Oooooohhh pretty color mixers! I received one as a wedding gift, as well, but the blah silver is bumming me out.
I’m not sure if it’s considered a “feature” but I love all your wedding planing and seeing what type of shindig you and Jeremy are pulling together. It makes me want to plan a new wedding myself (although I’m PRETTY positive the hubs isn’t down for it)!

The 10 things I love post is wonderful
LOOOVE the blog from top to bottom and side to side! Every feature is a FAV in our house…I particularly love that I can share ALL of it with my girls (eleven and twelve) because you’re such positive role models. Many congrats on 1 million. And THANK YOU for such inspiration!

Plus this is such an awesome giveaway I would love to win a kitchen aid mixer it would make baking so much more fun!

I love photos from your store – especially your creative displays! Thanks for having such a generous giveaway!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This is the best giveaway I’ve ever seen and extremely generous. Congrats on the ever expanding blog.
When I first found your blog I spent the entire week sifting through the archives. I was most awe-struck by Red Velvet shop and how it came to be. I read post after post and my admiration grew. It wasn’t until reading your blog that I thought opening a shop was a possible adventure. I am now opening an online shop this JUNE and I wanted to let you know that it was because of you and your blog that inspired me to go for it.
Congrats again and I can’t wait to hear about your wedding.
My favourite feature is ‘Daily Outfits’. Your style is so cute!
Bethany <3
And in my excitement I totally forgot to mention my favorite part about this blog (which is everything)! I love to pics of your real shop & I love the ten things you love! 😉

congrats Elsie!! awesome giveaway!
my favorite feature on your blog is Project Restyle! ^,^

Ooh!! Thank you for the giveaway chance!
I love your blog and am thankful for your posts as I realize the insane amount of time that you spend on blogging (especially as a blogger myself)!
My most favorite posts are your personal ones like your ten things, your posts about your life, etc… I hope that I don’t sound like a stalker. I’m not! My favorite blogs are always the ones that are personal and about everyday life experience type things that we all can identify with!
Thanks again!
I love the daily outfit posts. So much inspiration! 🙂
Elsie I am so proud of you. Sometimes I think I am fancier just because I know you 🙂 Hope the wedding planning is coming along nicely and you love your kitchen aid. The Plum one is presh!
ASqueeeee! I have wanted a stand mixer for so long, and even though we have no “space” (so I can’t justify BUYING one…), I’m sure getting one for free would be A-okay.
My favorite feature for a long time has been 10 things I love Sundays. I usually “borrow” many of those images for my own inspiration folders on my home computer 🙂
Love the Makeover feature. Always inspiring! Congrats!
My favorite feature is without a doubt “Ten things I love” Its a sort of sneak-peek to all things beautiful without having to choose on a particular subject. I think it sums up your personality in a lovely way.
Thanks!
Love! If I had to pick, I’d choose the “10 things I love” posts, but I have a crush on your whole blog really.
I love your outfit posts! You have such creative style!
Xo Danielle

Congratulations on getting 1 million page views! I am afraid that I subscribe through Google reader so haven’t contributed to that figure as much as I have actually been reading your blog.
My favourite articles re your thrifting trips and 10 things I love sunday x Oh and any time you feature crochet!
I love hearing about your shop. It’s your dream come true. (And it inspires me to reach for mine.) I’ll never get sick of hearing about it!
How fun! Count me in! I love your “10 Things” posts, the makeovers, daily outfits and reading about your wedding plans!!!! Congrats on the 1 million. 🙂

Oh goodness… My fav is the Makover stories. Love them! I’m so not vintagy but it makes me feel like I could be. 🙂
I agree with the above commentress! Your bold and creative outfits rock. And they’d rock even more if I had a KitchenAid (trust me, it makes sense in my mind).
I have been following you for a few years now and have taken part in a course you ran which was so fun and inspiring.
I always look forward to your 10 things posts because more often than not they highlight a new designer or artist I would otherwise not have heard about.
Congrats!!!! Happy 1 Million Views!!!!!!!!

I love the “10 Things I Love” posts!
Your blog is so uplifting! Everything about it. My friend and I recently exchanged the cool blogs we like to check out when we are bored at work and this one is tip top! I love the vintage, bright, boldness – it feels so fresh. I’m especially loving your wedding planning feature and especially the bridesmaid cards!
My favorite has got to be your 10 favorite things list. I was given wise advice to take time out of the day to recognize one thing you had thoroughly enjoyed.. and every time i see your sunday post it reminds me of that great person.
Oh gosh. I have a slight obsession with those mixers! They’re so pretty. I’m a big fan of your “# Before #” birthday goals list. And your styling and photography.
what an incredibly generous giveaway!
if i had to choose a feature, i’d say the “daily outfit” posts. i love the chance to get a peek at your style and find things that might mesh well with my own, or find new ways to wear standard pieces.
I always love seeing the DIY posts.
Congratulations on the million blog views!
1 million?! That’s so amazing. You deserve it. How can I choose just one favorite thing about your blog?! It’s a tie between your ’10 Things I Love’ and Makeover stories!
Casey
I love love love your blog! My favorite thing about them is your posts about how you developed your store and finally accomplishing it and opening your store! It’s such an inspiration!
I also love your photographs… Especially when you do posts on instant photos such as instax minis. LOVE!
makeovers hands down. I Love Sundays are a close second 🙂 Happy 1 million view your Blog Day!
i love hearing about how you’re my age and you’re following your dreams and making life happen exactly how you want. it’s truly inspiring.
and i of course love any updates from the red velvet brick & mortar store and updates on Jeremy’s music <3

Also love seeing your daily outfits (*inspiration*), and reading about how you accomplished your dreams of starting a clothing line. Geeze. Love it all.

Hilsen fra Ingunn fra Norway!
My favorite feature is……anything to do with your impeccable sense of style! The makeovers you have been doing remind me to take pride in how I dress myself. Not to mention it makes me think about how we can all be polished up and pretty if we just take time and creativity to put on new things and go for a style of our own. I’m a bit gothic…so my style is different than yours but that doesn’t mean that I don’t learn from you each and every day. I love your blog and am truly happy for your success. You and your sister are amazingly sweet people and deserve every good thing that comes your way! 🙂 Hearts, Janna Lynn
I think my fav posts are the makeover stories and “how to wear” posts. I love the milk braids you showed, I wear them all the time!
I love the 10 things!!
Hands down best giveaway I’ve seen on a blog EVER! Congrats on the blog milestone!!
I really love your makeover stories, 10 things I love, outfit posts…. I can go on and on.
I love your makeovers! It’s so sweet to introduce people to vintage xx
I love your ’10 Things I Love’ posts and a real sucker for anything about your upcoming wedding. Really excited for your online courses, especially the one about starting your own business. When I have some time to dedicate to it, I’m jumping in!
Congratulations on your little and big successes!
Congratulations Elsie! I love reading your blog so much. I adore your ’10 things I Love’ posts. I’ve seen so many other bloggers doing similar posts but they are never as cute and lovely as yours! Sarah x
It’s no secret that all of your features are excellent to be a part of–they truly make my day! But my favorite (and sort of new addition) is your Daily Outfits.
Whenever I am feeling unsure of my style for the day I know your creativity will perk me up!
Thanks, congrats, and keep doing what you do!
xoxo, Andrea

Congrats Elsie, this is awesome!
Well I started following you because of the DIYs, but I find myself getting so exciting over the 10 things and of course the wedding prep!
Hi Elsie,
My favourite part of your blog are the food related posts (your coffee addiction), and where you show “us” how to wear vintage. As many have already said, I’m loving the makeover stories.
I love the outfit posts, the behind the scenes in the shop, the snippets about your upcoming wedding; not to mention just the feel of the blog, and the colours you capture. If forced to pick one particularly feature to love the most I would go for the posts that act as windows to your inspirations, for instance the 10 things I love posts (ditto for the ten favourite blog posts post), or accounts of your day to day adventures to thrift shops.
i am in love with your personal style! i love any chance i get to see an adorable vintage outfit that you’ve put together!!!

I love the make-over feature! What a fabulous giveaway!
my favorite feature about a beautiful mess, is that you are living proof that someone is able to make a living off of doing what they love. I’m a 18 year old freelance illustrator and writer I’m getting married in May, and I’ve been on my own since before I graduated high school. I love that I can look at this website and remind myself that my dreams are possible.
My favourite is ‘Ten Things I Love Sunday,” but I also love the blog as a whole 🙂

Hi Elsie! Your “10 Things I Love” is and has always been my favorite feature–it connects me to fantastic artists, crafters, and blogs that I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. Thanks for that, and for being such a joyful daily read! Congratulations!
WHOA! What an amazing giveaway!
I’m torn between the daily outfit pics & the 10 Things I Love series. 🙂
OMG. The 10 things are always things I love too (or am about to love)
I love when we get to see what your doing in your shop and how you decorate and organize it!! My other favorite is when we get to see a little into your life outside of blogging(like you and Mr. Larson or you and Emma):). Sorry I couldn’t decide between the two!!
i love your vintage style! and your 10 things i love.
So pretty! I love your makeover series! Very inspiring.
I totally read this wrong at first and almost posted my favorite feature of the MIXER! (which is not having to mix cookie dough by hand hahah) My favorite feature here is seeing your window displays!
Congratulations on your million milestone!! That’s amazing.
My favourite feature is Project Restyle posts, tied with10 Things I Love. DIY inspiration and links to a zillion coveted wonders!! How could I choose?
Mel
Wow, I am a keen baker and have been lusting over a kitchenaid for ages!!
Some of my favourite features on your blog are DIY/crafts, blogging tips, outfits and interiors.
I especially love all of your great photography and styling. Clearly you put so much work into producing great original and unique content.
10 Things I Love Sunday! (But I really, really loved the posts where you unveiled your spring line and the different ways to wear the dresses, too!)
So fantastic! Congratulations on building such a great fanbase around your passions. I love any and all outfit posts you do! You always get me inspired to go back into my closet and come up with new creations!
I don’t know if this counts but I adore your drawings and personal touches of art all over your blog!
But if I had to choose a particular post, I also love 10 things I love as well!
I love your Re-do fashion segments…I am an assistant Draper for a Ballet school and its nice to see it done on street fashion…Love your Blog…
Thanks,
Alicia
I love all of the tutorials and the specials like the “tricks and treats” back in October, and I also really like seeing the progression of Red Velvet over time. Seeing you live out your dreams is inspiring!
I absolutely love the makeover stories!! 🙂 Congratulations on a million views!
OHMYGOODNESS! This is the most magical giveaway ever!
My favorite feature is your makeover stories! I wish I could be a part of it!
xxo
I love how frank and honest you are in all of your posts, and the ‘trade secrets’ you so happily share both in posts and e-courses.
And the Red Velvet store – so beautiful! I get really excited to see posts about your work. 🙂
I have a hard time choosing between 10 things I love and Restyle posts…but I’ll go with Project Restyle posts! 🙂
I love hearing about your wedding plans and all the changes to Red Velvet Shop!
And I’m dying to own a yellow KitchenAid!
Ooh, I have so enjoyed reading the makeover stories — they’re fun, but they also help send the message that vintage fashion (clothes, housewares, everything) is accessible to everyone! Thanks for your creativity and congrats on the million views!
I must say that I am in love with your wedding and outfit posts!! 😀
I love the make over posts. They give me the confidence to try incorporating a little vintage in my life. And I love the shop posts as well – We don’t have anything so cute outside of London in the UK so I love ‘looking around’ and imagining I’m enjoying a famous Red Velvet cupcake while trying on fabulous vintage wear.
Congrats on the million views!
The Makeover Story posts are always my favorite. 🙂
xo Sonya

I don’t really have a favorite on your blog, I tend to look at what you are doing about 5 times a week (once daily while at work) and see where the inspiration will take me. Sometimes it makes me run out and make something, sometimes it persuades me to wear my clothes a certain way, and sometime I just like to look at how brilliant the colors are …I’m a color person!
Best,
sarah k
I look forward to your DIY’s and Decor! 🙂

LOVE these!!! I’d love to bake and bake all day with one! That is amazing that you have so many hits! I get happy when I get over 10 a day!

I am moving to Springfield next week and can’t wait to stop by and see the store! -Katie
Ahhhh! This is SO cool, not just because I am an avid baker but ALSO because I live in Europe and seeing or obtaining Kitchen Aids here are rare and very very VERY pricey things!
Anyways; I really enjoy reading A Beautiful Mess because it covers so many aspects of life and seems so personal. You, your style and your business are such an inspiration and it really gives me the desire and confidence that I can achieve whatever I put my mind to. Thank you <3
Oh my. This would be an awesome giveaway to win because I’ve always wanted one of these. My favorite feature on your blog is “10 Things I Love” because I like lists, and I do a similar thing on my blog but I’m not as ambitious because I only list five things. Ha!
I love love love the ’10 things I Love’ posts. They always brighten up my Monday mornings in New Zealand!
I also love your daily outfit posts. As someone who doesnt actually own any vintage clothes (but hopes too one day soon!), I really love how you mix and match things but how amazing they look when they’re put together!
Congrats on the one million hits! x

If I had to choose just one, I think the daily (mostly :cD) outfit posts are my favorite. Although I thoroughly enjoyed watching you open your new shop, start your dress line, etc. It is inspiring to follow someone making their dreams come true!
My favourite posts are your outfits!!
Wow a kitchen aid! What a generous soul.
Good luck everyone!

