Small City Living Spaces {Pinspiration 5.0}

I’ve lived in my current apartment for almost three years, and it’s time to purge. I have been feeling super claustrophobic lately – I just have too many things for my space. It’s not that I’m a hoarder, I just . . . like to decorate. So, to help me get a reality check and share this winter cleaning bug, I decided to bring back an old series I know many of you loved – small city living spaces pinspiration!

My under the bed organization could seriously use some improvement. It’s actually such a hassle getting out my storage bins that I pretty much avoid it at all costs. I love that this bed is high enough to store a lot and still gives you access from the outside.

The perfect small living room

I’m obsessed with this little living room. So clean, so organized, so bright. Everything has its place, and its place is not strewn across the coffee table (like most of my life mostly is). Although I’d probably have to look for some Reliable steam cleaners to make sure I keep that carpet clean! Knowing me, it’ll probably get all dusty and stained in no time. But I would still love to design this aesthetic for my own place.

How to organize pots and pans

In every woman’s never ending struggle . . . storing pots and pans is still annoying. This little trick is temporary, so it’s perfect for renters, but only solves your situation for a few lids, which is all us single gals need, right?

Tiny bathroom organization

I stared at this photo of a bathroom for an unusually long time. The color scheme. The attention to detail. The matching towels on the awesome shelves using all of that vertical space. I now have bathroom decorating aspirations.

Small apartment tips and tricks

This idea is so simple, yet so amazing to me. If you’re in a studio with a big (small) open space, push a dresser up against your bed, and stack it with pillows. Your bed instantly becomes a movie watching oasis. Please invite me over.

I hope these got you inspired. If you need me, I’ll be listing my clothes on Poshmark, or, binge watching Sons of Anarchy. xx

Good Day Philadelphia

HP on the Gram

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. 🖤

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?!
