Week 2- Blog Review

cupcakesandcashmere.com is a award winning fashion blog. The blog follows a LA girl through her various outfits and food adventures. I was drawn to this blog first off by the name. Cupcakes and Cashmere two things that I love and both are know for their rich texture. The idea of mixing fabric and style with food was ingenious! A recent post called 'Foot Candy' mixes high end shoes with cheap candy. Also, Emily mixes low and high cost items.

The blog has a few regular features to set a pace for avid readers. Every week Emily includes 5 things that she likes. These are pictures of either clothes or accessories or food. Last week it was a bedazzled sweater and a dessert looking breakfast.The constant mix of desserts and clothes, makes me almost want to eat tweed and wear waffles!

Cupcakes and Cashmere has gotten lots of press from a wide scope of audiences. The blog has a page of all the sites or magazines it has been listed on. I was surprised to see young sites like Teen Vogue and older ones like Forbes "20 best blogs for professional women" mentioned on the same page. I think Emily has been so successful blogging because she mixes both childish things (cupcakes) with adult things (cashmere).