I am shameless. I’ll readily admit I look forward to all of your posts, but I always perk up extra when you talk about your tattoos.
Congrats, btw!
I am torn between 10 Things I Love Sunday and Daily Outfit! I will go with daily outfit but really truly the thing that I love most are the posts that are just photos from your life and the store.
Great giveaway! My favorite part of the website are the sneak peaks inside Red Velvet.

This is a great giveaway… I gave my mom one of these mixers a few years ago for her birthday and i think it’s the best gift and most useful i’ve ever given her.. it’s hard to top that every year!
The make overs! Or actually it’s your styling, wether it’s on someone else or on yourself, it’s always an inspiration!
I love all your posts! My favorites have been those that you share projects that you’re working on or house/studio/shop tours.

Nonetheless, winning it will make this girl a very happy one. 😉
I love your blog! It’s hard for me to decide between 10 thing I love feature or the make over stories.
10 Things I Love posts and your outfits!
I have been dreaming of the yellow KitchenAid!
My favourite feature would have to be daily outfits. You have inspired me to dress “cute” a lot more often. My closet is almost all dresses now and I have added a lot more vintage pieces too.
I love 10 Things I Love Sundays! They’re a wonderful little collection of happy every week.
I’m a 10 Things I Love girl… Always something to inspire. Congrats to you- your life seems so full right now! As my mixer has gone MIA in our last few moves, it’s a wonderful opportunity.

I’ve been following for years! Visit daily and always find inspiration. I especially love 10 things I love!
I love your Sunday favorites list. I love lists, and making lists of my favorite things is…well, one of my favorite things. 😀
Anything DIY sparks my interest. Though the 10 things I love is always chock full of inspiration.

Holy moly Elsie!!!!!!!! You rock girlfran, seriously!
I’ve been reading your blog for almost five years and have always looked forward to what you have to say, as well as watching your business grow into what it is today. So proud!!
One of my favorite parts of A Beautiful Mess has always been the honesty in the way you write, whether it’s about bubble tea or a weekend with your family. I can feel the sincerity in your posts and it makes your blog so much more fun to read
. Soooo I guess my favorite feature would be your “daily life” posts!
You’re an amazing lady Elsie!
Congrats again!
My name is Haley and my fav feature is 10 things I love!
I love that every day I can expect to see a new post about something fabulous. You are always on top of it and always have new and inspiring ideas. You are definitely one of a kind.
I really enjoy your DIY projects and the 10 things you love. I always find great websites and blogs from your 10 things you love posts. It really opens people up to other great things.

Wow! Congrats! I visited your shop with Amy, Lydia, Mandy, Kim and Lillian a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome to see the person/store behind the blog.
I think my favorite posts are your personal ones. I like reading the “whatever” stuff along with the wedding prep. When I read a blog I like to know that there’s a true person in there, if you know what I mean. I enjoy the DIY and makeover posts, too, but those aren’t what cause me to read your blog.
GAH. Long comment. Sorry. Ha
Side note: When I graduated from high school, I asked my mom for a Kitchen Aid as a gift. I was disappointed when I got a computer. HA 😉
Oh my goodness, what gorgeous mixers! My favorite posts are the detail ones about your shop!
I am torn! I always look forward to your Daily Outfits and I love to see the 10 Things I Love Sunday!
I love the makeovers!

I have loved watching your store and dress line become a reality over the past year. and of course the outfit posts! i am almost inspired enough to shower and look cute. maybe after finals. 🙂
I realize I sound like a brown-noser, but my favorite part is YOU, Elsie. You are upbeat and do a great job with this blog and your dream. It’s a lot of fun to watch and learn from you. Thanks!
<3 the Daily Outfits!
Pick Me! Amanda Z.! Haa haa!
I have been reading you for a while now and I have so many favorite features, but I really love pics of *the*shop*, I adore all your concept photography (and you’ve inspired me to try some of my own), and I love how you incorporate text/design/photograph at the beginning of almost all of your posts. 🙂

Makeovers!
I love the makeover stories (they’ve all been awesome!), but I also love your posts about your dates with the Mr. You both look so in love and the dates are always so simple & sweet!
my favourite official feature is “10 things I love”… even just the name of it is adorable, let alone the content. But I always look forwards to posts about your family and friends (and Suki) getting little peaks into such a loving and supportive network is beautiful.
Oh my, I am just dying inside. What an awesome giveaway! If I have to choose I think daily outfits are my favorite part of the blog. I also love when you post changes to decor in the shop. It’s great for those of us who can’t see it in person:)
Oh my goodness! Congratulations Elsie. Your blog has been my top inspiration for so long!
My favourite feature is ‘Ten Things I Love Sunday,’ it’s great to check on a boring Monday morning in Australia.
A sunshine yellow mixer would be my pick!
OH MY GOSH! I have never wanted to win anything as much in my life!
My favorite feature is seeing what goes on in the Red Velvet Shop. I’m opening my own coffee shop and art gallery soon and it fills me with hope and excitement and wishes for my own place. You two make it look easy I swear!

My favorite feature is 10 things I love Sunday ! I wasn’t sure what I feel about this day of the week until you come up with this blog post. Now I definitely love sunday !
Hard to pick my favorite as I read your blog every day. I would pick the photos of your store and how you change the look from time to time.
Honestly? The best part of this blog is the “start here” link. It is the reason I kept coming back time after time. Getting the chance to read about your dream job and your life inspired me to great lengths! It has given me motivation, inspiration and a much more creative side. A reading I’ve always looked for! I still find myself coming back week by week to get that “feeling” inside again. Thank you! I love this.

The best bit, without a shadow of a doubt, are the pics of your tattoos, and those of your pals. They’re really unusual, and since I’m about to get my first, I’m certainly getting some good ideas. Oooh and the home decor, I’m a sucker for a bit o’ interior design hehe!
Wish you all the best for your wedding, and I can’t wait to see the pics
Makeover stories! And seeing the store of course. 🙂
I <3 The 10 Things you Love! I can't wait until Sunday, so I follow you on Pinterest, too! Thanks! Jennifer
Either the make overs or the outfits or oh wait the favorite things! I think it was the favorite things that originally drew me in…
Aw, I looove everything! But…I really like the makeover posts and the DIY! So fun!
i love absolutely everything on your blog! i honestly cannot pick one thing…..i do have to say i always enjoy a good DIY and your stories!

And Kitchen Aid mixers are the best. I use the heck out of mine, and I always lust over the ones in pretty colors.
10 things is definitely my fav!!! it’s been my fav for ages and still is!! i also love craft blogs and lil sneek peeks into your home and studio!!! alllll soooo cute…. i want a pug so bad 🙂
***and i’ve been dreaming of a kitchen aide for about 15 years!!! a bright RED one :)***

That purple one is so awesome. My favorite part of the blog is “10 Things I Love”. I always find something new to drool over.
three letters: DIY! I love the project ideas you post and cannot wait to see your wedding project posts. I’m getting married in August and could use the inspiration!
I love all of your blog, but my favorite part is probably all the fashion you post, and I wish there was a store like yours here in Canada New-Brunswick.
I hopped upon “A Beautiful Mess” only a few months ago and I have to say I look forward to your happy, uplifting posts each & every day – no matter the feature, you always have something cute to show us and I really appreciate the dose of positivity in my day!
this is the best giveaway!! my favourite feature is ’10 things i love sunday’, cause there is always so many interesting things to look at that i’ve never seen before! and i love seeing all posts of the store, your photo shoots and all of the displays you’ve been creating.
I’ve been following “A Beautiful Mess” since you were a “scrapbooking icon.” And even though your focus has changed, I still drop in to see what you’re up to. I just love your randomness and openness.
I love your whole spot! Been eyeballing one of your e courses so I guess that’s what I’d choose as a favorite today:)
OOOO Does Kitchen Aide have Orange???
After about a nanosecond of thinking, I’ve realized my favorite part of this blog is your outfit posts. I really like seeing a real person wear such amazing vintage clothing. It makes me grateful not to be the only one who doesn’t dress like an american eagle model.
Also, I am way too excited for your wedding for someone who has never met you! <3
so amazing! one million. congratulations!!! the feature i love most is the personal side you share in your store and your fun date updates, etc.
thanks for such a fun giveaway!
I love the posts about Red Velvet! They are so inspiring!
I really enjoy your daily outfits, you are absolutely adorable and I love to see how you wear different styles and you are constantly giving me inspiration for my own style…I have also loved hearing about your wedding plans and the ideas you have for your big day.
Wow congrats! That is huge news and you should be proud – your blog is amazing! My fav feature is definitely 10 things I love Sundays. So inspirational!
I am a big fan of the 10 Things I Love. But I have to say that the makeovers are a new feature that I enjoy as well. The first one, with Emma’s 70’s inspired hair, is just plain amazing.
Congratulation on the 1 million, and thanks for the giveaway!
Myriam
I really love ten things I love section. I think you are very creative and make it part of my day to read your page.
Congrats Elsie!!! I love the little blurbs about your daily life.
I really love “10 things i love…” because I’m nosy and love seeing little peeks into people’s minds! And because I get to be inspired and discover new, cool things.
I always loved seeing your scrapbook pages and your artwork, but as Red Velvet has evolved it’s been awesome to see inside your shop and to follow as you’ve grown the business from a hobby to an empire. I find myself really interested in the business side now- you make it look effortless because you’re so passionate and driven.
I was at a bake sale last weekend and their tags were made from your scrapbook line. It took me back to my days of obsessively hunting down your products in Hobby Lobbies across America! 🙂 Hehehe
Wow. I love lots about your blog.. but ’10 things I love’ is probably a fave.
I love project restyle! It has inspired me to take on numerous diy projects…no matter how long they take me to finish!
Well, I am in LOVE with your shoe collection, but I’d have to say the 10 Things I love posts are my favorite.
I love everything from you outfits, to the things you love to the little life snapshots, but the number one reason I read day after day is that you are a beautiful, positive, wonderfully creative person who inspires me to take big risks to follow my crafty, vintage dreams. You deserve every view, or whatever it is that makes you feel successful! Emily
10 things i love sunday! my favorite!
Hi Elsie, my name is Vilma Christine and I really enjoy the feature- 10 Things I Love Sunday. You have lovely taste and it’s pure inspiration for us readers. Although I must say Scrapbook posts are my absolute favorite! They remind me of when I first started reading your blog on blogspot. <3
LOVE 10 things I love!…I go gaga for your Etsy finds! Dinosaur planters, anyone?
What a generous giveaway! My favorite feature is posts about your wedding. I’m getting married in December so I love reading about how you’re making your wedding unique.
My absolute favorite feature is the daily outfits! Every day, you dress like you own the world, and look so beautiful. It inspires me to try new things and try to look as spectacular as you!
I love your little diy tutorials and the ten things I love sundays! I always look forward to those!
absolutely love this giveaway!
mine is how much you are committed to your work! it pays off!
Ugh, your killing me withthe “one thing.” Can I say everything? Does that count as one thing? Ok. Probably not.
Well, one thing I love about your blog is that you show us YOU. You as in you, your life, your love, your passion, your creativity, your family. You show us you!!!!
Thank you!
Definitely “10 Things I Love”. I’m a list fanatic. Anything where someone else has done the research and presents a pretty package for me to peruse makes like easier and sweeter. Love your blog!

I love your favorite ten things lists 🙂 I also love the blog design with the cute handwritten links.

My favourite feature would have to be your 10 Things posts…they give me so much inspiration!

Oh my goodness! Congrats. My very favorite features are the makeovers and hearing about new RVA developments.
I love the daily outfits!
What a wonderful prize! My favorite feature is basically anything having to do with running a small business! I always find inspiration and great tips here.
WOW! The mother load of giveaways! What a dream! I can’t choose one! 10 Things I Love or A Makeover Story. I also adore every post that has to do with your business and working for yourself. I am hoping to reach a similar goal for myself and you have been so inspiring. 🙂

My favorite feature is definitely the makeovers and your wedding plans! 🙂
I’ve been lusting over those pretty colors for so long… especially since my poor kitchen is severely lacking in just such an appliance. 🙂
I love Things I love Sundays – such good finds!

Well, I always love the “Ten Things I Love” feature, but lately, the “Makeover Stories” have stolen my heart. I can relate to them! I have been trying to make a few changes myself. Thank YOU!
i’m pretty sure i helped a lot to the million… i refresh your blog like thirty times a day 😉
i love it all. clothes. your tips. advice. just the whole package.
this giveaway is so lovely… and much needed/wanted so badly!
I love the 10 things on Sundays, but the makeovers have been inspiring as well. Thanks for sharing so much.
Like so many readers it is the makeovers that are my fav! I live in Springfield so I was hoping you could do a 40 something makeover ; ) Can’t wait to see your wedding pics, I am sure it will be uber special! Psst! After 27 years of marriage I need a new mixer!
My favorite is ’10 things I love.’ So much new pretty to see!

I’d do anything to win this for my mom. She has always wanted one but could never afford it. How lovely mother’s day is just around the corner. It’s kismet.
You are an absolute inspiration and such a lovely well rounded person. That’s why you have millions going to your blog. They lurk for the clothes, make up, shoes, but they stay for you. Hope you never forget that.

