Today’s BTS girl has lots of ch-ch-changes going in her life — and all exciting ones! If you read her blog, you’ll know all about Sarah’s big move back to New York for school, but if not, I’ll let her post below tell you all about it. Sarah, who writes the blog Chevrons & Stripes, also happens to pen one of my favorite profile series in blogland, “The It List.” And, I was lucky enough to do a little blog swap with her and participate in it! My own post on her blog will be up tomorrow, but in the meantime, check out her BTS below and be sure to head over and ogle the pretty interiors inspiration on her blog. Take it away, Sarah! (more…)

The first time I ever met Crystalin, I think we were both a little nervous. It was one of the first one on one blogger meetups we’d ever done in SF…so, essentially a blind date. And you know how those can go. But I really had nothing to worry about. Cut to two hours later, when we’re having a heart to heart about our families, and I knew she was a keeper! Since then, Crystalin has become my go-to gal when I want to grab a margarita after work and talk about blogging, fashion, life, whatever. She’s so stylish, and with a fantastic business sense. Be sure to check out her blog, right after you read her BTS below. I know you’ll love learning more about her!  (more…)

I always love meeting fellow bloggers, but what I really love is when conversation can extend past the business aspects of things and on to real life topics — discussions about family, relationships, dreams, and the like. Such was the case when I met up with Kate a while back, when she was in SF visiting family. I think we both met up intending to only have one glass of wine, but after two, we had to pry ourselves away and only because we each  had dinner reservations. We had a lot in common, plus, she’s just so easy to chat with! So honest, real, creative, interesting (and I mean that in the best way possible). Her blog, The Forgetful Wife, is no different — it’s a great mix of unique topics, original recipes, and pretty graphics. If you can’t meet Kate in person, trust, her blog is the next best thing. Get her BTS, right here! (more…)

I love meeting women who are as bright as they are style savvy. Nancy Marcus would definitely fall into this category. I inadvertently scheduled her post today right around the same time she was due to finish submitting her dissertation for her PhD. In biochemistry. Any gal that can research and write about gene mutations by day and put together awesome posts on the variations in Roman shades by night is basically my hero. If you aren’t following Nancy’s blog, Marcus Design, it’s a must! Fantastically done posts featuring all kinds of design pretty. You’ll fall in love! Get to know her a little better right here: (more…)

Today I’m pleased to welcome Maggie Morgan! I first “met” Maggie last year, when she was a part of Jess Constable’s ‘Dream Reporter’ series. It’s been amazing to watch her grow her interior design business, Maggie Rose Interiors, and truly flourish since that time. She’s always offering great insight and advice on Twitter, and after reading her Behind the Scenes, I can definitely say we have a lot more in common than I realized. Get her BTS right here:
