Show a Little Love

Not too long ago the lovely Leah of Little Red Purse featured Lot 65 along with a few other blogs who all have a smaller following but were, as she kindly thought, worth checking out. Although I appreciate (but tend not to pass on) blog awards, I do think this kind of showing support for fellow bloggers in an online community plays a big part of what motivates me to continue to enjoy blogging so much. Based on Leah's lovely feature, I was inspired to share a few of my favourite Canadian blogs that you may not have discovered yet that are well worth a follow.

First among these is obviously Leah herself! I first came across her blog after she left the sweetest comment on one of my posts about resolutions for the year, and I'm so glad I did. She posts on personal style - although since she's getting married in a few short months you'll find some wedding inspired posts on her blog as well. I sadly didn't get the chance to meet her at LG Fashion week this fall, but hoping to next time round - she is a total sweetheart! Leah and I have actually traded buttons for the month too - be sure to check her out!

Danielle of Denj is a name you may have come across before (particularly here during my most recent giveaway!). Not only does this lovely lady have impeccable style, but she also makes absolutely beautiful silk scarves and bracelets. I have one already (with another on order!) and get constant compliments whenever I wear it (check out her shop here). We had a brief chat when I was last in Toronto and I can tell you - she is lovely! Hoping that she Leah and I can have a blogger shopping trip next time I'm in town.

Sarah of Girl Crush is based in Vancouver although she's a transplant from here in Ontario. I discovered her blog through Danielle of Denj and totally relate to her classically pretty aesthetic. In addition to discovering Sarah's personal style- you'll also find her favourite recipes, which the baker in me definitely enjoys too! Take a look, you won't be disappointed.

You may remember Kristin of Doll Parade from her guest post that she contributed while I was sunning myself on the shores of North Carolina this past spring. She's a fellow Maritimer and is one of a growing number of fantastic bloggers based out of New Brunswick. She has a fantastic and constantly inspiring fashion sense, and in addition to sharing her personal style incorporates beautifully photographed details of her daily life into Love Chronicles each week - a favourite feature of mine.

Moving back out west, I have to mention Ashley of Lions Lace Lattes. Not only is she seriously smart (Psych and neuroscience anyone?), but she also happens to have a fabulous sense of style, and frequently showcases the beauty of a province I (sadly) have never seen in magnificent settings for her photos.

Last but certainly not least on my list of blogs worth checking out is another New Brunswick blogger who I've relatively recently discovered (via her friends Kristin and Kate), Candice of Brilliant Sugar. She's new to the blogging scene, but even since her debut has consistently been one of my favourite reads. This is partly due to  her simple but always chic style, but also due to her decidedly yummy recipes that she frequently shares. One I definitely want to try? These tasty-looking cupcakes!

I hope that you show these ladies a little love - check out their blogs and see what you think! They are all well worth following along, in my humble opinion.

P.S. If you have any recommendations for new blogs to check out, I'm all ears! I'm always looking for new sources of inspiration!
