I really love this girl’s blog and today she posted this and I love this because this is how I feel about style blogs:

“I’ve decided I’m not going to accept new “courtesy of” items. In the past, some of the shops that advertise on this site have offered me samples of their clothes for free, which is awesome because who doesn’t love free clothes? But part of the reason why I like reading blogs (and considered starting one) is that they offer an alternative to magazines. They represent what a non-magazine-model without access to a huge magazine closet might wear, and what she might be willing to hand over her hard-earned money for. Getting free stuff runs counter to why I preferred blogs in the first place.”