I love your 10 things I love posts 🙂 I WANT ONE OF THOSE MIXERS soooo bad!
I LOVE the store up dates!
Always fun to watch a DREAM come TRUE!
Thanks for the chance !
Love love love Lindsay
oh so pretty and very exciting, my fave feature is ’10 things I love’ its the best eye candy
My mom has been wanting one for a long time! I would definitely give it to her, though I’d love to use it as well.
You set out what you want to do, and you do it. There is nothing more beautiful than that. Of course no one thinks about the hardships you go through, they say, “Oh you own a store, lucky,” but I know you worked your butt off for it.
I love the chronicles of Elsie’s outfits – not only is it inspiring to see the creativity involved in putting them together, but I’m sure it must be fun to look back on them. I like the idea challenging yourself to be thoughtful and take the time to put together a fun, stylish ensemble.
It helps to break me out of the same old, same old and take some risks with what I wear.
Congrats Elsie! I love your makeover stories! When are you going to do one on Amy Ruth?!
Your incredible photo stories and editing! I LOVE how you put it all together, and make it all jive in a very contemporary way. KUDOS TO YOU!!!
my favorite features are your DUI tuitorials and pictures of your home decorations!! congrats on your big numbers!
i have always loved your blog!!! you are an inspiring person and i love it!
I love your “10 Things I Love” posts SO MUCH. You always find things that are beautiful and inspiring and I get a little pickmeup every time I read them. <3xox0
I love lots of things about your blog…things i love, diy projects, peeks into your shop…It’s just a nice, positive, pretty place to come and look around!
AHH ive been wanting one of these 🙂
I love your make over stories.

I love all the TLC that goes into your posts. I hope you know that it’s not overlooked.
I’ve loved your blog for years! My fave feature now is anything related to your wedding- so fun to see your unique spin on it and also your happiness about it!
I am definitely a fan of the makeover stories! I am a vintage lover but find it hard to change up my style beyond jeans and shirts, so I really take inspiration from these posts. Keep em coming.
Kacy – Perth, Western Australia

Your ‘ten things I love” always make me fall in love too. This is an awesome and quite generous giveaway!! Eeek! I hope I win!! 🙂 And congratulations on your 1 million views. It’s well deserved.

i love project restyle! & that your update with quality posts almost daily 🙂
I love the MAKEOVER posts and 3Ways to wear it!
Great ideas on how to re-use things in my closet.
I could not possibly pick one feature that I love more than the others, your blog is my total blog crush! If I had to pick just one though, it would be the DIY stuff, particularly the home related ones. I’m in the process of redoing my apartment and have taken a lot of cues from your home!

I love to browse those tattoo pics you have. They’re all so beautiful. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love your photos – they’re always so fun!
-audrey
Hey Elsie
I really really want this. I love making cupcakes!
I have a specific article that you wrote that it my favorite and I hope it counts as a feature. I am not a long time reader but you article titled “on being a workaholic & still having a life…” was really inspiring. I love my job and what I do, but sometimes I get stressed and overwelmed. I have a hard time not letting the stress get to me and reading that really helped. It was inspiring and you posted it at a perfect time.
I enjoy all your posts, and the DIYs outfits are my favorite, but I thought I would share something that I really connected with.
Thanks for brightening my days with your blog articles!
Jess
This is an amazing giveaway!!!! I love your outfits! They give me inspiration for my own outfits 🙂
How nice of you! 🙂
I love all your posts, but I like the RV features more!
Oh WOW, this is the one thing I REALLY wanted when I got married, but still don’t have! You are so lucky and extremely generous, Elsie! Thank you!
My favourite feature on A Beautiful Mess are your Daily Outfit posts. They really help me mentally put together outfits and you really have made me more adventurous with my clothing. I buy more dresses and skirts now because I realize how FUN it can be, without needing to be all ‘matchy matchy’. Thank you so much for that… I love it and so does my husband! hehe 🙂
-Andrea Thornley
The “10 Things I Love” posts are always my favorite. I can draw so much inspiration from them & I just love looking at all the pretty things! The shoes edition you did last week was pretty much amazing :] really hope I can win this! I don’t usually enter giveaways, but this is just too awesome to pass up. The light blue is my favorite!
You are one of the most inspiring people. As a girl who aspires to owning her own business it is awesome to know that it really is possible to live out your dream. So I guess that is my favorite feature.
I always love the “10 Things I Love” posts!
-Holly T.

I am a 70’s girl! I love the glimpses of the shop, and the various ways to change the look of a dress.
My favorite is your list of things you want to do before you next birthday. I made my own list after being inspired by you!!
i love the pictures of your store that you post. i have wanted to open one for years and i am so inspired by your decorating, merchandising, etc. i love how you blogged about the whole process– you definitely have something to be proud of!

My favorite posts are the “10 things I love” <3
EEEEEEEKKKKK!!! so excited the colours are stunning. Although I am a fanatical green girl, I’d have to get the blue one for my sister for a wedding present to!
My favourite thing is the way you share your motivation for life with everyone – albiet through preparing for the shop, for trying to be yourself through clothes, through make-overs, shop windows – thru everything. Elsie, you could be so selfish with how you run your life and your blog, but you really motivate so many of us daily and we are really thankful!
luv bindi
i love your makeovers, its lovely to see people re-inspired by fashion 🙂 happy wedding too!
AHH! I want to win this so badly!

I love the vintage styling. It is so relevant to the fashion of today.

What I love most about A Beautiful Mess is how you incorporate the “loves” in your life. You include fashion, creativity, family, Red Velvet and of course your other half, Jeremy. It is obvious you are passionate about life and it comes out in your blog.
Thanks for sharing your heart and a little bit of your life with us.

Im a total sucker for makeover stories…but my absolute favorite posts are the ones where you share a bit about your business, your outlook on work and life, and how you manage to stay seemingly so happy, balanced and constantly creating.
Inspiration. 🙂

Also, I can’t tell you how obsessed I am with a KitchenAid mixer. It is the ONE thing I HAVE to have once we finish our kitchen!!!
OMG! the yellow one is so lovely!
My favorite part is always “10 things I love” 🙂
I really like to read all about your shop. It sounds so exciting to start your own business. Very inspiring!
The studio section is my favorite because its full of spiffy pictures and artsy inspiration.

I love the makeover stories, your outfit pictures, your behind the scenes of your dress line, and the list goes on… Thanks so much for always being an inspiration!
OH MY GOSH! So happy for you, I started following you in the Summer of 2009 & Haven’t missed a thing since 🙂 You are so inspiring in so many ways, Congratulations!!!! What an exciting month for you!! It’s hard to pick just one favorite feature…..but if I had to choose one I’d say all the e-courses you offer what a great way for all your followers (including myself) to interact and join in as you inspire them 🙂

10 things I love series has sent me off on so many random tangents.
I absolutely love reading the more personal stuff on your blog. The “Jeremy & Elsie” stuff, ie: your engagement photos, & his music, or inside sneek peeks at your home.. those are always my fave, because it lets your readers know just how real you are.
Congrats on 1 Million views! That is an amazing feat! Keep up the great work!!
The makeovers and I just love emma and her recipes! Yum! 🙂
I’m getting married June 4th…the baby blue mixer would be a great addition to our 70’s style blue kitchen! 🙂
I’m so in love with your makeover stories, but your DIY’s are always wonderful too!
Fingers crossed. <3
-Cara
My favorite part of your blog is your photos 🙂
I love your DIY and outfit posts!
Elsie! I love hearing about your wedding plans. I’m crazy about your invitations and want to do something similar.
Great giveaway!
I love when you post your top 10 things I love on Sunday!I also love all the clothes you post and when you posted what was in your purse. I actually bought that perfume you talked about from Anthropolgie that smells like coconut (LOVE IT). 😀
Brittany
As many have commented, my favorite feature about your blog is the ’10 Things I Love’ weekly posts. It’s nice to get a bit of random inspiration here and there. Also another thing I have enjoyed from your blog has been reading and seeing the pictures from the progress of your store! I think it’s an amazing accomplishment and I love seeing how all of you at Red Velvet express your creativity!
Thanks!
Hilary
I love the constant updates and ideas for your wedding!!! It gives me so many for my own!
Hmmm so hard to choose!! I would have to say your outfit posts… 🙂 I lovee being inspired by your vintage and unique looks! Soo cute! I also love the 10 things I love post and just all the wedding posts! Soo excited!!
Swoon, what a lovely prize! Well I am a sucker for make-overs so i have to go for that section of your blog, but I really like all of it 🙂
how awesomely generous of you!
my fave is of course your diy’s. they never disappoint. :)))
xxo
I started reading years ago for the scrapbooking but I live for wedding planning news as I’m getting married in a month! I also love interior design stuff, whether pics of the shop, your pad, or magazine love!
OH MY! I cannot believe you are giving one of these away! I would die!
My favorite part is the DIY, I love all the ideas!
I love the photos… all of them… I always look at the pictures first then go back and read the blog.
Love this giveaway 🙂
I love the makeover stories! I think they’re an inspiration to a lot of ladies out there, myself included. I especially loved the maternity makeover, as I’m currently 39 weeks pregnant myself and still love wearing vintage!
What’s not to love about your blog? I love your outfit posts and the makeover stories but I think my favorite thing right now is hearing updates about your wedding. I’m planning mine now too – also mostly DIY stuff – so I love checking out what other people are doing and where they’re finding their inspiration.
Congratulations on the 1 million – that’s awesome! My favorite feature of A Beautiful Mess is your “10 things I love” Sundays because they always remind me of things that I love, too. Or they’ll be something completely new and different and I find a new thing I love.. and what’s better than that? 🙂
Thanks! Kristina
I love your blog! My favorite feature is definitely the outfit posts! 🙂
Congratulations on one million views! that’s amazing:)
I like all features(especially DIY and the 10 Things I Love posts), but I am really loving the new Makeover Story features:))

My fave feature is 10 Things I love… I love seeing the things you are digging, and always find something fun/pretty/inspiring to enjoy.
Have drooled over these kitchen aid mixers since I was a child looking through Mum’s house magazines. Would looooove to call one of these babies my own!!
Cheerio Ladies
My favorite feature? I love all the DIYs!
I have been reading your blog for just over 2 months now and I absolutely love it! You have inspired me in so many ways, including to start my own blog which has yet to launch because I am a perfectionist and know it will never measure up to your amazing blog! Anyways, I love your “10 Things I love” post. Always gives me great ideas!
P.S. Fun fact when you get married we will have the same last name! I got married 9 months ago and love being Mrs. Larson!
oh my goodness!!
i have been following a beautiful mess for quite a bit of time now thanks to a wonderful friend for recommending it to me!
my favorites are “things i love”, the makeover stories, outfit posts and i love reading about your wonderful adventures:)
I love the Makeover Stories!!!
what first drew me to “a beautiful mess” was a photo shoot you did a few months ago at your shop. it was absolutely captivating that i needed to see more!
The feature of yours that has made the biggest impression on me is your “5 Tips for Bloggers” section. Before finding that, I very much wanted to start a blog but for some reason I was having a lot of trouble getting one going. Then, I stumble across your beautiful site, find your ‘about me’ section, and become totally invigorated by your 5 tips for newbie bloggers like me! My blog finally got going. Thank you for continually inspiring me with your photos & stories, and for this wonderful chance at winning a KitchenAid mixer!
I love the makeover stories!!! Very inspiring and show me how to coordinate new looks 🙂
Congratulations!
My favorite is the 10 things I love.
Can I say everything is my favorite?? Your blog is one of the few that I look forward to reading EVERY DAY!! I love seeing the outfits you wear, I love seeing your sister, I love the makeover posts, I love seeing your shop, I love wedding updates, I love everything!
Sorry, I really would pick a favorite but I just can’t! (and yes, I realize that I sound like I am sucking up…but I’m not)
I loveee the makeover stories 🙂
Oh gosh! Its so hard to pick one. Well I just LOVE and adore EVERYTHING!!! Although right now Im loving the makeover stories! so sweet!
Peace and love
-Michela

My favorite thing on a beautiful mess is reading your really personal posts. The last one was about how your a workaholic. I love the reality of these post.

I LOVE the makeover stories!! I also love seeing all the photos of your life. You are such an inspiration!
I’m new to blog commenting, but this giveaway is too good to pass up! Good time to start I guess. I run a coffee bar in Dallas and am about to move into a new apartment in a couple weeks. I’ve been dreaming of a KitchenAid for awhile now since I still do all my baking for myself and the shop with a hand held mixer! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog. I’ve got a style crush and look forward to the project re-style and DIY posts, keep em’ coming!
-Melissa
The Makeover features are the best! Always inspiring and helps me with my own outfits!
I am so happy for you, Elsie. You deserve all the success and recognition of your blog. Seeing your business and blog bloom into something so big is such a HUGE inspiration for me, in the midst of everyone trying to discourage me, just because “it doesn’t earn a lot of money”. I can only hope one day that I will be able to open up my very own shop one day, and be able to support local and small businesses entirely. <3 I love this little quote, so true:
"Buy local when you can, support your neighbor, not the man."
Cheers!
So exciting! I love the makeover stories because they are inspiring and PROOF that anyone can pull off looking adorable! 🙂 Your blog is just full of inspiration!
I love the Project ReStyle, always inspiring & a spark of creativity in the middle of the day.
those mixers are so pretty!
I am always excited to read the makeover posts! Since I live in Springfield, it’s fun to see local people in the features.
Oh boy, while pouring my heart out to you, it completely slipped my mind that I wanted to mention my favorite feature is either the Makeover Stories or when you post DIY tutorials. Both are so inspiring, gah!
eeeek! congratulations!
“ten things i love sunday” is always an inspiration!

