ready. set. blog. (initiation into blogosphere)

Hello Blogland!

When it came down to picking a design blog to discuss in my first entry, it was a no-brainer. For months now, I have been incessantly following one blog in particular - Material Girls Blog. I cannot get enough.

Pantone's "Amparo Blue"

As a new student to Interior Design, I find it to be an inspirational, fun, and current window into the field. The blog is written by five young designers in five very different cities across the country. The girls offer helpful tips and introduce new trends that they have encountered. The Material Girls track new fashion and pop culture trends that have had a direct effect on Interior Design.

In this post, for example, the "girls" blogged on Pantone's (international authority on color) new line of colors based on colors used by specific designers at New York's Fashion Week. The "girls" then paired that color with images of newly designed interior spaces that have been inspired by it. The world of Interior Design is affected by changes in fashion almost instantly.

I enjoy the informal feel to the posts and the array of picture they provide (which come anywhere from the runway all the way to their own, personal designs). I recommend this fun, vibrant blog to anyone interested in design!
