Lovely Blogs

Lucy is so incredibly talented and creative.  Her blog, { a black pepper } is definitely a source of inspiration for me.  It’s as if I slip into her world when I read her posts – and what a beautiful, calm, and creative world she shares with us.

Not only are her pictures amazing, but she knits and designs beautiful garments and hats.  The images of her creations make me what to learn to knit!  I am inspired by her talent and the love that radiates from her blog.

And lucky for us – Lucy also has a handknit design gallery, where you’ll find a list of her designs and patterns.  For more of her gorgeous photography, please see her photography blog, under baobab.  And if you would like to purchase her work, please head over to her etsy shop!

What’s the feather report?  Fashion + Weather = Feather Report!

Ok, this has be one of favorite blogs – especially when I need inspiration for what to wear.  Complete outfits paired perfectly with shoes and accessories!

Each day, to prepare you for the week, Feather Report breaks down the forecast into style inspiration that actually makes sense.

Check out Feather Report for yourself – what I love is that you can search by body type, occasion, or the weather.  What’s more?  There’s an iPhone app!

Whenever I need a little boost of  “beautiful”, I always head to Rosy Inspiration!  The roses presented here are so gorgeous – I love her arrangements and the attention to detail.  Isn’t her home is simply beautiful as well?  And the kicker – all of these roses are from her home garden!

If you ever need inspiration for how present your roses, or if you simply need something to brighten your day, head over to Rosy Inspiration.

Davina has a lovely blog full of amazing images!  There is one particular series that she features every Friday that I look forward to and wanted to share with you -Davina’s Women in Business Series.

Each week, Davina features a woman with her own photography business and she asks the questions that we are all dying to know such as:  How do you create a branding/marketing presence?  What’s your workflow like? What are you most proud of as a business woman? What do you do to keep from feeling overwhelmed?  What 3 products help you stay organized?

And more personal questions: How do you keep your love life fresh and interesting?  What are the 3 most important things you do as a mother?

I love to take a peek into another photographer’s world – you never know what you can learn!

Most of these women featured are pretty established with photography studios and they mainly concentrate on portraiture and weddings, but there is so much to be learned from every type of photography – especially from the female point of view.  Check out her fall lineup of photographers (and submit any questions you may have) here.

Head over to Davina’s women in business series – you won’t be disappointed!

If you like stories and images, you’ll love 1000 words.  You know the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words”?  Well, this blog takes that quite literally.

The idea is simple – Hannah takes a picture which in turn inspires David to write a story.  A story of  1000 words to be exact.  Updated on the 10th of every month, I always look forward to their collaboration.

When I am behind the camera, I often keep this notion in mind.  I strive for my photos to tell a story, to be interpretated in many different ways.

When you have a chance to sit back, relax, and read a bit – head over to 1000 words.  My favorite image and story is June1K.  Go and find yours.

Whenever I need a dose of lovely, I always head over to Pretty Good.  I stumbled upon Mary’s blog months ago, and it is labeled in my reader under “Pretty Things”.  Not only is Mary’s blog absolutely adorable, she is a total sweetheart as well!

Her style is simple, yet beautiful. Images with a special thought included.

My weekend cannot start until I see her “Happy Friday” post!

Pretty Good is definitely one of my favorite blogs! Go.  Be Inspired.
