Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking my survey yesterday. It was so great to hear your feedback about this blog, and it gave me a tremendous amount of insight into your feelings about the day to day happenings over here.
I will admit, some of your comments were tough love, which I totally appreciated and it really opened my eyes to what my readers like and don't like.
The majority of you would like to see more outfit posts, more sneak peeks of my apartment, more previews of our office, and some general photos of my life in Chicago. So I'm going to start sharing more, with some fair warning that my boyfriend is not a professional photographer :)
Additionally, a large percentage of you want to see more budget friendly finds. So, beginning on Monday, I am going to introduce a new series: Girl On A Budget. At the start of each month, I'll list some essentials for a girl on a budget's closet, with additional posts about exciting sales, weekly finds, etc. I hope to help all of you assemble a wardrobe you can be proud of without breaking the bank.
So thank you again! You all are the best.

I also love your sweater and want to order one. Question- what size are you wearing? I'm a 4/6, sometimes a small, sometimes a medium. I also have kind of long arms and am afraid if I get the small it will be too short in the sleeves? Does it run 'loose fit?' Any insight would be great. I'm heading to NYC for the Food and Wine Festival next weekend and would love to sport it around town.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what kind of camera do you use? I'm on the hunt...
Thanks for all of your hard work. Love the blog.
I just stumbled upon this site and absolutely love it! Quick question- where is your grey couch from?
ReplyDeleteWhere are you pillows from?? I love the color combo!
