I LOVE EM'S BLOG

My best friend has a blog, www.getinemilyshead.com, and her writing is so vibrant that she doesn't need an austentacious background. Her site reminds me of a classy hotel room--at least the nice bedding in one.

I bet that some people go to hotels and think, "this is how I want my house to look." So they go home and tear down all the colorful kids stuff they have and replace it with the more simple, elegant, and refined look of a hotel room. That's why there are so many "Hotel Collection" bedding sets. The only problem with this is that a lot of personality can be lost in the remodel.

Not so with Emily's blog. It's as if instead of going home and redecorating, she moved in to the hotel left the walls and bedspread, and brought her own bag of tricks to boot. She writes poetically about her life, the people she has encountered, the things she has done/heard/seen/overcome, and little things she's noticed that have made a big difference to her and the world at large.

Instead of biting someone else's style find yours. This reminds me of one of Em's great posts about imitating, I highly recommend it...
