Blog Love 2.0

03/27/13 | blog love

Today is my half-birthday and per tradition I get any ice cream of my choice today.  While I wish I could share a bite of the delectable gelato that I will be getting on 5th Avenue after work (yes, from Eataly) instead I am going to share something else, my favorite blogs: 

There are hundreds of blogs I follow but after a year of diligently and daily reading I have found certain ones that I subscribe to by email or make a priority to check every morning to be sure I do not miss any of the advice, outfits, or ideas these brilliant writers share with the world. These women, both real ladies who have the blogging bug and a few professional bloggers, find ways to amaze me everyday. These are my daily reads: 

“Real” Bloggers

YiChia at Always Maylee

Brandi at Brooklyn State of Mind

Fabrizia at Cosa mi metto???

Sonia at Daring Coco
Anna at  Fashion Boulevard

Niki at Glossy Blonde 

Alyssa at The Glossy Life 


Lauren & Marika at The Golden Girls
Diana at LA by Diana 

Rachel at Life Unsweetened

Kelly at Messy Dirty Hair

Tarole at One Haole Girl


Tasha at Twenty-Something

Power House Professionals

Blair at Atlantic Pacific

Emily at Cupcakes and Cashmere

Taza at Love Taza

Wendy at Wendy’s Lookbook

Courtney at What Courtney Wore



I really hope you take a look through these blogs, or at least bookmark the page, and you enjoy them as much as I do! And from the Blogger statistics I know that you all flock to the “Blog Love” page of my site so I decided to bring it front and center today, but you usually can find it here: 



Ps.  I think this is my first post ever without a photo but I really wanted to do all of these ladies justice!
