anything that fits me comfortably. Enter JustFab and these laced up Louisa sandals and I and my calves were in love. Add an all white outfit to showcase my sunkissed skin from days at the Vida Fitness Penthouse Pool Club in DC and I was festival ready!
Being new to this whole festival lifestyle… what are some great ones to attend in the DC, Baltimore and Philly area? I cannot wait to hear all of your suggestions… talk to me 😉

Bummed I couldn’t make this like I had initially thought. Ah well. I’ll just live vicariously through recaps of this event. Glad you bad a blast. Festivals are the best! Meanwhile, I’ll be at the Roots Picnic! Hopefully, you decide to come through.
I having been eyeing those sandals on JustFab and had decided I was either going to get them or the lace up heels this month. The one thing I was worried about was the fit cause I am apart of that thick calf life so this is real good to know. Thanks! You look gorgeous and like you had so much fun!! I am definitely a wine festival lover. Wine festival, wine tasting, drinking a glass while relaxing on the couch, okay maybe I stop now. LOL

Looks like a great time! I’ll be at The Roots Picnic this month and depending on who is performing, I may be heading to Made In America Festival in Philly again this year. It’s always a great time!
