Sometimes I just write. My first novel is due out in 2013.

Interesting post Katrina, I haven’t heard of any of those blogs (and am sick of most of the ones in my reader, lol!) so will enjoy looking at those.
It made me think of a question for you – what is your opinion of ‘inspiration’ blogs that never post any of their own photos, they just share others’ work? I don’t know for sure but I cannot imagine that all of them get the correct copyright authority every time to use every photo they publish? I read an interesting article about it on Blogher some months back, and it scared me into taking down the couple of photos I had on my blog that weren’t mine!

I tire easily of blogs that simply rehash others’ photos. The copyright issue is delicate and I never really know the rules. If you find and link to the original source, then you should be ok. I love the blogs with original and pretty photos mixed together. X
Viv @ ish and chi
Thanks SO much Katrina for featuring ish and chi. I think I’m an oldie amongst some of these fab blogs 😉 xx
Just on this topic, the blogs I personally love to follow are ones that offer either original content (i.e. through interviews with designers / creatives etc) or original photography. I guess as a reader I want to see something new and fresh when I visit a site as opposed to seeing other people’s work. I’ve been trying to do this with my own blog. It means I’m not able to write every day though as it takes time to put together.

How exciting for Simone to be included. I know some of the others but will be sure to check the others out. Blogland could do with a bit of a freshen up!
Have a great day Kartina. By the way, your house is looking great. I can’t believe how quickly it is coming together 🙂
Katrina
Thanks Sarah! I’m so excited!
Simone - honeyandfizz
Thanks so much Sarah & Katrina, really excited to be included. You’ve put me under pressure to blog more 😉 Have to break away from my Instagram addiction.
I love to include a mix of pretty, aspirational photos and my own photos. I guess it is about finding that balance xx
Yvette @ Little Bento Blog
Love Redcliffe Style!! Will check out the others! 🙂
Amanda
I’ve been a reader of Simone’s for ages now and always love her posts. I’m familiar with about half of the ones you’ve shared so will be sure to check out the others when I get a chance!
Elements at Home
I always love finding new blogs, your round up has given me some newbies to check out.
I am enjoying KL from eternal icons new blog. She has been around for a little while but is much more regular now and her Hubby is a builder so she is full of insight.
You know KC, your blog will always be one to watch but that would be a shameless plug putting your own in the round up…..;-) xx
Katrina
Awww too kind Kristie! X
Alex aka WHOA MUMMA!
There’s a few that I haven’t heard of and will have to pop into my reader. Love Redcliffe Style!
Belinda
I am so pleased that you featured Australian blogs! That is so great, especially because you mentioned Redcliffe Style!
I also write a blog, would love it if you could check it out!
xo
Katrina
I will Belinda, for sure 🙂
Emily
Thanks for the reading list! Pink Fibro has long been on mine, and Redcliffe Style for a few months now. Will have to check out the others!
Rhi @ Hummingbird's Song
I love that you’ve listed blogs that I haven’t heard of, and they look beautiful too! Off to add to my list now!
Alicia - Time worn style
Love interiors Addict but haven’t read any of the others so will be interested to pop on over.
I do get frustrated as I don’t cook and have no interest in it at all however it always seems that successful blogs have an element of recipes, photos of food etc etc. (yawn)
Mind you I do just skip over these parts and onto the interior design/stories of the day parts instead 🙂

Rach // In Spaces Between
Thank you so much for including In Spaces Between on your list – what a beautiful surprise! Honoured to be on here. xo
Alice {sweet dreamer}
Thanks for this list. I follow a few of those blogs, but there are definitely some to add to my reader! Love seeing Aussie bloggers supporting other local talents. x
Clare
Oooooh more bloggy inspiration. I love reading new blogs. Thanks for these, I will check them out 🙂
Deb
Great Karina I am looking forward to reading some new blogs too, the comment about orriginal vs others photos is a biggie. Some of the big blogs seen to be all other people’s photos, not all though. I think a balance is ice and I am finding nowadays I like to post my own pics and to read blogs following other peoples story’s. Mind you, some days I just want to look at pretty pictures.
Janet @ Redland City Living
I’ll admit it, Rachel @ Redcliffe Style was the inspiration behind my blog, http://www.redlandcityliving.com. 🙂

One of my favourites is Janelle McCullough’s Library of Design – it’s gorgeous: http://janellemccullochlibraryofdesign.blogspot.com.au/
I also started my blog last year – it’s called The Good, the Bad and the Italian and is mainly food memoir with an Italian twist. You might enjoy it too.

Hello Katrina – Your blog is beautiful and it was actually fashion and interior design blogs that attracted me to blogging and inspired me to start my own. After a crash course in blogging, taught by local fashionista – Phoebe Montague (LadyMelbourne.Com)- I started my own: 50 Shades of Unemployment at http://50shadesofunemployment.blogspot.com.au/
Cheers,
Carmen
