Cupcakes and Cashmere Blog

     A great blog that I've been familiar with for a while is Cupcakes and Cashmere. It is definitely geared towards women, as it includes posts on fashion trends, as well as guides on how to do different hair and makeup styles. An aspect that definitely sets this blog apart however, is the section devoted to tasty recipes (hence the "cupcakes" noted in the title). The recipes range from scones to pizza and always feature step-by-step pictures of the yummy food.

     Nonetheless, the reason I first became accquainted with this blog was through a fashion magazine that noted blogger Emily Shuman's exquisite fashion sense. The photos she posts of her various outfits are always perfectly put together, with an excellent mix of high and low labels (that is, designer and more affordable brands). This makes the blog appealing to a younger set of women who can't necessarily relate to bloggers who constantly post outfits that would cost thousands to recreate.

      I also love this blog because Schuman includes regular entries that aren't necessarily related to fashion, design, or food, but simply to things she likes or that inspire her. This is enjoyable becase it makes the blog as a whole more relatable, and thus each time I visit the site it's like chatting with an old friend rather than just randomly surfing the internet.

     Overall, Cupcakes and Cashmere is a fabulous blog for girls looking for outfit inspiration, some fresh recipes, or general charming insight on life and style.
