Monday, June 27, 2011 Girl Crush
Hello! Has your weekend been kind to you? We had a lot of family time, which was an amazing treat. Sorry for the lack of posts last week. Crazy schedule mixed with some technical difficulties lead to that mishap, but the new blog is up and running! Do you like it? Kelly Ann from Freckled Nest did a great job with the design.
So today I am going to do things a little different. I want to give a shout out to all the ladies who inspire me on a regular basis. Some I have the pleasure of knowing, others I just know of from a distance. No matter, they are all amazing and add a little something special to my days.
bri emery
- super cute.
- super talented graphic designer.
- super stylish.
maybe you know her from her blog, or drooling over the "pages" she makes so pretty on rue, whatever the case, i am pretty sure this girl is going to start an empire. her designs are simple and pretty and have many "ah ha!" moments, which i love and respect.
bethenny frankel
hot mom.
recent multimillionaire.
comes from "a place of yes"
gotta love a woman who makes it in the liquor industry, one has got to be impressed. i have loved watching her in all her shows. it's been impressive to see people not taking samples from her in the grocery store to her being a serious business woman in just a few short years. it doesn't hurt to be on the cover of forbes with a public shout out of "i am worth 120 million".
emily henderson
the girl you want to shop with.
talented well beyond her years.
the girl everyone loves to watch on HGTV.
i have got to hand it to HGTV for selecting emily as the winner of Design Star. she ads such a fresh perspective to the network with her show Secrets from a Stylist. i love how every room she has done on season one looks so realistic and lived in. you can't help but obsess over her finds.
zooey deschanel
i want her closet.
she cracks me up.
we should be besties.
i don't know what it is about her, but she does no wrong. i am obsessed with everything she wears, and dream about raiding her closet. ever role she's in she cracks me up. between acting and singing in her band she&him, i am totally inspired by this do-it-all girl.
sherry petersik
makes me want to do something to my house daily.
has the cutest family ever.
obsessive diyer.
we all know and love younghouselove. they are no secret. i have to say though, ya got to be inspired by the people who put home blogging on the map. their well deserved success only inspires me to get my to do list done, and keep up with this here blog.
layla palmer
her style is so perfect, you'll rethink your whole life.
her husband is a professional musician too!
may be coming to a tv screen near you soon!
layla's house is like a dream come true. her and her husband kevin have such amazing taste. i love everything they do. i mean that literally. i am so excited a network has picked them up for a pilot, and wish them the best of luck from the bottom of myheart.
genevieve gorder
soulful designer
wanted to "be her" when i grew up
has the cutest little girl ever!
Dear Gen, we should really do that lunch! Ha.
So there you have it! My totally non-creppy girl crush list! I hope you get to discover something new and get inspired by these ladies too.
Pssst! We really want to know what you think of the new design! Please share your thoughts!

What?? You're so cute. And to be included among such other über amazing ladies? Yeah, I'm blushing. Just finally read my Reader after a few day hiatus (thanks to priming, priming, and more priming) and I saw this. You're too sweet. And I heart you right back.

Loved this post! As you know I love Emily and think she's an amazing designer I love her even more now that she's made our house feel more like a home...