Wah! My favorite are your “10 Things I Love Sundays”. I really loved your shoe edition!
I just discovered your “Beautiful Mess” this evening and I think it’s amazing! Although, I’m a grandmother of 5, My artsy and whimsical heart is still 18. I know that I will be up half the night getting acquainted with you and your your wonderful features. I especially like the DIY articles. Many years ago, I had a vintage KitchenAid Mix Master that I inherited from favorite aunt and when I gave it away, it was still running like a dream. I’ve never been able to replace it with another KitchenAid and would love to have one to prepare all the surprises and holiday treats that my grandbabies so enjoy. Thank you for sharing your passions with those of us that need that special spark to make our day.
I love, love, love the makeover posts! Such darling inspiration.
I love it when you post ten things I love, BUT ANYTHING you post inspires me. PLEASE OH PLEASE pick me! YOu have NO icea how very much I want this mixer. This is the most I have EVER wanted to win a giveaway!!!

My favorite part of your blog is that your artwork shows up here and there in ways that I don’t expect. I love your little doodles and drawings of girly faces. They always make me smile and I love your style. As a fan of your scrapbooking products for years now, I love knowing the face and personality that goes with it. You boost my creativity. Thank you! I guess that’s not exactly a “feature” on your blog, but that is what I look forward too the most. 🙂

And yes, i think it’s the best giveaway ever , thnak you 😉
Congratulations on 1,000,000 hits in 30 days!!
My favorite part of the blog is seeing your style come out in your fashion, art, and inspiration!
I didn’t know how to make things cute before I started reading this, and I definitely didn’t have the courage/knowledge for starting my own business. You’ve inspired me in so many ways as a girl, vintage lover, aspiring indie-business woman, and artist!
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done through this blog and keep up the great work! Love you Elsie!!!!
Congratulations! I love seeing peeks of your store and little projects you are working on. Also the ‘5 tips’ posts that have been there were great.
Congratulations Elsie! You honestly are SO deserving and have such a fun colourful blog. The feature I used to like the most was when you would talk about tattoos. I know your regular features have now changed (except for ten things) but thats the one i loved. and your DIYs. i looooove your DIYs.
You’re shoes are PHENOMENAL
So many features to choose from! But I love you DIY-projects and the make-over stories, but I love it too when you tell from your stores too.
xx
wow! that is amazing. congratulations!!
i can’t pick a favourite feature but i do love the project restyle stuff and i think your photos are stunning.
Hi Elsie and Emma! So I read your blog everyday and the reason is because I see you as such an inspiration! I guess you could say that my favorite feature are the post about your growing business.

Adry Perez!
i think your studio pictures are rad. the foxes on the bulletin board really make me smile 🙂
Well Im not trying to be a suck up, but I love all your features. But my favorite one would probably have to be your daily outfits. For a couple of reasons, I love everything about your stlye and when you do one you go into a personal level which is awsome and I feel like I know you. I really don’t care if I win (It would be nice:) I just want to tell you how much you have been an insperation. You are a big part of why I have started a blog (its not really up and running yet but it will get there) thank you for taking us on an awsome jurney with you:D

Difficult to choose actually… I really like your ’10 things I love’ posts 🙂
I love the home decor posts the best.
My name is Tara.
I adore your shop, your daily outfits, and hearing about your love story with Mr. Larson.
I love seeing 10 things I love…it’s another source for awesomeness that I may not get to see otherwise.
I always read the 10 things I love post. It’s ram packed with inspiration and eye sweeties.
my favorite blogs are any of the ones about red velvet! yay for thrift stores and bubble tea. 🙂
Hi Elsie & Emma. My favourite part of the blog is just how inspirational you are. You push me to try reaching my dreams, think bigger and give me courage to try everything. You do everything and you put all of your heart into it, I don’t think there’s a greater inspiration than that.
I love Daily Outfits! You kind of my inspiration on what to wear:) Right now, I am making my own Granny Squared Cardigan! Thanks Emma & Elsie!
I love your daily outfit posts! It gives me lots of inspiration when I’m standing in front of my wardrobe full of of doubts about what to wair :).
Thank you for all those lovely posts!
Tamar
How Delightful 🙂 My favorite posts are DIY and hand made projects- I’m a sucker for crafts! I also love the 10 things, photo-happy posts. It’s fun to have a peek into some of your inspiration each week.
<3 Heather
mmmh it’s difficult to choose from all the nice and fun things 🙂 but I would say the make over & the DIY 🙂
I’m very impressed with all the things you managed to do, and the Red Velvet stories’a must read !
“10 Things I Love Sundays” is my absolute favorite of your blog features! You have the ability to find the most amazing and beautiful things…
I’ll have to agree with the majority of commenters here and say that your new Makeover Story posts are my fave. :c)
Big congrats Elsie! 🙂
I really love hearing about how your store is coming along, and all the exciting news about your upcoming wedding. I love hearing all the excitement in your posts about the planning. I’m coming up to my 10th wedding anniversary this July, and it reminds me of how excited my husband and I were about our special day. We are renewing our vows this year, and we are really excited about that- just as much as that day in 2001! Plus I love your makeovers too- so great to see you making others feel pretty and confident in themselves 🙂
I love your 10 Things I Love Sundays! You always have such neat things on those posts!
-Bonnie
My fav feature is your DIY projects!
what a marvellous giveaway!
I love your DIY projects, and thanks for making me aware of Project Restyle.
I love ’10 things I love’ sunday! It always inspires me 🙂
I love Daily Outfits! Always sweet and interesting.
Outfits, home decor, daily reads and 10 things you (and me too) love! Your blog is very inspiration!
I love the vintage makeover stories. I got really excited when you introduced them because I have recently become interested in finding vintage items for my own wardrobe. Plus, I love reading about the women you feature. 🙂
Yippee!! This may sound totally corny, but it’s your HAIR! Or rather, how you style your hair. I must live vicariously through you, but I want hair like YOU! And all those cute little headbands, and flowers, and clips. I have hair envy.
Oh and the DIY’s…I like those too.
And the cupcakes…
wait, I think I’m admitting to some big time blog stalking.
I love your ’10 things I love’ posts which are always so inspiring and pretty! It is hard choosing a favourite when you love it all! Xx
I love visiting your sight and seeing the “10 things I love” post. I also really enjoy the outfit pictures you post. Such inspiration!

how exciting! I was about to put this accessory on my next christmas list! congratulations for your first million and my favorite feature, if I have to choose, is the makeover story!
Please please pick me!
I love everything in your blog. It gave to me some inspiration to open similar type of shop in Lithuania. It’s still the dream, but all my dreams came true. 😀
I love getting to see peeks of what your store looks like, because living in Ireland, it’d be kind of hard for me to see it in person! I do hope some day that when I’m road-tripping across the states, I’ll call in and buy something amazing and pass it down to my daughters and grand-daughters…some day 🙂
Fiona
Congratulations, Elsie! <3 I read your blog everyday, but my favorite feature would be everything like diy projects and studio peeks! 🙂

one million?!!??! you’re an inspiration!
My favorite inspiring feature: your daily outfit posts!
My very very favorite blog feature is the makeover story. It’s so inspiring to see how many different styles you can get out of vintage clothes.
But I’m also in love with your outfit posts. It sometimes makes me wonder how large your closet is, as you never seem to be wearing anything twice. haha 🙂
Love the DIY projects and updates on your sweet life!
My favorite thing about your blog would be the daily reads, such as outfit posts, about you & Jeremy and what goes on in your real life.
Oh I would be so lucky to be the winner! In my wildest dreams!
omg, I about died when I read this giveaway. I have been gushing over this mixer and begging my husband to buy it for me forever now and still no luck. Its really hard to pick a favorite because I am a daily reader but I love your wedding prep posts! I cannot wait to see how it turns out and I am a sucker for party planning!!

Your daily outfits always inspire me and help me think outside the box. This whole blog is a little piece of happiness for me at least 3 times a week <3 keep doing what you're doing lady 🙂
Hello! I discovered your blog by chance and I LOVED your one off story telling us about how you set about launching your label. It is my dream to do that sometime soon and even though things work differently here in Uganda, I got some great advice form that post.
I also like the “10 things I love” feature.
I have two favorites: “10 things I love” and peeks into your store, oh and studio! So perhaps three favorites? But really, I love it all :).
God I’m so unoriginal.. anyway, makeover stories, aaalll the way! They give us, shy and goofy vintage-wannabes that little push we need to try nwe things! I’m much of a “ooooh that’s so pretty, I just don’t picture myself in it” kind of girl, so I love seeing a person change his/her style for just a post, it’s refreshing! I guess we can all be just what we want to, right?
That’s so sweet of you 🙂 My favourite feature is the ’10 things I love’ posts.
Ow, I love this mixer in yellow! Would be great to make cookies.
I like the post about red velvet the most. We don’t have many great stores over here and you really inspire me to look and create more options in The Netherlands.
I always look forward to the “10 Things I love” posts. I have found many treasures via these posts! I especially loved the shoe edition this week. : )
OMG… I would love to win this to my sister, she would get so excited!!!
I love your “10 things I love sundays” posts, always such a good mix of cool things! And I’m also a fan of posts with you and Mr.Larson, such a cute lovestory:)
IDA
i love the daily outfit posts 🙂 and DIY!

As a small business owner myself, I love hearing/seeing shop updates! Also as a small business owner who spends remarkably less time on personal style since embarking on opening a donut shop, I L-o-o-o-o-o-v-e the Makeover Stories. Long overdue for one!
This was one of the first blogs I started reading, back before I had a blog of my own and a full-blown blog addiction, before I knew about blog readers or comments or html, and I remember checking in on Sundays to see what what things you loved.
So pretty! My favourite has to be 10 Things I Love Sunday as it’s what hooked me into your site in the very beginning 🙂
Congratulations!
Defo the ’10 things I love’ part”

I’ve never commented before, but I’ve been following your blog for a while now, in search for inspiration to start my own blog.

I must say the tattoo segment hits me close to home as it has been recent inspiration to get the courage to tattoo myself. Seeing people so happy and living with their beautiful choices makes me less likely to feel regret and excited about my own inspiration for a tattoo.

My favorite feature I have to say would be your outfit posts. I Love your style. The way you pair items is so fun. One that stands out in my mind is an outfit you wore recently with a sweater from your grandma and jeans and stacked wooden heels. It was just perfect.
A close second would be the makeover stories! I love a makeover!
I loe many features but the project restyle is what I prefer 🙂
My old mixer (not a KitchenAid) is on the fritz so this would be a dream come true for me! I love the makeover stories and your daily outfit posts the best–so much to inspire me!

I was just telling my oh so adorable husband about your beautiful green mixer and how I want one as soon as my repurposed kitchen is complete. Instead of gutting the kitchen and getting all new stuff, we are repurposing and reusing in an effort to reduce our “footprint” and it is turning out to be magical! Our little house is “evolving” instead of being destroyed and rebuilt. I would love to add one of these little beauties to my quaint little place. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Oh, I forgot to add to my comment, I love your top ten lists or the “whats in muh bag” posts!
I love the 10 things YOU love!

Hi. My name is Chelsea.
And my favorite part about your website is most definitely the wedding part. I will be getting married in two years, and you are such a cute little inspiration to me.
And in particular your invites were TO DIE FOR.
You are precious. The end.
OMG this is probably the best giveaway I have ever seen, I have wanted a kitchenaid mixer for years and years. Everytime I go into a kitchen store I stare longingly at them and swoon over the pretty shiny colors.
I love your daily outfits, such great inspiration and use of vintage pieces. I also love the makeover posts and the DYI. Its not surprising that you have reached 1 million views in a month. You have such a great blog with so many excellent posts and features. You ladies have a little something for everyone 🙂

My favorite part of your blog is seeing how accomplished and successful you’ve become. Since I first saw you in CK magazine, and you were then wedding photographer, I’ve followed your blog and been SO inspired by how hard you work and how successful you’ve become. It’s inspired me to finally sell my creations on etsy and open a booth at our local flea market. It’s all because of you and your daily inspiration!
As a follower for a few years now, I love seeing 10 things every Sunday, but also those little snippets of the shop are great! Oh, And outfit posts! You’re such an inspiration and a very generous soul. =)

WOW!! I am in LOVE with this giveaway!
I adore the Makeovers 🙂 I like how the outfits you make with vintage do not look like costumes.
I *love* the makeover stories. (I think I secretly hope I can be in one someday.) 🙂
I absolutely LOVE hearing about all your wedding plans, and the 10 things I love. And I love baking so this would be amazing!!
Your DIY project posts are always most inspiring for me. Congrats on your amazing numbers, and thanks for offering such a generous giveaway 🙂

