An Ode to Little Pete’s

My dear Little Pete’s (219 South 17th Street), how I love thee. We were introduced several years ago, when times were different, but you have remained constant. You’re always there, 24/7, when it’s early and I can’t seem to get out of bed or make myself an omelet quite like you do, or when it’s late, and I need something fried and delicious served to me in under 10 minutes after a long night of drinking.

The best times when it’s around 10 – 11 am, super cold out, on a Saturday, when I need the weekend more than ever. And a coffee. And guaranteed good food no matter what. That’s when you’re the best.

It makes me smile that I can get to you in a 10 minute walk, no driving to South Philly, or even Jersey for that matter, required. Sure, I have to wait for you sometimes, but that just means you’re worth it. 24/7 Philadelphia dinerI think if I ever had to move away from you, separation anxiety would ensue. In my two and a half years in this city, you’ve proved yourself to be irreplaceable.

I’d like to end with a very special quote I found that truly sums up our relationship: “Sometimes, someone comes into your life, so unexpectedly, takes your heart by surprise, and changes your life forever.” There has never been a truer statement. Love ya, Peter.

Happy Valentine’s Day, my friends! 🥰 I have b Happy Valentine’s Day, my friends! 🥰 I have been trying to do more things as a single lady that I’d like to do if I had a partner. And also recognize all the things that make me a good partner. I’m okay being solo today (well, with Putter of course 😉), but I deserve some love today, too. So here’s my love letter to me. 🖤

Emily, I love how you never go somewhere new without researching the best spots. I love how you’re not afraid of color and all. the. prints. I love how close you are with your family. I love how you’re pretty funny (if you do say so yourself). I love how you try new things, even when they scare you. I love how you truly have experienced growth as an adult since going to therapy. I love how you discovered “I’m doing the best I can” is really good enough. And I love how you are starting to learn what you deserve. Let’s get it. 🖤

Come take a peek inside the brand new @thirdlove C Come take a peek inside the brand new @thirdlove Center City store! #MyThirdLove #ThirdLovePartner 

I was so excited to hear ThirdLove opened a store on Walnut Street because, as much as you guys knowwww I love a good online shop & try on, bras do give me a bit of pause when I haven’t been measured in store. The new Philly location gives us truly the best of both worlds. 

If you are looking for a reason to shop, ThirdLove is offering Her Philly gals 15% off with code EMILY15 - either in-store or online - now through 2/15! Get those Valentine’s Day goods! 😘

Keep watching to see my experience with my incredible fit stylists & which ThirdLove bras were my favorite. I know a lot of you are fans of the brand - any pieces I must try next?!
