the introduction
Yeah, I am not one for the awkward meet and greet, quick 'hi how are you nice to meet you!' - it gives me hives and chills down my spine. What do I talk about? What do I say? Should I tell them they have lipstick on their tooth? But after a year and a half of blogging I thought it was time to do this post. I know that there are some hidden Postcards From readers out there that have never said hello or introduced themselves to me! This post is for you. I want to hear from you! One of my favorite parts about blogging is the community and my readers. I love knowing what you think about Postcards From and who you are. I promise, this wont be awkward. Oh, and you should know...your fly is undone.
New or old readers, daily followers or monthly stop by's, leave me a comment and I will comment back! Cant wait to hear from you! :)

ReplyDeletewww.morganandlua.blogspot.com
I've been following for a few months now. I really enjoy your blog! I love that you smile in your pics, and don't look mad and all serious. Your smile is lovely and I love the variety of shoes you have! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty certain that this is my first comment on your blog! Exciting stuff, right? I would've gotten around to saying hello. Eventually. Maybe. I'm quite shy.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, hello! Your blog is one of my favourites, definitely top 3. I'll make an effort to comment more!
Liza - Hi! Thanks so much for your comment lovely. I am going to go check out your blog now! :)

Annie - You're a doll. Thanks so much! Im a bit of a shoe freak ;) Thanks for reading and for leaving me a sweet comment! xx

ReplyDeletemy favorite part about your blog is the photography! so gorgeous.. and the locations you shoot in :) i don't remember how i found your blog-last month maybe, but i loverrr it

ReplyDeleteA Lost Feather - Hi! Hahaha seriously!! That is the worst, right? I always tell people too. I remember I told a girl one time that her tag was sticking out of her pants in the back..and she got mad at me! I think she was just embarrassed! But yikes! Thanks so much! Im blessed to have a good camera to capture such great photos and a beautiful city to boot. Just checked out your blog and YOUR photography is amazing! I am in love! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI don't comment as often as I'd like to, but I adore your blog. You have such a great eye for vintage and I love your photos.
ReplyDeleteoh no way! she got mad? that is so silly.. yeah she must have been embarrassed, but geez! haha or maybe she was trying to make a statement of sorts
ReplyDeleteaw thank you, that is so sweet :)
JoAnn - I love your blog! Thanks so much for your comment. I need to comment on your blog more often too. Hope you're well and have a great rest of your week! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Kate!! NYFW this fall? I wanna meet you so bad! Love ya xo
ReplyDeleteHey Kate! :) been loving your blog lately, getting some great inspiration for outfits!! Having a blog is such a great way to find new friends/other people that are interested in the same stuff as you. I'm living in a university city where all my good buddies have moved away so it's nice to find people out there with similar interests! :)

ReplyDeleteColor Shows - Nice to 'meet' you via blog hehe. Thanks so much for reading!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Kate, i remember the first time I ran into your blog. I thought 1)wow this girl has the best hair EVER 2) She has the best fashion sense. And I looked and read through everything! And I thought to myself okay I will remember this blog (because I was looking at your blog at work while there was downtime) but then when I got home I forgot the name! It took me a good 15 minutes to trace back and find you again! But totally worth it because you are definitely one of my favorite bloggers. =) Oh man when you first commented I nearly couldn't believe that you, the kate(!!!) was commenting on our little ol blog. And you leave THE best comments! For real.
ReplyDeleteSo thank you Kate for making both Caroline and I feel more welcomed. Twas a little scary, but people like you are what makes this blogging experience totally worth it. =)
-Erin (http://keepcalmandstyleon.blogspot.com)
Erin - You just made me the happiest girl! Thank you so much for that incredibly sweet comment. You and Caroline are two of my favorites (seriously!) I love you girls and the idea behind your blog. Two best friends, room mates, out to conquer the fashion world. You guys are amazing. I love your comments on my blog and I look forward to them always so that means a lot to me. Im so glad I have you two as readers. YOU make this blogging experience worth it. xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteHi! I've been a reader for a while, but a follower for a short time. I love your blog, and this was such a cute idea for a post. Oh, and just to state the obvious, you have wonderful style.
ReplyDeletewow you're so cute! I love this post idea. So much fun. I hate meet and greets too haha. ummm, I first discovered you when you left a sweet comment on my blog not too long ago. I came to your blog to check you out and fell madly in love. Mostly because we have the same obsession with McDonalds and I have never met anyone on earth who felt the same love <33. Just kidding that wasn't the only thing I liked about your blog. =p
ReplyDeleteI also loved your style and how sweet and friendly you seem. I ended up reading your blog all night and started following ever since then. I would be super excited to hear back from you! =)
Lucia - Hi! :) Thanks so much for your comment! I absolutely LOVE the name Lucia. Thought you should know! thanks for reading darling. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLikeSpinningPlates - This made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDelete1. I love that you love Mcdonalds just as much as me. There is very few people that I have met in life that are obsessed with Mcdonalds like I am. I would go there any day of the week!
2. I absolutely love your blog and glad we share this mutual feeling. Its amazing!
3. You're a gem. and I really loved hearing from you. Thanks so much. Have a great week girl!! Go eat some Mcdonalds!! ;) xo
hi darling, i love your blog and your style :) xo
ReplyDeleteEmma - Hi! I love your blog too! Eep. You always have such amazing outfits (and hair! Im in love with it!) Thanks for leaving a comment. :)
ReplyDeleteHello! I am Mars, I am a fashion blogger, too (fashion insouciance) and I've discovered your blog only now. I saw the link from the blog Flattery. I've been looking and reading your past posts for the past hour and all I can say is that I love it. :) Your pictures have that hazy feel that I want to achieve with my photos. Your words are witty and so fun to read, as if I am having a casual conversation with a close friend. I am your new follower, looking forward to your future posts!
ReplyDeleteMars of fashion insouciance

