Design for mankind

What It Is: A lifestyle blog by Erin Loechner, filled with beautifully-written essays on everything from design (she’s a pro) to parenting to marriage to work to travel and more.

Why I Love It: I’ve never met Erin before in person, but goodness, I feel like she is such a kindred spirit. And I have completely enjoyed tuning into her blog for years (like, so many years now!) for a dose of real-life inspiration and lovely prose. Her posts on navigating motherhood (with her sweet little toddler) and marriage have always been some of my favorites. But I have always especially connected with her posts on work, and creativity, and self-care, probably because they’re always words I need to take to heart myself. I also really admire how brave and open she has been to letting her career evolve/change in some big ways over the past decade, and I can’t wait to follow along wherever the next roads may lead.

Recommendations: Every single post in her Life archives. All of the links at the bottom of this post. The Live FashionABLE scarf that she designed.
