A Few Blogs of Note

I've been taking the time to do some work on my own blog recently, and in the process I can't help but find more and more blogs that I love. Whether for inspirational or networking purposes, I spend lots of time looking at what's out there and am constantly falling in love with new bloggers.

Some old, some new, these are just a sampling of the many blogs I have come to know and love. Some of these are blogger pros that I'm sure you've come across in your travels, but I think they're worthy of a little bit of recognition just in case you haven't checked their sites out yet. Others are yet-to-be-discovered by the masses, original and delightful blogs that you may not have yet heard of. What are some of your favorite blogs to visit?

Currently, my absolute favorite blog. Olivia is still a college student but an accomplished Etsy seller, an editor of online magazine Southern Flourish, and a talented photographer. Her posts are pretty photo-heavy and will have you envying her in no time. From snapshots taken of delicious meals enjoyed at Charleston restaurants to posts about her delightful circle of family and friends, Everyday Musings is a lifestyle blog that I wish I could emulate!

I came across this blog just a few days ago and the first post I saw was all about reader's quirks. She has a Quirk Project during which she has readers write about some of their most interesting and quirky of quirks. I immediately fell in love. She's got some great photos and is absolutely adorable - another great lifestyle blog!

If it wasn't for this girl, I probably wouldn't be blogging today. Sarah and I met in college and since then she's been a great source of inspiration and encouragement with both my blog and my Etsy shop. She's got a great heart, a delightfully one-of-a-kind aesthetic, and a whole lot of crafting talent. Expect to find a whole host of topics on TeacupAdventure, from accounts of her world travels to outfit posts, craft updates, and a whole lot more, Sarah's blog is completely original and totally true to this wonderful girl's lifestyle!

I came across the Red Velvet Girls early in my life as a blogger and was particularly drawn to Emma's mostly recipe blog. Although she peppers her endeavors in the kitchen with a few lifestyle posts and book reviews, the majority of her content is food-centric. She recently started her own catering company and has quite the sweet tooth! Expect to find beautiful photos of indulgent treats accompanied by the recipes so you can test them out for yourself!

Though I'm still exploring Seasoned With Youth, I can't help but love this blog. Samantha writes all about her explorations of the world. Currently traveling internationally, her posts abound with images, experiences, and more all about her travels from Italy to Morocco, Spain, Germany, and all around the U.S. too. Definitely a great read for those of you who are fettered down by certain restraints (ie. a job, money, kids, etc.) - if you can't travel, at least you can explore vicariously through Samantha!

Kelly Ann is the lady behind The Flowerchild Dwelling and I absolutely adore her posts! From Music Mondays to Favorite Things Tuesday and Film Fridays, she covers a wide range of cultural topics and takes beautiful pictures to boot. Her blog has a very vintage- and DIY-feel to it that I love, and is truly a feast for the eyes and ears.

  6. Hi Laura, just came over for a "look-see" after your comment on Benita's blog. I've also recently being opening up other blogs that are mentioned on others. Benita @ Chez Larsson was the first blog I started following and after a number of years is still a very firm favourite. Another firm favourite is Sarah from www.abeachcottage.com Haven't come across those you have mentioned but will pop on over.
