So…You’re Moving to Philadelphia! {Picking Your First Hood}

Earlier this week, I shared my Philadelphia apartment hunting tips. Today, I’d like to give my response to the other question I get most frequently: where should I live? Picking your first Philly neighborhood is such a treat, because this city is known for its special, unique hoods. We truly do have a place for every human and every budget here, but when I’m recommending a place for a city newcomer, I typically stick with a select few. If your neighborhood is not mentioned here, don’t worry – I’ve got another piece featuring some Philly ladies repping their hoods – all over the city!

So…You’re Moving to Philadelphia! {The Apartment Hunt}

Before I say anything else: welcome! Philadelphia is a city I am pretty much obsessed with in every way possible (except this one). If the journey of moving to a new city seems overwhelming to you, you are not alone. Since I’ve started blogging, the question I see most frequently always has to do with moving to the city, and it is: where. do. I. start? And the answer, hopefully, is here!

Small City Living Spaces {Pinspiration 4.0}

With spring right around the corner, I am getting refreshed & renewed determination for fun apartment revamps. I am desperately in need of a closet clean out (speaking of which, how do you all feel about a blogger “closet” sale? Would you come? Send me your thoughts please, thx.) and I have several things on my wishlist: rug(s), a bar cart, and (yes) a TV. So, in my never-ending quest for inspiration, looking through how to organize your room tips online, here are some images I’ve been loving lately.

Nicolette Mason‘s entire apartment is amazing, but I especially love this bookshelf of ‘organized chaos.’

This ‘bedroom’ is proof that with a little imagination & some inspiration, it’s easy to utilize all of your space to the fullest.

These crates are perfect customizable storage units that take advantage of vertical space & work well for temporary living quarters (ie, rented city apartments). I love the color of those walls too! Wonder if they used peel and stick wallpaper for it? So do I. And look at how cozy that space is

Utilizing every inch of wall space is something essential for me in my small apartment. I also love the complementing colors of this room and the cute fairy lights. Lighting can make a big difference to a room, and this lighting adds a magical quality. Lighting from somewhere like www.neonfilter.com, on the other hand, is perfect for a modern living room you’re looking to brighten up with some jazzy colour.

A white comforter (thanks mom!) makes all the difference – it gives the room a free & clean feeling. Amazing use of those shelves, too.

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.

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?!
