A small token of my appreciation!
Enter by posting a comment with your name, and why you read blogs. Winner will be announced next Friday. In the meantime, enjoy these sultry selections from Elie Tahari’s Spring 2011 ad campaign, and picture yourself (or girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever) sexing it up like hot stuff Heidi Mount — and yes, I would kill for this gold dress!
Good luck!! And THANK YOU for humoring me and my obsessions. ;o)

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 love to read blogs for inspiration! I wish I were that creative!
Desiré says
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.
elizabeth says
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.
Sarah Cody says
I read blogs to get inspiration for my home!
Lindsay says
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)!
Erika says
I read blogs to get inspired and it’s best with coffee in the morning!
emma says

Because you find the clothes and decor items I want sooner than I do!!
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.
Jessica Bennett says
I read blogs because they are a fabulous distraction from doing your work!! :)

Jessica N says
Design blogs to me are like some people’s coffee fix. I like to start my day being inspired by beautiful images and ideas.
Liz says
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!
ashley white says

Kim Boutwell says
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 :)

I read blogs to escape daily life and dream for a while :)
Faith Hobson says
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. :)
