#ShareTheSpark with Sweet & Spark and Philly Blog Love!

When I say that nearly my entire jewelry collection is vintage, I mean it. Years upon years of visits to flea markets, thrift stores and consignment shops (plus a few digs through my Nana’s jewelry box) have resulted in quite the collection that I am consequently quite proud of! There is literally no better feeling than getting a compliment while wearing a one of a kind piece that they are not mass producing at Forever21 (love you, though, F21). But accumulating a collection like mine takes, frankly, a lot of time, effort, and passion. So if you’re looking to quickly add some snazzy vintage pieces to your wardrobe, my way is not the way to go. But I have a solution. Obviously.

Sweet & Spark is an online curated vintage jewelry shop founded by Jillian Bremer. Her adorable website, which mainly sells gold jewelry from the 1940’s – 1990’s, is just under a year old. Jillian enlisted the help of her father, Howard, to work as Sweet & Spark’s head buyer (too cute). Howard scours flea markets, yard sales, and antique shops up & down the east coast, finding the best jewels for the site. They offer free shipping & the pricing is reasonable.

I took a peek around Sweet & Spark and picked out some of my favorite one of a kind pieces. Check them out:

So cute, right? Well, now for the fun part. Sweet & Spark, in conjunction with Philly Blog Love, is hosting a trunk show in Rittenhouse this weekend! I can’t wait to see all of the pretty jewelry in person – and get 10% off my purchase!

Small City Living Spaces {Pinspiration 3.0}

I am on a serious home revamp kick lately. As I now enter my second full year in my amazing apartment, I am adding some things to my wishlist (cute pillows & artwork) and getting rid of a lot more (makeup, clothes, magazines, and other hoarder things I accumulate). Actually, I just spent my entire Saturday cleaning & decluttering my apartment. It’s necessary, and feels fantastic. Here are a few of my most recent pinspirational images for apartment bliss.

Another amazing use of upward space for a desk area. Plus, all decorations here are from the Dollar Store.

I am so jealous of this bedroom. This makes having lots of stuff look good.

This is an inexpensive & easy way to decorate your plain, white wall with everything that inspires you.

I have a preoccupation with pretty shelving. These compartments and baskets simplify the amount of storage this offers.

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. 🖤

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 😘).
