Streamlining?


So I happen to see my readership growing (Yayy! thanks to all my loyal readers) and I know that blog culture is such that you probably read-up on the rarities and trends I post along with clicking through a few of your other favorites. I found a new way to approach the blogging world that reminds of me those new smartphones that stream your facebook and twitter and texts on one screen... here is a fun, easy-to-watch explanation of what I mean:


So you can go to bloglovin and sign up to streamline your life. In my modest estimation this will make your life exponentially simpler, especially if you have a few blogs you "love on." I often click from the Sartorialist to fashionista and back, but now they are all on one screen. Well, this is quite the time-saver, that's for sure. But, maybe part of the fun of "loving on a blog" is that you are stealing precious time away from your day to do so?
I am not sure that I am gonna convert to bloglovin, but while giving it a shot I came across the chic cyclist pictured above (streaming from The Sartorialist). She is living proof of an old saying your mother might have whispered when you got nervous about backyard play: once you learn how to ride a bike you never forget! And yet our biker is mixing stripes and prints (a mommy No-No!) it just goes to show you how much your perspective, when reading a blog, or examining a photo, impacts the interpretation. I guess that is why I am not so concerned about this new streaming technology. I would rather waste-time and cruise like my friend pushing the petal-to-the-metal in heeled clogs-- maybe not the most practical-- but most certainly an unique approach.
