When we discovered Rachel and Franco DiCarlo, a super-chic, powerhouse couple living in Saucon Valley, we knew we had to feature them in our pages—and in a big way. Rachel is the vice president of public relations for American Eagle and Aerie and currently leads the PR and talent/influencer strategy for Aerie as well as for the company's Offline and Unsubscribed brands. Franco has worked in the upper levels of high-profile fashion brands like Armani, Valentino and Calvin Klein, and he recently transformed an old auto garage into a cool and inviting restaurant in Hellertown, The PA House, where the vibes are fun and dancing is encouraged. Oh, and did I mention they were married at the Vatican, and their day was featured in Vogue Weddings and Martha Stewart Weddings?
They are incredible both on paper and in person. Our team spent the day on set with Rachel and Franco and we were blown away by their effortless style, their charisma, their genuine warmth—and their ability to whip up any espresso-based beverage one might desire. We enjoyed Aperol Spritzes around the outdoor fireplace and talked about a lot of the big stuff—what a work-life balance looks like for them, their approach to raising children, self-reflection, manifestation and Rachel's ability to wake up and hit the happy button in her brain. We left inspired, and so grateful to spend the day inside their home. On pg. 34, they're welcoming readers inside as well, and I know after reading their story, you'll feel the same way we did. And of course, visit them at The PA House, where they're serving up wood-fired, artisanal pizzas (among many, many other delicious items) and prosecco on tap.
If you find yourself hungry for more (and we hope you do!), turn to pg. 72, where we've rounded up 27 of the Valley's most incredible brunch offerings.
