Blogging Tips: Resources for Help

Tip #5: RESOURCES FOR HELP

"Where I go for help" is a good question.  I have used online resources, even paid for some, and hired a mentor, and turned to my blogging friends.  Growing a blog is a lot of trial and error, and finding help is kind of the same. I hope you find my "mistakes" and recommendations to be helpful - and I look forward to reading everyone's thoughts on this topic.  Also, if you have tips that you have found that work - please be sure to share them in the comments or email me.

How to Wear Stripes & New Series: Blogging Tips

SHOP THE LOOKS

1. Off Shoulder Top: H&M // 2. Initial Necklace: BaubleBar // 3. Dress: H&M (Only $13)

4. Jeans: H&M // 5. Satchel: Tory Burch (20% off)

6. Watch: Michael Kors (20% off) // 7. Block Heel Sandal: Shellys London 

8. Lipgloss: YSL // 9. Platform Sandal: Shellys London

Other than leopard, stripes are probably the only other pattern I wear.  Black and white (or beige) stripes are my favorite.  They are classic and pair well with brown.  You can also add a pop of color with red.  I have recently been doing a lot of browsing and shopping at H&M.  They have great prices.  This striped dress that I found is only $13.  It would be perfect for spring layered with a denim jacket or worn on its own in the summer with these platform sandals.

BLOGGING TIPS

Today, I am excited to announce a new blogging series that is starting today called - BLOGGING TIPS. I have paired up with 5 other blogs (Peaches in a Pod, Sweaters, Stripes & Sweets, Shoes to Shiraz, Doused in Pink, Pumps and Push Ups).  Each week, we will be sharing our tips on everything from starting a blog, to working with brands and where to go for help.  This week we are talking about what we wish we had known before we started a blog.  

Also, our blogging series will be set up as a "Blog Hop"- so at the end of my post, I will link to the next blogger - be sure to hop over to her blog, and then, hop around until you have visited all six of us.
