ModCloth Blogger of the Moment
>> Wednesday, June 2, 2010
In a few days, I will be celebrating the one year anniversary of my first ever photo shoot. In that post, I'm wearing my first ModCloth dress and that also happened to be the first time I was ever featured on ModCloth's blog. These coincidences may seem random, but to me they are eerily fitting.
Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling!

Now that you know my secret, how many of you guessed it?
XOXO
I most certainly did not guess it. I suppose that is the result of the last 5 "I have news!/an announcement!" statements I've heard being baby announcements.
you always have such pretty outfits, as well as the perfect surroundings to match!!

Well, I didn't guess, but I think it is perfect!
I am totally going to buy that dress as soon as I can. :)
Congratulations!
HOORAY! I am so happy for you, Maria, really. It's great to hear about the progress your blog has made! It's definitely been my favorite since I discovered it.
The dress is so pretty and versatile too. Chambray for summer is perfect.
Hope things just keep getting better and better for you and your blog :)

Congrats! The dress looks fabulous on you - absolute perfection. What a fun way to celebrate your blog's 1-year anniversary.

PS: I'm in love with Wellie. What an absolute sweetheart! And that is a perfect looking pug, btw.
Congratulations! That dress is SO lovely and so very you, and very very versatile. And could you look more gorgeous in that last photo?!?!xoxo

Perfect outfit! AND I have to say that I love your make-up!
the make-up suits you very well, also the has is very interesting.
congrats! this is such an achievement! and the dress is beautiful! beautiful pictures too xxx
V. exciting, congratulations! The dress is similar to one I checked out recently, although the one I was checking out was a bit less A-line and a bit more sheath. Lovely. And yes, it's scary when a clothing company seems to know you better than you know yourself, although I've experienced that also!
Congratulations again!
Congrats, Maria! Well deserved and super exciting :) - btw, I LOVE your modcloth picks - I would have picked the exact same things.

Just found you via ModCloth blog. Love the dress and I'm looking forward to exploring your blog more (what I've seen so far is wonderful!). I keep giggling about your Coach purse - I have the same one, given to me as my first "grown up" handbag a dozen or so years ago. Guess it's time to bring it out of retirement!
Lovely dress and accessories !

In response to casting you in my future movie, I think we'd click if we met. I'm really dorky and geeky myself, so I think our personalities would match :)

The dress is soooo cute, I'm very tempted to buy it, if only I had extra cash, sigh*
congrats! that dress is adorable and so you!
Congratulations on your feature and I loved the interview. I live near the city but I never minded having people think "what is she doing". . .because I have been hearing that since I was 7 with my way of dress so I have adjusted easily. It must be beautiful to live near a rural area. I long for the country area. I have relatives that live in usch areas and it is so beauitful and peaceful. I love your outfit and continue to love your blog.

I am so glad you were featured on ModCloth, it's how I found you're lovely blog! I love seeing what looks you've put together and your photo shoots are breathtaking, your husband is a really talented photographer!
