While we are still new on the blog scene (and working out the kinks!), we are fortunate enough to be surrounded by a plethora of examples of blogging-done-right. In the sharing spirit, we're going to let you in on a few of our favorites in this post. Some are established enough that you've probably heard of them before, others may be hidden treasures - but each is perfectly lovely in their own way! Happy reading!

If you haven't read the book - Encyclopedia of the Exquisite - you absolutely should. But even without having read it, you will surely fall in love with the blog. An assembly of the fascinating, Encyclopedia of the Exquisite ranges in topics from Hot Crossed Buns to dancers in the original Ziegfeld Follies, and touch on websites, museum exhibits, books and planting techniques along the way. Her writing in book & blog is charming and informative, and the topics delightfully eclectic. A recent blog post shared that there's a second book in the works, good news indeed!
Cooking in Stilettos is our favorite amongst the food-and-fashion group, and for a variety of reasons: her recipes are delicious and easy to follow, her fashion advice is chic but attainable for a range of income brackets, and - quite importantly- she understands the importance of beautiful lingerie! Her motto "Look good, eat well, and feel great!" simply rings true for us. Being well dressed and well fed is the only to face life, in our book, and Wendy adeptly shows (post after post) that there's no reason we can't all do just that.
Miss Narcissus is a blog with a lingerie focus, whose posts range from photos of the newest in luxury lingerie collections to sumptuously feminine lingerie inspired photos from photographers like Ellen Von Unwerth (a shop favorite, and the photographer who shot the photo above). She somehow finds luscious photograpy I've never seen before & breaks photos of new collections before even I have seen them - this is a great blog to stop by for a little girlie inspiration.
If you're looking for a little naughty luxury in your lingerie blog, this is the place to stop. Her "Photo du Jour" is always titillating, and her ability to scour the web for everything from art to magazine spreads that perfectly match her aesthetic is spot on. We are so delighted that Mademoiselle B is around to let us in on "all her dirty little discoveries"!
First off, I will admit that I'm completely enamoured of the "Antoinettes Rose Garden Himalayan Pink Bath Salts" - I can't get enough. First I ordered one, then two... my last order was for a decadent 4 jars! (Excuse: 2 are going out as gifts. I'm really not that self indugent.) Aside from the fact that her products are the perfect primping treat, she also maintains a fabulous blog. From photos of her favorite screen siren Marilyn Monroe to her current choice in dance-party music, this blog is a treat to visit. Plus, it's a great way to stay in the loop on her current store specials!
The Simply Luxurious Life is a blog about... well, just that. A lovely combination of opulence and practicality, this blog is about living the indulgent, luxurious life you want - but doing it the smart way. From fashion to skincare to self esteem, this blog is about spending your money and energy on the important, high-quality things & how to save for them. I love that this blog really targets a wide range of people, and makes it clear that there are little luxuries that are attainable for everyone.
This blog ignites my wander-lust every time I stop by. Written by Maryam, the American proprietress of the Moroccan hotel Peacock Pavillions, her stories are of exotic dinner parties, shopping in Marrakesh, raising a family on foriegn silk, and the decoration and upkeep of her lovely hotel. I dream more than anything of having the time off and sufficient funds to lounge in her dining tent, shop the stalls, and take in the exotic atmosphere of Peacock Pavillions.
