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

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?!
