My Favorite Blogs

A friend left a comment with a link to a great blog.  I've decided to let you guys in on all the blogs I follow on a regular basis. 

Le Quaintrelle
It's this super cute girl, who posts what she wears almost everyday. And she does this awesome thing called "From Runway to Hallway"  where she takes a runway collection and duplicates the outfits with clothes she already has in her closet.  It's a great way to find new ways to wear the clothes you already own.  I should try this...  I pretty much check this blog everyday. (she's on my igoogle page)

Made By Girl
I'm not really sure what to say about this one.  This is one of the ones I look at around once a week, I just know that I like it. 

Peacock Feathers
I am absolutely in love with this blog.  I read it only once a weekish, but I go back and look at every stinkin' post.  I love this girl's style.  It's probably my fav.

What I Wore
This was the first blog I started reading and while I only check it about once a month, I still like it.  She's having a give-a-way right now.  I might actually try my luck at that one. 

How About Orange
This was the link that my friend gave me and I really like it.  I'm kind of jealous of the lady, because I found out she became a fabric/ribbon designer simply from having her blog.  How cool is that???  I want to design fabric!

Sea of Shoes
I just found this one last night, but I think I'm going to really like it.  I went back pretty far looking at old blogs.  My advice if you check out this blog, go past the first page and start looking.  She normally posts about what she wears, which is some pretty amazing stuff, but the first page is about a recent trip to Tokyo and doesn't really show what the blog is all about.  She does have an absolutely amazing collection of shoes.  Kind of Jealous.

Those are all blogs of people I have no clue who they are and I will never meet, but stalk every day.  These next few blogs are people I know personally and check there blogs out on a regular basis. 

Needle in the Haystack
I've known Jessica forever and she is one of the best people I know.  I absolutely adore her and her sense of humor.  Plus, she's an awesome graphic designer.  I'm sure you've heard me mention her before! (also on my igoogle page)

Mommy's Heart
This is my best friend's sister-in-law.  She used to be a stay-at-home-mom and blog on a regular basis, but now she has a "big girl" job and her posts are sporadic. I keep her on my igoogle page though, because when she does blog, it's good stuff.

Famous People Crushing

I am without a doubt in love with Ben Harper.  He's been my fav for at least 10 years now, if not more.  I'm actually going to see him Sunday.  I'm super excited. I haven't seen him in about 3 years, so I know he's excited, too.  It's going to be great.  Just me and him.  And The Relentless 7. And my brother and his girlfriend.  And thousands of other people.  But all of this is just the same old story for most of you. 

I could usually give two craps about famous people.  I've never hung a teen heartthrobs poster on my wall.  (Okay, maybe JTT, but that was just poor judgment)  And normally, I don't develop crushes on people I've never met (besides Ben Harper and John Stamos and I guess if we're going to go back 20 years, JTT) However, I was watching Oprah today (something I RARELY do) and this rapper/singer guy comes on stage and pays off two peoples mortgages in full.  They were weeks away from losing their house in foreclosure.  And he was super shy and said the reason why he wanted to make so much money was to help people out.  So, I am OFFICIALLY in love with will.i.am.  Yep, that will.i.am.  I'm not really sure what he does outside of helping people. Obviously, I know he sings and makes music, but I can't name any off the top of my  head.  Nonetheless, he's a pretty awesome guy in my book now.  He also started a foundation called "i.am home"    Go check out his video and website and if you have a few bones left over, go donate. 

*Warning*  Watching the video might result in a slight crush with will.i.am.
