This morning before work - a newly hemmed vintage chambray dress!
My dream house- brick, stucco, pom-pom trees, ivy...ahhh!
A neighborhood bike ride with some Dogfish Head Punkin Ale! (who needs water?!)
My moms new foster kitten from the animal shelter, Cruz, at a week and a half old!
A Braided Bandit Vintage package all packed and ready to go!
A yummy Saturday Brunch in Denver
The windowsill of in my room with my elephant watering can!
Pretty Fall dresses soon to be in the shop!
I read an article recently on I.F.B. called "Top 10 Ways to Lose Your Blog Followers" or something to that extent. One of the ways was to post instagram photos on your blog haha. Their reasoning was that readers who follow you on both platforms will lose interest if they are always seeing repeat pictures. I agree to some extent, but lets be honest, I miss a ton of instagram pictures from some of my favorite people, and love when I can see a few all in one place as a little catch up. Plus, I like that they can show snippets of your life over a longer span, whereas a typical post for me usually only shows one day or event. I think it can definitely be overused on blogs if you aren't providing other content with obviously better quality photos, but when used sparingly, I quite like bloggers sharing their instagrams! What do you guys think? I promise I won't be offended either way!
Hope you're having a beautiful day!

Oh the cat is so cute :
ReplyDeleteI like to see instagram pictures every now and again from bloggers, and these are gorgeous. Love the idea of a bike ride with ale to quench your thirst :) And that kitten... so tiny and so ridiculously cute! Earlier today I was talking to my boyfriend about how I can't wait to move into our own place and get a kitten.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure where I stand on it, haha. I guess it just bothers me when my blog reads are ALL instagram photos (because that has been happening a lot now) but never enough to unfollow. I do like seeing yours because I do not follow you on IG yet, I need to :) They are lovely photos!

I agree. I follow you on both, but I think I missed most of these photos so I'm happy to see them here. I do LOVE that dress. And I think I might have to buy something from you soon just for the packaging. And the great clothes. But mostly the packaging. ;)
ReplyDeletethat dream home is beautiful! where is it? looks like it belongs in the highlands a bit. : ) ohhh, and the goodness of steuben's. i wonder if we've ever been there at the same time. ; ) we MUST have a blogger meet-up this fall. ok? : )
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I love those fall dresses at the end! :)

That's so funny, I read that article too. I post Instagram pictures on my blog as well and I tend to get a lot of positive feedback. Not everyone has Instagram and it's a good way to get your readers to see your pictures. So, I guess I disagreed with that part of the article.
ReplyDeleteI love that house too! And I'm digging the pumpkin ale on your bike :). If I weren't gluten free I'd be doing the same exact thing. Pumpkin beer is amazing!

That house is so dreamy!
ReplyDeleteI think IFB is really snobbish at times and writes for the HUGE blogger, not so much us minor leagues and I think these posts are good for those not on instagram and also to see them all at once rather than scattered. IFB gives a lot of bad advice, in my opinion.
I've never been offended by seeing Instagram photos on a blog; but I'm not that into Instagram so I guess I'm not seeing the photos their either.
ReplyDeleteI think I missed most of these instagram photos except for the first and last one! I definitely don't see a problem with posting them on your blog especially for this reason alone. I take some of those articles with a grain of salt to be truthful. Sometimes I think they are only geared toward the bigger blogger - the ones who cover fashion shows and street style and all that jazz.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so magical and dreamy Hannah and gah, I want to live in that house! That little kitten is precious too and looks so much like my cat when he was that young. Pumpkin ale and bike rides...haha....yes!
Have a lovely day lovely gal! xo Marisa
what a lovely post :)
ReplyDeleteI adore it!

Really love the dress in your first photo! You look lovely in it. And how gorgeous are the pieces in the last photo? Would love to get my hands on those!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. Love the elephant watering can!
ReplyDeleteI read that one too and also right after decided to do an Instagram post haha. I agree that when it's mixed in w/ many other posts it provides a nice change and of course when it's only our favorites from past weeks or whatnot (although I def overdid it w/ pics of my cats haha). I LOVE that dress on you, the collar and fabric are perfect.
