I'm a blogging fool

Ok, I'm hooked on blogs.  I may even go so far as to say that I'm a blog-a-holic.  There I said it.  Mostly it's the cruising other people's blogs that I love.  I find one amazing blog with a beautiful layout, beautiful photos (that's what usually hooks me), interested stories. . . then I look at their list of favorite blogs, I select one, then another and pretty soon 2 hours have gone by.  This could become a problem, since I'm usually at work when I'm doing this, but I find them very inspiring.  My favorite kinds of blogs are about fashion, photography or art.  I've even created my own (secondary) blog. . .dedicated to vintage clothing.  I mentioned before that I collect vintage clothing and I've recently started selling it on Etsy, where I've been selling hand-made things off and on for a couple years.  So the new blog, Wanderlost Clothing, was created mainly to promote the Etsy shop.  I figured if I could get people following me, or get on the "favorite blogs" list of other similar bloggers, it would bring in extra traffic to my shop.  So far I have one follower.  And it's not even someone I know.  I'm a little nervous about sharing this blog because of the slightly embarrassing "modeling" shots of me (Hey, someone's got to show off the clothes!).  I also employed my boyfriend to model the men's clothing (and play fashion photographer occasionally).  Well, I hope it catches on. . .Here are some of my favorite blogs with similar subject matter:
Sally Jane Vintage
Jen Loves Kev
The Cherry Blossom Girl
Vintage is the New Black

  1. Well, you didn't have to let the cat out of the bag... you could have said the model is a friend of your hairdresser's boyfriend or something.

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who blog-surfs while at work :)
