Featured Style Blogger: These Days

Jade from These Days

How long have you been blogging?

I started These Days at the end of 2009, but didn't put that much effort into it until about 2010 I would say. As I wrote my blog I noticed that I could take it to the next level, so I decided to. I upgraded my photography on the blog and began to collaborate with clothing brands. It has changed a lot since 2009!

What were your main reasons for starting a blog?

I'm always searching for some sort of new creative outlet, and my blog was born out of that desire. I was making a lot of websites when I was younger and kind of fell into the blogosphere because of it. I really enjoy creating a project and seeing a finished project. I think that's why I love blogging so much. It's never a finished project, because I can always add to it.

What inspires you?

A lot of things! Music, photography, interior design. Mainly pretty stuff haha!

What do you like to do on your spare time?

I blog in my spare time. I also enjoy sewing, knitting, and the piano. I also really love getting a new video game with an awesome storyline and playing it for days straight. I don't let that happen too often!

How long have you lived in SD?  Tell us what you love about SD.

I've lived in San Diego my whole life! I love that we always have the best weather. We are spoiled!! I love San Diego a lot, and I know that if I ever do decide to move, that I will really miss this place. It's just perfect. I'm not much of a beach person but I do love looking at it. I also can't leave out the sunsets that we have.

What advice would you give to others who would like to begin blogging?

I would just say be true to yourself. Don't start a blog and blog about things that you think are popular. Blog about the things you like and the things that make you feel good. If you like a trend, then great! Go for it! But don't think your blog has to revolve around every single "it" blogger item. If you stay true to what you like, then your blog will stand out!
