- Consistently conveys original, insightful and entertaining messages.
- Must have consistently and frequently posted in the past year.
Jennifer Boles is a design historian by nature and is hands down the BEST writer on any blog. I read The Peak of Chic everyday and learn so much from the content.
Erin Gates of “Elements of Style” has an inimitabe writing style that has justly garnered this belle of Boston a loyal fanbase. Readers are drawn in by her impeccable sense of style, and remain loyal followers for her honest personal reflections. She flows between funny anecdotes and design reviews so brilliantly that you realize you’re visiting her site for friendly advice as much as you are for guidance on how to incorporate animal prints into your living room. Read her blog, and you’ll see she’s as self-deprecating as she is beautiful, which makes her all the more authentic in her content. She might not think she’s perfect, but her writing sure as hell is.
What else can I say when this Matt K just stole every word we could say about her Elements of Style! Absolutely the best writing blog!
Dick Gentry always has something interesting to share at Gentry Connects. He shares his passion for everything here!
I enjoy not only the beautiful and custom handcrafted items and lovely and inspiring photos but also the interesting stories and personal insights on the Martin Pierce Custom Hardware blog. http://www.martinpierce.com/blog.
I really like the fun tone, inspiring ideas and beautiful photographs from the onlinefabricstore blog.

Bar none, for writing… Quintessence! She is a true journalist! Consistently impresses. Some blogs you scan, Quintessence you read every.single.word
I nominate Love Where You Live, http://www.lovewhereyouliveblog.com — I have read her blog for over a year now and I am hooked. The blog is extremely well written and always has great pictures. Love Where You Live encourages readers to celebrate their own individual styles and embrace styles unfamiliar to them. It has opened my eyes to ideas that I would have never considered prior to reading her blog. Thank you.
