I was just complaining to a friend/client over lunch that sometimes I feel like I get in a rut with the blog. She mentioned a blog or two that she loves and I started thinking, I bet you all have blogs you love as well, that I’ve never heard of! Would you mind sharing your inspiring finds?? {I’m sure the girls here at Ruby Press would enjoy learning about them too!} You know what we like- style, design, food, pretty vintage things…
Thanks in advance!! xx
P.S. I accidentally turned off comments earlier- but now it’s fixed, so comment away!!

I love questionnaires!
I only read design blogs that I get from this site, with the exception of apartmenttherapy. Although that might be more of a proper website than a blog.
There are two food blogs I check in with daily; the first is smitten kitchen. Great pics and funny copy, plus some tasty recipes. And she has this great feature called “Surprise me!” which will pull up a random recipe from the archives, which is fun. I also like 101cookbooks, which is definitely healthy stuff but the pictures are lovely and she occasionally has fun people like Isaac Mizrahi write about their favorite cookbooks.
Love and read all three of those!!
Great minds think alike…
I also like Design Sponge! Forgot about that one.
New ones:
Cafe Cartolina (amazing card designer) http://cafecartolina.blogspot.com/
Old Chatter – Musings (these young hipsters just started liquidating estates in SF. They are so cool and so is there blog! http://old-hat-estatesales.com/musings/
I love Cashon & Co. (designer Kellie always has interesting things and sweet to boot!) http://cashonandcompany.blogspot.com/
Those are my latest.
Hope all is well Melissa, and I missed my giving you my formal congrats on the baby! YAY! But, a little birdie told me before!!
My favorite blogs include The Business of Being Creative by Sean Low, Style Me Pretty, Lara Casey, Bakerella, and 6th Street Design School. These are just a few, but definitely must reads for business, weddings, baking, and interior design.

Oh I so know how you are feeling. I get into blog ruts every once in a while and it stinks. Normally a little trip out of my home office and into some shops help me feel inspired!

Aside from yours, my daily blog roll includes design*sponge (my first blog love), monalunadesign, craftynest, and three wedding blogs–oncewed, 100layercake, and stylemepretty. Even though I’m five years past wedding planning, something about the pure joy of weddings keeps me coming back for more. I
still mourn the loss of morewaystowastetime and I occassionally stop by decor8 and sfgirlbybay. I’m currently on the hunt for some good baby/mommy style/design blogs as I too expecting my first little one in September. Nothing has knocked my socks off yet…
You guys are the BEST!!! Thanks so much for all the suggestions- I will check every single one out!
