Say My Name


Brunch with Amber: Say My Name Link Up

Yup, you heard it correctly, we are taking it back old school and linking up with Amber, Stephanie and Amanda to tell you why, how on earth I came up with my blog name!

Well, if you have been reading my blog for anytime now, you know a few things about me: I am blonde (well naturally, not at the moment though because remember that time I decided to go dark?); a lawyer, and former pageant queen. Naturally when I decided to blog I thought well I could go Elle Woods since I have been likened to her a lot. But actually, my first blog, which lasted only a hot minute was called "Young, Married, Professional?" I had just gotten married and was about to start my first lawyer girl job. But hubs was not so much a fan. So I quit blogging for a while. 

Fast forward to starting my job. I realized the experiences I was going through were unique, funny, stressful and my friends and family wanted to hear about it. Mostly my lawyer friends lamented. So I decided to start again. This time I went the lawyer route and Illegally Blonde was born!

While I mostly blogged about being a young lawyer, I have also taken on life, fashion, cooking, random thoughts and everything else in between. I still blog about being a lawyer, but I have to edit myself sometimes so I ya know, still have said job in the morning! JK. My job is just like any other lawyer for the most part, we worry over every 6 minutes, we strive for perfection, labor over one word, go down rabbit trails, work on the weekends yada yada.... But I am blessed that although I may not love what I do every day, I love who I do it with every day (for the most part). I have great co-workers! So enough about my blog name, let's hear about yours!

  3. My (Mostly) Healthy Life came about because I was blogging A LOT about fitness and nutrition, however I do enjoy vodka and not-so-healthy foods after I've consumed adequate amounts of vodka so the (mostly) happened... seemed like a natural fit :)

  7. Love this! My blog, wearing white after labor day, came about because i started my blog the summer before my post-labor day wedding (where of course i wore white), and it symbolizes my aplroach to fashion and law. Not taking things too seriously, and believing the best things are found living outside of the box.
