#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.

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

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?!
