Happy 2nd Birthday Her Philly!

So here we are . . . two years since I hit “publish” on my first post, back in 2012. Writing this blog started from a little idea to get out and explore my city, and it turned into so much more. I am so. thankful. for all of the experiences I’ve had and friends I’ve made over the past two years, so obviously, we’re celebrating!!!

happy birthday

First thing’s first: Her Philly’s got a new look! I have been lusting (and I mean lusting) after a simple, black and white theme for quite some time now. After so much Etsy searching and a whole lot of tweaking, I’ve got it looking pretty damn close to how I pictured. The most important thing is that my font is now Georgia – the only font I’ve used for anything since 2002. At least my priorities are in order.

Next up in celebration week: PRIZES! If you’ve been reading since last year, you’ll remember my birthday giveaway week, filled with lots and lots of amazing prizes that all happened to be from some of my favorite places in the city. This year, the prizes will be bigger and I’m spotlighting five brands you all know I love. The giveaways will start next Monday, but if you want to get a jump start on entries . . .

I’d love if you filled out my first ever reader survey! I absolutely looove hearing from you ladies, so instead of the generous feedback you all give me when I ask, I thought I’d put something a little more formal together. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to influence what gets published on the blog, so if you’ve ever thought: “I really liked that post – I wish there were more like that” or even “W.O.W. – I wish Emily would stop doing that,” now’s the time to speak up. The best part is, if you finish the survey and submit your email address, you’ll snag yourself an entry to each giveaway next week. It’s 10 questions and will take only a few moments and would make me the HAPPIEST blogging birthday girl on the planet if you filled it out. THANK YOU.

In conclusion, thank you all for an amazing two years. The addition of blogging in my life has been so great for me, and I am so appreciative for each and every time you’ve visited Her Philly. Here’s to many more! xx

Tonight was the best feeling of trying something n Tonight was the best feeling of trying something new. ⛳️ (I’m now looking up golf puns and I love how many have the word “putter” in them. 🥹🖤). 

My gal pal @calisonx and I took a ladies beginner golf clinic at @linwoodcc tonight. We both had absolutely never played golf past mini golf on the boardwalk… so this was fun & new. The late summer weather was simply stunning & on top of that, our class included THREE glasses of wine. 😅🍷

It was fun to get a new outfit (duh) and be in a social place that’s not a bar. My dad thinks this is where I will meet my future husband so let’s all send me some good vibes for that. 😉

I’m excited to take another class & learn more. 🏌🏻‍♀️Are any of you golfing girls? Would love to hear your tips on how to get into it (and/or meet your husband at the golf course.) 😉

What a gorgeous Philly evening to welcome three Je What a gorgeous Philly evening to welcome three Jersey gals for a little theatre (thanks to @kimmelculturalcampus!). My mom, sister, and I met to see @thelionking at @academymusicphl and it was simply *phenomenal.* 

We both found quick weeknight after 5pm parking at nearby lots ($16!) and had time for dinner & @vanleeuwenicecream before the play. 

The show is better than you could ever expect - the actors are just so talented (especially young Simba & Nala! The best part was watching the little kidsss enjoy it, too (three little boys in front of us were raising their Simba doll merch up at the end- so unreal 🥹). The show is so worth seeing while it’s here (now through 9/10!). 

A huge thanks to @kimmelculturalcampus for the beautiful Philly night out. 🖤

The most fun summer friday girls day in @asburypar The most fun summer friday girls day in @asburyparknow. 💕 We shopped (I scooped up quite a haul from @rebelsupplyap @foolishgingernjlqpwp @freedomrocksco & @backwardglances). We ate a delicious lunch at @capitoline_ap. We had happy hour drinks at @lovehomesick & @thewonderbarofficial and just bebopped til we dropped on yesterday’s gorgeous August day. 

I was wearing this @eloquii x @nuuly bright orange romper and definitely got a new photo for my @bumble (thx @linnybrice 😘).