ReplyDeleteEllarose - Hi love! I dont live in Australia anymore! I moved home in December, but I lived there for 3 years. Absolutely loved it. Such a gorgeous country. Where abouts are you from? Thanks so much for reading. So great to hear from you!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm a semi lurker and partial twitter friend. I love your outfits and how everything looks so easy and cool. Enviable to say the least. Plus, you can tell from your writing that you are a sweetheart. Makes me want to be real friends! Say hi sometime :)
ReplyDeleteI'm from Tasmania, the little island down the bottom. It is a amazing country, great scenery.
ReplyDeleteBabes in Thriftland - I love your tweets! You are a doll. So good hearing from you! I want to be real friends too. Can all of us bloggers just live in the same city, please?! hehe..imagine? Hope you are well darling. Speak soon. xo
ReplyDeleteEllarose - I always wanted to go there! I will someday :)
ReplyDeleteHiii Kate :) This is such a cute idea for a post. You are definitely one of my favorites--though I think you know that? Because I love your wardrobe and your ability to put together outfits that have a little edge to them.
ReplyDeletehehehe. you are in a comfy couch. for some reason, this makes me smile :)
Lea - Ah, you're amazing! Always love comments from you. Thanks so much for writing. You put a smile on my face. So glad you like Postcards From! Talk soon lady! xoxo

ReplyDeleteKate- you are basically my favorite person EVER. I love how happy you seem and how you are ALWAYS smiling in your pictures. Seriously, do you ever have a bad day?;) I love that we've been following eachother for what seems like EVER! I love that in my very first blog entries when I had 3 followers, you were just as enthusiastic in your comments as you are now. It's SO cool to watch how people change and grow over time and you are seriously such an interesting/adorable girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is easily one of the best in the world. I <3 it to pieces and even if I don't always comment, I read every word in every post!
Nice still kate!
ReplyDeleteYou are looking so cute in this still.
Introduction Letters
I guess it's a good time to say hi... I'm Sarah and I adore your style. It's kind of the vibe I'm hoping to hit on--a little rock and a little girly. I'm pretty new to reading your blog as well as blogging myself (so if I seem like a creeper, it's the ineptness talking).
ReplyDeleteI'm also that girl that tweeted you about Old Gregg. Let's hope my social skills are not like his. (:
Hi! I'm completely in love with your blog and your fashion sense! I love reading your blog and just wanted you to know I think you should be really proud of this beautiful place you share with so many people, there's a reason you have so many people reading your blog you know, be proud of it lovely :) xx
ReplyDeleteI've been following you for about 4 months and do comment sometimes, I love the locations you shoot in and the colours in your photos (and obvs your outfits!). I think you were also one of the first to comment on my blog ;) xx
ReplyDeletehola-la! I like to check blogs, I do not have much fave blogs of fashion but yours is one of them. Even if I dont have a fashion blog-mine is something strange :)- I like your blog cause you have a fresh style!
ReplyDeleteHai Kate! Pretty sure I comment your posts quite a lot but not enough ;) Love that photo of you, the cardigan is perfection. xx
ReplyDeleteI've been openly following but I love your blog and I love this picture.
ReplyDeleteHello :) Ive been following you for past few weeks and loving your blog already! Youve been inspiring me through your beautiful outfits!

