It’s such a pleasure to introduce you to Summer, the author of Le Musings of Moi. Summer is an original SITSta and might just possibly one of the best dressed bloggers I know. ย And the best part? ย She does it on a budget implementing vintage articles in her wardrobe that make my heart sing. ย Plus, she’s a truly, truly nice person that knows how to make a person feel comfortable with her warm humor. ย Enjoy your visit!
Tell us about your blog. What can we expect when visiting?
I think of my blog as my connection to my best girlfriends. ย It’s a place where I share my latest and greatest obsessions, my heart and my secrets, and tips and techniques on anything from beauty/hair/fashion to parenting, health & fitness. ย If it interests me, I share it with you. ย Just as I would with any of my (3) sisters or best girlfriends.
Tell us about you….one of the nicest fashionista’s we know….
I think my twitter explanation says it best: writer, blogger/vlogger, health & fitness nut, fashion/home decor obsessed…stay at home actress (ask my husband!), aspiring broadway star (on the wii)…and a mama to 2.
What’s the best part about blogging for you?
Besides the LARGE amounts of money thrown at me for writing each day, you mean? Kidding. ย Obviously. =)
Well, to begin, the therapy that it brings is kind of priceless. ย But more than anything, I love how sharing my story, my struggles, my loves and my “not loving so much” brings me together with a plethora (like that word?!?) of amazing women.
I’ll have days where I question what I share…wonder why I do it, but then I’ll get an incredible heartfelt email from someone I’ve never met, and my heart swells. ย It is THAT MOMENT right there that keeps me going and keeps me writing. ย Blogging is the tie that binds. Or something sentimental like that. And You? ย Complete me. And that is why I love blogging. ย Love it. ย Like Mass.
What is your opinion of blog conferences (socially and educationally) and meeting people you know from online?
If you had asked me that when I first started blogging, I would have stared at you in fear. ย Meeting people from online?!? Insanity. ย And then I met Mama Kat at Red Robin once for dinner with our families way way back in the day, since I happened to be in town. ย She wore her apron and brought her blog book and rattled off things about stats and followers and online people she actually talked to on the phone….and I thought, “Well if Mama Kat says it’s cool….” ย So about a year later I road tripped out for Sitscation where I met some incredible girls that stole my heart….and to this day I still talk/text/and get catcalled with them on street corners. ย {sounds classier than it was…the catcalling, I mean.} ย And then recently, I attended BlogHer where I met even more amazing women, including the rest of the cast of Sits, and once again….my heart was captured. ย I definitely think everyone invested in their blog should attend at least one. ย It will grow you for sure.
Cinnamon Bears or Snickers?
Symphony Bar. ย Oh, and add some toasted marshmallow with a graham cracker on each side, please? ย And yes, I know that wasn’t an option. ย But, a girl wants what she wants.

it’s what i wore out: Vintage pleats? ย To Die for? ย Why, yes.
i don’t speak french, my blog title explained: ย One of the best explanations ever.
from the pages of my journal: ย Get ready for some “oh-my-stars-that-beautiful” goosebumps.
LOVE her blog!!! We definitely need more fashion blogs on the featured blogs!
People like you make me wish for gorgeous, long, flowing locks of hair!

Congrats from someone with a french user name, though I speak a little french, not enough to really get by around those who really know how LOL
Love love LOVE the clothing. Makes me miss my favorite antique store that recently closed. Happy SITS day (a day or several late….I’m horrid I know.)

So glad to find Summer’s blog! It looks awesome. Looking forward to following. Happy SITS day!
Happy SITS Day! Love your sense of style (oh, that coat!)! Heading on over to Le Musings of Moi now!
What a great blog! I think the blog title is adorable ๐ And…very stylish! She seems very energetic and honest, it’s refreshing.
Thanks Michelle!!! Energetic??? =) Only when my son is in school FIVE days a week. haha…that totally helps!!!
So fun, love your style and that you finished the Tracy Anderson Method! I just got Metamorphosis, we will see how it goes and for now you can be my hero!:) Congrats on your SITs day and love love love the ivory dress with the black boots, super fun.
You will LOVE meta!!! Which one did you get? I finished the first 90 days, and am onto continuity. I love her mat work oh so much.
I am doing the hip one. I wasn’t sure exactly which one so I chose that one. So you love it? The mat work is awesome…the dancing everyday isn’t exactly enough variety for me, what did you think? Did it eventually just grow on you?
I do love it now, but not always in the mood for it. =) Sometimes I sneak other stuff in. Shhhh, don’t tell her. =)
Ha! I know, how often can you dance around the living room? Sometimes a good old fashioned run is good too, even though it uses your major muscles, no no.:) It can be our secret and in this house I am shooting for 4-5 days which I think is admirable at this point. I am so impressed by your initial commitment…very impressive.
Happy Friday everyone! ๐
HAHAHAHA….that was NOT for this blog omg. So funny.
p.s. who WOULD want to marry the devil? ๐

Congrats on your SITS day!!! Can’t wait to read some of your blog!
WM
She’s awesome!
noooo…..YOU’RE awesome. =) xoxo
The love that you have for blogging, but more importantly for life and people, just oozes from your responses! I’m new to this site, and I’m glad that I’ve found your blog through the “Featured Blogs”. I look forward to reading more of what you have to say!!! Thanks for sharing your life so openly!!
Man, she is fashionable. Now I feel all intimidated. I can’t even get my dog to wear color coordinated high heels.
(And yes, I *know* it’s not even my dog. It’s my childhood best friend’s parents’ dog. But considering I’ve grown lazy enough to stop adding that classification to the posts now the whole Internet thinks it’s my dog, and I’m pretty sure that’s like possession in some states.)
Have to go check this blog out!
Happy Friday, SITStahs! Stop by and read my Friday Fiction: Love is Where You Find It.
Congrats on your feature! I think it’s great that you met fellow bloggers at BlogHer! ๐
thank you! it was so fun, although….i didn’t sleep for the week before due to massive amounts of nervousness. =) in the end, there was just no need.
