If you don’t know what Bloglovin‘ is, allow me to do the honors (and if you do, skip to the next paragraph): You know all those gorgeous, inspirational blogs you stumble upon every day? Well have you ever wished there was a way to keep track of them all? If so, Bloglovin’ is a total lifesaver. Not only does it help you discover new blogs based on your interests, but it makes it so much easier to stay caught up on them all, too. Check it out to see for yourself… pure genius.
When you think about the fact that the members of the Bloglovin’ team spends 40+ hours a week looking at gorgeous blogs, it’s really no surprise they’re all so stylish… and their workspace is just as lovely. We sat down with a few members of the team to learn a little bit more about what inspires their styles, and what it’s like to work at an innovative, cutting edge company…

Is this not exactly what comes to mind when you think of the workspace of a hip New York tech company? High ceilings, giant windows and an exposed brick wall make this lofty space somewhere that the Bloglovin’ team looks forward to spending time every day.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think the Bloglovin’ team was in fact a group of fashion bloggers! This group knows a thing or two about putting together casual-cool outfits and achieving that effortlessly chic look.
How do you describe your personal style?
Emily (left): Rocker chic — all you will see in my closet is a sea of black, white and grey.
Kelly: The Modern Bohemian — “feminine meets masculine”

Kamiu (VP, Business Development & Finance), we love your classic modern style. What are you planning to add to your wardrobe this spring and summer?

Kelley (Blogger Relationship Associate), as the blogger behind The City and Us, tell us a little bit about your style inspiration:
I grew up in Vermont where style is very relaxed and casual. Now I live in Brooklyn, and surprisingly, there are many similar fashion trends here (Patagonia, clogs, plaid, Woolrich — it’s uncanny!) but with a slight edge. I’m inspired by that mix of laid-back New England with city street style.
Where are your favorite places to shop?
Madewell, H&M and my sister’s closet.
What do you love about working at Bloglovin’?
My favorite thing about working at Bloglovin’ is working with smart, talented people who really believe in the goals and mission of the company.
On behalf of all bloggers out there, thanks for the wonderful work that you do and for inviting us into your gorgeous space!
