Good morning, sunshines! Happy Halloween. I did my celebrating over the weekend with a bottle of Veuve and a hilarious bunch of witches. How about you?
I also kicked around an idea and would really appreciate your thoughts. Since starting this blog, I’ve been asked a bazillion times if I’d consider adding style content. I never did because my brain can only hold so much and much of it is beauty-related. However. I was a lifestyle editor in a former life and my infatuation with fashion, home decor, and striped anything has never waned. I wonder: Would it be weird if I talked about these topics on the blog from time to time? Maybe anything of beauty would be fair game? Be honest. Although this blog is a total act of self-indulgence, the fact that you humor me is what keeps me going! xo –Bets

Hello lovelies! I'm Elizabeth Dehn, a beauty writer + lifestyle editor who's equally fanatical about lip gloss as juice cleansing. I live in Minneapolis with Mr. Bets and our white lab, Molly Thomas . . . 



















As your only male reader, I would welcome more style information. Beauty is beauty.
DO IT. (Also where is the illustration from? My obsession with fashion illustration runs deep.)
If you’re interest is leading you there, and you have the ability (whether it’s yourself or with some help of other writers) then absolutely follow! Passion and genuine interest is the stuff that make great blogs. As long as you can package that in readable and awesome content -which no doubt you can- then you should always let your passion and curiosity lead.
Do it.
Hell yes, go for it…if it does not work (and I am sure it will) you can always abandon that path!
Yay!! Would love it!
Yes! A style section would be fun.
I absolutely love your blog right now, so who says a style section won’t make it even more amazing? Keep up the great work
Do it!! I’m completely obsessed with those topics as well, and it seems like a perfectly natural progression. :) I support you whole-heartedly!
Go for it! :)
Yay!! I think beauty and fashion go hand in hand!!
A big YES! Can’t wait to see it!
Style stuff is an awesome idea! Great venue to share inspiration! :)
You should do it! I think “beauty” encompasses all of those things you mentioned. I also feel like a blog should have all the things you love and if fashion and home decor are 2 of your passions then for sure you should write about them!
I bet Jason DeRusha isn’t your only male reader…
Yes, abso-freakin-lutely. Go for it!
Thanks for the thumbs up, everyone! Hopefully you’ll feel the same way once I start the style engines . . .
@Melissa – The illustration is by Clare Owen, a UK-based illustrator, though I nabbed it from another blog: http://ohthelovelythings.blogspot.com/2011/10/art-i-heart-thursday-clare-owen.html
Love the idea! Fashion goes hand in hand with beauthy so it would be an easy transition for readers. If you’ve got fashion tips and finds (especially from the Minneapolis area), I would love to hear them!
Yes please- I already know you have fabulous taste and can help a sister out. Can I still text you pictures of my outfits though?