Oh! Wow! So many features are wonderful on here that it is hard to choose just one. I would say probably the “10 Things I Love” is a favorite because everything on there is so inspiring. I also like the sneak peeks of the shop and clothing line– you are inspiring a generation of ladies to take the cities by storm. xoxo
The makeovers are simply beautiful, me thinks! And your store looks so fun and unique!
I love all the DIY’s that you show! I also love the pictures of your store…
Thanks!
I just started reading a few days ago, so I’m not really aware of all the “features”…but I love the calming chaos your blog contains! The eclectic style of colors and images, graphics and photos make me want edit my whole life and find your style inside of myself!
yay for one million! definitely your makeovers. it’s such a fun twist on a traditional makeover to do it with vintage – love it! <3
It’d be so awesome to upgrade from my dinky hand mixer! 🙂 I love the 10 Things I Love feature…I know there are a lot of list-making bloggers out there, but you’re lists are always unique and full of instant loves.
i look forward to the makeover series + ‘the 10 things i love’. and of course, seeing what shoes you are wearing! 🙂
Hey! I LOVE when you feature behind-the-scenes photos of you and the girls working on the Red Velvet line! As a dressmaker, I know how much goes into the creation of a garment and I appreciate you showing this! (but I really do love everything on the blog 🙂 )

I love everything about your website. I have enjoyed your daily outfits and the links to other sites similar to yours! I just love coming to it everyday to see what creative things you have come up with. My daughter and I hope to visit your store the next time we come to Nixa, MO. We are from Fort Wayne, IN. Have a GREAT day!
That’s awesome congrats!
Without a doubt it has to be the ’10 Things I Love’ posts. All the editions are so inventive and creative! I find your blog really positive which I love 🙂
Wow this is so generous! 🙂 Congrats on the 1 million! I think my favourite feature is the Ten Things I love Sunday, because I get to discover so many lovely things! Katie xoxo

Amazing giveaway! My favourite thing would be the photos of all of the vintage clothes, all of them, I especially love anything posted about the shoes. I also love the shop photos. So cool. Okay so I love everything, too hard to choose just one.
I can’t pick one favorite. I think I’d say overall, it’s the inspiration you’ve offered me to chase my dreams and be creative in spite of everyone telling me to focus on doing something I can have a career in (or something they think I can have a career in…). That inspiration led me to go back to school to get my master’s degree in Christian counseling (in Springfield actually…my husband and I will be moving this summer from South Dakota) and to start a ministry (see url). Both my husband and I are writers…word artists I suppose. I believe wholeheartedly that God puts things like this in our lives to push us in the direction He wants us to go. Thank you for being that for me.
Waw, a kitchenaid!!!! I really would love to have one. I’m always looking forward to your stories according your wedding. Love all the preperations.
xxx, Isolde
seems that i’m not the only one in love with the makeover stories… but i also love seeing all of your pretty styling for both new and vintage photoshoots!!
<3 barb
how sweet! i love reading about your wedding planning, makes me wish i had another to plan. 🙂

I just love the eclectic nature of your blog. I love the design, I love the layout, your posts and just your general sense of writing draws me in. You really bridge the gap of cyberspace & I feel as though I am reading something one of my close friends wrote rather than someone whom I’ve never met. 🙂
Congratulations on hitting such a milestone!! I was elated when I recieved my first TWO followers last week. So I can’t even imagine what it’s like having a MILLION!!
Happy Blogging and here’s to the next million 🙂
Elsie, Congratulations to the million! You must be very very proud!

Hi Elsie.
Congratulations!!
I’ve been dreaming of a Kitchen Aid since I was a teenager. And since I am now, since 12th of august 2010, married to an American I think I really need to make that dream come true. 😉
I love when you talk about your shop and I swoon over every single picture from it. I would definitely have already visited if I wasn’t in Iceland but I sure hope I can one day when we come for a visit, my husband is from NJ, or move there.
Thank you for the endless inspirations.
Love from Iceland,
Dögg (its really hard to pronounce but it actually means Dew)
“10 things I love” I look toward every week. along with most everything else.;)
I’m really inspired by your story in general. I have a few fashion passions, but I’m not driven into doing anything with them. It’s refreshing to find someone that seems to have it figured out. To do what you love and to be so good at it, it’s really awesome. Congrats on your success! (Also, 10 Things I Love posts are my fav. because you love things both wonderful and adorable.)
The make over stories…love them to pieces! It makes me want to stand outside your shop and beg for one!
I love everything!! I guess if I had to narrow it down, the makeover stories and your Ten Things I Love are my two faves!
I so, so love the “10 Things I Love” posts. They are always such a beautiful mix of simple pleasures, meaningful snippets of your life, and lofty, high fashion. I look forward to them every Sunday.
Thanks for such a lovely, inspiring blog!
May
Oh my goodness! I want a kitchenaid mixer so badly! My favorite feature is definitely when you show little snippets of your home/studio/shop. Congrats on a million!

Love your blog!

I always look forward to 10 things I love and I loooove all the personal little stories you post.
I really love when you post DIY’s! I’ve gotten such inspiration!
Sarah
So generous!
I love it all, but find the outfit posts to be particularly lovely. 🙂
My favorite feature(s) would have to be your daily outfit, or the makeovers you have recenty started doing.
Love them both!
My favourite feature is simply to be able to see what you are up to every day. Always new adventures, pretty dresses and shoes, and fun things in the shop 🙂
Also, congrats on the one million views!! (again, love, the vintage makeover series, but also when you show desserts and other yummy concotions you and Emma come up with)
To be completely honest, i love everything =)
But if i had to pick, it’s your 10 things posts ~ when you posted last week i believe it was about your love of the Brady Bunch girl’s rooms and Lux Lisbon i truly felt like the blog heavens had opened and spoke to me directly telling me that A Beautiful Mess is exactly where i need to be!
I love the home decoration, and I absolutely loved the birds in the post about feathers! Birds are sooo qute to decorate with, and I love them so much that I’m getting a tattoo of flying birds in the near future some time 🙂
Wold love to win a kitchen aid as I’m finally ending my time as a student, and Im’ about to move in to a new appartment. The kitchen aid would be the perfect feature in my new kitchen! 🙂
Lots of love, M
DIY Projects!

I really love the makeover stories. I also like seeing the updates about your wedding — I just got married so I got to do all that fun stuff earlier this year =)
I really love your “10 Things I Love” posts 🙂 And just the photos you post in general always have such great colors.
Such an awesome and generous giveaway, Elsie! My favorite feature is anything about Red Velvet…I love getting peeks into the store and seeing what kind of fun projects you girls are working on! 🙂
I am always inspired by your DIY projects and look forward to them.
I first got hooked on you when you were scrapbooking and wrote the 52 Scrapbooking Challenges book. Reading the stories of your life through that book helped me to get to know you. Then, you kinda disappeared for a while… and reemerged as a butterfly. Since starting up this new blog and taking a different direction in life, I have come to know another side to you. Throughout it all, however, I have seen that you are driven by strong goals and great passion. My hat goes off to you and your 1 Million milestone as you continue to grow your readership and spread inspiration and enthusiasm. Blessings!
I love your outfit posts! I love seeing how daring you are with tights and prints and accessories… and your shoes are just to die for. You are a fashion inspiration, miss!
-Jenn

This is such an incredible giveaway! I love the Daily Outfits posts. Seeing an outfit on a hanger or a 5’11 rail-thin model doesn’t give a whole lot of direction when trying to decide if that same dress will work on my 5’2 curvy frame. Plus, I love the way you style everything – great inspiration!

I love any how-to posts, especially hair-do ones. Not many blogs I follow have hairstyling posts, so that’s fun to see.
10 Things I Love Sundays is my favorite, it’s always a nice little treat on my Monday morning before hitting the grind again 🙂
Wow, congrats!
I love 10 Things I Love, and I think it’s really sweet when you show us what you’ve done in your own home!
My favorite feature is the fashion and makeovers. They are so good!

You have done so well for yourself! It’s insipiring to see someone doing what they love, all the time! My favourite features is the 10 things I love. I love being inspired, and that feature does it for me!
I love the makeover stories and seeing the creative displays that you set up in the shop.

I love your creativity and your positive attitude. It’s such a breath of fresh (happy) air to visit your blog every day.

I love the, “look what we made’s!” my goodness, j’adore!
Oh wow this is amazing! I think my very favorite posts are Red Velvet stories, behind the scenes in the studio, and daily life. I love to see how creative people work and how they find inspiration. Thank you!
I’m addicted to your “10 Things I Love” bit. Like most designers, I’m always scouring the interwebs for creative inspiration and so when you lump your weekly loves into a pile of ten, it sends me off into so many awesome directions— I’m grateful for your good taste in all things cute 🙂
Oh my! I’ve been dreaming of a KitchenAid mixer since I was a pre-teen! The thing is, I can’t justify buying one and was just waiting to put it on my wedding registry… except I’m currently boyfriend-less with no wedding in sight! So, if I won the mixer— I could mix my own cake and eat it too! 🙂
Congrats on your wedding! I love all your store/display features. These are great inspiration and I love your style! Also, I’m a sucker for anything DIY, so thanks for sharing your secrets!
I love the daily outfits so much!
while i love your craft project, my favorite part is reading about your family/fiance and knowing that you’re a real person!
I absolutely love the Makeover Feature. I’m always seeing new ideas I can incorporate into my own blah style!
Exciting!!! I’m a bit torn, I love seeing your outfits and then the makeover stories because I love seeing how to relate things down to the every day.

My favorite thing on A Beautiful Mess is the makeovers that you do to your lovely friends as well as your shop highlights (store front displays etc).
I’ve always dreamt of that little mixer but never got one, maybe this is my chance!! Thanks!
Definitely the 10 things I love sundays. I simply adore your picks each week and look forward to reading them and checking out what you’re into 🙂
OMG you aren’t serious?! Are you serious?! I just had a tiny heart attack because I love Kitchenaid mixers and want one more than MOST THINGS IN THE WORLD. My favorite blog feature on ABM are the makeover stories from your shop! I live about 9 hours away or I would call and come in for one. If I made an appointment, would you do one with me? I have a strong love of color and clothing but have never understood how to shop for good vintage.
Just one?!? I’m so inspired by so many features of your blog. If I have to pick, I do really love DIYs and pictures of your store. You’re an inspiration to us fellow crafters looking to do what we love…
My new favorite is the makeover stories. Really loved Meg – her story and pictures just really struck me.
Well I love everything about your blog. It has seriously brought me so much inspiration over the years. I love your daily outfit and the 10 things I love post.
I can go to a totally random “10 things I love” post and my attitude can be turned around. Just by you showing us to be grateful. So thank you.

There are many things that keep me coming back 3-4 times a day…not kidding…I’d hate to miss out on any creative, inspiring goodness. But I would have to say that my favorite post is 10 things I love. 10 things I love lets your own style and personality shine even more plus I adore the idea of finding new items to love and sites to swoon over…even just an inspiring word or two. It’s my favorite..hands down. Thanks so much for all of your hard work and time!

The best thing is obviously the ’10 Things I love’ posts!
OMG! This is seriously the best giveaway ever. I’ve always wanted a kitchenaid mixer. It would make my love for baking much easier. Oh why do you make me choose a favorite on the blog. They are all so very lovely. But If I had to choose just one I’d go with 10 things I love. 😉
I love love love the outfit posts.. I am a dog lover and love when pics of suki come up. But besides pets, I’d have to say your choice of clothes – they inspire me to be more fun. 🙂
What a generous give away. My favorite feature is a tie between your outfits (adorable) and the make over stories! Both are inspirational and fun, and I always love your photography.
xoxo
Anna

I love the behind the scenes peeks into running a shop! This blog is such a great inspiration for doing what you love, and that being young doesn’t need to stop you. Thanks for that! 🙂
I love ten favourite things but mostly I just love your drawings. I draw on my blog and my people look different from yours but I always find your drawing style so cool and edgy. I read every post and usually click to the actual blog from my google reader in order to see all the sidebars, etc. Congrats on growing so big! Wheee!
I literally shrieked when I saw this! I’ve been eying that yellow KitchenAid ever since I saw it first. My favorite posts are the Project Re-Style ones. They are a great inspiration to me!
I LOVE getting to see pictures from your store and watching your new clothing designs evolve into collections. I always feel so inspired!
Congrats! My favorite feature is your DIYs! They’re always so inspiring. <3
My favorite feature is probably the makeover features, I’m one of those t-shirt and jeans momma of 2 and I always dream of having a new style. It’s really inspiring to see what styles you come up with.
I also LOVE the “10 things I love Sunday” It’s very inspiring and fun to look at beautiful and creative things that other people like!
OOHHH and I really like you Project restyle post!!!! Reusing something and making it into something new, is super awesome. I love seeing the creativity some people have. I’m always like “Man, how did they even think of that”
Congrats! You inspire tons of people! Such a huge thing!! YAY Red Velet and Miss (soon to be Mrs) Elsie “)
Oh my goodness those KitchenAids are amazing! Tough to choose… but my favorite posts are the makeover stories. I love seeing people go from average to adorable 🙂
My favorite part about this blog is the family aspect. You and your beautiful siblings, mother, and that niece of yours!!!!
I love how you bring it all together to a wonderful world that is Elsie.
-Tif!
Oh man do i really have to chose only one!? Really enjoy the restyles. And your outfit posts. I always leave your blog feeling inspired and refreshed .. thank you!!
My favorite thing you post is DIYs! You are so creative and I LOVE seeing how you can make such dainty and elegant things, from inexpensive material! Equally, I love when you post pictures of decor! 🙂
How energizing and fantastic it must feel to inspire so many people!! The first thing I do in the morning is check out your blog… it is def more inspiring than reading the newspaper! 😉
My current favorite is your wedding prep! Also includes DIY – I am sooo looking forward to your wedding DIY posts! & I am dying to know what you will do with all those feathers!
p.s. I made the Easter chocolate last week… it was a hit!!
Thanks Elsie & Emma for being such an inspiration!!
i think i can’t really say, i’m always looking forward to the ‘ten things i love’ posts, but your outfits are pretty inspiring as well!
love the makeover section. those are my fav. its amazing what cute clothes, a great hair style and a fresh smile can do to change a persons look.
I love the befores and afters! And I love ANYTHING that has to do with the shop!
I always get really excited about your ’10 Things I Love’. Mostly I love them equally.. 🙂

i enjoy very much the posts about your store. they make it so very real to me that i can accomplish having my own eclectic, fun, outlandish, amazing studio one day.
I am new to your blog…I found it from “Todays Letters” after reading what your fiance wrote….I love the inspriation I get from your blog…your creativeness in your business, your outfits, your wedding planning…its all very inspiring! Keep it up!

