For this better-late-than-never edition of What I Like Wednesday, I’m going to share some of my favorite blogs. I spend WAY too much time reading other people’s blogs when I should be blogging myself. It would really make me feel better if I could share this blog-obsessed burden with someone else, hence this post. While this list is by no means exhaustive (I mean come on, we don’t have THAT much time!), it is a nice little sampling of some of my favorites from different blogging genres.
1) The Pioneer Woman – Witty, fun, educational, and mouth-watering. Ree Drummond (aka Pioneer Woman) is a self-proclaimed “spoiled city girl” turned “domestic country wife” whose days are “spent wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans, and frying calf nuts.” Ree posts fabulous recipes, photography tips, tales from her life on a cattle ranch, and one of the most romantical stories I’ve ever read. :)
2) Garance Dore – Charming, gorgeous, inspiring, light-hearted, and hilarious. Garance Dore is an incredibly talented illustrator, photographer, fashionista, and blogger based in Paris. Visit Garance’s blog if you want to see what’s en vogue right this second in fashion, if you want to be inspired by lovely photos and illustrations, or if you want to have a hearty chuckle at her always-comical internal dialogue.
3) Jasmine Star – Yes, yes, I’ve mentioned Jasmine’s blog before and maybe you’re a little tired of hearing about her, but there’s a reason I keep going back to this blog. Not only does Jasmine update her blog very regularly with stunning photos of amazing weddings and couples in love, but her fun, self-deprecating writing style is refreshingly honest. In just a few short years, she has become one of the most respected photographers in the wedding industry and that is due in no small part to her blog and her ability to utilize social networking to the fullest. I seriously need to take some blogging cues from this girl.
4) PoshDeluxe – Quirky, girly, laugh-out-loud funny, good times. Sarah (aka Posh, aka Posh Pants, aka PoshDeluxe) is the Austin-based friend of a friend who blogs about normal everyday stuff like movies, books, food, travel, and friends, but her writing style is so unique and fun that you can’t help but get sucked in and wish she was your best friend and you could have slumber parties and talk about cute boys and braid each other’s hair.
5) Kuperblog – Unique, stunning, unique and stunning. Those are the words I would use to describe the work of photographer Anna Kuperberg. She has such an amazing eye for composition and produces some of the most unusually gorgeous photographs I’ve ever seen. No two images on her blog are the same. No other photographer does exactly what she does. This is where I go when I need some visual inspiration to be different and daring in my photography.
I hope you’ll check out a few of these blogs and let me know what you think! (P.S. Please leave me comments! They make me so happy!)
And now for my requisite visual offering… I’ve been in baby photographing mode lately, so here are a couple of the lovely and adorable, Scarlett, who was born December 28th.
Much love,
Adrienne
