Hello! Happy Monday! We're starting this week off with my new blogstar series, introducing you to some of my favorite blogs! First up is an absolute every day favorite of mine, so I'm thrilled to start this new series off with her. Introducing...
For me, for you is my go to place for cute shoe oogling, fashion drooling and new music discoveries. And I love that Kate, the adorable, super stylish and multi-talented blogger behind it all, seems so sweet and down-to-earth, too! Beyond her good taste for all things awesome, she shares lots of beautiful photos from her everyday life that make me covet NY life without ever having been. Plus, she hosts cookie parties, is obsessed with sandwiches and loves her cute tuxedo kitty, Wendy. I'm sure you're already reading her blog, but if not, it's time to change that!
Where do you live? New York City
Where do you blog from? my home office (I hate that term, but I suppose that's what it is!)
How long have you been blogging? for over 10 years in some form or another (livejournal, anyone?) but on my current blog, roughly 3 years
What's one of the oddest/sweetest/craziest or most memorable comments you've ever received? oh my, I could write a book! But, weirdest: someone telling me an APC dress I posted about was "frowzy". Had to dictionary.com that gem. Sweetest: whenever my readers notice a mean commenter and reply, making them feel like an idiot for even thinking about being mean. I have a GANG of awesome supporters, which I think everyone needs on the internet sometimes.
What's one of your favorite posts/or fave series on your blog & why? Definitely Bits Of My Weekend where I share photos from my weekend every Monday. It's not intended to serve some "ohh look at me and my awesome life" purpose (trust me, I have some hideously boring weekends sometimes and am kind of a homebody!) but rather to document small moments in my life I want to remember. It's also got me in the habit of taking tons of photos and expanding my photography knowledge, which has always been a passion of mine.
Who are 3 other blogstars, in your book?
It's very hard to choose, but these ladies rock my world with their unique blogs that bring something different to the table in my google reader all the time: Lily of BigBANG Studio, Anabela of Fieldguided, and Vic (her blog doesn't exactly have a name, but is constantly incorrectly linked as "lost" :) http://lost.net.au/vic/
Visit for me, for you :: Kate's flickr :: her jewelry shop

Oh, who doesn't love Kate?
Great person to start with, Jena!
I look froward to following along with this series.
Happy Monday :)

YESSS. Seriously, someone needs to make tea cozies that say KATE MISS FAN CLUB & WENDY'S NOT BAD TOO. Homegirl has wit, style, and some serious class. Glad you're spreading the good word.
