"You can quote me on this"

I LOVE reading blogs, especially when the authors write about a variety of things. I love furniture and decor, but I get bored if its ONLY that or handmade birds and doll posts all the time! I find blogs with variety MUCH more interesting, they keep me reading and coming back. Since I don't ever know what they will post next, that element of surprise is intriguing to me. Here are 4 blogs I chose out of the many I read....that really stand out. Although two of these aren't even in English, the photos alone, keep me coming back. So, what type of blogs do you enjoy coming back to?? Enjoy your weekend! (All blog links below photo)

Personal Shots

I've been wanting to re-decorate a section of my home and I'm thinking of bringing in more wall art or accessories of some sort. I just haven't had the time to get it done. So busy with classes and my business so my decor skills are on hold. Anyhow here are things I shot today in my home, including my boxer who always has a sad look, but looked so cute next to my ABC Love digital print.

My New Calvin Klein Flats

I bought 2 pairs of shoes yesterday - since I'm ditching about 5-6 pairs that I don't wear anymore. Here's one of the shoes I bought. These are totally my style as far as flats go and they're sooo comfortable! It's HARD to find cute flats sometimes, so I'm glad I found these pretty little Calvin Kleins! Best of all they were on sale!

Ditching the shoes

I swear I've been thinking about donating some older shoes I haven't worn in ages to Salvation Army. Funny thing is, there are probably about 6 pairs I DON'T wear anymore because they're sooo dated. I LOVE shoes and maybe that's why I haven't been able to get rid of them, even when I know I'm not wearing them. Is that terrible? I'm sure my old shoes can make someone else quite happy. Anyhow, in order to get rid of 6, I feel I must buy at least 3. haha! Here are some from JCREW I have my eye on!!

Always impressing me!

I've posted about Shoot Factory in the past and wanted to bring them up again for people who've never heard of this brilliant website. The concept is so interesting, they shoot locations (not just locations, but AMAZING ones) where photographers or magazine crews can shoot in for editorials etc. Most of their locations are in LONDON, with the exception of a few international properties. Awesome eye-candy if you love looking at interiors as well. Visit ShootFactory.

From a Paris reader.....

I was so happy when I received this cute little t-shirt in the mail from one of my readers. She bought some cards from my shop and was sweet enough to send me a gift all the way from Paris!! The t-shirt reads: "what's wrong with being pretty?". I think it should have also said "and smart". ha! I LOVE IT Eva, thank you for your kind words and the thoughtful gift!

Other people's LOVE letters

I bought this book a week ago and was finally able to finish reading it yesterday. Its the coolest book....its funny, touching and captivating. It inspired me to share a personal post-it note (green one down below) my guy left for me at one point. He wrote me many, but I'll share this one for now. I recommend this book if you're curious to see what others express in letters, text messages and email. They are other people's intimate LOVE letters.... and they've decided to share them with the world. The book is called " Other People's Love Letter" -'150 letters you were never meant to see'. Available at your local bookstore.

People We LOVE

I came across this site "The Ones we LOVE" via one of my favorite blogs, A Cup of Joe. This site is so well put together and all about the ones we love. It highlights quite a few talented photographers and each of these talents contributes 6 photos of the person who is the MOST important to them! The portraits are mostly shot outside and each photographer writes an intro about that shoot or person...some are very sweet and some are obviously not so....perhaps some heartbreak?? Take a look for yourself. Some samples of what some of the shooters wrote about their subject. I fell in love with this site and actually went through every single name.....!
