I’m back with another favorite Friday. This week I have some Q&A with the adorable Emily from The Rancher’s Daughter. Emily grew up on a ranch in Arizona and now lives in Los Angeles. Not only does she look great in front of the camera, but she’s also an uber talented photographer. Make sure to check out her blog if you’re not familiar.

When and why did you start blogging?

I started blogging when I was 19, the summer after my first semester in college. I actually first started The Rancher’s Daughter to share my love of cooking and photography. I grew up on a ranch in Arizona and my mom has always cooked for my dad and the cowboy crew. I grew to love cooking with her and trying my own new recipes, so I thought a blog would be a great way to share what I made and share my fun adventures of life on the ranch. Now living in California, my life and my interests have grown—since living in California, I’ve adopted a love of fashion, beauty, glitz and glam, but I’ll always be the same western girl who grew up riding horses and cooking with my mom. continue reading

It’s officially been a year since I started this little blog. I kind of feel like a parent of a one-year-old, only instead of throwing a party and stuffing cake in my child’s face, I’m dressing up and posing with this giant #1 balloon. I’m also pretty sure the person who filled it with helium thought it was going to a kid’s first Birthday.

I started this site as an outlet for creativity when I needed it most. I was burnt out at a job I’d had for several years and trying to decide how I would grow professionally. One year and a few jobs later, I can truly say this blog helped  present me with the opportunities to land my dream job.  Thank YOU for reading and following along!!! continue reading

As of tomorrow, I have been blogging for one year. And while that does not make me an expert by any means ,I feel like I’ve learned a few things to pass down to new bloggers or someone who is wanting to start a blog. Here are five things you should have if you’re planning to start a fashion blog.

1. A dot com

As cute as your blog name may be, going to “my cute blog” dot wordpress dot com day after day seems unprofessional. If you’re going to take the time to start a blog, pay the $15 or whatever a year for a dot com. It’s so much cleaner and easier than spouting off a long url for an unsuspecting potential follower to remember. continue reading

This Friday I’m putting the spotlight on my favorite Southern Belle blogger Bethany of B Soup. Not only is she hilarious and beautiful but I love the way she effortlessly mixes prints and never shies away from color – a girl after my own heart. Be sure to stop by her blog and bookmark it if it isn’t already on your daily read list.

When and why did you start blogging?

I initially started a blog in August 2010 and wasn’t familiar with them at all so I only posted once or twice and never really went back on it. Months later, I felt like my overflowing closet and hard drive were at capacity with outfits and inspiration so I started using it again as a “style outlet.” People would often ask me where I got my clothes and where to shop for specific outfits etc, so I figured I should just make it public. At the end of March 2011, I did. continue reading

What’s better than one blogger? Two, obviously! Sisters in the City is one of my very favorite blogs is written by this stylish sister pair who lucked out when they married brothers. I love following former west coaster Corbynn (the blonde) and her sister-in-law Allison (brunette) as they navigate their way through colder cities and look fabulous every step of the way.

When and why did you start blogging?

We started blogging in July of 2012. Why? Because it looked fun! We thought it would be a good way to spend our time together and it really has been. continue reading

Monday I started a “new” job. I put new in quotation marks because it’s back at Access Hollywood. You might remember I worked there from the time I graduated college until the beginning of October when I left for the job Celebuzz. Although I’m back in familiar territory, I’ve left producing for my dream job… styling. I am literally around all things fashion all day everyday and wouldn’t have it any other way.