hi kate! i have been reading your blog for a few months now. i always read it when i am lacking inspiration and to hear your optimistic take on life, traveling, and fashion! it is nice that a blogger is so involved with her readers, you seem like an awesome girl :)
ReplyDeletehttp://carolynlang.blogspot.com/
Hi I'm new to your blog and find it quite lovely! Def one of my regular reads now!
ReplyDeleteHello there! My name is Christy, and I'm a new-ish reader. I found your blog on one of those lazy mornings spent hopping from blog to blog and was instantly smitten. I love your penchant for brightly-colored lipstick and the way your photos always capture this sense of joy and cheeriness. You seem like such a wonderful lady--definitely the sort of person I'd want to go get ice cream with. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi! I think we've talked before but I'll say hullo again! I love looking at your pictures, your style is something I'm enormously jealous of! Keep up the awesome style and beautiful smile!
ReplyDelete-K

ReplyDeleteMicheal - Thanks! You're a gem.
Sarah - I laughed so hard when I got your tweet about Old Gregg. anyone who even knows about Old Gregg seals the deal for me.

How about a reintroduction? I have been quietly stalking your blog for a while now... but don't worry I'm harmless.
ReplyDeletePS: the comment about the fly being undone reminded me of my good-ol-days at the boot when I tried to tell a girl that her fly was undone, and she and her mother were like, "oh it happens all the time with these jeans"... which makes me wonder if she knows that it happens all the time, why doesn't she wear underwear?
Rachelous - I love your blog!! :) Thanks so much for leaving a comment for me..so glad that you have stuck around and still enjoy reading. Have a great week. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWild Lola - Hola! Aw, thank you so much for your comment. So glad to hear you like reading Postcards From. Where are you from? You are gorgeous.

Chels - The feeling is mutual! I looove you :) So thankful to have met you through this whole blogging experience. I am doing well lady. How are you?! How is Scott? Hope you two are well. Speak soon, promise?! xo
ReplyDeleteI love how you mix stuff up in your style. You do a lot of that girlie/tough combo and it works really well for you. Your photos are awesome--- I love that vintagey, sort of blurry look they have, and they usually have an interesting cast of blue or something that just makes them really pretty. And you're so fun to read! I loved that open letter to AA you did not long ago. But what I really appreciate is that time I commented something about your post about not eating sausage and other delicious foods, right after I first discovered your blog, and you took the time to send me a little email and say hi and respond. It was short and simple, but that sort of real communication between bloggers is part of what's so awesome about blogging.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time here, and I LOVE your blog. Your personality is amazing. Your openness is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be back. :)

I'm Meagan, I write a blog called Mo Pie, Please, I live in Chicago but am soon moving away to live a slower paced life. I like cats and triangles and coffee and books and painted nails. Also, I'm pretty sure I have that same sweater you're wearing in the adorable picture above. Urban? Thanks for warning me about my fly!
ReplyDeleteHehe, hi Meagan! So lovely to hear from you. I am going to check out your blog now. Any girl that likes triangle and coffee is amazing in my books. Yes, Urban Outfitters! Isnt it absolutely amazing? So smitten! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello there! I'm Michelle and I stumbled upon your blog from looking at another one...etc etc. haha. I love the layout of your blog and you've inspired me to look cute and yet comfortable at the same time...even if it's chilly outside! I love your unique style and personality that shines through your writing. You've inspired me to start my own blog which is in progress right now :) Thank you! Hope you have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteHey Kate! Although we have never met (and shamefully I have never posted a comment) we're quite connected! :) My husband and I met during our DTS at RTO and have since married and moved to little ol'Kelowna. We're good friends with the Mully's and through them have heard that you and Nath are together. I do read your blog often and have marveled at your fashion sense and continual excitement and wonder at the world around you. Hope you'll always keep that strong sense of self you have and keep your head up knowing you were created beautifully. (Stephanie)
ReplyDeleteMy second time here and I'm already loving it....(: From what I can tell, you have a strong following, and for good reason! Your whimsical touch makes your blog magical where other blogs have fallen short, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon you! Keep it up :) - Beatrice
ReplyDeleteHi! I've been reading for awhile, but just started actually commenting the blogs I read and trying to get into the blogging community. I'm even starting to update my blog more often. I don't know what took me so long to take the leap and actually connect!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your blog is adorable and I enjoy stopping by. It's so awesome that you want to chat with your readers too!
Mackenzie
