CaliVintage

"Festival Style" by CaliVintage
     I am a huge fan of vintage and a huge fan of California, this is why CaliVintage really appeals to me. What's really appealing to me is the vast amount of pictures. Fashion is a very visual subject manner and I appreciate that there is not as much writing as other blogs in it's market. I love that this blog gives street fashion advice as well as high fashion advice for ALL body types. It seems that there are tons of blogs for people who are tiny sticks, but CaliVintage does a great job at identifying what's good to wear for your body type.
     Another aspect that I love about this blog, is that Erin, the creator, photographs "everyday girls." She takes to the street and different events to snap photos of fashion forward girls. These are real girls in the everyday world. She also shares with us her own outfits that she puts together herself. These are great, inspirational outfits that any girl could put together. That's what I hope to be able to do on my own blog. I hope to be as inspirational to my readers as Erin.
     I love that she makes the blog personal. She uses stories from her own life and shares them with readers. It makes the reader actually care about her life and feel like they actually are getting to know her. This makes the blog feel more personal to her readers. In my blog, I am going to strive to let my readers get to know who I really am.
     One weakness I see on her blog, is the tiny text that she uses to describe some of her photos. The text is so small, it could be hard for some readers to see. I appreciate her realizing that the photos speak for themselves most of the time, but bigger text would be appreciated. Also, I know vintage can be hard to find and usually one of a kind, but listing some places where her readers would be able to find some of these outfit pieces would be very helpful.