– Jess
Congratulations! That must feel so great! I love reading about your arty projects, you always inspire me to get going with my own projects! Love xxx
I love when you write about your shop and all the things that you do in it. I really love when you show some photos.
You have a really sweet blog. Congrats and regards from Spain!
Hi Elsie!
My favourite part of your blog is when you do the makeovers with the women who just walked in your store, and you make them look pretty again! 🙂
And now if you could just choose me as the winner, I can make my boyfriend very happy since he is AT THIS MOMENT cooking me a yummie smelling risotto while complaining that we don’t have a kitchen aid thingy (this is really true!) but only a crappy mixer! Talk about coincidence….
Love your blog!
X, Eva from the Netherlands
’10 things I love’ caught my eye at first, back in I-can’t-really-remember-when. Also, more recently, the makeover stories have been really fun, as well as following the preparations for the big, big day you and Jeremy are headed towards 🙂
I like “10 things I love’and the DIY’s. In fact, I enjoy everything!
Tina
I look forward to your 10 Things I Love and always your DIY’s! You’ve got the best style. Eeek! I love those mixers, but there is no way I could afford one. Fingers crossed!
I love that your different. You your blog it isn’t the normal cookie cutter blog. I love that it inspires me to think outside the box on fashion and decor.
Thanks for just being you!
Woo girl! Happy 1 Million!!! 😀
I have always loved the 10 Things I Love post. It usually leads to some good web surfing.
YAYAY!!!! I like the daily outfit!!!
I’m really loving your new Makeover Story features…so inspiring for me!
Hiya,
I have recently found your blog and I love that it is a source of inspiration!!
Kind regards,
Sarah :0)
i love the makeover stories!!! and everything about you and red velvet 🙂
I think My favorite feature on A Beautiful Mess would have to be the peeks inside your shop and window displays! You’ve decorated your store so beautifully! It is my dream to own a store one day soon… and I find your displays and decor to be really inspiring!
Thanks so much!
Jade Erin
Congratulations Elsie!
One of my favorite posts is the vintage makeovers that you do. Very inspiring! Also love the project restyle posts 🙂
Casandra H.
I’m torn between your inspirational behind-the-scene peaks into your business and creative process AND your ’10 things I love’ posts.
I was married on 10-10-10 and many of my decorations were inspired by these posts. Best wedding ever. (Next to yours, I imagine;)
Good luck and congratulations!
I like Things I Love. I check out your shoe links often. Awesome giveaway!
My favorite thing about a beautiful mess is how you are such a wonderful inspiration to women who want to make a carreer out of their passion. I am encouraged to see such a creative lady accomplish so much, yet still keep true to herself and her friends and family. Keep doing what you do!! I love my daily read at a beautiful mess =)
I love your new makeover feature! It’s a lot of fun.
LOVE,Luv,<3 your tattoooooosss! I love the fact you all have tattoos that represent what you are many people are just so afraid of that cant wait to see what is next..that was by far my favorite feature.
Wow! Congratulations on the feat! 🙂 I like the recaps, sums up and links up any interesting posts I might have missed during a busy week 🙂 Plus I like the “behind-the-scenes”-posts 🙂
Wow! What a spectacular giveaway!
My always enjoy the good ol’ Ten Things I Love Sunday. And I really like the posts about Emma’s cupcakes too 🙂
My favorite is 10 Things I Love Sunday!! Second would have to be the fabulous pictures!
Oh my– Congratulations of 1 million views! My favorite feature is most definitely ‘Daily Outfits’ because I always get such outfit-inspiration from what you wear. <3
Congratulations Elsie! Such a great and generous giveaway,girl!
My favourite:your “10 thing I love post”!!
.:.Daily outfits!.:. always inspiring dahling<3
Find the “10 Things” and studio/shop peeks to be great inspiration and fun!

Jessica E.
I love the makeovers!!! 🙂 🙂
Oh my! I’ve always wanted one in the pistachio color!!! I love love love love the 10 Things I Love Sunday posts…so dreamy and inspirational!
OMG! Tons of people love you & your groupies!!!(not meant in a bad way) :0) I absolutely love your makeover stories, because I love to see how a plain jane woman can incorporate some beautifully styled outfits and make it work for everyday outings! Love to read & view you and Emma!~
I’ve one of the million! xoxoxox!
I am torn between shop peeks and home peeks as my favorites and they are both rarely featured, so I want to see more of them. It would be awesome to see your home from the exterior and the different rooms instead of only a few corners or things found in your home.
Lovely giveaways! I love your makeovers + your personal style outfits – I always leave wishing I had a bit more creativity of my own!
I’ve been reading your blog for over a now and I always loved the “10 things I love”-Feature. I remember that a post of this feature was the first blog entry I read from you.
So I think this is really my favourite one.
Have a wonderful may!
would die to get this Kitchen Aid !!!!
I really love your “10 things i love on sundays”…. simple things !
Congrats, that’s such an amazing achievement! My favourite feature so far were the ones leading up to your dress line launch where you showed three ways to wear it. I though they were genius and got me so excited for the dresses 🙂

10 Things I Love Posts. Hands down.
i love the daily postings about whatever you may be working on that week.
Congratulations!!! As a fellow soon-to-be-bride, I’d love to join in on some KitchenAid fun! I love the recent makeover series – it’s really made me pay attention to what I throw on in the mornings!
I know it’s not a feature, but I just love your style in general. I only recently decided I’d like to have more of an identifiable style myself (rather than the style of “throw on what’s easy”), so hey, if you ever decide you want to do a Makeover Story in Colorado (hah!), I’m game.
Your 10 things each week have always been my favorite! I love all of the inspiring photos you post! xo CBB
I really love your DIY projects. They are great!!
Oh wow. I love so many of your features but I always look forward to your e-courses!
So many great features about this blog. I love your “10 Favorites” posts!
Amanda

10 Things I Love Sundays–by far my most-favorite-est thing! 🙂
So hard to pick…I have my eye on so many…but I’m loving the daily outfits! These posts are just the perk I need to try something new. I’m crossing my fingers that I win this giveaway xx!
congratulations elsie! i love the “10 things i love” feature, you have fabulous taste 🙂
I’ve really been into the makeover stories lately but I think my favorite feature is still your DIY’s. I can’t get enough of them.
I love love love how you mix all your cretivity in one place. Your fashion, craftiness, food sometimes and RV stuff. You’ve totally figured it out and it works well.
If I had to pick a favorite then it would be your “what I love” sunday posts. I get lots of ideas from them. Thanks for the AMAZING giveaway!

I love getting new inspiration for my weekend cooking sessions (which my boyfriend is getting used to, and one day might enjoy :)) I really like your DIY ideas, and have wanted to start adding those to my weekends as well.
But, by far I am OBSESSED with your wedding posts, I am so excited to see the outcome, it will be an amazing time, as you are so lucky to be surrounded by love from all of your family and friends!
Congrats on hitting the 1 million mark!

-Cheryl Birkey
I love everything! Hard to choose one thing. I also love Emma’s blog.
It’s so hard to pick my favorite features of your blog! I love the tattoo posts and I REALLY love your Sunday Favorite Things posts! Your blog is very inspiring! Thank you!
the how tos… from make up to hair styles. it inspires this low maintence hippie girl to try something new.
I love everything on your blog but I really like the style makeovers that began this year. It’s quite an inspiring thing!
After reading you blog and secretly being in love with vintage (having a huge collection that I don’t wear) I’ve begun my own vintage shop through Etsy. It’s small but I love it.
Thanks <3
my favorite part of the blog is the blog posts about the process of owning your own shop, those were so fun to read and learn from.
Brandi Lee!
For me, my most favorite feature of ABM is more of a personal one.
My favorite thing is what the blog does for and to me.
After years of being stuck in a creative depression… only able to do enough work needed to line someone else’s pockets and never for myself. I found “Beautiful” and started to be inspired. I felt life coming back. No really! I may be a block of cheese but I did.
While I haven’t gotten as much work produced as I’d like. In the year I’ve been reading I can say ABM has given me the energy and excitement to create for myself again. and it’s slowly giving me the courage to move in a more business minded direction.
That’s my favorite thing about this blog and miss Elsie.
~Tammy Street
This is great, congratulations!
I love the stories about you and Jeremy, your daily outfit posts, your DIY projects and stories about the store. 🙂
Clothing line for sure! I loved all the dresses and get really motivated myself when I see someone else succeeding and living out their dreams.
I have a beautiful minty mint green mixer so I don’t want to win, but congratulations!
I love all your posts, they are so inspiring and lovely to know there are so many young crafters who get the butterflies like me with little pretty things! Not only do I love all your pictures but what each blog consist of in writing! The Red velvet team is awesome <3(:
I’m a new reader, found it by searching DIY projects not too long ago. So I guess DIY would be my favorite feature!
Congratulations Elsie, I’m happy I could be part of this in some way!
I always wear my clothes the same way, so I love the ‘3 Ways To Wear It’ posts, it helps me to be more creative!
I love the makeover stories!! =D
But the thing I love the most is the lovely pictures you post everyday! =D
I really enjoy the “10 things I love” because everything you love is TOTES ADORBS! The makeover stories might be a very close tie though…

While mine is not really like yours, I learn so much from the way you put things together and I have really found my own style partly by reading your blog…it’s like you somehow gave me the freedom to be me when it came to what I wear! I would SO love to win this for my Mom! She bought me my red one years and years ago and I she still doesn’t have one of her own. This would be SUCH a great gift for her!!!
It’s a definite toss up between “10 Things I Love Sunday” and “Daily Outfits”- so much inspiration in both! <3

Including mine somewhere in the future. Your blog has a lot of simple and quick ideas how to make something beautiful and inspiring from something.. custom?

Wow, that’s an awesome giveaway…! I have a hard time choosing my favourite feature, but I think I have to say the new makeover stories, because I love the look of vintage clothes but don’t wear them myself. I could use some help too… 😉
I always look forward to the 10 Things I Love Sundays! They’re my favorite posts! 🙂
I’ve been following for a very long time and right now I’m loving the wedding prep posts. Of course, the make-overs and outfits of the day are great too. I am so glad that you and your Jeremy found each other – you look so happy together.

My favorite feature is and has been your ’10 things i love’. It closely matches my style and it’s a time saver!
When i just browse for pretty things i often lose an hour or two. Hours i can’t afford to lose, so i usually don’t browse. Your ’10 things i love’ posts are sort of a shortcut. I see a lot of pretty and inspiring things, without spending too much time. Thank you so much!
I love your DIY posts (also love your “makeover stories” and “10 things I love”)but if I have to choose one, that´s my choice 😉

WOW!!! my favorite feature on your blog is the 10 things I love…i look forward to it every sunday…thank you for being so fabulous and such an inspiration!
Well funny you should ask my fav feature. I found your 3D dress online somewhere, not knowing it was a part of “A Beautiful Mess” and saved it to my computer. When I stumbled upon your blog, I fell in love with the uber creative Wedding Plans. And my boyfriend recognized you! So I guess I have two favorites, Daily Outfits and Wedding Plans! 🙂
I’ve always wanted a Kitchen Aide! And these colors are incredible!
What a sweet heart you are to do such a cool give away.
And this blog is incredible. Over the past several months I’ve really enjoyed watching you make your dreams come true. I can’t wait to see the Wedding photos!
My favorite feature has got to be 10 Things I Love Sunday! Gives me an opportunity to browse crazy amazing things with a mug of tea on Sunday afternoons 🙂
I like looking at pictures that you post of you and your friends. You are adorable 🙂
Hey ya’all,

Hannah

Can I tell you more than one thing I love about your blog? I love reading about your wedding plans, I love seeing your store updates, I love the Makeovers, and i love pretty much everything else on your blog! I visit every day, sometimes more than once. I only wish I lived closer to your location so I could actually shop at Red Velvet and meet you and Emma in person!
Everything on your blog is awesome, but I like the makeovers the most!
My new favorite is the makeover feature! Love that it’s real women and love seeing the transformations!
I enjoy the photos the most. While your style might not be my particular style, as I am little older than you are, you are very inspiring to me, adorable and I look forward to reading ALL of your blog posts.

i really find your blog as a whole super inspiring. heck, your whole LIFE is super inspiring! honestly, i think it’s hard to choose a favourite, but i do really like the 10 things i love posts because it’s such a simple and positive little feature. it’s nice to be reminded of the good things in the world, and be introduced to some new things too.
My absolute favourite feature are the makeover stories—I love seeing what you do with other people’s personalities and body types and complexions—it also highlights your skills as a wonderful stylist because you are not only so good at making things work for them, but you are fearless with them, drawing their personalities into their clothes at the same time as taking them from their comfort zone. So inspiring!
I have absolutely always dreamt of one. It is always number one on my wish list… but I’d give it to my mum for mother’s day.
My favourite thing about your blog is your touch. Everything you do is with effort and thought and I hope you always remember it is noticed.
i love your outfit posts! you are too cute. and ’10 things i love sunday’ is always so fun. 🙂
10 Things I love!
The vintage restyles are now my first favorite (before 10 things I love Sundays)!
My favourite feature is the shop display stuff! I love seeing how you put everything together. Thanks so much for the generous giveaway!
I absolutely adore “10 things I love”, and lately the makeover posts make my day, 🙂
I really love the daily outfits!

