    Hello I’m Heidi and I’m new to your blog but I like to read blogs because my job is boring and I need stimulation in my daily life!!!!

    I read blogs for inspiration, entertainment and to connect with the geniuses behind them:)

    I’m not following the rules here. Forgive me. Just wanted to say that Elie is one of my absolute FAVS (actually both Elies). Do you read the blog? I find it quite enjoyable.

    I am addicted to blogs and write/read them because 1. it is a great way to catalog your inspirations and have a creative outlet 2. if I didn’t I never would have met you and so many other new friends 3. it is better than magazines and coffee for inspiration and to keep up with what’s new in the world of design. I adore blogs!!!! Oh, and I will do anything (that doesn’t have legal ramifications) for that gold dress.

    Blogs like yours are incredibly inspiring. Case in point: New curtains in my living room just pulled the whole room together. We’re never going to be “done,” but my blog content consumption keeps me motivated to continue the improvements. It’s fun. Some of my fav’s? Coco & Kelly, ApartmentTherapy, LovingLivingSmall and of course yours.

    I read blogs to get inspiration for my home!

    I read them for inspiration for design, makeup/hair tips, parenting tips and to get a glimpse into others lives (better than a reality show)!

    I read blogs to get inspired and it’s best with coffee in the morning!

    um I read blogs because, like this exact one, I love the pretties, the tips, the suggestions, the behind-the-scenes info from great mommies, design woman and cooks! I love the “personal” respect you build through pictures and words – love love love blog world! and you blog is exactly all this :)

    Because you find the clothes and decor items I want sooner than I do!!

  12. Tina says

    I read blogs to get inspiration for my whole life! I find out so much information I wouldn’t have otherwise – regarding decor, clothing, organizing, remodeling, etc. I used to turn to magazines for this, but I find blogs to be much more reality-based.

  13. Jessica Bennett says

    March 22, 2011 at 1:13 pm

    I read blogs because they are a fabulous distraction from doing your work!! :)

    what a fun giveaway! thank you!

    i’m guessing i’m a blog addict for all of the same reasons everyone else is — the endless inspiration. it’s fun to see the different tastes and styles of other creative people….and, of course, what’s hot!

    This is so exciting Erika!
    I only read design blogs and it’s to feel inspired!

    I just experienced an elie-gasm! I’m addicted to blogs because it’s a cheaper habit than shopping and alcohol ;)

  17. Maggie says

    March 22, 2011 at 10:58 pm

    Because I love connecting with other creative females out there! You all inspire me so (and this goes for all the bloggers who have commented above!)

  18. Jessica N says

    March 23, 2011 at 5:37 am

    Design blogs to me are like some people’s coffee fix. I like to start my day being inspired by beautiful images and ideas.

  19. Liz says

    March 24, 2011 at 12:54 pm

    It’s going to be me, I just know it! I read blogs because I live in a very non-hip location (for work) that feels very far away from the world of design. I need to be connected somehow!

  20. ashley white says

    March 25, 2011 at 7:52 am

    beautiful! i read blogs for inspiration… and, because after a while you feel like you connect and really appreciate people’s design advice. thanks for the giveaway!

    I read blogs for many reasons, but mostly for Inspiration and to keep up to date on the latest designers, trends, ideas, fashion, furniture, accessories & shopping locations. Reading my blogs is just another necessary part of my daily life that keeps me happy…much like drinking coffee :)

    Congrats on your first giveaway! I read your blog because you are seriously one inspirational, creative and talented girl! I look forward to the small shop e-mails in my inbox to see what you’ve come up with! I’m so happy I found your fabulous corner of the Internet!

    I, too, am obsessed with that gold dress!

    I love to get fashion inspirations from the blogs I read.

  24. Sarah S says

    March 26, 2011 at 8:51 pm

    I read blogs because I love how creative most people are. They take the time to look for ideas and collect them and show me! Awesome!

  25. Aparajita says

    March 29, 2011 at 4:50 am

    I like blogs since they’re an informal way of expressing your views on various things such as fashion, people etc and they’re fun to read :D

  26. Leslie Hunnicutt says

    March 29, 2011 at 10:36 am

    I read blogs because they have sooo many great ideas that normal people can use in their own homes! Also, I like to support FRIENDS!!! KAOS will never DIE!!! =)

  27. Stephanie Dye says

    March 30, 2011 at 7:58 am

    I read blogs to escape daily life and dream for a while :)

  28. Faith Hobson says

    October 3, 2012 at 8:45 pm

    I read blogs because it gives me a sense of enjoyment. It’s fun to read about things that may give me enjoyment, more intelligence, or it just may broaden my knowledge on a topic. Knowledge is power, and the internet blogs are my friends. :)
