blove.

Bloggers have this habit of combining words and I'd call it annoying but I do it too. And nothing I do is annoying, hence the birth of the word BLOVE. Blove represents Blog Love and I have so, so much of it. And because I have such a deep and mildly creepy love for so many of you on a personal level, this is hard you guys! Please feel free to slay me in the comments.
Day 19 - 5 of your favorite blogs and what you love about them.



A girl, A Story, A Blog.

Like I could even think about not including this lady when she is the reason I am participating in this madness at all. Have you met Shay? Go now. Go read her extraordinary posts that will make you laugh, take your breath away, and break your heart — sometimes all at once. She is brave. She is beautiful. And she rocks those headscarves like a mofo. 

Because Shanna Said So

This fiesty little lady is one of the few fashion bloggers I religiously follow. Her style is flawless and at times daring, but on a normal-ass budget. She has inspired me countless times to look through my closet and combine things I normally wouldn't. And I recently found out that even my older sister follows her on instagram. Basically, Shanna is MAJOR.

Dysfunctional Ever After

As a longtime blog-reader, I know that I really like a blog when I think that I would read it if I wasn't part of the blogging community. Samm has that kind of blog. She's not cliquey. She posts on a variety of topics. She's funny and can be serious when she needs to be. And you guys, she pays attention to current events which wins my heart in such a serious way. AND. And if I didn't stalk Samm, I wouldn't have ever found my souldrunk, Shangin.

Little White Whale

It is no secret that I have an online window-shopping problem and Gloria totally feeds that addiction! I don't know how she finds these items, but her gift guides and Friday's Grab Bags are the definition of fabulousness. 

Sillygrrl

This is my go-to site for blogging/design tips and when I develop the patience to design or code for myself, I will definitely be purchasing Sarah's book. She also wrote one of my favorite posts of all time, How to get off the blogging bandwagon. READ IT. ALL OF YOU. Also, as if she needs to be more fabulous, she quit her job and freelances AND joined the circus. What an inspiration!
