Best of Blog World - My Recent Picks

In addition to writing this little blog, I'm also an avid blog reader. I have Google Reader on my laptop and my iPhone.  When I have time, I check out other blogs for fun reads and inspiration. I thought I'd share some of my favorite posts from recent weeks, with you. I know you're scratching your head trying to figure out what the things below are and why they are in my blog this week.  Well, read on my friends, all will be revealed.

• Fabulous local blogger (and friend), Allie of Wardrobe Oxygen has a great blog about dressing your body, shopping economically, music, her beautiful daughter and lots of other fantastic tidbits. Her post about Bras this week made me nod my head yes and laugh.

• An amazing and quick DIY vest from Kirsten of Studs and Pearls! It's even great for those who think they aren't creative or can't sew.  You only need scissors and a scarf.

• I love the fun and sunny manicure on The Looks for Less.  I'm planning to try it soon. It may be a bit bold for some but you could tone it down by using more muted but Spring like colors.

• Kimberly of Fab Finds Under $50 is one of my favorites. This Daily Outfit post illustrates exactly why I love her blog. She's put together a fun and accessible outfit, gives you fantastic organizational tips and throws in a yummy recipe. Multi-tasking at its best.

• Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere has great style and is always trying out fantastic recipes. I made marshmallows from a recipe she published during the Holidays. I can't wait to try this homemade Pop Tart recipe!

I hope you have as much fun reading these blogs as I do.  Maybe you'll even find a new idea, recipe or project.
