Hi there! I’m Keira Lennox. I’m a small town girl from the sunshine state with an affinity for bookstores, iced tea, thrift shops, comfort food, and deep discounts. I live miles and miles from the nearest H&M, I don’t read Vogue, and I can’t tell you who’s sitting front row during Fashion Week; but I really love clothes. Especially when I can find them on sale.
I started A Pretty Penny in the spring of 2010, after stumbling upon the world fashion blogging and falling head-over-heels. I wanted to create a little space of my own to share my take on real-life style on a real-life budget.
Shortly after launching the blog, my husband, Chad, and I made the life-changing decision to leave our corporate jobs and take the reigns of his parents’ successful flower shop. We didn’t know the first thing about flowers or small business ownership, but with a lot of faith, patience, and elbow grease, we’re making it work one day at a time.
These days, you’ll still find the style and beauty posts of yore; but they’re peppered with snippets of our blooming business, the occasional easy-to-follow DIY project, stories about my life, and glimpses into my kitchen.
I love how you decided to blog about fashion so differently…most blogs go for haute couture and expensive clothing aiming to attend the most “must” fashion events.
I found your blog with WP’s “recommended blogs” feature. Love it. :) Looking forward to it.
Thank you! That’s exciting!! :)
Hi Keira, I just nominated you for the Liebster blog award. I’m a follower of yours and love your blog. I feel like it’s a shot of sun and springtime and really look forward to every post. I’m not sure if you participate in the blog awards stuff and I know that they can sometimes be a bit tedious with the rules and all of the writing so no pressure at all! :) http://wp.me/pVHMq-xE
You have such a wonderful blog and beautiful smile! -))
Thank you! That is so sweet of you to say :-)
Love your blog! Check out mine, maybe something will spark your interest and you’ll follow me! Hope to hear from you soon! :)
Your eclectic mix of interests to blog about are intriguing. I love your fashion input and especially the lucrative knock-offs we all want…naturally :) I own an online fashion jewelry boutique named Autumn’s Way. My shop, Lauren’s Picks, is filled w/ countless pieces I hand select from inventory my parent co., Kitsy Lane, receives from emerging and ever so talented designers. Lauren’s Picks is eclectic in jewelry style and color scheme. There is a bonus to my business – every piece is budget-friendly depending on the individual & I offer weekly Flash Sales to knock down already low prices. If interested, my address is: https://laurenalain.kitsylane.com. A Pretty Penny is a great find!
