blog award!

Much to my surprise, yesterday I was nominated by phoe for a "you make my day" blog award. I'm thrilled! (I've never been nominated for anything before.) So here, in no particular order, are my top ten inspirational daily reads:

• gala darling :: she's funny, and girly, and always very much about being yourself.
• the vintage society :: lovely clothes and a savvy businesswoman. 
• ann wood :: her creativity is so inspiring
• (into) the fray :: I sometimes wonder if Ambika and I were somehow separated at birth; we share an obsession with shoes and vintage coats. But she makes pretty jewelry, and has amazing curly hair, and I don't. 
• painfully hip :: always upbeat and witty
• the coveted :: smart. creative. chic
• the sartorialist :: yes, he's the original, and everyone reads him. But that's because he's just THAT good.
• jesh de rox :: amazingly gorgeous photography.
• love made visible :: lovely visuals.
• elegant musings :: casey seems to constantly surround herself with beauty, and her life overflows with creativity.
