This blog is an absolute favorite of mine. Sydney has an amazing sense of style, not to mention an adorable family, which includes her hubby Tyson, and new addition, Everett. Though Syd’s posts don’t always focus on fashion and trends, the snaps of her daily outfits are enough to make this a must-read fashion blog to add to your Google Reader. Check it out! Fair warning, you may become a little obsessed.

I love Do-It-Yourself projects and this website is my favorite for DIY crafts. Honestly,WTF has tutorials for everything from bracelets and necklaces, to candles and clutches. The DIY instructions are very simple to follow as well. Grab a group of friends and make some friendship bracelets!
