Today's Style & Skill Crush is a double header!
I have a special place in my heart for sarcasm in general so add that with great design and you have me hooked. When Decorno closed up shop, there was a gaping hole in my daily lineup. Thankfully I found my fix. While I'm sure there are others I don't know about I just had to share my two new favorite design snark sources.
The first is My Favorite and My Best. I know I'm just one of many fans of Jenny's but in case you haven't been reading, you really must. I can't wait for HGTVs Design Star to start just to read her spot on recaps. Oh the hilarity! Lest I sell this blog short, its not all witty observations of the absurd - she also blogs a bit about herself and has great style as well. A great read.
The other is a lot newer on the scene, a blog infant if you will, but clearly a snark prodigy: Design Blahg. Its written by several contributors (at least one of which lives in Brooklyn so extra points for that) and is one to watch. I check in daily to get my daily dose of chuckle.
Anywho, I just wanted to thank both of these blogs for making me laugh and helping to not take it all too seriously. Do you have a favorite snark blog that I don't know about?
I think Jenny's blog is hilarious. I haven't read Design Blahg yet -- off to check it out.
ReplyDeleteRaina's blog... If the Lampshade Fits!!
ReplyDeleteI adore Jenny and her wit! I've been following her for a while and find myself laughing out loud at nearly every post. Off to check out Design Blahg. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteOh, let me suggest reading Karen's blog at TheArtofDoingStuff.com. She's a riot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the intro to Design Blagh! Can def. see it becoming a daily favorite!
ReplyDeletemyfavoriteandmybest is so hilarious!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of the other one, but will definitely check it out!
Do you read unhappyhipsters.com? It's SO funny!
Jenny is great! Design Blag is pretty good too. Check out Girl World Decor (some think Jenny writes it).
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Design Star either. Jenny is so funny with her recaps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on snarky blogs. It's always appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWhoa...when Mrs. Limestone gives me the thumbs up, I KNOW I have arrived :) (and yeah, I'm being totally friggin serious). Thanks so much for the shoutout (and HOLLA for Brooklyn!).
ReplyDeleteIn addition to If The Lampshade Fits, you could check out Fu For Thought - she does recaps of that show too AND she interviews the contestants who are eliminated!
ReplyDeleteI give Jenny from MFAMB total credit for introducing the term "design boner" into my vocab. Thank you Jenny, thank you.
ReplyDeleteJenny @ MFAMB is a hoot and equally entertaining in person! Glad you've added her to your snarky-snarks list! I'm headed over the check out design blahg now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips! Love MFAMB!
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered Jenny, too. Cracks. Me. Up.