I adore the ’10 Things I Love’ posts, but my favorite is definitely all of your outfit posts. After seeing all of your awesome outfits, I finally ‘came out of my shell’ in the sense of fashion.

I would have to say the makeover stories. I love that you feature real women with real bodies.
omgosh. i have been lusting over these mixers forever! i love everything about your blog- it’s so inspiring. a beautiful mess is on my bookmark bar for sure.
<3
Project ReStyle is my much loved feature for 2011. It’s so fabulous and eco-friendly to see the crazy talented things people create for their own lives.
I love oufits posts! They do inspire me a lot to combine my own pieces and always look stylish! 🙂 Thanks, Eslie.. as always 😉
Congrats in your million!! My favorite ABM features are the Makeover stories! So fun to see the before and afters and what awesome vintage duds can do for a gal’s confidence! 🙂
i like getting to see the displays in your shop (i hope to be able to actually visit someday!) & the make overs you have been up to lately. 🙂
Hi Elsie, my name is Camila, I absolutelly love your blog, I am from Chile (a long and tiny south american country).
My favorite feature is INSPIRATION, because one of my dreams is to open a cupcake shop and It was really magical when I read that you made your dreams come true, so YOU ARE ACTUALLY MY INSPIRATION, when you wrote “I am so thankful for my family and how they’ve believed in my dreams all of these years!” It made me feel happy, because I know one day my dreams will come true as well!!!!
Just working step by step like you !!!
Thank you for being my inspiration Elsie
I love the colourful photos you make 🙂
love all your beautifulness on the blog!!!
Is is too cliché to say everything?!
Just adore reading your blog, especially looking at all of the lovely tattoos!
Love from London England

Oh how I’ve always longed for one!
I love that you blog frequently (key) with substance (beauty, charm, real).
OMG!! Lol I love your 10 Things. I am nodding my head in agreement or oohing and ahhing over a new discovery courtesy of you. Thanks!
OMG,this is the best giveaway i have ever seen,Oh my,it’s so generous and so…i want to scream.Mostly because i have been dreaming of a kitchen aid for like 5 years,and there are none selling in Portugal and being a college student leaving on my parent’s house and on a budget ordering one is so not in my possible things to do!!A kitchen aid,god…i would do almost anything for it..lol.Knowing i want to be a soccer home/fashion photographer/designer/everything you can imagine.Lol.
So,my favorite feature has to the the Daily Outfits because i’m a maniac for fashion,it’s not even healthy!!!
Thank you,Elsie!!!
DIY are always the best!!!

HI Elsie…
I’ve been reading your blog since you were a .typepad… needless to say I have been reading your blog for quite some time. I think currently my favorite feature is project re-style… but I love hearing about thrifting finds and wedding plans… and DIYS! I look forward to many more posts and different features in the future!
My favorite is makeover stories. Mom of two always need inspiration
I love it when you share your vintage finds and I love your photography of all your posts.
Totally the 10 Things I Love. I love to paint and whenever I’m stuck creatively, I become driven when I become aware of other artists, people or fun items. Thanks for sharing!
I love to view the “fresh” look of your vintage clothes line – both created and gently used! Thank you for bringing back the “fun” in clothes.
Hi Elsie! How cool of you to give one of these away! I like so many of your features, but really enjoy your DIY features as well as all the personal tips and tricks- on style, business, design!! THE WHOLE LOT!!!! 😀

– Nicole
Ummm, how about everything?! But seriously, I looourve the DIY section. Winning!
10 things I love. definately one of the 10 things i love about your site :oP
My favorite thing about A Beautiful Mess is how transparent you are- about your shop, about your life. My husband went to College in Springfield and we live far away now, but feel somewhat connected to to the city and what’s going on there- in big part because of your blog. I’ve been a long time follower of the blog and a Jeremy Larson fan for years. Congrats on the 1 millionth view in a month! It’s been so wonderful and inspiring to watch you and Red Velvet grow!
Wow! Congratulations on such a feat! I just found your site and think it’s uber cute! So far my favorite feature is the Home Decor section, but that might be because I just moved and am really into that right now. Looking forward to exploring your site a little more!
Seriously…SO exciting!
My favorite feature on your blog is the Project Re-Style’s. They bring me a lot of inspiration! 🙂

Congrats on the million. That’s fabulous 🙂

-CAT
Holeeee moleeee, 1 million?? Wow. Congratulations. Hmmm, favorite feature? I enjoy 10 Things I lLove, but mostly I like the personal stories, especially when you share the shop updates. I love getting a peek inside your store and seeing what you have going decor-wise and all your seasonal displays!
Oh my goodness this is incredible!
This is so hard to choose but I love your outfit posts and the “10 Things I Love” posts. I think my absolute favorite feature would be whenever you post about your shop and pictures of it just make me happy haha.
:)Congrats on one million!
Home Decor is my new fav section as I am in the midst of trying to buy a house and getting ideas and inspiration from your Blog !
i love your blog, you are so beautiful!
i would love that kitchen aid mixer. i’ve been begging my husband for one for years!
my favorite feature is your DIYs. Love to make things.
-Ellie
I love 10 things i love <3
and i love the love you send back to your readers - how very nice to feel appreciated!
I have wanted one of these for SO long! I love the makeovers you do with the girls. Amazing! And you use women of all sizes!
Wow!:)
My favorite is the DIYs. This whole blog is very inspirational!
10 things i love.
I love the shop updates. I can’t wait to visit Red Velvet one day 🙂
-Angie
10 things you love on Sunday, love to curl up with a cup of tea and see the pretty 🙂
e-mail: cocomarie77@live.com
Wow, this is an incredibly generous and unique giveaway! I love any outfit posts and Red Velvet related posts! As a recent college grad (we’re talking a couple days here..) it’s been hard to keep on track of my “dreams”, and seeing that you’ve done just that makes it a whole lot easier to remind me what it is that I want out of life, and why I can’t settle for any less. Thanks so much for the giveaway, it’s incredibly sweet of you!
My favorite feature is your makeover stories. I would be lying if I said I don’t dream about coming to visit and have you transform me! I am about to start teaching and I need “grown-up clothes.” Fifties and sixties clothes are my favorite, and they are really suitable to teach in because I would not have to worry about the length of the dresses. However, I have always loved vintage but have been frustrated with the options that are available to me in my city. I live in Georgia, but my best friend lives in Tulsa…close enough to drive to see yall, right? It certainly would be a great birthday present! 🙂 I look forward to your tips every month!
xo Kamila S.
It’s sooooo hard to chooooose!!!
It comes down to the D.I.Y. posts vs. Home Decor posts…
I’m gonna go with Home Decor, since there are a lot of inspiring D.I.Y. infused posts under that category 🙂 Best of both worlds!
oh my how i long to have one! what a wish come true!!!
i love how you have built this empire! work it!
Congratulations! Your 10 Things I Love posts are my ultimate favorite!
Holy Smokes a million! congratulations 🙂
i adore any post about your shop- so inspiring … you always find the best shoes!
I get totally inspired by your outfits, but the 10 Things I Love Feature sends me out hunting and BUYING the cutest stuff!
Thanks so much:)
I just simply love your blog and it is something I look forward to (no pressure 😛 )
I check your site every day and have followed you since your early scrapbooking days ~ but my favorite part of your site if I really had to pick just one would be when you open up your studio and talk about how you created this dream into a real business.
those mixers are so beautiful! i love the daily outfit posts. i find inspiration from your style to try and incorporate in my own wardrobe. any posts with pictures from your shop also give me ideas for my own home and workspace.
Oh my gosh this is amazing. I’ve wanted one of these for so long now! I love your outfit posts. You always have the cutest outfits!
How exciting! I love the Make Over stories. They make me more confident to wear my collection of vintage dresses.
i love all your outfits . wish i lived closer so i could visit the real red velvet!!!!
What a lovely giveaway! Hope I win! My favorite is your “10 Things I Love” post!!
Congrats! I love the top 10 Sundays, it always makes me smile and is a perfect way to start the week.

amelia:)

I love your outfit posts- they inspire me to wear things together that I normally wouldn’t! 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the DIY section on your blog. The ideas are so cute and inspiring. Thanks for the giveaway!!

I LOVE the makeover features!! Totally inspiring 🙂
I NEVER KNEW IT CAME IN SUCH BEAUTIFUL COLOURS! Probably because I knew I’d never have one so I never looked into it! But wow they’re beautiful.
I love your top ten posts!

Love a blog that focuses on beauty and the fun of life.

Brooke
I just love that your blog makes me happy. I ‘used’ it during my unhappiest period for a lift..survival. Thank you! 🙂
The best part of ABM is your thoughts and idea comming into fruition. Its so much fun to see this grow. And that is my fave part.
My favorite is your 10 Things I Love Column.
Always inspiring, fresh, and just plain cool.
Ally
I am loving your home decor section right now. Such great ideas.
It’s a tie between makeover stories and proyect re-style! love your blog
I really love the diy’s and of course your daily outfits post!
I love the 10 things I love Sundays, they always are beautiful and give me lots of inspiration! Your blog is awesome! 🙂
My favorite feature is one I’m hoping you’ll develop more in the coming months – interior decor! Love the blog, love the giveaway- thanks for the chance to win! 🙂
i love all the beautiful posts but i especially love it when you share the pain too. we see all the cute, pretty, beautiful things, we never think there are hardships, so it’s refreshing when you do!
There are so many blogs that try to replicate you but you they’re lacking the geniune charm you have in your posts. There’s heart to them.
I have always longed for this Kitchen aid mixer. Honestly, I have fondled over one and my friends’ a little too much.
I love your blog but I come back for who YOU are. As corny as that is, you’re what makes the blog.
I am seriously drooling over the things I want to make with this mixer. Mmmmmm….
I love your outfit posts because I want every last one of them!
been a reader since your KI Memories days. My favourite feature is how neat and organized everything is! Personal links to the left, sponsors to the right, more “important” links below the top banner… Easy navigation makes for easy blog browsing! Love!!!!
Xoxo.
Teresa.
I love the vintage makeovers! I think a lot of people are a little intimidated by vintage clothing and are afraid to look costumey or dated. You have shown how to take the pieces and give them a modern twist. Makes me want to thrift a lot more!
Ooo look at all the pretty colors!
I’m a fairly new reader and have only seen a few of them, but I really like the makeover stories, and I lOve love love the vintage afters. I love vintage but sometimes I feel so dated. When you do your makeovers, though, everybody just looks so great, I don’t focus on the era at all! Love em!
I love the ’10 Things I Love’ posts. Mostly I like everything about this place.
I love your “10 things I Love” entries. You always have such great finds on there!
10 things I love! my top favorite! love seeing all the adorable stuff you find!
Holy cow! Congrats!!! A million views is an amazing accomplishment. My favorite feature is your shop updates. I love seeing your store grow with all the fun additions and changes.
You do the 10 things on Sunday and it is my favorite!! <3

