Design Blog Profile: Oh, Hello Friend!

No offense to any men out there, but sometimes we’re in the mood for a blog that’s girly, frilly, lacy and lovely. There’s just something about browsing around a blog with fun finds and soft colors, and one of our favorites, Oh, Hello Friend, is a great place to do all that and more. With a delightful mix of all sorts of posts, you’ll find something to love on this neat design blog.



Started in May of 2008 by Danni, a recent graphic design graduate, Oh, Hello Friend was originally intended to be a forum to share Danni’s hopes, dreams, ideas and thoughts of the design world. But, the site slowly became an ongoing study of many inspirational items, from interiors, to graphic design, to letterpress to any number of other fun and pretty to look at things.


A particular feature to this blog that we enjoy deeply is Danni’s daily feature. There’s a weekly giveaway, an inspire: lovely section, lovely goods, resource, happy Friday, daily collections and daily photograph. We love being able to count on a specific feel and item to expect each day, and love the consistency.


Everything on the site just seems so lovely and thoughtful. Things are just posted randomly, but with a real purpose. Danni curates this ongoing collection of inspiration very intelligently, and we really enjoy not having to dig through boring stuff to get to the good things we want to look at.


If you love the style and vibe of Oh, Hello Friend a lot and want to take it home with you, guess what? Danni runs an Etsy shop as well! You’ll love looking through the gorgeous photos of things for sale on her Etsy page as much as looking through the pages of the blog, and many of the wares are priced reasonably. So, if on this beautiful day you’re interested in seeing some lovely, girly, soft inspiration, check out the great blog Oh, Hello Friend!
