Now that the slower summer days are here, we’re dedicating some time to reading –  more blogs of course!! As we’ve begun to make the rounds, the following four blogs have inspired us to see new things, explore untapped hobbies and get working on something beautiful. It’s always fun to be inspired to try something new and from travel to recipes, photo styling to DIY’s these blogs are currently on heavy rotation. Get ready to bookmark away…

Little Upside Down Cake may be the most dreamy and transportive blog you’ve come across in a long time. As a food photographer, stylist and owner of an amazingly curated shop, Sanda’s eye makes us wish we could live in each one of her photos. Her recent travel posts around a styling and photography workshop in Lisbon and France will blow you away. They are a must see and we have no doubt that this blog will continue to inspire you over and over again!

Story of our life: another Scandinavian interiors blog that we drool over while not understanding a single word. But the language barrier means nothing when images are this gorgeous. Musta ovi is filled with inspiration that’ll stop you mid-scroll. If you’re an interiors fiend and you feel like you’ve seen that same house tour a billion times, hop on over to Musta ovi. We guarantee there’s something amazing you have yet to come across.

The title says it all. Real Food By Dad is full of real recipes created by dad. How fun and straightforward is that? From simple chicken dishes and upgraded breakfasts to quick snack ideas, these recipes are approachable and pretty dang easy to recreate. We love dad’s perspective on cooking for a busy household and something about breaking the boundaries of “mom knows best” is exactly the refreshing ‘tude we like to see in the blogoshpere!

First, let’s say it was so difficult to pick a picture to represent this blog because really, it has everything. From amazing decor DIY’s, to baby and room updates, No Home Without You has now become one of our favorite lifestyle sites. We’re obsessed with the mix of inspiration and content and you better believe that everything is as dreamily lit (and cute as a baby’s butt!). Since one image just can’t sum all of it’s parts up, you’ll have to check it out for yourself!

Any refreshing blogs that you’ve come across lately? Please share. We want our blog summer reading list to burst at the seams!
