Playing Favorites : The Wonderlust Journal

Playing Favorites

Posted by Eliza Coleman on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 · 7 Comments

I’m obsessed with this tumblr– Awesome People Hanging Out Together– that the photos above are from. What a great concept for a collection of photos.

I thought I’d take this chance to share my favorite blogs and tumblrs, and give you the chance to tell me (and the other Wonderlusters) yours! I love trading blog inspiration…

Mine change all the time (internet-induced ADD), but here are a few current (and some perennial) faves…

Tomboy Style (no explanation necessary), Clippings (tumblr), The Steward (tumblr), Miss Moss, My Favorite Color is Shiny (love this lady), Sunset in the Rearview (music), French By Design (interiors), The Coveteur, Because I’m Addicted (fashion), This is Glamorous, Nick Olsen, Could I Have That, and of course Smitten Kitchen (recipes and wonderful commentary).

So PLEASE, comment and share your favorites with me too!!!

PS- Follow Wonderlust on Twitter for daily finds that I don’t post to the blog.

PPS – You might have noticed my posting on Wonderlust has been a little sporadic– my job has been a little nutsbusy recently (but in a good way!)– just wanted to let you know it’s only temporary and WL should be back in full swing shortly! I’ll also be sharing the project I’ve been working on in the very near future… so excited!

Love the blog! I also love fashion blogs, but yet to come across a site with someone blogging on more curvy women styles! Could I Have That – fantastic, but I am a completely different shape – if you know of any blogs on a ’rounder’ scale – love to hear them! 101 Cookbooks is a fab foodie blog too x

While the Clippings page might look like a Tumblr it’s actually a regular ol’ page on my blog, The Pursuit Aesthetic. The tumblr, thepursuitaesthetic.tumblr.com, came later.

  Awesome! Keep ‘em coming!
  
  I gotcha. I suppose I use the term “tumblr” loosely to mean image-only stream of content… have a similar page on wonderlust that isn’t technically a tumblr but it’s the closest description I have!

Thanks for the love! Spent a lot of time clippings those out of magazines. I still have a pretty hefty box of clippings I’ve yet to size and scan.