My favorite thing about A Beautiful Mess is the DYI’s!!! They are just absolutely fun and fab! I also really love the fight club chocolate bars you guys made! Best movie EVER. Brad Pitt..SWOON!!
Woohooo!! Congrats!! My fav feature would have to be the DIY’s, they are so fun and funky!! xo
I love the ten things you love! It’s always a beautiful inspiration.
I’ve been enjoying checking your blog daily and just love your style. I tell my husband often that if we moved I would want to mix it all up and be more vintage… just not always sure how to make it work as a momma (and not always brave enough to have change). So for now if i have to choose I’ll say makeovers because it gives me little drops of courage. But love it all. Happy wedding to you 🙂 Ain’t love grand?
Wow this is so generous! i have a kitchenaid but my mom doesn’t 🙂 i would have to say my fave feature is always the DIY stuff. love it!
oh man!! thia giveaway takes the cake! no pun intended! makeover stories are totally my favorite! lots of inspiration for me!
My favourite is the DIY posts! I also really enjoy the 10 things I love series. Congratulations on 1 million views – WOW!
Hi there Elsie! This is Candice here.
I remember when I was little and loving to go through my friends purses. We used to swap and trade certain things. It was like a mini treasure hunt! So my fave feature on A Beautiful Mess is when you show us what’s in your purse. =)
To tell you the truth, my favorite feature is your wedding posts. Your blog I just eat up. I live through all your adorable wedding details. I can’t wait to have my own. Thank you for posting all that you do. 😀
I love the DIYs!
I LOVE hearing about your business. It’s great hearing all the little details. You’re so passionate about what you do. It’s inspiring 🙂
Congrats!!!
My favorite posts are your 10 things I love Sundays and the little sneak peeks into your shop. I live in Iowa so it is awesome to see little tid bits here and there of your shop. I also just love seeing all the inspiration you have on your blog!
My favorite feature are the blogs about you and your adorable husband 😉
Yay Elise! My favorite things on your blog are YOUR 10 favorite things, your daily outfits, and your style makeovers. I wish I lived near you so i could shop in your store and so that you could make me over!!
XOXO Missy

my favorite thing about your blog is your sneak peek at your store and clothing line…you are basically living my dream right now and it gives me something to inspire to do myself
i love the makeover stories — my new go-to do, the heidi braids, came from one of them!
OHH I have always wanted one of those kitchenaid mixers, I love their colors!
It’s hard to pick one favorite feature because I read your blog for its entirety. But I guess I’d have to say the DIYs and the “10 things I love” posts.
Congratulations!!!
Valerie
I will always love your 10 Things I Love post:) They’re usually the highlight of my sunday!!
I love your DIY stuff, and the makeovers of regular ladies…it still gives me hope of shaking up my style. I could go on and on!
I love your 10 Things I Love on Sundays; it’s such fun to follow you down the rabbit hole!
My favorite posts are the informative ones, like the camera app one! I also love the D.I.Y.s, because you always come up with the cutest projects. And I know this isn’t a regular feature, but I adore your videos….they’re the cutest.
Thanks for this giveaway…such an awesome prize…CONGRATS ELSIE!
In general my favorite feature is “10 things I love”, but I also really love any posts you do about your wedding prep. You guys seem like such a great couple and I love the personal touches you’re putting into your day!
I love the makeovers! I wish you could make me over :).
Hello Elsie and Emma,
This is Gabrielle from the “Gift of Gab.” I am so addicted to your blog that it has moved up to the top of my bookmark list of daily reads. I would have to say that my favorite feature of your blog would have to be the quality of work you put into each and every aspect of your makeovers, blog posts, and store displays. I absolutely love your store displays. They are so relatable and done by the two of you. Most stores hire others to work magic on their store displays, but you two ladies take pride in your talents and work wonders yourselves. Also the makeovers you two perform are extraordinary. I love the fact that you are not doing it because a company approached you to do so, but because you really want to make a difference in the lives of others.
This is not exactly a feature of your blog, but I just had to mention it anyway. A while back I emailed the two of you concerning what steps I could take in order to get started in the business of selling vintage items. I received such a heart-felt reply from Emma that really struck a cord with me. She really gave me the motivation I needed to pursue my dreams. I really appreciate it when bloggers take the time to treat each and every follower as if they knew them on an individual level. Thanks for treating me like an individual and not just a follower in a million.
Thanks,
Gabrielle
I would seriously keel over and die if I had a mixer! Congrats on 1 million! My favorite is probably DIY posts
My favorite is the “10 Things I Love.” and giveaways of course 🙂 -Jenna C
So kind to offer up such a wonderful prize!! My favorite thing to read about on your blog is seeing your dreams become reality. Through the opening of your new store and the launch of your own clothing line, I just love seeing a dream being realized 🙂
What brings me back to abeautifulmess on an almost compulsively regular basis is Ten Things I Love Sundays (works swell with my Sunday night blog-reading, pre-week de-stress ritual) and sweet wedding updates.
I am a photography student at college so obviously LOVE all of the photography posts like the camera list post!! I also am obsessed with the recent wedding invitation post- so creative and amazing! Thank you so much for the chance to win a kitchen aid mixer!! I have always been dying for one!
CONGRATS!!!
I love reading about your local vintage finds.
10 things i love is my absolute favourite!! and i just love love love the pictures.. i love feeling like i’m there in America in the store!
i love the 10 things you love on sundays! i seriously look forward to it every weekend. its even inspired me to come up with my own each week!
Oh my goodness! I love the Makeover Story and also looks into the store, your home, and studio. I would have a hard time choosing between orange and aqua
The close up pictures of your shop when I can see a retro purse in them. I am a purse freak from any decade!
Oh I love cooking, and this would be great to have! I love your DIY posts and the insights to your wedding planning. Also the makeover sessions, wish I could get me one of those =)
Your DIY posts, for sure! 🙂
I adore your blog! There are sooo many fun features and ideas that I don’t know where to start. I’ve loved watching the amazing journey of opening up Red Velvet. Getting sneak peeks, awesome window displays, seeing you and Emma in the shop. What and impressive adventure!
My favorite thing is all of the pictures you post, and all of your clothing. You are an inspiration, truly. You give me hope that I can one day be as creative as you. Thanks for doing a giveaway!
dang, girl! a million is a big deal, congrats! i think my favorite thing about a beautiful mess is the variety of stuff you post, but if i had to pick a favorite category i’d say the sneak peeks into the red velvet shop.
10 thing I love, and your daily outfits are my favorite features on your blog. It’s such great source of inspiration !
I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and your success with Red Velvet has been an inspiration to me to work harder on my own business. Congratulations!

Elsie the one thing I love about your blog is EVERYTHING!! A girlfriend at work & I have ‘Elsie time’ every day so we can see what you’ve been up to, it makes for a nice break from office work 😉 We have also been on to other sites when something pretty has been featured in a post (I am addicted to all things Lune & have a hand-dyed slip on it’s way!, your passion & love for everything you do is so inspiring xo
I love being able to get peek into your lovely store. It’s like a dream world…

I adore the DIYs. You’re a style icon.
I hope this doesn’t sound stalker-ish, but I like hearing about you – your life, your family, your store, your work… I feel like I have gotten to know you over the years, so I check in a few times a week to see what you are “up to”, much as I do members of my family! 🙂
As far as specific features, I like the makeovers, daily outfits, and DIYs! 🙂
The competitions! And the fashion! YAY!

Hi!
My favourite features are your “DIY’s”!they are really amazing!! Thanks for the blog!! You really give good ideas and awesome inspiration!
I love that you post regularly, I know this isn’t a ‘feature’, but it is quite dissapointing when a blog you follow doesn’t update for weeks or sometimes months!
Great giveaway!!!
I love the makeovers and Red Velvet updates.
Sofie
Wow!Congrats! 🙂
I love your outfits, 10 things I love and your DIY’s.. oh and your makeovers… I actually love your whole blog!
i love to try out your diy posts
Hi,
i love everything on here, but my favorite has to be the tattoos. There hasn;t been a lost of post recently, which is a shame 😉 I love to get inspiration from the tattoos. I have 1 (4 cat paws on my back) but i’m thinking and planning getting another one very soon, only haven’t found the right one yet.
Love from Holland
What a wonderful giveaway, I have been wanting one of those forever because it seems so sturdy and it’s pretty and colorful! I have this old ugly one and it’s getting pretty worn out – I have celiac disease so I use my mixer very often to make my special bread etc.
I love so many features on your blog but I’m always particularly inspired by your “10 things I love”. I also adore the DIY’s and the “Project Restyle” bits!
Yay, best giveaway ever. Definitely Project ReStyle, love it!
I LOVE your blog!! I love your “10 things i love” lists! And your wedding stuff!

I love your ’10 things I love’ posts.
Eek! cooking – i’m in love….
My fav features would have to be the how to hair styles.. oh no wait.. the makeovers – heck! I enjoy them all!!!
OMG! I am dying here! I have been leaving ever so subtle hints (catalogues with KitchenAid Mixers circled) around the house (on the fridge, on the bathroom mirror, in his guitar case – EVERYWHERE!) for my Hubby to ‘suprise’ me with one for my bday this year – eek dirty 30!
Elsie, I love your blog – it is one of my daily reads, you are such an awesome woman. My ‘favourite’ is hard to decide, but if I had to choose, I’d say the updates on your RV shop, and the Hair and Makeup tips!
Luvluv,
Sway <3

I really can’t decide which feature I love best! The most exciting part for me is checking in every day to see what new posts have been put up! It’s so inspiring and making more time for blogging is defo on my “to do” list.
If I really HAVE to pick, I guess I’d go with “10 things I love Sunday” (or Monday on weekends you don’t have time to blog!!)
Love, Katie xo

My favorite feature. Can I just choose one? I love that you represent a completely different style than what I’m accustomed to. When I first started reading your blog I was just a teenager, and seeing that there are others out there with the same taste, style and way of thinking as myself, have made me more confident, and helped me in staying true to my own sense of style.
Good job!
My 10 year old daughter and me love the ’10 Things I Love’ posts!

I find it so hard to choose which is my favourite cause i love everything about your blog!
But if i really have to cut down to my favouritest, it would be when you blog about your adorable shop.
Cause it makes me dream!
I really REALLY wanna(and am planning to) start a blogshop soon and later on to progress to opening my own boutique. and when i read your post it inspires me so much and encourages me to not give up on my dream.
Definitely, I love the outfits that you show in Beautiful Mess, I would love to have that style of clothes!

I also like when you say you love something ( take a lot of photos, your kitty camera) and for Jeremy is such a nightmare. hahahha .. It makes me think and feel that Jeremy definitely loves you.

Been wanting one since I was 6 watching Martha Stewart <3
There are too many wonderful ones to choose from!
Probably my favorite is Makeover Story, because I adore the new and unique styles that you all create.
But I also LOVE Project Restyle (yay for saving the earth!) and 10 Things I Love. 🙂

-Ajah C
I personally look forward to the “10 Things I Love” posts!
Those mixers are so gorgeous!
Favorite : the giveaways…lol. ;p kidding
10 things I love is great, as is the make over stories
It’s hard to pick one! Congrats to you too!
I’ve wanted one of the mixers for a long time. Their so lovely! I tell my hubby that if I had one I’d cook for the family more…hehe
These mixers are the ‘bees knees’! 🙂 Topping the very long list of favorites on your blog would have to be the daily outfits! Instant inspiration for me to go rummaging about closet!
I love ’10 things I Love’ and your outfits…and pics of your store…and about your wedding…and biz advice…and I should stop (but I could keep going)
My hand mixer just broke, so you should pick me… 🙂 I am in need!
I LOVE THE ’10 things I love’ post. They are very inspiring and always gorgeous!!
Those are so beautiful, I could whip up so many whoopie pies with one of those! I love the DIY Projects section. So many incredible ideas, and so easy! Thank you for that.
I love your Project Restyle posts and the shots of your store! And the outfits… Oh, I can’t choose!
i love hearing about your wedding plans!♥
Is this still open??
I love the Project Restyle!!
i really like when you talk about the shop.
my favorite feature is 10 Things I Love on Sundays! it always gives me something pretty to look at on a quiet sunday.
congrats on your 1 million views!!
How fun! I love all of your posts, but my favorites are the “10 things I love.” I always find out about something new:)
I love EVERYTHING about your blog, but if I had to choose one thing, I would say the “10 Things I Love” posts.
Congrats on a million!
I love love your outfit post and your post about RVA. RVA is so cute and I love all of the things you guys have done to it. I hope im not too late for the giveaway.
DIY projects are my favorite. You really are a great blogger. I stumbled across your page a few months ago and I dont follow more than enough blogs to remember them by name. I dont know if it’s a feature, but I know Im not the only person that is inspired/encouraged by the way you and your friends get things done/start businesses. So really, if your motivation and hard work was a feature, as cheesy as that may be, that would definitely be my favorite feature.
I dont blog or even comment often, so its hard to even want to comment when so many people have entered in this but we registered for a mixer when we got married and didnt get it. We didnt really get anything from the registry, haha, I just did it for fun and we had so many people traveling for our wedding, we didnt really expect to get the gifts. Im sure the majority of these people dont have mixers and would obviously like one but I could write an essay on why I would be “most fit” (haha) to have one. I bake all the time! And if I could win this, it would be another nudge to start blogging myself because I have more than enough to share.
Sorry for this lengthy comment. In the almost 4,000 comments someone else might have wrote more than me but I figured, if Im going to say something, I’d leave a piece of myself.
I Love your Outfit posts! so inspirational!
Oh my gosh, I would die of happiness if I won this blog giveaway. Having a KitchenAid Mixer is a DRRRRRRREAMMMMMMM!!!
Whoops – I was so excited, I didn’t post my favorite feature. I really love the Vintage Makeover series – such fun! 10 Things I love is great too, I’m always finding something new and pretty 🙂
Your 10 things I love! There is always a 100% chance of smiling and being cheered up by all the pretty in them!
How awesome of you!
I love the DIY’s, they’re so fun and creative.
Love,
Maren
I love love love to come and see your outfits… mainly your sunglasses as they are one of my favorite items as well. But just the pure joy I have in all the colors on your blog really jump starts my happiness.
Hmmm either the makeovers, or 10 things I love, can’t decide between those two. Thanks Elsie!
amazing.!
adore your blog xo

As a bride-to be, I always look forward to your wedding features. Since I am planning a DIY wedding, I always check for new inspiration and to see what neat little things you are doing to make you and Jeremy’s wedding your own!
10 things I love.
Because, for me it’s a way to get to know the people I follow better.
It’s almost like a squiz (a look see) into your brain or diary, whichever the case may be.
Plus so many stunning things that I probably never would find on my own.
Keep the DIY coming!
I love the posts about your store and all the “vintagey” goodness you have. I also really like the posts when you showcase the way people have given new life to old things.
I look forward to the “10 Things I Love” posts every Sunday! <3
I really enjoy your 10 Things I Love and seeing what you are wearing. I don’t know you personally, but I can tell you are alot of fun!
My favorite feature is the makeover stories – I like to see how an outfit can really change a person.
I mostly just love everything! Your blog is very inspiring in so many ways.
your sense of style…very original!
