Happy Valentines day! As you know I’m flying the solo flag once again this year so instead of wallowing I’m sharing some love…BLOGGER love *hahahaha*. I found this tag thank to Jennie, who in turn got it originally from Make-Up Savvy and decided to give it a go too…
What was the first blog you ever came across?
I’m pretty sure it was either The Sartorialist, Red Carpet Fashion Awards or an now defunct blog called I love Fashion.
Favourite beauty blog reads.
The Beauty Milk, Nouvelle Daily and ETC LLYMRS. Three blogs that I can always rely on for straightforward and to the point beauty reviews.
Best blogging friend(s)
My IRL best friend Kath (Sensitivity & Flair) and my fabulous blog co-captain Erin (E-Elise)
Name a blog that enables your purchases.
Daisybutter – dammit Michelle! – also Blogger’s Bookshelf cos y’know…books.
5 blogs everyone should be reading.
Temporary: Secretary: For all things feminine fashion & beauty
Thoroughly English: For drool-worthy food posts & recipes
Elevatormusik: For must-follow lifestyle posts
I Believe In Story: For lit-inspired posts & insights into publishing
Delightfully Tacky: For quirky, girl-next-door style inspiration
Your favourite way to read blogs.
BlogLovin’s my go-to for blog updates, it’s super easy to scroll through on the computer and I’ve just started getting back into the android app too.
Bloggers that inspire you.
Becky Bedbug: Becky is so fearless, isn’t afraid to state her opinion and has a fantastic writing style.
The Man Repeller: Again, Leandra’s a fantastically confident lady with a kick-ass sense of humour that just bleeds through into her writing.
Style Bubble: Susie knows fashion and you leave her blog posts feeling like you’ve been schooled in Sartorial 101.
A Rosie Outlook: Lovely and down to earth, Rosie’s blog is not only a must read for fashion and beauty picks but her posts on health and fitness are truly inspirational.
Favourite blog design/look.
I’m never too fussed about this, my favourite blogs range from the most minimal to beautifully decorative, though I have a serious love for Carrie’s (WishWishWish) blog design.
What is your favourite thing about blogging?
Having an outpost to write about whatever I like – without having to chew the ears off my friends and family – and getting to meet the the amazing people I’ve met through this little corner of the Internet
*awwww soppy sentence is soppy*
Name a blogger you would most like to see write a book in the future.
Toss up between Anjali (L&P to English Tea) writing a travel guide and a fashion/NYC book from Hallie (Corals + Cognacs)
Over to you guys! Spread some love in the community and take the tag on!
