Hi Lovelies! Laura from Sweet Life Laur here. Usually I come to you bearing recipes and food photos, but today I am super excited because I just made my very first Polyvore board! I first saw these awesome inspiration boards on Lovely at Your Side, but as I have started branching out in my blog reading (aka, incorporating a few choice fashion and lifestyle blogs into my once strictly-food blog rotation), I have seen them pop up all over the place. I've always wanted to make one, but that's not really what the food blog audience is looking for, so I held off.
When Olivia told me I didn't necessarily have to do a recipe for my guest post, the wheels started turning. My boyfriend Tim and I are going to Turkey and Greece for two weeks at the end of September. I had hit up several Labor Day sales to stock up on vacation outfit essentials, but I hadn't put them all together yet and was starting to worry. We are traveling backpack-style (check out my snazzy new North Face bag!), which I have never done, so packing is a bit different than what I am used to. It was a little bit overwhelming.
Using Polyvore, I was able to find almost all of my items AND organize them into outfits! (The $240 Liberty of London scarf and $1,000 Ralph Lauren wrap sweater, unfortunately, will probably never be a part of my wardrobe, but I own similar looking items). So, this is what I'm taking, plus a few extra mix 'n match pieces. See the original board with prices and items here.
You can find Ms. Sweet Life's food and recipes at Sweet Life Laur and her lifestyle blog at Sweet Life A La Carte.
Laura, thanks for the awesome guest post! We are so excited for you and can't wait to see pics! XO.
