Monday, Monday– or more links to a bunch of blogs worth checking out

live love home at One Kings Lane

Who doesn’t want to go to this garden party? Just another dreamily aspirational image from One Kings Lane’s newly redesigned blog.

Sure it’s part of an e-commerce site, and sure my husband works there, but the new incarnation of Live Love Home (aka the One Kings Lane blog) is well worth bookmarking just for the inspiration and ideas (and recipes and storage tips and beautiful photography and cocktails…) If you then just happen to click over to the main site to buy something… well… that’s not my fault now, is it? The profile of designer Julia Leech is particularly enticing…

I love Molly Yeh, although I do not know her. I love her recipes. I love her photography. I love her kind of obsessive crazy incredibly endearing writing style. I love her craftiness, and I love that she calls her blog My Name Is Yeh. I could do with slightly larger type, but that’s just my tired eyes talking. And the smaller type is prettier, truth be told.

I always enjoy a visit to the Free People Blog for it’s fairy princess fashion, recipes (clearly I like to eat) and slightly hippie DIY’s like Mason jar herb gardens and dry shampoo.

My 2.1 million best friends and I love A Cup of Jo and visit it regularly for Joanna Goddard’s sweet, smart and thoughtful posts on everything from talking to your kids about death, to Mother’s Day gift guides to, yep, delicious recipes

When it comes to travel, I’ve lately found myself checking out Tory Burch’s Tory Daily and Conde Nast Traveler’s Tumblr for fantasy purposes. But I always check out Momfilter for more realistic ideas.

The Nova Naturals blog has lovely and seasonally appropriate kids crafting ideas that I actually want to do. (as opposed to making things out of paper bags that then have to lie around for weeks before you finally clear them away under cover of darkness.)

And last but most certainly not least, in order to ensure that I don’t fall too far down into the Old Navy/Crewcuts trap for kids clothes, there is the glorious Coohs and Ahhs to guide my path away from the mass produced and onto a road less traveled… and with nicer fabric.

    I love your blog. Here is one tiny editorial comment: You probably already know this (although Spell Check thinks it knows better). “Its” is possessive and “it’s” is a contraction.
